Diner by Williams (1990) Desktop version for VP9 ?

[Clsx]

Hi

I've been looking for a desktop version of this great table but I've only been able to find VP8 , VP9 FS and VPX versions of it

My setup is not powerful enough to play VPX full speed (yep even on low settings) so I mainly use VP9/Physmod tables

I already have and play the VP8 version but I'd like to know/play VP9 version if possible

Best regards ;

Thanks for the quick reply !

By the way it says WS (widescreen?) B2S version , can I just run and play it as I run any ordinary VP9 desktop table or do I have to adjust the script accordingly ?

I'm on a single screen setup , my laptop connected to the living room tv , use the default vpinmame dmd

Let me download it and check it for you.
Stay tuned.

So this is setup for the old B2S backglasses that were exes.
2 things you need to do, to make it work without the B2S.
Open table script and on LINE 49 and you will see this...

LaunchBackGlass "Diner_WS_B2S", True

Change it to...

LaunchBackGlass "Diner_WS_B2S", False

Now go to LINE 105 and you will see this...

.Hidden = 1

Change that to ...

.Hidden = 0

Now the PinMAME window will show and the backglass is not used.

If this seems to hard to do, I added table as attachment, with these 2 changes already made.

Thanks a ton ! worked flawlessly :)

Btw how can I edit the table so that it shows a backglass image or a poster of the table at the left / right sides (which is currently blank,very possibly due to the original author meant it to be played in a different way)

Thanks a lot

I just downloaded Flupper1's Diner version. Opened up the Image Manager, and Exported his DT Backdrop.
Opened the VP9 version, went into Image Manager, and Imported his DT Backdrop.
Adding as attachment. EDIT: Check Below for better DT Backdrop by Cliffy.

Wow , you just made my day my friend , thanks a lot !

 

[Cliffy]

Here's my perspective corrected backdrop for Diner too. I didnt like how the picture frames were tilted so far forward so made this one for myself.

@Cliffy
Thanks! Looks great when it is not warped!

@Clsx
Added Cliffy's Backdrop (shown above) to table.

clsx, i'm just curious.
why DeskTop?

Why ? Well , only one tv in house to connect (apart from playing on tiny laptop screen) , and I have this strong feeling that wife wouldn't be happy to see living room tv rotated vertically for sake of pinball lol

hit the thrift stores and pawn shops for a used flatscreen just for your PB.
don't let the pawn shops play you.
some of those TVs are 3-5yrs old.

Some people do not have any room for a cabinet. (I am one of them.)
Yes cabinet users have a backglass on seperate screen, but DT users can run backglass on same screen as table.
It won't be as big, as it will need to be placed in upper left of table, without interfering with table play.
I have always ran my tables and backglasses in DT mode, on 1 screen.
I think there are more DT users, than there are Cabinet users.

Long live the Desktop Users!!

yeah, i get it.
after playing real PB way back i feel the FS tables is as close to real PB as i will get at this time.
i could do a cab.
decided not to at this time because i will stay with a 1 PF screen setup.
don't need a full cab.
i put my 48class and PC in the corner when not using it.
then i take out of the corner and prop it up until i get around
to designing a simple folding cab for 1 screen.
there is a member here that posted a design he built himself that folds up to the wall.
i have had an idea for something like that for a long time.
