BobAlbright Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I've tried to get this new Star Trek table working a number of times. The table calls for the st_161 rom. I downloaded it from this site and I continue to get the "rom not found " message. I've got the latest Sam stuff and other Sam tables are working OK. Any ideas? Thanks I might add, I 've not been successful in getting Metallica or Mustang working either--same messages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Dazz Posted January 14, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 14, 2016 Sounds like you don't have the most recent SAM Pinmame.dll from here or you didn't hit INSTALL via PinMAME Setup.exe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Ok--I'll download the Sam stuff again and try again . Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 That didn't work. I downloaded the newest Sam stuff and ran setup in pinmame and still get rom not found message. The rom is definitely in the rom folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanaustria Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Setup.exe -> Test -> can you find "Star Trek Pro ... st_161" -> Start ... DMD only should run ... No ? Setup.exe -> Install ... Attention: dont press Uninstall ... you will lose all your DMD/VPM Options ... No ? You havent this: http://vpuniverse.com/forums/files/file/2480-vpinmame-sam-for-desktop-cab-pindmd1-pindmd2-pin2dmd/ Otherwise try this: http://www.sternpinball.com/game-code/game-code-star-trek-p Rename the File to st_161.bin , then zip it to st_161.zip ... (also) thats the right one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Do other Sam tables work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Other Sam tables are working fine.When I go into Setup in Pinmame the rom shows in the list but cliking it says it's not found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Also downloaded rom from Stern , renamed and zipped--same deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukedock Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I had that - and I re-installed VPX and re-ran set up on PinMAME and that sorted it for me.Just do what Stephan said - if you can not see the rom for the game in the 'test' list it wont work.

Content Provider gtxjoe Posted January 14, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted January 14, 2016 Are you download the Star Trek PRO version, STPRO161.bin and rename to ST_161.bin and zipping it as ST_161.zip? Do not download from the Star Trek Premium or LE game, STLE0161.bin. They will not work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Yes..I downloaded from Stern site the stpro161.bin...renamed it st_161 and then zipped it. And I do see it in the test of Pinmame. The rom shows, but it doesn't work...just says it can't find it. Very strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViriiGuy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 did you b chance rename it to st_161 instead of st_161.bin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider allknowing2012 Posted January 15, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted January 15, 2016 And the one on this site doesnt work? http://vpuniverse.com/forums/files/file/3346-st-161zip/ Does your setup.exe -> test show the rom as a valid option?

outhere Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Either one works for me but I see the files are different sizes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 I tried he one from here as well as the one from the Stern website. I did notice they were different size files as well. And Viriguy, I dud name it st_161... Not st_161.bin. I'll try that and the zipping to st_161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 The one from the stern site all I did was downloaded it, zipped it... Rename the zip file (st_161.zip) and it works on my 2 computers.... I never renamed the bin file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'll try it again a little later. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 Driving me crazy! I downloaded again, zipped it, renamed it correctly. No love. I guess I'm going to have to give up on this one. I just got done playing Xmen and Avatar after reinstalling all Sam stuff so my Sam installation has to be ok. Crazy!

outhere Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 You checked this right? users may need to UNBLOCK this file once it has been placed in the correct directory. To UNBLOCK a .dll file, right click on the file and click UNBLOCK. Your VPinmame test - show up like this with the rom and the X next to it?

BobAlbright Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 There is no X alongside my st_161 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider allknowing2012 Posted January 15, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted January 15, 2016 is this the old AC/DC memory issue? Exit out of VP. Open VP, open the table, modify it to not use the backglass - use Vpinmame.controller or set the appropraite number if it uses a .txt settings file. Try it now.. If there are memory issues you get an invalid rom error...just like we saw with AC/DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 If you do not have the X then its not finding the rom.... Did you check your paths to make sure that you're putting the ROM where the path says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 OK guys--thanks for all your suggestions. I found what my problem was. Early in the month, I copied my roms folder with intentions of backing everything up on my external drive. Somehow the shortcut that I had on my desktop where I was dropping the roms got deleted and the roms were going to my backup folder. So my path was ok in my setup, but the roms were not being placed where they were supposed to go. Sorry for taking up your time for my stupid mistake. Sure appreciate all the input! You guys are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobAlbright Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 I am indeed. And Thank you again for your help--and to the table author--kudos! Great table! And , of course, finding my problem also fixed the other recent physmod tables. Whoo hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
