Grease: Pup-Pack Edition

---

Update for those using PinUp Player 2.0

If on a Pup Pack version older than v2.1, please update. 

 

If on v2.1, verify the usePuPDriver.ini in the PUPVideos\grease folder has the following:

Driver=PinUPDisplayX.exe

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Make sure to download both the newest Table and newest Pup Pack.

 

The PuP Pack uses the external DMD to trigger events, so make sure to press F1 and have "Use External DMD" checked in order for the table to work correctly.

 

Grease is the Word!  Finally, a Grease table with a fully integrated Pup-Pack.  I spent about 500 hours on this learning how to build a pup-pack and do an integration using pupscript_vbs.pup to have three music tracks that the table switches between depending on the type of mode you are in and which song should play for that mode.  Please read the included "Read Me First.txt" file for setup instructions.

 

SPECIAL THANKS TO VPW

The whole crew for guidance and direction.  Especially via their great VPW ROM Example table.

Kudos to apophis for inviting me in so the group could help me out and assistance throughout my upgrade.

DaRdog & Rawd for the VR room, cabinet, and more.

 

THANKS

Thanks go out to the usuals: 

• JPSalas (for the original table and help with some features)
• NailBuster (for PUP)
• Joe Picasso (for the 3Dmodels)
• marty02 for the original Grease table art

 

Thanks also go out to:

• Boroka (for his constant encouragement & assistance with coming up with the modes)
• justthebest (for his QA help)

If you enjoy this table, feel free to donate to me here: https://paypal.me/judremy

IMPORTANT

In VPinMAME, be sure you have the following:

In DMDDevice.ini:

[pinup]

; if enabled, send frames to PinUP.
enabled = true

 

In VPMAlias you should have a row that says:

grease,elvis

 

Download the Serum Colorization of Elvis which changes the DMD to Grease (by Boroka):

 

Some other things to mention about the music for the table:

The magna buttons change the song playing when in normal play mode. You can also engage a "jukebox mode" when a game isn't playing by using the same buttons.

 

You can add/replace the music that plays during normal play by adding files to this folder (no special naming required):

PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\grease\MusicBackground

 

You can replace the music in PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\grease\MusicModes (filenames must match):

the five main modes,

the Encore mode (spelled Grease),

the Graduation (wizard mode)

and more in this folder

 

FUN FACT:  The Grease song heard from spelling GREASE is the unused original opening song for the movie.

[Tedcomun]

hi thanks for the table, all work fine but impossible to launch the ball....

[slarson]

Hello,

 

The table works great and the pup pack loads fine and plays some of the callouts, but about half of them are sound only and the BG has a still picture from the movie.  I have followed all of the instructions with the exception of the PinupPlayerX15 required for player 2.0.  I have upgraded to 2.0 using the updater in the pinup config file but I don't seem to have that file (PinupPlayerX15)  I only have PinupPlayerX and PinupPlayerX2.  I tried them both and I can get some results with PinupPlayerX.

 

I have a full DMD and chose option 4 in the options.bat of the pupvideos folder.

 

Any help would be awesome!

Thanks

 

Update:  The latest update 2.1 fixed the problem.  I just had to change the ini file in the new pup folder to PinupDisplayX  from PinUpDisplayX15 and it works perfectly.  Thanks.

correction:  I meant PinUPDisplayX...  not PinUPPlayerX...

[fourbanks]

If that is 7-Zip, it is having a problem with the file for some reason.  Try winrar and see if that can extract it fine.
