Beavis and Butt-head: Pinballed (Original 2024) with VR


Butt-head: "It's about time, dumbass! What took you so damn long!? hh-huh-huh.".. Beavis: "Yeah, loser! heh-heh-heh."
Watacaractr: "Yeah, I know, I know. Sorry guys, too much procrastination."
Butt-head: "hh-huh-huh, he said 'ass'!".. Beavis: "Yeah, heh-heh-heh."

 

Well, after 2½ years in the making and to celebrate three decades of these two snickering metalhead idiots
who will never grow up or score, I am truly proud to finally present..

 

Beavis and Butt-head in.. "Pinballed."

 

Thirty years ago, a cartoon show with this crazy duo aired on MTV that was so divisive that politicians were calling for it to be
removed from the air. It was crass, it was filthy, but most of all, it was downright hilarious. Beavis and Butt-Head hocked a loogie
into the pool of early 1990s pop culture and they've been doing it ever since with episode after episode and a few movies thrown in.

 

As an homage to Mike Judge, Beavis and Butt-head, and to all of the older school pinball diehards out there, I created this table
as it might have looked, and should have been released, back in 1993. Nothing fancy, no videos, etc. Just good ol' fun retro pinball!

 

I want to thank Mr. J.P. Salas for his help(and patience) with the animation scripting and give a big shout out to the original
1991 table's script writers. That table script allowed me to start with a blank canvas to design and build my complete re-theme.
I'd also like to thank the Visual Pinball and Vpinmame development teams! Without you, none of this would be possible!

 

I hope that everyone who downloads this table has as much fun playing it as I did creating it.

 

Cheers!
Watacaractr


IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ!
What you'll need to do to make this table run correctly:
1. You MUST have Vpinmame 3.6 beta or later installed to run this table (it will not run correctly without it).
    Here is the link for the latest Vpinmame version zip file located atop the first page of toxie's post:
https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27063&page=1
    Make sure you install the correct version of Vpinmame (32 or 64bit).
2. Please place the included altsound folder "beav_butt" in to your altsounds folder in Vpinmame.
3. Please place the included "beav_butt.nv" file in to your nvram folder in Vpinmame.
4. Please place the included "beav_butt.vbs" file in to your scripts folder in VPX.
5. Please place the included rom "beav_butt" zip file in to the roms folder in Vpinmame. Do not unzip the file.
    This same rom is also available as a stand-alone file on this site and elsewhere on different sites.
6. Look for the directb2s (2 screen(4:3 ratio), 3 screen & 3 screen w/full DMD) files on this site
     and on other sites as well. Wheel logo for frontends also available.
Note: These same instructions are included in the file

 

That's it. Enjoy!
"hh-huh-huh. You're gonna score!"

Butt-head: "Hh-huh-huh… would it be nice for VR, dumbass?" Beavis: "Yeah! Like, heh-heh, we can, uh… touch stuff! Heh-heh."
Mike DA Spike: "Well guys, 1½ years ago we actually did build you a VR room… and now it’s time for a release!"
Butt-head: "Hh-huh-huh, he said ‘room’… heh, like bedroom! Hh-huh-huh." Beavis: "Yeah, heh-heh, score! …not."

 

About 1½ years ago we began building this VR room and managed to get a lot done.

Unfortunately, due to health issues it became impossible for both of us to finish the project on our own. Thanks to the generous help and support of our friends : @DGrimmReaper , @LordTheRon, @DaRdog81, and @scutters— we were able to continue and bring this update to life.


This release is based on the original work of @watacaractr.
While the core table remains faithful to the original, this version introduces several refinements and adds a hybrid VR room.
The VR room is fully integrated, so there is no need for a separate B2S file,  everything required is included.


V1.1.3 :

Butt‑head: “Hh-huh-huh… hey Beavis, these dudes… Burger and Studly… they, like… added Fleep sounds ‘n nFozzy stuff.”
Beavis: “YEAH! Heh-heh… now the ball goes, like… BOING more realistic! Heh-heh!”
burger: “Uh… yeah guys, we thought it was time for an upgrade.”
studly_do_right: “You know… modern physics, better sounds… the whole deal.”
Butt‑head: “Hh-huh-huh… he said ‘physics’… like ‘physi—’ uh… something smart. Hh-huh-huh.”
Beavis: “Yeah! Heh-heh… smart people suck! But this is cool! Heh-heh!”
Butt‑head: “Good job, dorks… hh-huh-huh… now do more stuff.”
Beavis: “YEAH! Like… add explosions! Heh-heh… EXPLOSIONS!”

thanks to @burger and studly_do_right for adding Fleep sounds and nFozzy physics

I can add credits, but pressing 1 doesn't seem to start the game.

 

Update: well, I didn't change anything, but I came back to it a few hours later, loaded it up and it worked great. Thank you for the table!

for some reason i cant add credits or start a game

this is a modified rom of the ' class of 1812'. 
There is a NV file  that will setup the rom.

You can also check if the rom is OK for your pinamme setup :

You can also check/set the roms settings by going into the service menu

It worked after a while as it stated in the post.
Not sure what’s going on with that, sorry.

To verify, version 3.6.0.1227 should run this correct? I installed the lastest version of PinNMame I could find. Checked rom and comes up state okay on bin files. 
I cant seem to get the game to start after adding credits. I did do the wait a few hours trick but no luck for me. 
Anyone have any ideas?

It should run with that just fine but the latest is vpinmame 3.7.0-206

Get the two bottom files in artifacts here with a free github account

https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/actions/runs/20551101561

Once they are unzipped to your vpinmame folder run setup.exe, check that paths are correct then click install. Do the same with setup64.exe

Bummer still the same. Is there a way to verify that the table file is using the correct pinMame once loaded?

yes hit F1 and the version will be shown at the top.

Did you copy the custom nvram into the vpinmame\nvram folder?

What version vpx are you using? Hopefully the scripts folder is up to date too, it's part of the vpx zip and should always be updated when the version of vpx is updated

That got it working, I 99.9% sure had the NV file in place (as it asked me to replace it(so I replaced it)) and now its working. That was the only other change I made since your last reply.  With that said, I did NOT have the latest vPinMame before I replaced the NV file. 

Thanks @Cliffy for the backup on this!

Having an odd issue: https://cloud.keytoo.org/s/xeNe6NLAoTJJDPj

 

When I hit a high score, I'm unable to use the flipper buttons to enter initials. Everything else works well. I'd argue the DMD looks a little choppy, which I believe may be connected. Any help is appreciate. This table is top notch, I'd love to get it 100% working <3

Also, I deleted the NV because I thought the machine would rebuild it. when I do that, I'm unable to start the machine. FYI.

Thank you so much. I'll have to play all evening and get a great score again and test. If I don't report back, assume it's working and I'm grateful. It's a killer table, quickly became a fav in the house.

I played it myself numerous times today (desktop and cabinet) and only the first time I was AAA, but rest was MIK, so it must works for you as well

The .NV ot.VBS file is not in the download. Where can I get it?

 

All files (including readme) are in the 'Beavis and Butt-head_Pinballed.zip'
this is the original version without fleep sounds and nfuzzy physics.

Sorry to hijack MikeDaSpike, but I wanted to reach out. If you could PM me please (I tried to PM you, but it said you don't accept them). Long\short you're gonna be our first feature of Vpin exclusives on my Youtube stream. I was hoping you may be willing to share a little about you and the process of this table so we may thank you and do your effort justice. This is slated for about 2 weeks from now. Thank you.
