jayfoxrox/vpinmame_spa

A relaxing spa day for your VPinMAME.. actually just a VPinMAME fork with support for Stern Pinball Arcade (SPA) emulation-DLLs.

Based on the original VPinMAME, their license and rules apply. Modifications for SPA done by DJRobX.

Based on the ideas presented in my proof-of-concept prototype.

---

This is my private fork for additional changes and improvements.

The interesting code can be found in src/wpc/sternpba.c

vpinmame_spa's Issues

Need 64-bit support

A big push recently has resulted in a large number of people migrating VPin tools to 64-bit, which is no longer compatible with this version. Any chance of this being updated for 64-bit?

Freeplay function is weird

• No arguments here:

  VPinMAME_SPA/src/wpc/sternpba.c

  Line 74 in a78c5f3

  int(*stern_set_free_play_fn)(void);

• No arguments here:

  VPinMAME_SPA/src/wpc/sternpba.c

  Line 382 in a78c5f3

  stern_set_free_play_fn = (int(*)(void))GetProcAddress(dll, "stern_set_free_play_fn");

• No arguments here:

  VPinMAME_SPA/src/wpc/sternpba.c

  Line 459 in a78c5f3

  stern_set_free_play_fn();

• 1 argument here:

  VPinMAME_SPA/src/wpc/sternpba.c

  Line 525 in a78c5f3

  stern_set_free_play_fn(1);

How does this even compile?!

Not able to load image.bin directly from REZ file

If we could load the image.bin we could enhance the usability a lot at the cost of having to keep a couple more MB of memory around.

This can be implemented by checksumming the REZ and then hardcoding the pointers for the image.bin.
Optionally the file-table or resource index could be parsed, however that would add a lot of complexity to the design.
