I just went through and did it for my old tables. It seems like all tables prior to 1991 were DMDless, so I did a filter and got a quick dump of ROM Names from the Visual Pinball Spreadsheet. Saved this to a csv and then wrote a quick PowerShell script (well partially adapted an existing one i wrote) to parse all the VPinMame Registry keys and alter the ShowPinDMD setting to 0 if it matches the list in the CSV. Let me know if you are keen and I can send you the csv and script.

 

sounds great, i'll PM you, thanks!

Game 3 VPGL VPX -Dracula (Stern) {closes Sept 24}

 

Ok.

So is everyone using freeplay roms?

 

I was using the normal rom , no extra balls, replay instead of points, etc.

 

853,020

So after that, I found @JustAnotherRat 's rom folder and switched to the draculfp rom.

 

This uses 100,000 points for special, xtra ball when you roll it.

Also, make sure you use computerised sounds. The other one sucks.

 

Anyway

Default rom

1,178,830

Was waiting for you to roll this @Dedrok :)

 

Since I got home from a week away i'm back to playing on the cab, and I get no sounds at all other than mechanicals that play through the tactile feedback speakers (exciters)

 

After all the extra ball hype, I have never got an extra ball :redface

 

I'm playing on the normal rom. What's the diff with the freeplay ? (other than freeplay of course)

I'm not using free play rom and although it's set (by default) to give an extra ball for high score it never gives it. I've not had an EB at all.

 

Maybe I should try the free play rom.

Ok. I'll go back to the normal rom.

 

Free play rom

Points for special =100000

Xtra ball for beating score which aren't set by the way. Only when rolled.

 

Normal rom

Special =Replay

Beat scores = Replay

Xtra ball on (never get)

 

Also, 5x is locked out until last ball.

Light 2x, slingshots alternate between 2x 5x.

What version?

Can you look in the script?

Default is freeplay. Credits always zero.

I'll check when I get a chance, but that's my naming convention :) got sick of trying to track table version, I really wish authors would put more in the start of the script.

 

Your description of features matches how mine plays.

Really struggling with this on the vpin! found it easier on the laptop when I was on hols. this score doesn't beat my previous desktop score, just wanted to get it up there.

 

shouldn't be getting any stutter on this running a 970 but i am getting it intermittently, but @JustAnotherRat if you're getting some microstutter, try setting your fps limiter to 0. It's at 1 by default, chaging to 0 on mine run it perfectly.

 

Also, i still can't get any rom sounds at all, anyone know why that might be ? Don't have issues with any other table for rom sounds.

Check your rom settings as some are running different.

I'm gonna reset my nvram to see what it is factory.

Could be that my "Dracula" rom had been set years ago to replay.

 

Can you post your new rom settings

Ok.

Moved my nvram and started fresh.

Both are the same factory.

100000 points for special

EBall in.

Etc.

I must have made it harder and set to replays years ago.

 

So my roll over score is correct.

I'm playing stock default rom, whatever that is - can't check till i'm in front of the PC again.

 

yesterday had a 392k first ball, but game over before I hit 500k :realmad: still no extra balls but i am starting to hit more collect hole at 5x. That sure helps!

What helps is targets down, light special for 100,000.

I notice that the inlane lites don't work but are lit.

So extra ball will lite and alternate same as special lites solid.

But not actually light.
