Here Today... Gone To Hell!

I finally found one. Played it.  Wasnt in great shape but was still tight as hell.  They have it at Kenmore Lanes in WA.  It was so sweet I walked in to the Video game part of a bowling alley the other day and saw it in the corner of my I, damn it was sweet.  I loved the pistol which launches the ball, HA!

Lucky. The only place I've seen it is Ebay. And if I had $2,000, I would have it in my living room.

Holy shit, I would have had a fucking conniption fit.

Next time i go there ill take pics and put them up but I swear to god I did play it no bull shit.

There used to be one in my local pub, it keeps repeating the names of the band members at that time on the top, i think matt is on it instead of steven

dunno when they were made

infact im gonna ask the landlord what happened to that cos they have a lame one now, hope he got a lot of money for it cos he mite be pissed off if i tell him its rare n worth a fortune!

I have one in my bedroom, and it's in great shape! I only paid like ? 1000 for it, but that was 5 years ago. There are some other members of this board that have the pinball machine.

I played it in Benidorm, Spain, in a a bar called HeartBraker. Right beside the pimbal machine there was a poster of Axl and a guitar sign by Slash.

That was a great bar.

i remember playing one when i was a kid and it was one of the things that got me into Guns N' Roses (i was about 13 - 14 at the time) i just remember thinking that the music was really cool!!

anyway, a few years back i told my mum that i'm never getting married - we made a deal so that if i do (which i will - ha ha!!) that she'll get me a GN'R pinball machine!! there's near enough always one for sale on ebay so i can't wait, just gotta give it 10 years or so!!

So....let me get this straight.... you're gonna get married, just so you can get a pinball machine? ;D

 :smoking: Izzy :smoking:

I've got one......on my PC!  There's an emulator out there with the GnR board set up....I must say, it's pretty cool. 

yes it is

Hardcore!!!
;)

um.. as is anyone who goes out and purchases one of these monsters  : ok:

Yep, I've got it too. It's a bit tricky to set up but when it finally works it's very cool  : ok:

Wow. I actually live like five minutes away from Kenmore Lanes. Never been to the arcade section though. I'll have to check that out sometime. Small world.

I guess that pinball machine was popular for the teenagers of 91-93 period.  :)

yeah, ha ha!! seriously thou, the pinball machine is what i want instead of a toaster as a wedding present!! whether my wife would understand is another thing altogther thou!


where did you get this from? i'd love to run it on my PC!!  : ok:

played it in Tempe AZ at some discount movie theaters. During the day, the theaters are pretty empty, I was thinkin about taking my truck down there w/4 friends to go grab itput it truck and take it home

I honestly don't remember....I do remember there was a thread on the subject back in January of '03 (from reviewing some PM's on the subject) and I went into detail about where to find it, and how to make it work.  But, given that was 2 years ago....I don't remember a bit of it.  I went back through my post history, and can't find the posts there, either (which may mean it was "purged" when the board switched over)....

Ah, I thought it was you who had made that tutorial. I think I saved it somewhere, I'll try to dig it up ;)

OK, I found it. I updated some of the links but Pilferk gets all the credits for the rest of the tutorial.

Here's what you need :

Visual Pinball
http://www.vpforums.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads
You'll need to register to the message board

PinMAME
http://pinmame.retrogames.com/downloads.html 
I have the version 1.30, but I guess a more recent one will work just as well.

VBS scripts (and that only):
http://www.arcadeathome.com/pinball.phtml?h

The game rom :
http://emu.makii.pl/vp/flipery.php3?nazwa=Guns%20N%20Roses
It might ask you for a login / password, but nevermind. Click on cancel.

1) Now, you've got everything you need. Here's what I did. I unzipped the Visual Pinball Zip file into a new folder, and ran the setup. This installs the program.

2)I then unzipped the PinMAME file into IT'S own seperate folder, and installed it. During the setup process, you'll get a screen with a WHOLE list of "paths" (you know, C:\Downloads\Pinmame\). You want to change the ROMS path to the Tables subfolder underneath the main Visual Pinball folder (wherever you chose to install that...for me, the path was C:\Program Files\Visual Pinball\Tables It will probably be similar if you use the default install for Visual Pinball in step 1).

3) Unzip the vbs script zip file into that same Tables Folder.

4) Unzip BOTH GnR Rom zip files into the SAME Tables Folder.

5) Create a new folder within the Tables Folder, called gnr_300.

