What I do first Jay is download and SAVE the ROM zip ( as is , not unzipped ) into the ROMS yellow folder. You can get the ROMS from the IPBD link that is with the game and from AJ's site, you won't have any luck
with gottleib ROMS at the IPBD so try AJ's site or go to IR PINBALL , click the DOWNLOADS ball , see if the game you're after is in the different years sections or in the IRP TEAM link as all these Visual Pinball games do not need ROMS to play the tables.
Back to Pinball Nirvana games with ROMS , once I have saved the ROMS needed , then click the Title of the game for the download to start , then I click for the download to OPEN so with the PINBALL DIRECTORY open the GAME ZIP opens then I right click and drag the game.vpt into to the tables folder , MOVE HERE etc..... and same thing with the nvrams , MP3's
etc....but if you have the newest VIP they're all included so you need to just drag the game from the opened zip ( I prefer to do that than copy and paste ) Then click the VP.EXE ball , when the grey page opens click on FILE and then OPEN , then pick the tables folder , click on your game to highlight it , then TABLES - PLAY , and you're away :D
WIth some 3 ball games you can click on F6 and change a few specs around to your own liking , especially the 3 balls to 5 :) But some you can't
You may have already worked all this out by now as I haven't been online properly for a few days , if you haven't hope this helps ??? ...and if you have I hope you're having a ball LOL
I've now got over 5 gigs of tables saved here , and looking foreward to the next 5 , one day I might even learn how to make a table myself,
but atm I wouldn't even know where to begin or what program / software
needed etc....
Have fun , and keep asking if you're still stuck on something ...
Matt :D
