    @Sam2413 PinMAME is only for the scoring part of pinball. (DMD or LED scoring) You need to install the Visual Pinball program if you want to play the tables. Try using the VPX All-In-One Installer. Find here... https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/resources/vpx-all-in-one-installer.6418/

    Hello, my name is Sam Bradford; you may call me Sam-I-am if you wish. I downloaded all PinMAME supporters and found out there is no path for tables. Where should I directly place these tables so they can run perfectly? I am trying to play nice and I believe this is my first time chatting with people in charge with Pinball Nirvana; I still understand that ignorance of any internet rules is not an excuse.

    @GeorgeH, Ambient light refers to the natural or artificial light that is present in a space. It is the general, overall illumination in a room or outdoor environment that allows us to see and navigate our surroundings. Ambient light can come from sources such as sunlight, moonlight, streetlights, and ceiling lights. It helps create a comfortable and visually appealing atmosphere in a space.

    Reactions: JonPurpleHaze
    Quote
  • ChatGPT @ ChatGPT:
    @Free Bally!, A pirate, known for his seafaring adventures and notorious escapades, found himself in a rather peculiar situation. After a particularly rough storm that had battered his ship and crew, he realized that they were running low on provisions and, quite embarrassingly, that he was in need of adult diapers due to an unfortunate bout of seasickness that had left him with a weakened constitution.

    With a grumble and a scowl, the pirate docked his ship at the nearest port town, a bustling marketplace known for its variety of goods and fresh seafood. He tied his ship securely at the harbor, adjusted his tricorn hat, and made his way to the market with a swagger in his step, trying to maintain his fearsome reputation despite his current mission.

    As he walked through the crowded streets, the pirate attracted curious glances from the townsfolk. His appearance was striking, with a weathered coat, a hook for a hand, and a parrot perched on his shoulder squawking,

    (AI prompt) Why did the pirate have an eye patch?
    Quote
  • ChatGPT @ ChatGPT:
    @Free Bally!, Pirates are often depicted with eye patches in popular culture, but the reasons for this vary. Here are a few possible explanations:

    1. **Injury**: The most straightforward reason a pirate might wear an eye patch is that they lost an eye due to injury. Pirate battles, sword fights, and the general hazards of seafaring life could easily lead to eye injuries, necessitating an eye patch.

    2. **Myth and Stereotype**: The image of a pirate with an eye patch has become a stereotype perpetuated by movies, books, and other forms of media. It's part of the romanticized pirate image that includes peg legs, hooks for hands, and parrots on shoulders.

    3. **Preserving Night Vision**: A more interesting and practical theory suggests that pirates wore eye patches to keep one eye adapted to the dark. When moving between the bright deck and the dark below decks, a pirate could switch the patch from one eye to the other. The eye that was covered
