Masters of the Universe - Collector's Edition (PinEvent V2 - FizX 3.3)
Created by TerryRed
Version 1.0 (Dec 2024)
Masters of the Universe - Collector's Edition" has been a passion project of mine for a good 18 months. I started with Rom's classic table from 2013, and then proceeded to do a complete table rebuild with all-new code with the intent to make The Most POWERFUL Pinball game in the UNIVERSE! This is virtual pinball at a scale like you've never seen before!
First, I rebuilt it for modern FizX physics, BAM lighting, shadows and PinEvent features. With updated FizX physics, I needed to rebuild much of the layout with significant changes to how this table plays. From there I proceeded to make a completely new and massive game that lives up to the potential of MOTU and what is possible with FP-BAM in 2024! To give you an idea, the old MOTU table was 70 MB while the new MOTU CE is 846 MB just for the table file!
New Blender raytraced baked lighting and shadows combined with FP's dynamic lighting / shadowmaps / lightmaps and ray cast shadows creates a unique and gorgeous visual spectacle like no other!
All new detailed and painted models scanned from actual 80's MOTU toys are brought to life with my new custom animation code made just for this table! You've never seen pinball toys look and move like this!
The objective of the game is to complete each of the new 16 modes and get all collectables (action figures, vehicles, playsets) to become the Master of the Universe!

====================================================================
HOW TO DOWNLOAD THE GAME
The game files are on my Mega Share. To download it:
- click on the download link provided by this site
- this will take you to my Mega share where the table zips are located
- right-click on ONE zip file only!
- choose Standard Download
- DO NOT choose Download as a Zip file! (this is known to cause problems)
====================================================================
There are TWO versions of this game you can download.
- the normal complete game (around 2 GB)
- the "No VR Mega Room" version (1.63 GB)
Both are identical except for a couple of differences with the "No VR Mega Room" version
- this version of the table has the entire Mega VR Room and all Toppers removed
- this is intended for those with low vram on their GPU or for slower PCs
- cabinet users (who do not see the VR Room or Toppers at all) can use this version as well
- choosing any VR Mega Room or Topper options in the script will have no effect!
- this version of table is set to the Minimal Room by default
====================================================================
This game supports up to three players!
Each player chooses a faction and a character to play in the game!
====================================================================
Physics: FizX v3.3
====================================================================
TABLE REQUIREMENTS (very important!)
- all Visual C Runtime updates
- DirectX
- Future Pinball
- the latest BAM update
- FuturePinball.exe and FPLoader.exe patched for 4 GB access
- BAM Settings files installed
- FizX 1K ball model (for more accurate physics, default.zip in BAM folder)
- the REQUIRED “Video / Rendering Options” and “Editor Options” in Future Pinball video settings
NOT TO WORRY!
All of the above is included with the latest FP and BAM Essentials AIO package!
Super easy to use for a new install, or just to update your existing install. I recommend everyone install this package to ensure you have the latest required BAM updates and other files pre-installed!
pinballnirvana.com
====================================================================
IMPORTANT! - UPDATE REQUIRED!
This table REQUIRES a newer beta version of BAM (1.5-380) that is not yet released on Ravarcade's site.
This BAM 1.5-380 update is included with the FP and BAM Essentials AIO package version 2.6 or higher!
EVERYONE needs this new update to run this table! Simply install the latest FP and BAM Essentials AIO, and you are good to go!
====================================================================
PC HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
This is a LARGE game that needs lots of VRAM on your GPU!
- this is probably the largest virtual pinball game made (at around 845 MB for the table file alone)
- this game was made for the year 2024, not 2014, not 2004
- when I run this game in 4K, I have almost 8 GB total vram used!
- I've tested this on my older cabinet PC which has a GTX 1080 with 8 GB vram, and it worked fine in 4K (including 4 screens, and all PinEvent and PUP features running)
What options do you have if you have less vram?
- use the "No VR Mega Room" which uses alot less vram
- you can enable Texture Compression (in FP video settings) which greatly reduces how much vram is used
- if you use a "Start FP" bat file, then you will also need to enable Texture Compression in that file!
- enabling Texture Compression may take a little longer to load, but not much
Results with the complete version running in 4K:
7.6 GB vram used - texture compression NOT enabled
5.7 GB vram used - texture compression enabled
Results with the "No Mega VR Room" version running in 4K:
6.2 GB vram used - texture compression NOT enabled
4.8 GB vram used - texture compression enabled
Without Texture Compression, you will most likely need a GPU with 6 GB to 8GB
With Texture Compression, you will most likely need a GPU with at least 6 GB vram
Keep in mind, I also had other apps and processes running. If you restarted your PC and tried running with no other apps, there may be more breathing room.
Welcome to the year 2024 everyone :)

LOADING TIMES
Yup, this is a friggin big game. So depending on your PC speed, it may take longer to load than most other FP tables! For me this takes about as long as Star Wars DSA GE. On my new PC it loads fairly quickly.
