VPX Conversion by: Goldchicco & 32assassin

vp8 table by: TAB

vp9 table by JP Salas

Thank You to JP Salas for giving me the OK to proceed with this conversion and for those kind words when I presented the table to him:

It looks good. Still it doesn’t have the right proportions. I made the table 13 years ago, when the screen where 4:3, cabinets didn’t exist, and VP didn’t have any zoom capabilities. So I made the table as big as posible, cutting away the apron as much as I could  As you can see the graphics where 1024×1024, since that was the max size VP could handle.”

Special Thanks to :

@32assassin for helping me with this conversion and for sharing his passion, knowledge and time.

@vogliadicane for the LUT file

@sneakily1 for the environmental image I borrowed from his personal collection

@movieguru for upscaling and enhancing images

This conversion carried over well known ‘issues’ as described above . I decided  to share it anyway with the community, so consider it as blueprint for a new completely rebuild, feel free to Mod or share any improvements.

Hope you enjoy it the way it is and please leave constructive feedback or comments in the support topic and will try to make it better.

Thank you @goldchicco, @32assassin and last but surely not least @jpsalas ! I doubt I would ever play this in VP if you guys didn’t bring it into VPX.

Really nice game.

The game is set to 5 ball play in the F6 menu , but mine is  playing as 3 ball. I found the line in the script to select 3 or 5 but can’t be certain what its set to

Anyone else notice this and have a fix ?

Thanks

The IPDB is already included in the release and the manual doesn’t show lights numbers or solenoids etc.

Thanks for try, still looking for one more accurate

@kightrider

Evidently you missed the release\description of the table and never played the vp9 table.

Please refer for more info to the description tab about this table.

Another very nice table! I actually feel like I’m at a race track the way the table is designed!
