Help please ROM language switching

[alessandro1971]

Hello and thank you for the good work you do and for all the help you give everyone.

I would like to use the Italian ROM of Frankenstain but I have problems.

I copied the rom of interest into the VpinMame\rom folder, then I went into the pinball script and changed this Const cGameName = "frankst" to the new Const cGameName = "franksti".

But starting the table I get an error on the line .GameName = cGameName. how could i solve?

thanks a lot for the help

What error? If it says game not found you have to have BOTH roms in the vpinmame\roms folder

Hello and thanks for answering me.

This is the error it gives me.

 

 

The original ROM is FRANKST while the one in Italian is FRANKSTI, both are inside the vpinmame\roms folder.

 

 

Could it be the FRANKSTI ROM is not working? I downloaded it from VPUNIVERSE, here is the link:

 

If I try to test the ROM as you can see it doesn't appear in the list.

 

Could this mean that the ROM is corrupted or what?

Thanks again for your help and advice.

This means that it's not currently emulated in pinmame, not that there's anything wrong with the rom.  Check VPM 3.6 to see if it has been added (I don't think so?), and if not let them know on GitHub or in the VPF thread.

It's a fairly recent addition to the PinMAME source code. There is a public beta which should support it:

 

https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases/download/v3.6-369-102e419/VPinMAME-sc-3.6-369-102e419-win-x86.zip

 

Copy contents to your VPinMAME folder. Run Setup.exe and Install.

It shows up in VPinMAME-sc-3.6-483. You just need to update your version of vpinmame it seems, as CarnyPriest and Wylte say.

Thank you, I tried the version of VpinMame 3.6 and the pinball machine doesn't give any errors.

Now I have to understand why despite having put the ROM in Italian the DMD continues to write and with audio in English. Thanks for the support and advice, you've been a huge help as always.
