      I just finished getting my butt kicked in a free download version of the complete Starfighter game exactly as it appears in the movie.  Too cool =)

      I may just have to build a cabinet for that one =)

      I tried it, first time it worked fine but low res so I ran the resolution exe and selected a different res but it went south. Game played slow, ratio was wrong. Per the instructions I selected a 4:3 ratio resolution and that fixed the graphics but for some reason controls are borked.  It seems fun so I will keep working at it, its def a heart filled fan labor of love.  This dates back to 2006 and the game still seems fun and not dated (like it belonged in the arcades back in ’93 via Sega Virtual Fighter type polygon tech).   Thanks for the link Gwen

            hello everyone, the internet line is zeroed in this period of virus that I have been waiting for 4 hours for the loading of the first HD Italian pup pack.

            Tomorrow I put the English one and all the media for frontend.

            I am using the translator and I hope it is read correctly in English.

                This table uses many elements from mfuegemann’s recreation of Pro Pinball: The Web, which should be properly credited.

                  Where can I find the music files?   It says I should place them in the music folder, but no music files were attached.  Thanks!

                    I LOVE this movie! Thank you for this release!  I didnt see any music files so I assume we are just waiting on the puppack?  The script seems to have all the music calls commented out as well?  Thank you so much

                        Causa corona virus la linea internet mi risulta sempre lenta……oggi ho inserito i pup pack e i media.

                        Spero vi piaccia questo tavolo. Un bel ricordo del film!

                                yes, as a base, but then I modified the whole table to create this.

                                      last star2

                                      For starters, a big thank you to djchiccomix for a cool table.  I worked at a movie theatre when this came out so I saw bits of it (mostly the beginning and the end) a ton of times.  I think I learned a little Italian while trying to get this to work  ;p

                                       

                                      I’m a single screen user and this one was tough for me. If you’re like me and having issues, here’s what I did:

                                      1. I didn’t want to see all those extra table parts to the side of the table, so I dragged them far to the sides.

                                      last1

                                      2. I set up my camera settings as seen in the image below. Note, because I dragged items to the side, it affected my X Offset which I normally set to 0. If you drag the extra parts to the side, your X offset will be different than mine.

                                      last2

                                      3. There were no pup files with the pup pack so I did the following to get things to work for me:

                                      last3

                                      4. For my PinUpPlayer.ini file, I changed the aspect ratio of the Topper so the spinning circle emblem was a true circle and not a misshapened oval:
                                      [INFO]
                                      ScreenXPos=2
                                      ScreenYPos=164
                                      ScreenWidth=512
                                      ScreenHeight=384
                                      512 X 384 matches the dimensions of the mp4 movie in the Topper puppack folder.  Note that I resize all the videos to be smaller since I’m playing at a 1920X1080 resolution so your topper video resolution might be larger.

                                      5. Here’s the details to my pupinit.bat file which I know are excessive but hey they sorta work for me:
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “Visual Pinball Player” -2 4 1
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “Form1” -1 5 0
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “PUPSCREEN*” -1 5 1
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “Visual Pinball Player” -2 6 1
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “PUPSCREEN*” -2 7 0
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “Visual Pinball Player” -2 8 1
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “Form1” -1 9 0
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “PUPSCREEN*” -1 9 1
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “Visual Pinball Player” -2 10 1
                                      start “” pupwinpos.exe “PUPSCREEN*” -2 11 0

                                      The reason I say ‘sorta’ is that . . .

                                      Once I launch the table (via Pinup Popper or double clicking on the vpx file), I wait for the topper (spinning emblem) to stop flickering on/off.  At this point, I’m not yet seeing the BackGlass and sometimes not seeing the UltraDMD for whatever reason (on other tables, I do see them both before I add a coin ‘5’ or press ‘1’ to start).

                                      Once that Topper stops flashing on and off (because of my excessive bat file), I then press ‘1’ to start. At this point the UltraDMD display and the BackGlass appear.
                                      I then press Enter to launch the ball.

                                      Thanks again djchiccomix for all the hard work!!!

                                        Awesome table. when I launch the table i get a B2S error looking for the backglass file thelaststarfighter.directb2s, anyone else getting this? It wasn’t included with the download.
