In the tables folder  -- TheGooniesDMD

sorry for a dumb question but this a first table for me.  does this need a rom as well? I couldn't find one in the roms section.  TIA

Nope, no rom needed.  You will need FlexDMD installed and the included .b2s and TheGooniesDMD folder in the Tables folder alongside the table file.

Thanks!! What a great table!!

Just a heads up for anyone using Launchbox. I had to add Controller.Stop at the end of the Table1_Exit sub as the pup pack wouldn't close. It closes fine when launched from the editor, just not in Launchbox. Added at line 1501

1492    Sub Table1_Exit
1493             Savehs
1494             If B2SOn Then Controller.Stop

1495

1496             If enableFlexDmd Then
1497                  FlexDMD.Show = False
1498                  FlexDMD.Run = False
1499                  FlexDMD = NULL
1500             End If
1501              Controller.Stop
1502    End Sub

Is one player game

This looks amazing, I can't wait to start playing this (I have to get it on my Cabinet, but having some PC issues at the moment).

Does anyone know if this is built original from scratch, or is it a reskin of another table?

I can't get the DMD to show. Maybe it is related to this error in the log: 

Failed to load dmdscreen.dll in d:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME\dmdscreen.dll 

Indeed, the dll doesn't exist. If this is the fix, how do I get it?

Not sure where that dll comes from; it's not in FlexDMD or DMDext, so it must be part of the vpinmame install?

FlexDMD 1.8 includes this line in the changelog: "Add support for dmdscreen.dll (if it exists, it will receive the same calls as dmddevice.dll)"

 

I'd say update all 3 just to be safe 🤷‍♂️

It turns out, the problem was the .ini file. Both of these were set to false:

; a DMD that renders with nice dots on a computer monitor
[virtualdmd]
enabled = True

; virtual dmd stays on top of all other windows
stayontop = true
 

It was the first one that got it working, but I enabled the second one before that and assume it is needed too.

Phenomenal game! VPW are masters at their craft!

are you using the flexdmd or the pupdmd? I'm in desktop and use the pupdmd as shown below

Edit the vpx script and see lines 138-141 if they look like this for pupdmd

138 Const enablePupPack        = True
139 Const enablePupDMD      = True ' Enable PupPack must be true if this is set to true

140

141 Const enableFlexDmd        = False

 

and then line 170 set to 0 for LCD screen

dim PuPDMDDriverType: PuPDMDDriverType=0

 

EDIT - I got the DMD showing.  I had put the pup files in the folder generated by PuPlayer.  The script had the wrong folder name listed so I changed it in the script.

The only issue left is the overlay.  I'll take it to the pup pack page.

If I remember right I had to use pup pack editor to change the overlay to always show or force on.

It's something else.  I'm working on finding a fix lol.

here's my screens pup if you wanna try it

screens.pup

I found the fix.  I can't remember what it was now lol.  It was something with my setup at the time.  Probably something simple that I kept overlooking lol.

Still though, much appreciated Cliffy   SIDENOTE:  There was a table I wanted to ask you about as it needed some touch-ups for desktop users.  I figured if someone had tuned it up, it would be you lol.  Problem is... I can't remember which table it was LOL.
