Sorry about that. I could have sworn that Empire had links on their
website somewhere about 1-1/2 yrs ago. You may want to contact them
directly, and see if they still support the series.

Which one? I have the last patch made available for Timeshock, and as for
getting it to work in XP there's just a setting that needs to be changed.

Daniel,

I just e-mailed you the files. I can send it to anyone else that needs
it. You just put these patches in your appropriate folders, and run the
programs in "Windows 98/Me" compatibility mode.

Thanks,
Mark

This is what I get for doing this stuff when I'm tired. I will send the
patch to ][nterFr@ instead! Sorry, Daniel! Spidey needs some rest.

e-mail.

The link in that thread is dead. And a search on yahoo groups turned up
nothing?
Any other places?

No worries... think the one you sent is newer than I have at any rate!

I'm going to put these up on my webspace when I get home this evening. It
seems the Pro Pinball games are being supported less and less. (Hardly
surprising I suppose as the series is coming up to 10 years old).

Thanks so much for posting these ... once again, I hope to get our 2
copies of BRUSA to link at home. Haven't been able to play that yet.

Question: Is the Empire server required to do this? Any other working
tips?

Question: My friend bought the bulk pack from Interplay a while back
and I noticed that the first one "the Web"<?> had no music tracks.
(which I thought were very good) So I copied my original and he now
can play with the music. Anyone know why this was the case?

Music on those is old-fashioned CD audio tracks, and I don't think it works
well with the current digital playback style of Windows XP either. So you'll
likely need to have an analog CD audio cable hooked up from the back of your
CD/DVD drive to your sound card (something that's been almost completely
dropped lately).

Or at least check your audio playback levels in the Windows sound mixer...

It's a while since I played it but if I remember rightly, it doesn't have a
local link option and does need the Empire server (which they have switched
off due to lack of interest). Don't forget to badger them by email!

I'm not familiar with that pack, but it sounds like they didn't include the
audio tracks on the CD. The Web and Timeshock! played audio from the CD.
The later games installed it to the hard drive.

I was wrong about this. You can link up PCs if you know the IP addresses.
It uses Microsoft Direct Play. By all accounts it's a bit tricky to set up
and doesn't always work.

][nterFr@

I installed Pro Pinball CD for Win95 + Win98 on XP by compatibility assistent: Timeshock! + BigRaceUSA.
On VISTA I also installed Fantastic Journey.
Only The Web is still missing, and it is not listed in Windows Compatibility table for Windows 98, 2000, XP, Vista at support.empireinteractive.com.
There are also a few FAQs regarding to "Unable to run loader" or "the web cd is missing".
I will try their work-around to reset the registry entries.