6) Copy the following files from the Tables Folder INTO the GnR folder you just created:
G&ru17.snd
G&ru21.snd
G&ru36.snd
G&ru37.snd
G&ru7.snd
Gnrcpua.300
Gnrdispa.300

7) Within the GnR folder, rename all the G&ru**.snd files (where ** is the number) to Gnru**.snd. In other words, rename G&ru17.snd to Gnru17.snd, rename G&ru21.snd to Gnru21.snd, and so on.

All the work is done. Load up Visual Pinball (Start, Programs, Visual Pinball, Visual Pinball Beta). Click File and Open. You should see a list of 3 tables (Tutorial, Top Speed, and Guns n Roses). Click on Guns and Roses, and click open. That will load the table into "Construction Mode". Click the play button and you should be all set. The 2 shift keys are the flippers, the enter key is the ball shot, I think 5 is "insert coin" and I know 1 is the start button. 7 puts the board into diagnostic mode, but I can't figure out how to get out of that without quitting out of the board. Esc will pause and let you quit out (by selecting return to editor).


Have fun !  :beer:

sweet pandora!! think you could post the user/pass for that mesg board??

Hi,

I followed the posted instructions, but when I start to load the game with Visual Pinball Norton Antivirus gives me a "Malicious script detected" alert and says my computer is halted due to VPinball.exe.  So far I've only stopped the script as recommended by Norton.   What's going on and is it safe to continue?  Thanks to anyone that can explain this.  I'm dying to play the game but I don't want to risk a trojan.  :no:

The local amusement arcade used to have one of these GN'R Pinball Machines about 10 years ago, i played it afew times, it was pretty good, although not as playable as the Tommy Pinball Machine which seemed to do a lot more  :)

Got the same message from Norton the first time I ran it in XP and I just let it run the script.  I've had no problems.  That being said, my copies of the files are now something like 2 years old....so I can't vouch for the current versions being "clean"....though I rather suspect they're fine.

And Pandora, thanks for reposting my tutorial!! I didn't remember a lick of it!

There's no general user/pass, each individual has to register. It will only take you 30 sec ;)

Dude go check it out.  Its tight.  I go to inglemoor hs btw.

Thanks pilferk, everything's working fine now.  Hard pinball game though!

Thank you very much.  Just curious, how did you run across this and are the graphics and audio good?

Slashisthebest

I didn't find it, FYI....just figured out how to make it work (and Pandora kindly reposted/updated my old tutorial).  If I remember correctly, another poster found the board and couldn't make it work (and I have no memory of who that was).  I figured out HOW to get it to work, with some research and futzing, and posted the tutorial back in January of '03. 

The audio is, from what I can tell, direct digitization of the actual board audio, probably taken from a board ROM.  The graphics are pretty good, too.  My only complaint is, sometimes, the ball gets "stuck"....

here is the link .? pretty cool

I've always wanted to try PinMAME - now I have a reason to.

Thanks.

Pinball sucks :P

GNR Pinball.. well still sucks, but sucks a little less :hihi:

Seriously though, thanks for the link.. i'll probably check it out : ok:

SWEET! Thanks, I have always wanted the real thing, but just cant afford to throw down a couple grand on one. So I'll just use the next best thing. Thanks man! Mame is the shit~

looks cool so far, but how do you get the flippers  to work!  I've hit every key on my keyboard!!!

Default is Left Shift=Left Flipper and Right Shift=Right Flipper

I got the original pinball machine : ok:

^

that's awesome, I use to play that pinball machine all of 94-95 with my old concert t shirts on :hihi: I must have looked cool :rofl:

I have  apic playing I need a fucking scanner..

RIOOOOT

This program is pretty cool, thanks for the link!

 :peace: :peace: :peace:
thank-you


awesome
 :smoking: :beer: :beer: :beer:

Thats a really fun pinball machine actually. Good use of the license. Something rare in merchandising nowdays.

Thanks so much. Wow, it's been a long time since I last played pinball.

I've just downloaded it and I can't get manage to execute the game. What do I do?  ???

Thats awesome! Thanks heaps for the links.? : ok: I have not seen one of these (the real thing) for a few years.

If you downloaded, extracted and successfully installed the files you should have a folder on your C: drive named "pinballpack" open that folder and doubleclick on "VPLauncher.exe" to start the program (you may also want to make a shortcut to your desktop for this item).
Once you have launched the program you should have a screen with a list of available tables on the left, double click on the "GUNS N' ROSES" file to launch it.

