Anyone willing to help an absolute novice?

[Benner]

Hi all,

I have recently scored a vpin running off a pc. It has a couple of tables on it, and has visual pinball.

I have attempted to get tables from vpin universe and have plopped downloaded files into my tables file, but every table I try comes up with an error (I can usually see the table, I can get sound of adding tokens, but nothing else).

I have tried to use youtube and google but everything I read/see talks about stuff that I simply do not understand. Is there a guide out there for the absolute novice that knows nothing at all that takes you step by step in layman’s terms? Or, is anyone here willing to sacrifice their sanity and talk me through the potentially basic process that I am just not getting?

Many thanks in advance!

Ben

@Pick Holder? You're the vPin expert, I think?

Check out the following post - towards the bottom of the first page I asked a similar question and @Fantazia2 replied with a really quite comprehensive pdf setup guide. That might help

I do not do much these days on vpin on the building side - but pinballs are part of my living so any work I do is chargeable. So yes I can help but you will be getting a bill at the end of it I am afraid.

Thanks @Pick Holder. At least if I am getting a bill I wouldn’t feel as bad for being utterly clueless!

I’m going to have another crack and failing that (inevitably) I will shoot you a PM

Sounds like you also need to download the ROMs for the game and drop them in the folder with all the other ROMs. No access to a vpin anymore, but I do remember the pain of this particular problem when starting out.

Thanks for that, I think you could be right. I don’t want loads of tables, just more than the 1 fully working one that’s in place.

No probs

If you want me to shoot you across a HDD with a load of files that is no issue.
Including the rom files etc....
