It has been a long time since used and installed Visual Pinball/VPinMAME I didn't remember anything. I gave it a try to play my favorite pinball table again and these are the files you will need:
VPX62 Pinball Minimal.zip (from GitHub) VPinMAME33b_Minimal.zip (from GitHub) ID4 - Independence Day (SEGA)(1996)(Goldchicco)(2.0)[VPX06].zip (from archive dot org into Visual Pinball [VPXx] PinMame Tables folder) directx_Jun2010_redist.exe (if you miss d3dx9_43.dll) id4.zip (your typical and official MAME merged romset)
Here is a brief tech savvy walkthrough: - Extract "VPinMAME33b_Minimal.zip" content (i.e. C:\Emu\VPinMAME\). - Inside that path create a "roms" folder and copy your "id4.zip" file. - Execute "Setup.exe" (or "Setup64.exe" on 64-bit Windows) and press "Install" button, follow the steps then "Quit" button. - Extract "VPX62 Pinball Minimal.zip" content on a different path (i.e. C:\Emu\VPX\). - Inside that path extract "Independence Day (SEGA 1996) 2.0.vpx" into your "Tables" folder. - If you don't want to install directx_Jun2010_redist.exe just extract d3dx9_43.dll next to your "VPinballX.exe" executable (choose Jun2010_d3dx9_43_x86.cab or Jun2010_d3dx10_43_x64.cab accordingly). - Execute "VPinballX.exe". - You will be prompted to open a table, choose the table you just extracted. - If the table doesn't start, press F5 or select Table -> Play in the menu.
I'm saving this here in case I need help about this in another two or so years. :P
