Please correct me if i am wrong… any other changes?
Iron Man from im2_ to im_
xmen from xmn_ to xmen_
avengers from avr_ to avs_
You don’t need to repack the roms, you just need to rename the ZIP file. MAME is smart enough to identify differently named files within the zip if the CRC matches. You also need to change the cGameName in the table script.

December 22, 2016 at 12:11 am #44435Sorry Al I just could not help myself, really i did just want to use that GIF.
About the tables they are good not great, but that’s the real tables fault by no means the author(s). Actually i like newer Stern tables after these were released, the way i look at it they are free anyways, so might as well check them out.
Sorry for the off topic Randr

December 22, 2016 at 9:53 am #44474I think the PM5 version of Avengers is actually pretty good and plays well. I also noticed that xmen should be xmen_ to renamed to xmn_.
One thing I have noticed with this new VPM build that while VPX tables are stable, some of my older PM5 tables now when launching in PinballX will crash at launch. Avengers, Tron, Xmen etc will sometimes crash where on the previous smaller VPM build they were rock solid. I am using the accelerated plunger PM5 build.
Anyone else having similar issues with the older tables crashing since updating and what PM5.exe are you using if everything is rock solid on boot up?

December 23, 2016 at 12:02 am #44566There’s a setting in the VPinMame registry “at91jit” you can try setting to 0 for SAM tables that you’re having crash on startup issues with. JIT compiles SAM code to native x86 dynamically so it will run much faster than the old core. Toxie noted that this JIT compiler has a strange ‘crash once on startup’ issue for him. No one else has reported an issue so far, but it’s worth a try in your case.
Setting at91jit = 0 makes the SAM rom use the old emulated code instead. Do let us know if that helps. You can find it in the regsistry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\(rom name)\at91jjit
Also, I’m not sure if your special PM5 build has Large Address Mode turned on. If it’s not on, it will be much more RAM limited than VPX or official VP9.9 builds. It’s a compiler setting, but there are some tools you can find on google that can turn it on after the fact.

Hey thanks, that regedit fixed my 100% constant crash on Avengers with this new VPM build. Will test with other tables that are crashing with VP5 exe as well.

December 24, 2016 at 2:53 pm #44727Sorry guys but I don’t understand the rename action with XMEN, Avengers and Iron-man.
I renamed the Xmen_151 to xmn_151 rom and change the rom name in the table script. At start I got this error “Line 116. gamename not found!”
Where is my mistake?
please help me

December 24, 2016 at 3:01 pm #44729Hey Pinbolt, don’t forget you also have to change the rom name in the table script for the name change to work properly -> “You also need to change the cGameName in the table script.” if you have done that, make sure you can open the rom in vpinmame by running “setup” and then “test”. Make sure you see the rom in the list and you should be able to test it.

This made table not load vpm would not start put back to 1 and worked fine. new 1.4 of TWD seems to not crash random on startup so must be the size change of table that was issue

January 3, 2017 at 11:04 am #45158hello guys. i am sorry to ask for help once again, but i’m having something weird in my cab.
it’s the Avengers (pm5), the X men (pm5), Iron man and also the Walking Dead LE (vpx) version with the KPG sounds/rom. (also space jam, the simpsons pinball party)
they start-up without errors, they also work like normal. i mean the sound works, the table works without error, you can actually play it.
the only thing that’s not showing is the DMD and its really hard to play a pin without the DMD showing.
here’s what i’ve done so far:
i tested the ROM’s with vpinMame, but it says everything is running fine, it’s just not showing me anything like DMD.
i tried to disable the DDRAW value in the windows registry for the tables i named, but that did not help me.
i uninstalled the vpinMame and then reinstalled again, i copied the SAM file and the vpinmame.dll again
i rebooted a few times, just hoping it would go away. i’m really at the end of my knowledge here, so if you know anything else i may try…You need to login in order to like this post: click here

January 3, 2017 at 1:07 pm #45170When you start the table in question, then hit F1, this screen should come up for you. Make sure the Show DMD/Display Window is checked like above. If you need to make changes then restart the table
I’m no expert but can’t hurt to try
