VPinMAME looking for ROM

[Goffman]

Hey guys. I'm on windows eleven with most current updates for Visual Pinball. When I go to launch a table i get a message saying VPinMAME is looking in the ROM directories for a file that isnt there. I have placed the ROM file for the table UNZIPPED in the rom folder of VPinMAME. I am also getting a message that reads. Game ROMs for 'eatpm_14' (Elvira and the party monsters (LA-4) invalid   Any ideas?

Do not unzip rom files, they have to stay zipped. Place them as .zip files in your roms folder.

I misspoke. They are currently ZIPPED. my bad. any other possible solutions?

As always... At first try to check the ROM directly with vpinmame.

Be sure to have an actual vpinmame version

Start install.exe (or install64.exe) , check the pathes,

Click on test, choose your ROM, click on check to verify it, click on game options for it, enable "show dmd", start it to see the rom-dmd.

So you are sure the ROM is ok and vpinmame is ok.
