Unfortunately, about a day after I made that last post, the site went down again.

Things appear to be working now, so keep your fingers crossed.


Just for future reference:


When the site goes down I do NOT have access to the files! Please don't email me asking for files when this happens! I didn't reply to any of those emails, because there were enough to where that would have taken up all of my free time and that's no fun for me. When the site is down, visit byoac. I made an announcment over there explaining the situation.

Anyway, I'll have some new apps to add soon, so check back!

For anyone who had trouble downloading things in the past week or so I apologize. It was an unforseen result of BYOAC moving to a new server. I think everything is in working order again but if you have any issues please let me know.

Big thanks to SirWoogie for getting everything working again. He always handles all the byoac server stuff and the rest of us don't have to do squat. You should all shower him with reches and womenz and such.


Anyway, I have an app on the way so stay tuned for further updates!

I had nothing to do with this, but the supermodel guys have added support for mame-style outputs and thus the supermodel emulator is now supported by mamehooker!

Supermodel is a great model 3 emu that supports such modern notions as force-feedback.

ATM supermodel's official homepage is a little flaky, but you can get a pre-compiled version of the SVN build of supermodel at emuCR:

Keep in mind that it's a SVN verison, which is the equivelent of MAME's "u" versions, so there may be glitches.

SteveG brought it to my attention that version 6.0 of the wrapper sometimes errors out when you try to enter the in-game menu. This version fixes the issue. There aren't any new features or anything but you MUST download the newest version for full operation.

Again, download from the wrappers section in the Misc Downloads to the right or from the link below. Enjoy!

***EDIT***

Well crap, the EXE didn't compile so that's still the old one. I fixed the zip so it should be correct now. Please download again!

This one is a long time coming. The new vp wrapper allows you to do all of the translucency effects from the old 3.0 wrapper and much more. If nothing else it launches and exits vp very cleanly, so you should check it out.

Note that this wrapper requires some setup. PLEASE read the included readme before using.


You'll find the new wrapper in the "wrappers" section to the right.

Enjoy!


Note that I'm on a win 7 system now. There might be some issues running this thing on XP, it's untested atm.


*Update*

I neglected to mention that the in game menu requires a font to be installed on your system.
It's the Williams Pinball font. If you are a vp fan, you should have this font installed anyway because it is necessary for many vp tables. You'll find it inside the font pack available at vpforums.org
