Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted January 1, 2021 Content Provider Share Posted January 1, 2021 Get the official and final release for version 3.4 cycle at VPForums! http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27063&page=1 The package includes the latest external DMD dlls if there has been a recent update. Or else find the external DMD dlls with the beta thread for the official VPinMAME build here: http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27063&page=1 OR at lucky1's GitHub repository for Pin2DMD here: https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/integration/pinmame OR freezy's dmddevice.dll which provides full color DMD support for virtual DMD as well as hardware DMD (i.e., LED panels): https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/releases Copy the files into your VPM directory, and run setup.exe again. There, press the install button (with each new build) and remember to setup the defaults again! In case you have an external DMD connected that you want to use with VPM, please move the dlls from the respective subdirectory (Pin2DMD or PinDMD1 or PinDMD2 or PinDMD3) directly into your VPM directory!

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted January 1, 2021 Author Content Provider Share Posted January 1, 2021 Official rev r5270 Fix regression in solenoid emulation for Juegos Populares SAMBuild_r5270.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted January 2, 2021 Author Content Provider Share Posted January 2, 2021 SAMBuild33b is the same as SAMBuild_r5270 except that the version numbers are reverted back to 3.3. Don't have to install it if you already have installed r5270. They are functionally the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider antisect Posted March 6, 2021 Content Provider Share Posted March 6, 2021 not sure if this is the right place to ask but.... i'm currently doing a new build of Pistol Poker (Alvin G) and their seems to be a problem with the flasher emulation. The problem is mentioned on the old vp9 version of this table (from 2015) so it seems to have been an issue for quite some time. Everything works fine apart from the flashers, they just never trigger while playing the game but strangely work when testing the flashers with the tables DMD menu. When the table first boots the dmd display states "flasher bulb problem" maybe this is the issue that stop the flashers from operating during gameplay. here's a screengrab of progress so far (plus the error message in the dmd)https://www.antinet.co.uk/pp2.png Like i said I'm not sure if this is the place to ask. thanks for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted March 19, 2021 Author Content Provider Share Posted March 19, 2021 Official source has been relocated here: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame The latest beta pre-release includes the -sc variants which toggle on support for the S.A.M. full colored DMD patches. Find them here: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases/tag/v3.4-34b35a99 Players will want "VPinMAME-sc-win-x86.zip" Note: For me, the Test button with the included Setup.exe crashes the install app. You can still use the setup.exe from the 0.33b release version to get the Test dialog if needed. Users can get "PinMAME-sc-win-x64.zip" for ROM auditing. Need to get up to date on real DMD drivers? They can be found here: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/tree/master/ext/dmddevice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted March 24, 2021 Author Content Provider Share Posted March 24, 2021 Here's a new link. Look for the -sc variants under the latest pre-release on this page: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbcrew Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 is that a link to new sambuilds? i dont understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Yes. It is, if you look at that link you are probably wanting the file named "VPinMAME-sc-3.4-163-b49f37a-win-x86.zip" Sc - because it has the extra color code, which is different from the official, kind of. At least, you can say, it has a added flag that makes it different from the one that don't. x86 is 32bit, that is what we are used to get from Carny. VPinMame - contains the dll file that you place into vpinamame folder - overwriting the one you've got.

Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted May 8, 2021 Author Content Provider Share Posted May 8, 2021 There is a new pre-release version at the official repository site.

yeahimdukenukem Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Hi, I have two questions as well: 1. You are always referring to x86. Is the x64 not working properly? 2. Could someone please explain the difference between PinMAME, PinMAME32 and VPinMAME? Many thanks in advance, Duke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 x64 is working, with some limitation. The so called at91jit, is not. That is essential currently I'm told for the modern Stern tables. VPinMame is what you would normally update with just the dll - the other ones do slightly different things. I don't remember now exactly, but, to generate a new games xml pr. example, I refer to one of those in clrmame pro. It isn't dangerous to start those manually. So, why not try and see what happens. Believe the pinmame is just the cmd line version and the other is some gui thing. LONG time since I started those myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 If I use the latest VPinMAME34_beta from here - https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27063&page=1 and use a SAMBuild When I run setup and click on TEST VPinMAME closes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Yes. I've mentioned that in the "official pinmame" thread. I thought it was related to Win7, since Wiesshund didn't seem to have the same problem. Yesterday I updated again and setup.exe crashes. Some releases back, I was told that you need to run setup.exe and press the uninstall. Then install again. Maybe that helps for you ? Don't tell it to clean up the registry though ! Only let it unregister and re-register. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalamus Posted July 16, 2021 Share Posted July 16, 2021 Believe it would be beneficial that you post that to the beta pinmame thread so the issue gets more attention. Being one guy having this issue isn't enough for them to believe it is a real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thalamus Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 @outhere - @Rysr : Updated info at the offical pinmame thread. Pretty sure setup.exe won't work on older OS'es. Win7 and Win8 seems to me is broken. I'm not having this issue on Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I'm also using windows 10 on two different computers with the same problem but when I have time I'll try more things How are you in bedding the names in the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Bedding the names ... start editing with a @ and give it time to to search - maybe you need to clear out your cache and cookies ? Sometime I do get weird happening here. Most often, want to reply to something and I'm only allowed to attach a picture Oh. That is weird, I don't know if you read the pinmame thread ? With the newer version. You should first, unregister, then re-register. I don't know the details, but at some point after 3.3 that is needed. I've done it since I was told, but, I'm still not able to use newer vpinmame.dll's without test crashing. I thought you said you where fine on your end. And, well, I had no issues on my crappy M$ spying on me Win10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 OK thanks I will give it time to search using windows 10 - 2 computer same thing I thought I was OK but I was not Yes after I install 3.4 from the forums I unregister and re register after I add the Sambulidl I unregister and re register, when I clink on test it just closes (Plus I've tried other combinations) But the best I can tell if you download the SC version from the github that has all the color roms in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