That's the thing, there isn't a .exe file. All files are non executable with weird extensions.  ::)

You sure you downloaded the pinballwim as well, and not just the GN'R table for it?

Haven't tried it myself, but it'd seem that you need both.

erh I've downloaded pinballpack and installed it after that i've downloaded the guns table, what do I do now?

Yes you need both. I had to download the pinballpack.zip from emule because when I tried to download it from the web page it kept finishing about have way through( if using emule make sure you get the one that is 18.54MB )

Extract the Guns table to your C: drive(same as pinballpack). Then launch VPLauncher.exe from the folder C:pinballpack and the Guns table should be in the left hand column.

Thanks guys!  ;) I'm playing it now.

ahh screw this it won't work, all I get is "No table found"

LOL!

I love how this subject comes up every couple of years. :)

I've been playing the board (and even posted, way back when, a tutorial on how to get it to work) for about 4 years now.  It's a great 'quickie" game that I keep on my desktop at all times.

thats what im getting

You have to have the pinball program installed in C:\ (followed by the default directory that the setup creates)only.. You cant have it in program files or your D:\ if you have one or anything else, just simply in the C:\.

Also, you might have to go to configuration and add the guns n roses machine directory to the list.

yeah thats working now thanks, i had my hard drive partioned for games, media etc, strange it doesnt work anywere but C:\

Yea I know - that bit got me. I also fucked up because I realised that after installing it and simply moved the directory to the C:\. I realised later that you have to reinstall the whole thing.

Bit of a bitch to get working but once it does its good fun!

There was a thread about it last year, with Pilferk's tutorial :
http://www.heretodaygonetohell.com/board/index.php?topic=18835.0

I didn't check whether the links were still valid, though.

I got the original and lt's signed by Slash! great game!

First off, I'm not sure if this is the right section to post this so mods, feel free to move it.

You can download and play the real GNR pinball online by going to http://www.pinballsim.com/viewtables.php?sortby=lastupdated

Get the download info for the program at http://www.pinballsim.com/

I could get the game to load but I couldn't get it to play.  If anyone here can get the game to play please post here on how you did it.  This looks pretty cool though.

Oh hell yes. Always thought it would be cool one day buying the GNR pinball. IT would be pimp. Hope this work for us cool ass MaC motherfuckers.

Thank you very much.  :beer:

You have to press 5 to insert coins and get credits. After that you push start by pressing 1. Enter to shoot the ball and shift right and left for the flippers.

i'd like to have an actual gnr pinball machine.

WOW!!! its pinball yet at the same time...its gnr......ITS THE PERFECT MATCH!!!!!

Is there any updated links for this???

THE FREAKING LINKS REDIRECTS ME TO ANOTHER SITE!!!!

yeah shit redirects me too, any more links, please!

Strange thought....it seems if I wanted to download the pinball table for GNR I would need to download this thing called Zango ???

Anybody have any idea what the heck is Zango?

It's redirecting me too!
Like I'm interested in avatarmagic.com ::) >:(

ME TOO :rant:

zango is bullshit, its some dumb shit that installs on your computer, i wouldnt download it, its not spyware but close enough, i sure hope there is new links soon though

I've got the pinball machine, but it will be nice to play this one while at work.

Anybody help us out, little update mabye?  :peace:

Well i found this but cant get it to work.. If anyone does, fill me in!  ;D
There is also GNR tetris!!!!


http://smiley.tzo.com/pinball/games/

I have no idea how to get that thing on my comp...anybody help?

Anyone ever played this?

http://www.thepinballcompany.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=86

I would LOVE to get it in my garage to play.  I played it about 10 or 11 years ago and its AWESOME!!

yeah, its great. ive had in since 1997...a lot of fun...

"Wake up! Time to play!"

Any idea where I could come across the GNR Tetris?

Pinmame is a pretty cool program - you can actually play just about any modern pinball machine game on pinmame - you think of the game and it's usually on there.

I've got the GN'R pin at home and it rocks!!!  Everyone that comes round for a few beers and to watch the footy end up spending most of their time playing that!

Pandora - I didn't know you had a GN'R pin as well, why no pics of it on your website?  BTW if you ever need a replacement Axl or Starburst plastic I have these.

Just downloaded and installed Pinball. Great game, for like 30 mins ~ got bored easily, but thats probably cos i suck at pinball  :rofl:

No word on where to download either the pinball or Tetris?
