An even more spectacular looking and sounding table! Thanks VPW team.

One small suggestion: It kinda looks odd having two right-hands for both of those yellow inner ramps. What if you flipped Spidey’s hand, for the left-ramp to make it a left-hand instead?

Keep up the amazing work on making great tables even better!

What a classic. Keep them coming!!

Such a fun backglass. Thanks for the upgrade!

Absolutely gorgeous table and a fantastic job of putting it together. So sharp and realistic looking. I wish all EMs were given this treatment and attention to detail. What a feast for the eyes! Fantastic work!

Another vote for Space Mission! I had the opportunity to play it with my 6-year old at a pinball expo a couple years back and had a lot of fun. It stuck in my mind ever since and was also part of the reason why I embarked on this hobby — to explore other classic EMs. Would love to see a polished version from someone who can bring it to life!

Finally got it to work! For whatever reason, I got the vikingb file from another site and it worked for me. It was 8kb in size, where the other ones were only 1kb, so maybe it wasn’t downloading properly for me or I was doing something wrong. Anyway I’ll go with it, and I’ve attached the file here in case anyone runs into the same issue.

Now time…[Read more]

Thanks for the reply Thalamus. I tried deleting the vikingb registry, re-downloading the vikingb.nv, vpx and b2s files. I didn’t know what “crc check” is, so I doubt I’ve touched that at all. Anyway, still same situation unfortunately. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong somewhere. I’m not too fussed over it — it bugs me more that I can figure out…[Read more]

Sorry for this total nuub question: I can’t start a ball on the table. I hear coins dropping and I can pull the plunger, just no ball or flipper response. vikingb is in my ROMS folder. Bumpers and slingshots are responding to test balls. What am I doing wrong? (Playing on a single screen PC for now). Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Can’t…[Read more]

@iwantchipz  So any updates yet? How are things running with your set up? I’m curious to know what kinds of frame rates you’re getting with VPX with the 1440, and how things are looking and feeling overall.

I dont even have VPX or a computer that can run it yet, but seeing this type of work and enthusiasm to contribute to the community really makes me want to get something started soon! Very excited to get up and running, and have these kinds of exciting visuals up on a screen. Just have to cobble together some funds. Thanks for the dedication and…[Read more]

I’m glad there’s a thread on this topic because I was also finding a lack of info on 1440p 144hz for VPX. I wanted to know if it would be a viable solution for getting a better resolution on a larger (27 to 32″) screen, while having super smooth framerate — and then what sort of CPU and GPU would support it?

Is 1440p 144Hz worth the difference…[Read more]
