After spending more time with the table,  I think the physics on this are the best of all VPX tables I’ve played.

It’s hard to catch the ball with the flippers.   The ball bounces off things on the lower PF like the lamp with gusto (sometimes straight into the drain!).     Yet the overall flipper strength isn’t so out of control – it’s just eno…[Read more]

As the game itself says, “Amaaaazing…”

Looks better than any real TOTAN I’ve played.    I love Flupper’s artistry with light and texture, it looks like it’s made of gold and glass instead of plastic.    Every little detail is so smooth and fluid, too.   Excellent work.

Sorry to see you go!    It’s been great working with you.   Having your Walking Dead LE and Mustang LE tables was the best “thanks” I could possibly get for the hours I put into making them work on the VPM end   I definitely understand how you feel, sometimes it’s just time to move on.

As for removing your old tables, it makes me sad.  As Wild…[Read more]

hoping it can be fixed retroactively for a non-beta release in the future.
I suspect the older VPX’s had buggy behavior.  If disable lighting is set to 1 then the playfield *should* be brighter.   I’m guessing the older VPX’s were ignoring this setting, if so that’s hard to make backwards compatible.   It’s one of the risks we accept when re…[Read more]

I’m not exactly sure what happened with this – I fixed that bug for Alessio ages ago, and he supposedly released that version.   Some people seem to have the update and others don’t.  Everyone I’ve given my version of the table to, has said it works, so I have no idea what happened.   And since MBPC is gone I can’t compare that table to mine.  I…[Read more]

What a beautiful table!   Awesome job, I love everything about it.  Looks, sounds, and plays great.

Great to have you back Herweh!

This table forced me to upgrade from my GTX960.  :)

Beautiful table and plays so well.  Great job @Knorr!

Not that I saw.  Up until this table I was pretty much always able to get tables working on my 960 at full 60fps.    Most of the tricks like disabling playfield reflections, setting things as static rendering, and shrinking flasher text…[Read more]

Switch 28 is already there.  It’s connected to Gate3 in the script.

Both 28 and 32 were going off at the same time, causing the game to think you missed.

Ah, I found it… sw32 is in the wrong place.  It’s supposed to be the right loop but it’s on surface 75h so it gets hit when the ball goes up the APE ramp.    Just change the surface of sw32 to none.

It seems to have something to do with gate3.   The APE rollovers work fine, but when you shoot for the skill shot, as soon as the ball passes through the gate, the game assumes you missed.

It could be a timing thing too – DE games are really really really fussy about switch sequences.     When I worked on Star Wars DE, there were so many weird qu…[Read more]

Now as for the hiked up inserts, this is due to the playfield primitive which is a new 10.6 feature.   I think the origin is incorrect so the PF is raised instead of being sunken below 0.   You can compensate by adjusting the Y value to -10 (which is really Z but it’s rotated).

Whirlwind’s overlay support is built into VPinmame, so the extra solenoids appear like normal solenoids there.   But I looked at the VPM source to see how Whirlwind was implemented.  Sound commands are simple 1-byte commands (0-255).    There’s some code for the Whirlwind case that checks if bits 6, 7, and 8 are all 0 (cmd AND &HE0 is equal 0),…[Read more]

It seems to work!   Check it out.   Replace the script with this one.

Thanks for the table 32A!

Interesting, the chasers in the back are run by something called the “sound overlay lamp assembly board”.

The name suggests it’s something that shares the sound board bus.   It probably means to support it correctly we’d need to add some support in vpinmame for that board.  Or maybe it could be done by hooking into t…[Read more]

I played again 3 balls in the same game (because of Extra Balls), and the only sounds I had were sound effects (rolling ball, etc). When the game was finished, I closed the table…[Read more]

What news are you wanting?That it’s getting closer to a 1.0 release?  :)

Awesome work! Love this series! I too get some small stutters during multiball and jackpot. Other than that, no problems. GREAT release

I’ve seen that once in a while and I’m on an RTX2080, so it should chew through anything. In the script we flash everything once at load to cache all the flasher stuff being used so it won…[Read more]

Thanks guys!

I don’t think this table is too hard, I would say it’s exactly like the real thing
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it’s important to keep in mind that real tables, especially of this vintage, all play differently, so different people may have different perspectives on what “the real thing” plays like.

I remember pla…[Read more]

Great to see you’ve come back, Herweh!    Thanks for the excellent table!
