      Here is a funny story about a Blackwater

       

      I bought one a few years back, the guy I bought it from said it irritated his wife and she had given an ultimatum to sell it before she got home from work, so I got it for nothing, took it home and plugged it in and the ball register button was not working at the start ramp, so it made a very loud and continuous motorbike engine revving sound that is supposed to turn off once the game starts, but it never did and this guy never knew that, so no wonder it drove his wife nuts, it never let up and what he also never realized was in the 4 years he had it the scoring never activated because the board didn’t know the game had started since it never got out of  initial  launch phase, it was a 15-minute fix and cost me nothing

        HAHA this is classic, welcome

        Virtual pinball is the blow-up doll of real pinball, and some of those blow-up dolls are fancy and as close to the real thing, I agree you are still in the cardboard cutout phase

        Download some really well-done tables here and take some notes, you can only get better at this

          Its a complete crap fest

          I wanted to see if everyone had a bloody heart attacked about Spike emulation and Sterns dark pact made behind closed e-mails with certain people or whatever you believe

          I am well aware this has never seen Spike anything, but I thought it might get a knee jerk reaction from someone

          hahaha

                run photo merge in Photoshop its under file, choose just auto re-align leave off remove vignette and geometric distortion

                Lightroom also does it

                its not difficult to stitch images and no talent is needed, retouching on the other hand can get complicated and is better with a wacom and some degree of illustration skill

                    The problem with the playfield is the hours it will take to dismantle and then rebuild a machine, however i have just done a deal for a blank one and will have it shipped up to me in the new year , which I will scan and then post up as soon as I can

                                these are normal bulbs underneath to get the right fade off

                                  https://www.dropbox.com/s/qmj4sdft5znwbsv/sw2.PNG?dl=0 the lights under the word Star Wars look like that with LEDS’s inserted which is wrong, I have normal old bulbs in mine, just under there and the fade off is softer, i can send you pictures if need be ?

                                      this piece goes underneath the green light sabre Luke, under most of the plastics, its purpose is to stop the ball going in the gap on the right of R2D2

                                          Dragon unpacker unpacked the last Pinball Arcade files, including the ps4 iso i downloaded, i didn’t get past that. The post above looks intresting

                                            Ok, so how do we hack out what we need now ? There must be an Xbox unpacker someplace. Years ago i messed around with the Lara XNA project where people took the 3D models out of games, they used unpackers to get models, sounds etc out.
