El Dorado City of Gold VPX Mod

Yes it is. I may see if I can match it up with borgdog’s Targe Alpha just to maybe get Item placements correct. They are sister tables. Not sure how much work that will take but will see.

Loading this one messed up my sound on a prev ver of this talbe and the EM Eldorado. Im lost on how to make them sound again.

Good looking table and plays nice, but like many others, the only sounds I get are the mechanical ones and no ROM sounds.  Is there an updated ROM that should go with this?  Otherwise, any ideas?  I have already tried F1 and reset.  Sound settings are all correct and all other tables installed work fine.  Any help greatly appreciated.

I’ll share this for a short period. It has the “old” version of the table (ignore it), but, also the other files needed.

New version coming soon. All playfield elements have been matched with one of it’s sister tables and are in the correct positions. Plastic images have been updated just a bit and playfield has been modified to match the correct position of the playfield elements. The playfield image is still not great but it works. Still by no means is this table easy to play – It’s a BIT**… :)

Be sure to hit F1 when the table is up and enable use sounds and use samples.  I had to do that with the drop box update.

Someone has the manual and can only send me the dipswich part, so I can add coin chute controls in the dipswitch menu ?

Thank you

For the people who wants to have coin chutes in the F6 menu :

Here’s the modified script (just copy from zip file and overwrite the function in the script of the table)
OR .. The authors can add it to the next release (if there will be a next release

Thankss JBG,

Really glad to see this one get some love. I think I remember playing years ago and I have always liked this PF layout.

One thing I have always noticed is that the the scaling of the original PF image does not appear to be the correct length/width. You can tell this by looking at the inserts. I will bet someone could photoshop the current PF image and overlay it on El Dorado or Target Alpha (assuming they are to scale), align it with the  inserts and other physical locators and provide you a true to scale image to work with.  This will likely make the gameplay more accurate as well.

 

Thanks again for giving it some attention. :)

Yep, That is what I did. Took borgs target alpha and move all VPX elements to match. Copied some of them straight across. Also overlaid the play field images and pieced COG together the best I could so it would match up with the VPX elements that were copied from target alpha. So the VPX elements should be in the right place. I trust Dan’s placements. He is not one to skimp :)
