      If rom is named correctly and zip is named correctly do you have skip checksum checked in vpinmame?

        probs not :) I’ll hunt up where that little nugget is hidden and try it tonight when I get home.

        Thanks,

          nope not that .. it was already selected. I’ll try a different rom, maybe this one is corrupt ?

            So Dozer sent me a version of the table to check out with the new models all added in and here was my response to him:

             

            “I think it looks great, we do good work.

            Also I noticed a pretty massive performance boost with this version, previously (with my new video card evga 1050ti ftw) I could run the table stutter free but I had to turn off 4xAA. As soon as I would turn on 4xAA it would stutter really badly but now I can play it with 4xAA on with no signs of stutter. So considering how costly 4xAA is on performance, the boost the table got from this update is quite obvious.”

              I also noticed the prison zombie model was updated….I think by ninuzzu?….not sure but in any case it’s had it’s face count dramatically reduced as well so we save roughly another 17k faces there.

              I was playing around with Dozer’s options a bit and I was able to squeeze a few extra fps out the table by doing a few small things.  If you select either authentic or my bicycle girl mod, disable the animation for it in the options and set to static.  Do the same for the prison head, set to static after disabling animation.  This really only makes a small difference and most of you will probably be satisfied with the performance boost with the upcoming update, but if you want to make it as optimal as possible you can use the tips I stated above…..generally the more goodies like animations you disable the more it will help.  I think beyond that, the only other major way to improve the table’s performance would be to group the primitive plastics into groups of single mesh’s.  The models for prison head and bicycle girl are pretty low poly so they don’t have a huge impact but animating them does cause for more steady ‘state changes’.

                Yes I reduced all the toys poly count in the previous version and also baked normal maps from the higher poly models that I found in the previous releases.

                        1.5 is awesome! I love the way Dark’s models pickup all the cool lighting. Flupper’s ramps are beautiful. Drop targets look killer. Physics are fast and smooth. This is the best! Thanks, guys.

                        :D

                          Glad it seems to be working well for everybody.  I agree, I love Dark’s models and art – I really love the organic look of them.  When I try to make a model in Sculptris it looks like a turd with a nose so I was very lucky to have him for this game.

                                            The new version is incredible. Hard to believe how this came together since early versions. Nice work, all!
