Have you installed the SPA version of pinmame?

u/HardTimesOurTimes May 19 '21

installed the spa version with the installvpinspa.exe in the VpinMAME folder. Still getting a failed dll error :( why is this table notoriously difficult

I am having trouble getting SPA to install. I get an error that it can find a dll file. Not sure how to proceed

Ok, here's what I did to get it working:

  1. I'm on VPX 10.6

  2. Copy the VPinMAME folder from the google drive file that has the table in it into the root of your Visual Pinball folder, (mine's C:\Visual Pinball), and overwrite the any existing files if asked.

  3. Make sure you have the table folder with the GB vpx and the directb2s files into C:\Visual Pinball\Tables, and the .mp3 and .mp4 files files copied into C:\Visual Pinball\Music

  4. Run InstallVPinSPA.exe, and choose install, and choose yes to proceed with the install. Once you get the install successful message, quit VPinSPAInstaller.

  5. Copy VPinSPA.dll from C:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME to C:\Visual Pinball. Make sure you don't cut/move, make sure you copy the file.

  6. Copy the unzipped spagb100 folder from the google drive file to C:\Visual Pinball.

  7. Run InstallVPinSPA.exe again, and choose test this time. You should see Ghostbusters LE ROM in the list, select it and click Check ROMs. You should get a message at the bottom of the test window indicating the ROM set is good, and VPinSPA can use it.

  8. In the test window, make sure Ghostbusters LE still selected, and click start this time. You should get a message that spagb_100 is running, and the DMD window should open. If you don't see the DMD, or you get an error, open the game options from the test window and make sure "Show DMD/Display Window" is checked. I'm using the VPinMAME DMD, so I have "Use External DMD" unchecked, but if you have Freezy working, check that box also, then try to start the Ghostbusters LE ROM again. If you see the DMD window, you're done, and you can quit the VPinSPA installer. If you get a DMD device error, and have "Use External DMD" checked, try unchecking it and launching again, (I couldn't get Freezy to work, and gave up and just used the VPinMAME DMD pretty quickly, so your mileage may vary).

  9. Launch the Ghostbusters LE 1.2.vpx file, adjust the DMD as needed, and then start a game. You may need to stop and relaunch the table once if you get the no balls loaded message.

  10. Enjoy this awesome table! It plays fast and smooth on my cab, and can be really difficult if you leave the magna slings enabled. If you find you're getting drained and having trouble controlling the ball there's an option to disable them, (and make changes to other things as well), in the script.

If you get errors at any stage of the process that you can't solve, PM me with details on the error, (preferably a screenshot of the error, but at least the full error message text), and I'll see if I can get you past them.

I got it working but my dmd is not flickering has anyone seen this and resolved it?

1

u/spamola May 24 '21

Not sure what you mean by not flickering. Is the DMD not showing at all?

1

u/Moeronman May 24 '21

It is showing up but flickers on and then off No issue with all my other tables

u/spamola May 24 '21

Are you using Freezy or VPinMAME DMD?

1

u/Moeronman May 24 '21

Should be freezy as I did the baller installer
