If you never had it then you must be on an older version of vpx 10.8. Current beta is 1622. This was news to me, but with some googling I found the 1622 release and tested it out just now. Same results - first few minutes are flawless, then it gets progressively worse. After 15 min the avg fps drops from a steady 120 to around 110-115, and if I leave it running for 30-40 minutes it's down below 50fps. Do you have any recommendation as to where I can check to see what's going on here? One thing I noticed is in my VPINMAME folder there is a PUPLOG.txt file which is updated whenever I play this table, and below is what it shows.

toady Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 So I’m trying to get in to vr and I love the new SpongeBob table. How do I turn the vr room on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blakel30 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Maybe this has already been addressed but I can't find the setting in the code. Is there any way I can disable multiplayer? I somehow have my nudging joystick tied to adding players but it's weirdly sensitive with this game. I just want to play single player. Absolutely PHENOMAL otherwise though. You guys seriously continuously set the standard for virtual pinball. This one might be the most realistic yet and it isn't even a real machine!!

Anartzy Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The dmd doesn't appear anywhere. What am I doing wrong? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 The SpongebobDMD folder needs to reside in the tables folder or in whatever folder the spongebob vpx is located if using separate folders for each table (as I do) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakurarozu Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 My qr code is still reading as guardians after update. How do I fix it ? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreaddazzman Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I'm having an issue with the sounds, which I suspect is exclusive to me, but figured I'd ask anyway... For some reason, sounds that should be triggered through the backglass are still coming through my table speakers (e.g. the intro song). I have two speakers in my backglass and 2 speakers + bass shaker in my cab. I've messed around with the Sound and Audio options and I can't find anything that resolves the problem. I've had this issue on one other table Scooby Doo, which I've also been unable to resolve, but all other tables on my setup correctly route the sound between backglass and table. If anyone has any thoughts on how to resolve, I'd be eternally grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enathanson Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 In case this hasn't been reported yet - I had a very long game where I got wizard mode twice, but the second time there was no multiball. Even so, what a blast! Figured I'd report here in case it's a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RusteP Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) Installed Spongebob Bikini Bottom the other day. Everything seems to be fine except flippers do not move. They hit the ball but are stationery on playfield. Any help would be appreciated. This the first table I have installed so very new to Virtual pinball. Installed the newest Baller Installer November version. Flippers work fine with The Leprechaun King table.

Sounds like you're launching the table with 10.7.4 and not the 10.8 beta. I haven't looked at how the new Baller sets everything up, but you'll probably need to set 10.8 as an alternate emulator to launch SpongeBob.

RusteP Posted November 22, 2023 Share Posted November 22, 2023 (edited) @Wylte That worked, thank you so much. I have new problem now. After upgrade to 10.8 table works but now shows rotated 90 degrees. Displays like it is a full cabinet in Spongebob's pineapple instead off just the playfield, disregard, I figured it out but thank you again for your support earlier.

GrantTessDexterTheaLuna23 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Hey guys, Have an issue I can't quite put my finger on as its never happened before. I upgraded to 10.8. beta 7 opened the table and now my playfield isn't displaying. Also tested Johnny Mnemonic and same issue. 10.7 4 64 bit displays fine, but I can't play on that, I've also tried 10.8 beta 5 as well. no dice on the playfield. Since I only upgraded to play your awesome tables, I was hoping you might have an idea of what's happening and why I'm an idiot for not noticing. Thanks, G.

Anacros Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Cant get the QR code to show on the backglass on 2nd screen, I have Dim ScorbitActive : ScorbitActive = 1 I had no issues with Darkest Dungeon or Aerosmith QR but Spongebob QR isn't showing Edited January 22 by Anacros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you figure it out? EDIT: You need to install Blood Machines to get the required exe files for it to work. In Spongebob, turn on Scorbit by using Magnasave menu.
