| Error/Issue | Solution(s) | | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | ROM not found / Path error | 1. : The cGameName variable in the table script must match the name of your zip file exactly (e.g., Const cGameName = "mtl_180h" ). 2. Incorrect filename within zip : The .bin file inside the zip must have the exact filename VPinMAME expects (e.g., mtl180h.bin , not MTL180.BIN or mtl180h.bin.txt ). 3. Case sensitivity : Ensure filenames are correct, as some systems may be case-sensitive. | | Line 93 error: "Gamename not found" | This error indicates the cGameName variable in the script doesn't match any ROM zip in the PinMAME\roms folder. Update Const cGameName = "mtl_180h" at the top of the table script. | | Color patch not working | 1.

Ensure you have the correct build installed. | | PUP pack not working / No audio or video | 1. Game name alias : Add the appropriate alias to your VPMAlias.txt file. 2. Script changes : Ensure the table script has the correct cGameName . 3. PUP pack installation : Double-check that the PUP pack files are correctly installed in the PUPVideos folder and that the PinUpPlayer.exe is correctly configured. |
