Wow, that looks darn good in the screenshot (need to find time to try it). I don' think I ever played the older version (if I did it was only briefly). I'll need to try and find some time on Sunday to try it out.

It would be cool to animate those juicy standup targets, but that could be difficult if it's a decal (snapshot plus reel would work, but getting a believable slight tilt back on a set 2D graphic might be easier said than done, although "distort" would probably work).

Very nice looking table, Kristian. I'm not a fan of ramps, but those really look super, sort of two tone chrome. More reason I need to figure out how to get VPM working again. And yes, as far as I know I have everything set up right, just too busy to trouble shoot right now.

Hell yah!!!

kristian keep comming back with more goodies!!!

 

[kristian]

Thanks all.

Yes PD, those standup targets are decals. Your animated ones look fantastic in Firepower. If you want to do it I can send you the graphic pieces.

 

[Petri]

Thanks for this high level update,Kristian.
D´loading right now.

 

[PacDude]

Like I said, it'd have to be done with reels if it uses decals. Maybe I'll look at it in January (too busy now and I'd like to try and update a table or two on my days off like maybe TZ with new lights and the new table angle if I can find enough time).

 

[kristian]

Don't touch the gameplay in TZ. It's sacred. :D

And here is a VP8 version made by the great Destruk...

The Virtual Pinball Forums

www.vpforums.org

Many posts in this section, only announce that a table is available, and usually leave a link to the table, or give info where to get table, without actually uploading the table here on this site.

 

[Megamicro]

Do you have 24. CSO and Wheel of Fortune available for the vp8, vp9 or vpc?

 

[pinhead1]

you will get little or no support for VP9.
VP9 made its run from 09-2017.
the forum has moved on to the new VPX and FP engines.
if you want to play VP9 you are on your own.
there is still some DT VP8 and VP9FS and DT at VPForums.org home page
you might find what you want at VPforums.
do a search for pinball forums.
there are more forums.

Bally Game Show wants a gs_lu4 rom file. How do I get it?

i guess you mean the 911 v1.02 DT or FS version.
you need to create an account.
if it has a rom it should be on the same page as the table DL
or try this for the rom.

if playing DT versions DL the FS version and turn your monitor on its side.
or try this for the rom.

Sent you a PM Megamicro

 

[pinhead1]

omg,,,what is so secret you need to send a PM??
let everybody in on it.

 

[AnonTet]

I have the rom so I've send it to him. Just didn't do it
As i'm unsure on the site's rom sharing I didn't attach it publicly.

If you need it I can send it to you as well.

I'm all in favor of sharing :)

 

[pinhead1]

well why PM?
share it for everybody.
it's probably over at VPForums.org in the table DL.
sorry Mega.
the copy/paste from VPforums didn't work.
look in the red bar at the top for VPtables and roms
if it has a ROM it should be with the table DL.

 

[AnonTet]

Again, I'm unsure about rom sharing public here (and I'm not reading the T&C's now :) )

Tables are one thing, roms are another.

oh really, i thought this was an open source program.
i didnt know that rom sharing or anything like that was a problem.
don't need it.
i'm good.

VPX is open source, rom's are property of the respective manufacturer.

well, i guess i missed that one.
the ROMS are for the PB MicroSoft C++program on a PC.
why would a ROM be property of a real PB maker?

 

[pinhead1]

VPX is open source, rom's are property of the respective manufacturer.

ok, this is what i found on a google search
as long as you are not selling the ROM for profit it will be ok to share
so i guess its ok for the pinball forum.
read the "people also asked" 4links down the page.
keep clicking on the links to expand.

why are visual pinball roms not shared - Google Search

@Megamicro, @pinhead1,
If you're ever unsure about where to get a ROM, this stickied thread at the top of the VP/VPM section can provide some assistance.

For example, if you look at that thread, the first suggestion is to try the IPDB. Doing that, we find that the ROM is listed third down in its section.

I'm guessing that particular ROM didn't get uploaded here because it's requested infrequently.
