Did you try editing this file to fix the sound level on the altsound, worked for me. 

 

I've tried that and haven't noticed much of a difference with the altsound volume.  

With altsound disabled and the rom at max volume, it's still incredibly quiet, where the solenoids overpower the sound.

How about this 

Excellent Masterpice! Thanks to all.

Question: When the table was loaded, it "welcomes" me with about 30 seconds(!)  shaker motor. Is this normal? Can this strange behaviour be switched off? 

After this welcome alarm, everything works fine.

Does it still happen if you turn off the self test in the F1 menu?

There is one other thing you can do to boost sound. Click on the DMD so that it is active (the inbuilt DMD, not the Freezy DMD). Then press tilde ~ key on your keyboard, inrease the ROM volume byt pressing right arrow key, left arrow decreases. I dont think it works with the altsound if you have disabled the ROM control though. If you increase it too much with the original ROM you will start to notice some distorted sounds.

Thanks for this tip Gravy this worked to make the ROM louder. As you predicted, it dances on the edge of distortion when the mech sounds are blasting out and its a juggling act of volume tweaks. I also tried it with the altsound and re-enabled the ROM control but it didnt change the volume of the altsound. 
Thanks again for the tip.

For some dumb reason the dof shaker motor is set up to turn on as the Mist Magnet motor moves (which it does at startup). Just remove the shaker from your private dof configuration for this table. We should probably remove it from the public config. 

Maybe the physical shaking of the real cabinet helps with the magnetic dragging of the ball (stops it from getting stuck and releasing from the magnetic attraction), or causes it to wobble a bit like a blood drunk vampire.

ok for the third time any help woud be appreciated everything works except the flippers

The real machine doesn’t have a shaker. 

Ah I see, the thought sounded good in my head.

I hit f1 and disable external DMD and enable the DMD frame.  That brings up a DMD, which isn't Freezy and I presume is what you mean by the inbuilt.  I then hit ~ and hit the right arrow key - nothing seems to happen.

I am using VPinMAME-sc-3.6.0-998-a77c2d2-win-x64

You need to click on the dmd itself and then hit your tilde key. This only works if you use a US style keyboard though. the tilde is something/somewhere else on other layouts

Run the table, press F1, click on “Info…” button bottom left, what is the version of VPinMame shown at the top of the resulting dialog box?

Does someone know why my flippers dont work on this table?

I have everything up to date as required, but for some reason the flippers ar not working

Please don't! The shaker is actually a quite cool feature for the magnet ball, so it catches attention very early to this ball. you won't miss it.

The only irritation thing is the (long) shaking at the first table startup. But after one gaming session, it doesn't appear again when you start the table again. So, everything is fine.

I had the same, but thanks to @apophis it works now. I have updated the Vpinmame through the PinUP Popper Config tool (or you can do it manually. Now everything works.  I thought I was up to date, because the version I had was also 3.6. I didnt know that I also had to look for the date (mine was from 2023 but stil version 3.6)

@apophis What has Vpinmame to do with the flippers that they didnt work? I am a bit new to this all, but cant see the link with Vpinmame

I click on the DMD and hit ~ and it still doesn't seem to do anything.  To access ~ I have to hold down shift and #, so perhaps this is the issue as shift pushes the flippers.   The other keyboard I have has the ~ key next to the 1 key, but still requires shift to be held down.

That’s an older version of VPinMame (Jan 5, 2024). The description provides a link to the minimum required version of VPinMame (which was released in June 23, 2024). I’ll post it again here:

 

https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases/tag/v3.6.0-998-a77c2d2
 

You should probably also confirm that you have actually updated the other software mentioned in the description. 

i downloaded new 3.6 and put it in pinmame and wont change
