GNR Pinball Machine

[Slashisthebest]

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.

[Lady Livin]

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

[Slashisthebest]

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!!

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

[Beowulf]

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.

[Dust N Rose]

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

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

[Pandora]

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 !
