Help

Hi. I have a problem.

Instead of this :

any table look like this:

All the tables are blurry like this.

Roms, tables, cfg, nvram files are where they should be.

I tried switching on/off hd rendering and setting my graphic card AF to x8, but it didn't help at all.

Interesting... I think mine shows up blurry as well, but I guess I never really noticed it. The guy who coauthored the table is Noah Fentz. He runs a pinball website at http://vpforums.org They're a little more focused on VP9 over there than most folks over here... you might wanna post about it there.

Have you tried Preferences > Video options > turning down Alpha Ramp Accuracy (move the slider to the left),

Choosing 16 bit mode (instead of i.e., 1024 x 768 x 32)

Disabling (unchecking) Ball antialias

Don't stretch the ball

Also try going to Windows Start > Run and type DXDiag.exe.
Run it and under the Display tab check to make sure Direct Draw, Direct 3D, Hardware Acceleration, or whatever is offered there for your video chipset or card is Enabled and functioning. Run the tests on that menu.

I searched the forum and all the others who had the same problem - all the tables blurry, they just switched on HD rendering, but that doesn't work for me...

I tried all of this now, i ran the tests (everything is enabled and functioning), but all the tables are still blurry.

Thanks anyway

I think there's one thing that may help on the Breakshot table. On the download section at VP.org, I found this:
High Resolution images can be imported for higher-end video cards. They can be found HERE.
When you click on HERE, it takes you to a link of hi-res images, which I bet were used to take the screenshot. If you're using a laptop or older desktop, these probably won't be much help to you. It takes a pretty good graphics card to run.

Here's a detailed solution to that issue, using the very table in question ...

Thanks, Noah! Does it matter whether you're using the Hi-Res or Lo-Res images?

hey I know that table!

That one is the basis for my gas attack conversion!
:)

breakshot kicks ass it is a great pin and it helped alot with the conversion of it too as everything was lined up perfectly

I read that it was not a matter of focus. The exclusive on VP9, not the table. But the fact that there is nothing good here and no one that would want it.

The funny thing is that the truth is that if this site had VP9 and those tables here, it would have not only the more as it has anyway, but everything anyone wanted to post to do with VP. So though their statement is correct to a point, it is a direct result of the work no longer being mirrored here, so something that was done for the reason of saying it's so.

If this is not division. Something Paul said was not the purpose, and denied any possibility. Nothing is. Division has no meaning.

I did not say it was a possibility back then to cause trouble like Paul says is the case about anything I post, (other than "I agree"), I said it because I saw the possibility of this coming.

They're a little more focused on VP9 over there than most folks over here... you might wanna post about it there.

"There" one get analyses & answers,suggestions, solutions almost always, jokes sometimes but nothing like your nauseating, out of validity, permanent ranting.
You make this place smelling bad, ShockTroll.
Pinball Nirvana does not deserve this.

The situation is what it is. It is not what it is because I say it is what it is. It is not otherwise because someone would say it is otherwise either.

 

[Shockman]

There are two sides to this, like everything.

One side is welcome 'there', but both sides are welcome here.
Pinball Nirvana does deserve the truth.

jumping to that part of laughter over 'there' gee is there a no man's land filled with claymores and spiked tra...ah never mind if you can go over
there and take a look at that cool DMD sig that was made for me!
Now that thing is hilarious and obviously took some time to do for(?) me!
So, yeah there is comedy there much as i see a type of funniness going on over here,
which I am happy for as there are some pin sites out there with absolutely
no sense of humor at all. So even with that 'other site's' type of humor,
and occasional (?) dig at me, I love you both
and all those 'stick up the arse' ones too :)

oh man it's way too early for this type of logic for me
that's like "I am therefore I exist"?
I am so confoooosed!
just staying here in no mans land avoiding the damn mines and the occasional mortar fire but geez...huh?
