Now check the default folder locations just to make sure the roms, config, tables, etc paths are all correct. I believe the main difference between the two DLL files is that the cabinet version remembers the DMD size and monitor designation. Now once you have sorted out which version you are installing click on Yes to proceed, the screen shot below shows me using the non cabinet version but the settings I will point out apply or work for both cabinet and non cabinet setups. If you are not installing the cabinet version of the VPinMAME.dll file it will show version 2.2 like this: Now in order tell if you did this properly when you run setup.exe and click on the Install button you will get a dialogue box that looks like this for the cabinet version, note the 3.00 version number: old and then extract or copy in the file from this link (same one as above, for those lazy to scroll up): You can make a backup of the file or else just rename the file extension from. If you aren't using Visual Pinball in a cabinet then you can proceed by running setup.exe or else you will need to replace the VPinMAME.dll with the cabinet version of this. Now the setup can go one of two ways depending on your phyiscal monitor setup and availability. Go to your Visual Pinball folder and look for setup.exe Now here is where the actual setup of VPinMAME actually starts. Then extract the file bally_6803_gts3_nvram.zip to the C:\Visual Pinball\nvram folder. Very important you do not extract to this folder and keep the file zipped. Then copy the file s3250u3.zip to the C:\Visual Pinball\samples folder. If this doesn't work then extract it to a temp folder and then copy and paste it to the folder manually. Now you have to install some fonts and this can be done in many ways and this may or may not work for you but I extracted the file vpfonts.zip into the C:\Windows\Fonts folder. Then extract the file VPVBS3_32.zip to the subfolder under your Visual Pinball folder called tables, so in this cause it would be C:\Visual Pinball\Tables as shown below. Then extract the file VPinball907.zip which contains the latest version of the Visual Pinball executable to the same folder. Going back to your list of files from the beginning, extract the file vpinmame_22.zip to where ever you installed Visual Pinball, in my case it is C:\Visual Pinball. Visual Pinball has been successfully installed and now onto installing VPinMAME. Up to you if you want to install for yourself or everyone. This is better if you are running Vista or Win7 cause anytime you make any changes, copy files or run anything from C:\Program Files, windows is constantly asking you are you sure and stuff like that unless you totally disable UAC which I don't recommend. Now for this step the default location is C:\Program Files\Visual Pinball but I installed mine right on the C root folder. Then just follow through the wizard and keep on hitting next as shown below: Next step was I extracted the vpsetup8_1_1.zip to a temp folder and then ran the installer by double clicking on the file VPSetup8.1.1.msi: Then for the VPinMAME cabinet DLL file I got it from here: I got almost all of them from this installation guide on the under the "Experts" section: I might have to split this into multiple posts as I have close to 60 detailed screen shots.so here we go!įirst you will need to grab these files shown above. I spent some time to create screen shots that hopefully someone new to this will find helpful and save them time by learning from my mistakes. I have my pinball project which I started a few weeks ago posted on the HS forums so I am going to post a copy of it here in case some of you don't make your way over there.
