Norkusa Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) I just want to ask the people that are having troubles with CoinOPS 2nd quarter not booting if they understand this is a patch and NOT a full install. You dont delete your old version of CoinOPS. You install this on top of your old version. Maybe this could be a problem some of you are having. Yes, I understand it's not a full install. I'm just replacing the contents of the UDATA/TDATA save folders and the rest of the contents of the 2nd Quarter folder (with the exception of the empty folders). I'm going to reinstall CoinOPS and try again and start over from there. Maybe I missed something the first time I tried installing 2nd Quarter but I don't think I did.

Browse to your Coinops install folder and check for a 'debug.log'. If it's there then it should tell you what is wrong/missing. Yes, I would run Coinops v1 at least once first, then patch, but that shouldn't be the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norkusa Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Here's my debug log. Guess it has something to do with the 'media' folder. Should a reinstall of the original one from CoinOPS fix it? : <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr! <ERR FontSet.h [000043] CFontSet::Create > Failed loading font Media/FranklinGothicMedium_14.xpr!

BritneysPAIRS Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 sure you deleted the old one (media folder) not overwrote it..... load the coinops one back on then over wirte it with the 2nd quarter one. Also if you deleted other folders you would lose cheats etc as they 2 are missing and some other stuff.... dont delete any of the coinops files before the patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly what I done last night. Transfer the fonts over from the 'media' folder of the original Coinops, not the patch, then it will boot fine. As BP said, make sure you are just overwriting the old Coinops with the patch, do not remove anything from the original Coinops. Then after all that you can apply the patch-fix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I replaced the old CoinOPS Media folder with the one in 2nd Quarter because I saw that 'help.txt' file in there and must have thought it was some kind of config file. Put the old one in there and it works great now. BTW, thanks for the Toobin' control fix. Plays so much better now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritneysPAIRS Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 you want the samples and cheats as well if you removed the genral etc folders . I would copy all folders except for Screenshots and Roms from coinops. Then overwrite with the patch and then with the fix for the patch. Then reput on the saves. Then scan for games if you added any. Then it will be 100perecent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
