Thanks to Inkochnito for his work on the dip switch menus.

Notes:
Here is an all new Harlem Globetrotters table for your enjoyment!

Notes:

Important! Make sure you have the s3250u3 samples zip in your pinmame samples folder in order to hear the game sounds. Also, make sure the samples are enabled via the F1 menu.

Press F6 for dip switch options.

On 5 ball, you can see the bumper reels change states and alternate along with tougher rules (see rules). The 3/5 ball options are listed in the dip menu (F6).
I also recommend, if you don't use the nvram files with the recommended settings, to at least make the upper globe lights strobe via the dip menu. This makes things just slightly more challenging and it's a feature that really improves the attractiveness of the table.

The default VPM dmd window is disabled by default because of the display reels. However, if you want to access it to adjust the sound, samples, or anything else, then just press the "+" key to enable it. Then press the "-" (minus) key to hide it again. You may have to click on the screen first.

Table was built at 1600x1200 resolution and will display best at that resolution.

The default ball image looks best with ball antialias on (located in preferences, then video options only on VP7 versions) because it helps create a better looking ball reflection. There are also other ball images avaliable to choose from as well as ball scratch decals (default if enabled in ball options) and ball roll decals.

This table has the option for 6 or 7 digit display roms. The option will appear when you start the table.
I also included in this file my nvram files for both the 6 and 7 digit roms. These nvram files contain my recommended settings, which are mostly the factory recommended settings according to the manual. The nvrams also contain my sound adjustments. The rom volume was too loud for me, and so I adjusted it to go along better with the mech sounds. For the mech sound samples, I have my sound slider set at 47 (or nearly half way). That should be a good mech sound volume if you use the provided nvrams.

Also, in the zip file, there are rules included as well as the dip menu for the 7 digit roms. The 6 digit dip switch menu works fine even if you want to use the 7 digit roms. I think that the 7 digit dip switch menu isn't much different than the 6 digit one. Perhaps the option for more credits on a high score, but honestly, credits don't matter much in VPM! Still, if you only want to use the 7 digit roms, feel free to add in the 7 digit dip switches and remove the 6 digit ones.

That's it! Enjoy the table!
