Lizard Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 I am using the use pinmame in frontend setting and while it is working it is not running the rom properly. If i run as an example the Junkyard rom jy_12 from pinmame test it runs properly but if i start pinballx when in attract mode the rom runs it starts flashing the message coin door open interlock disables playfield high power. Is there maybe a bug with the vpinmame launcher.exe in the pinballx directory as the rom runs fine in game and from the vpinmame test. Just as another test, in the vpinmame default game options for the junkyard rom if i un-tick skip pinball start up test, vpinmame test and starting a game from VPX will run the pinball start up test but when pinballx is in attract mode using pinmame in front end it seems to disregard that setting as if the launcher is not looking at the default game options when loading the rom. I have just put a pin2dmd in my cabinet and running the rom from pinballx looks a lot crisper than the videos are, any help would be appreciated.

tthurman Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 A suggestion I've read is to try hitting the "End" button to close the coin door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Yeah hitting the end button in game will open and close the door but doesn't work from pinballx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Yes the PinMAME support in the front end is not an exact science. Certain ROMs require PinballX to override these issues. I probably need to add support for roms not covered by this unless support is broken. Please give me any rom names with issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 Hi Tom, thanks it fixes it for me too. All the bally williams games are good now. There is a couple of Stern games i have come across which have similar issues. Monopoly, the dmd displays please close the door so balls can return. The Sopranos it displays looking for pinballs please wait, with a countdown timer. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I would need to know the dip switches to set in order to fix other games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted September 25, 2018 Author Share Posted September 25, 2018 No worries i will have a look this arvo and find the switches. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted September 26, 2018 Author Share Posted September 26, 2018 OK from what i can gather the stern tables dip switches only seem to be for setting the country code. What i have done is go into the service menu and find the active switches at rom start, I hope it is useful. I can't find a switch number for the coin door on these two. Monopoly switch 11,12,13,14,30,33,34,35,36 The Sopranos Switch 11,12,13,14 Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I was able to fix sopranos but unofrtunatly not monopoly. Monopoly is even already commented in my code that it is not supported. There are a few other stern tables that I am able to fix too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
