bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 been using win rar, I have 202 working tables. Just seems like the SAM thing that's failing. But win rar excepts zip files. Are there known issues using winrar? Should I be using winzip? The roms are in zip format.
outhere Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Not that I know of but I know there are some .zip programs that leave the files blocked more than others after you unzip the file.... i would make sure you check your files...... I use 7 zip
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 OMG, this is so beyond crazy frustrating! I have tried the suggested setup in the previous screenshot. I can figure out for the life of me how to post a screenshot to this thread. I have it but I don't see an option for thumbnail or attachment. Can someone please tell me where the button is. This way, you can see what I'm doing and hopefully spot what is wrong. Thanks!
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 So here is what I got. I tried both af and as and also all the exact same. the error seems to be saying it's looking for the af file. when I run setup test, it shows an x next to the as file. so confused.
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 I did right click the zip file and unblock but no luck fixing it
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted March 6, 2015 Content Provider Posted March 6, 2015 It says you have the spanish version? Delete your current potc rom and try this https://app.box.com/s/o0k0qct95aevdaffc7m6pnqrrwcf2uv4
outhere Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 The picture you put out there is too small by the time I blow it up its all blurry.... Check your VPinMAME.dll file and the Sam.VBS to see if they are blocked..
outhere Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I download that ROM and tried it in my cabinet and work fine just so you know....That is the same rom I use, the English / Spanish version
Content Provider arngrim Posted March 6, 2015 Content Provider Posted March 6, 2015 on windows 8 i got too many problems installing vp on program files, outside solved my issues
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 I did move my VP to c:\visual pinball instead of program files. Just an FYI but no luck yet.
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 I loaded the potc file posted above and still get the attached error. I also reposted the other stuff so you can see my setup.
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 crap, I don't know why my screens are so darn small. they are normal when I view them here. what the hay.
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 OK, that seems to be visible. more to follow
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 table script and test showing it's being seen. I did make sure the dll and sam.vbs are not blocked too.
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 by the way, I am running windows 8.1, VP 9.9.1 and the latest sam based vpinmame 2.6. I have it all under c:\ and not program files.
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Is anyone else running 8.1 with VP 9.9.1 and able to run this?
outhere Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 I'm assuming when you test the installation of the ROM you got the same error
Content Provider arngrim Posted March 6, 2015 Content Provider Posted March 6, 2015 i am running on win8 and it's ok here, when you changed of folder, did you reregister the dll with setup.exe? did you test your rom with setup.exe, test option?
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Yes, same error when I click to run the rom from test. something is amiss but I can't wrap my head around it. I feel like I have done everything suggested. is anyone else successfully running this table on windows 8.1 with VP 9.9.1. I can't imagine why it shouldn't work. seems like somewhere, the system is blocking it from running but I already unblocked it and made sure every user tied to the file has full control access.
outhere Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Did you test other roms to make sure they still work?
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 Hey Arngrim, yes I tested and get the vbscript error from setup. I did run setup and confirmed I'm running the lates DLL 2.6. I'm running 8.1, are you running 8 or 8.1? Still need to confirm if anyone is successfully running 8.1 with this table. gonna try another table at some point
bpjacobsen Posted March 6, 2015 Author Posted March 6, 2015 sheesh, so I tried Avatar 2010 and got it working on the first try. what the heck?
