Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted January 24, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted January 24, 2019 official rev r4689 update BASS library to 2.4.14 Wheel of Fortune (V6.02 Home Rom) From the source: /* As someone stated, the main gameplay change that is noticeable is that there are “mode goals.” The goal is simply to score x points before time runs out. If you get the goal, you won, great. The next mode, the goal would be higher. If you didn’t win, oh well, the next mode, the goal would be lower. Also, you could replay the mode you failed, at 2x points. If you failed the same mode twice, you could play it a 3rd time for 3x points. If you failed 3 times, the game gave up. Oh, also for each mode you won, you got a “winnings x” for that ball’s bonus. IIRC there’s no logic for completing the wheel yet, but the reward was going to be something like 10M for each mode won on try #1, 5M for each on try #2, 2.5M for each on try #3, and 1M for failed modes. If by some unfathomable stroke of luck you completed every mode on the first try, you’d get a bonus to round up the total to 100M. */ /* The mode stuff is basically there’s a common goal of points (starts at 5M). If you finish a mode, the goal goes up, if you lose a mode, the goal goes down. If you don’t finish a mode, it stays in the rotation, and if you play it again it scores 2x, and if you fail and play again it’s 3x. If you don’t hit the goal after 3x, it stops trying. Winning a mode also gives you a winnings x for that ball. This was all meant to lead up to a payout for hitting the goal in every mode: 10M/5M/2.5M/1M for finishing in 1 try / 2 tries / 3 tries / DNF. If you finished every goal on the first try (somehow), the bonus would get augmented to 100M. */ /* Lamp test was extended so the wheel LEDs are now tested in lamps test, in six additional columns! Included in the lamp test are also two formerly undocumented LEDs: GI upper left and right. */ SAMBuild_r4689.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalpinball Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Hey guys, After numerous hours of reading up on fast flips, I found my self posting on here. Maybe someone could be of assistance. When running fast flip supported tables solely in VPX, when pressing f11, I will get the right numbers. .4-.6 ms. But, when loading the table through my front end, pinball x, after pressing f11, I am getting 13-26ms. I know djrob says that f11 can be affected by other things...but I wouldn't think it would change from running the table through vpx alone, then have it load through pinball x....I mean, aren't you loading though vpx anyhow? The table I am working on is Lethal Weapon 3. I just find this weird...I tried no using a backglass server....I deleted any script file stragglers. Any help would be appreciated! -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesperpark Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I don't want to clutter this thread up too much... but I tested various tables in and out of PinballX and fast flips works correctly using PinballX and without for me. 2 ideas I have is first make sure your PinballX is up to date, also try using using the 64 bit version to help speed it up. Also since PinballX runs in the background maybe your computer is being pushed to it's limits? Like I said these are just guesses on my part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lethalpinball Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks for the tips, I’ll give the 64 bit version a try! my pc specs: i5 3 ghz, 8 gigram, windows 7 pro, EVGA 1050 ftw 2gig. UPDATE: Solved issue. I was unaware that when adding games in the game manager, it copied the table file in to the actual table folder. I was modifying the ones that were all nice and organized in my folders inside the table folder, not the actual ones the pinballx was using. Woops! Fast Flips works now!

outhere Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Did you try the 32 bit -- Setup.exe more info https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=40867&p=413287 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightrdrx Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 i think i tried both but anyway...is the beta only for testing purposes? Should I just stick with 3.1 and 10.5 for now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 My recommendation is to stick with this vpm beta. For VPX, well - it all up to you. Know that there more often is issues with those and you should know how to go back a few version and test if you find something odd. Right now I would say. The last 3 versions isn't 100% stable. There might be tables that needs 1.6beta to work as the authors intended. Those guys will almost always be running the latest. It is not a good idea to run beta and come asking questions without rolling back a few versions. It is expected that those that run beta have a understanding of what they are doing.

knightrdrx Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 i guess i don't know what i'm doing. 3.1 was working for the tables i really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 It is not 3.2beta fault. If you extracted the files from this archive into c:\xxxx\vpinmame, overwriting the files and ran the setup.exe and pressed the install button. You would have no problems. You are clearly not ready for anything beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalamus Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 at91jit makes sure everything is in sync - you turn it off and everything is allowed to gets out of sync. You can often get away with it if the computer is fast enough. Sounds like yours isn't. Try to adjust something so it works faster is my advice. You can get lucky and make it run if you open the editor and then load the table via file->open. Another trick that seems to work sometime is to load ACDC first. Except for that. It seems to be unresolvable. Some say Win10 is the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 19, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted February 19, 2019 i have an issue with theatre of magic rom, the one used in the ninuzzu table, tom_14hb the game goes nuts when i approach the multiball mode, it doesn't keep the first ball before the start of the multiball and the third never comes, i guess it has something to do with vpinmame,i had no problems like in the past, but can't really tell since which version. I tried with another pc and same problem here's an example from my cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted February 19, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 19, 2019 Does it do the same thing with official build? If so, I'd post a report in the VPF support thread. https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27063 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as on my current system the file is called PinMAME32.exe. If I just copy this new exe and dll over I assume it will be used? Should I delete the PinMAME32.exe at that point?

Thalamus Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 No. Don't delete anything. Just extract and overwrite those files in VPinmame - then run setup.exe and press the install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted February 20, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 20, 2019 I thought the hack would carry over to the colored code patch. I haven't installed all the SAM tables yet but I haven't run into any issues so far. Do you get FF with the non-patched code, smanve_101? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 20, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted February 20, 2019 yes smanve_101 works ok with fastflips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 20, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted February 20, 2019 no, sorry it doesn't work better with smanve_101, but i found the trick, vpmFFlipsSam.FlipL or FlipR boolean need te be added a the keydown and keyup of the flipperkeys and that works ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 FF should be working on the scripts in the repo. And if they are not, tell me and I'll fix it. Hell, both you and Carny could get write access to it if you just ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
