Masters of the Universe - Collector's Edition (PinEvent V2 - FizX 3.3)
 
Created by TerryRed
Version 1.41 (April 2026)
 

 
 
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!

Everyone at Pinball Nirvanna for ideas, examples, and support

====================================================================
 
DISCLAIMER:

This table is a fan-made work of passion, and is NOT intended for commercial usage or to be included in any part of a commercial sale!
 
====================================================================
 
There are TWO versions of this game you can download
 
- the normal complete game
- the "Minimal" version
 
Both are identical except for a couple of differences with the "Minimal" version
 
- this version of the table has the entire Mega 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 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!
 
https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/14807-future-pinball-and-bam-essentials-all-in-one-complete/
 
====================================================================
 
IMPORTANT! - UPDATE REQUIRED!
 
This table REQUIRES a newer beta version of BAM (1.5-401) that is not yet released on Ravarcade's site.

This BAM 1.5-401 update is included with the FP and BAM Essentials AIO package version 3.3 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
 
What options can you try if your GPU has less VRAM (around 4 GB)?
 
- use the "Minimal" version 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
 
 
Total VRAM usage on my PC (fresh boot of windows - only FP is running - 4K resolution)
 
1.4 Table = 4.5 GB
1.4 Table - Minimal = 3.8 GB
 
note: enabling Trilinear Filtering adds around 600 MB more vram usage)
 
 
Total VRAM usage after enabling Texture Compression in FP Video settings
 
1.4 Table = 3.4 GB
1.4 Table - Minimal = 2.7 GB
 
 
So as you can see, with the 1.4 update, users with a GPU with 4 GB vram now have options to play the table!
 
====================================================================

Intro: 
Wake up, Neo.
Welcome to The Matrix Pinball, by Pincredibles. Prepare for a pinball adventure like no other.
You are stationed aboard The Nebuchadnezzar aided by Tank, your operator. Tank will help you as you guide the crew; Neo, Trinity, Niobe and Morpheus as they try to free the minds of the human race and free them from the imprisonment of the Matrix.
It won’t be smooth sailing. Agent Smith, Brown and Jones will attempt to stop you at all costs. Cypher is sneaking about, waiting to betray Morpheus and the crew. Sentinels will attack the ship and the Zion outpost.
Visiting the Oracle could bring you some answers and perks to help. Do not forget to go through the training programs to gain perks and increase your Matrix mode score.
Good luck. Maybe Morpheus was right. Maybe you are The One.

****************************************************************
How it came to be: The goal of the Pincredible tables has always been to push things to the next level. All of the work done up to this point has been about building a strong foundation that would allow us to create our own original table.
We began this project on February 27, 2022. By December 2024, I thought we were getting close to the finish line—but there was still so much more to add and improve.
A tremendous amount of work has gone into this from many different people, and the entire process has been an incredible experience

Basic requirements:
VPX 64 bit version 10.8.0 2051 (or greater)
Pinup: Version 1.5.2
DOF: Please make sure you update your DOF config

Huge Thanks to Zandysarcade !!!!!!
All the art updates including models, images, videos were all done by him.
 
Pinball Wizards are proud to present to you an original concept based off the PC game Darkest Dungeon. This pinball table provides a combination of pinball, RPG with heavy RNG (random number generation) elements. Virtually every game will be different from the last . Herbski1x and I would like to thank all those that helped us get this game developed/polished and presented to the community. 
 
 
 
Please take some time to read the provided rules as this game has a rather complex ruleset. 
 
Notes
Rulecards are also available in game by selecting the addcredit key -- this can only be done when a ball is sitting in the plunger lane and only one ball is on the table.
 
Some LUTS are available via the normal method of holding down the left magna save while hitting the right magna save to bring up the menu. This can only be changed prior to the game starting and will automatically be saved.

This table is reminder to a simpler time when all you needed was a bunch of drop targets and few colored lights to keep you entertained for hours. No complex rules, no intricate ramps, no wireforms, no multiball, no loops, no fancy bash toys, heck there aren't even any spinners, just pure simple pinball fun. Complete drop target banks and blast off!

FrankEnstein - 3D modeling, rendering, some code (Rocket design)
MCarter78 - VPX table build (Rocket science)
bthlonewolf - Additional scripting (Rocket tune-up)
DGrimmReaper - VR Setup (Launch ramp engineering)
HauntFreaks - Backglass (Mission control engineering)
Apophis - Scripting support (Count-down voice)

Timelord is fun game designed for player of all levels, with hard and easy mode, 3 ball or 5 ball options that are selected at the start of the game. Set the table tone you like by holding left magna save and toggling with right magna save to get the desired effect for your table.
TimeLord 4.1a has some important updates for single and multi player play. I recommend that you upgrade to this version and remove previous versions of timeLord. See Changelog for the full list of changes. The game, a 2/ 3 screen backglass and new wheel is included in the 4.1a download.
The 3 screen interactive backglass also works for desktop with Const ForceBackglass=1 at line 155 of script which already set in the script..
If playing VR set VR =1 or 2 at line 60. (Please note: JP's Flashers are currently used in VR and we are working on an interactive backglass for VR for release at a later date)
Thankyou to Oqqsan for  making the incredible 2 screen/3 screen interactive back glass come to life. Thankyou also to the previous Members of Avago are always credited with the product we have today.
Thankyou also to the many members of the community have made suggestions that have been implemented in the game. It has been a long journey.
I've tested the 4.1a version extensively, in 1,2 & 3 players hard mode and easy mode, 3 ball and 5 ball, finishing balls with and without completing the glory table and I couldn't break it. i'm hoping you can't either and get to dial in the spiral ramp for glory billions
cheers  
 
I'm also very proud to announce that my TimeLord banter cohort Hayden Perno, has had his first book published. Ralph Ridley in the Hunt for Time. His book is available from Hawkeye Publishing and you can check it out at ralphridley.com It is a cleverly constructed story about a boy who doesn't age and searches the Universe for the answers to his quantum curse. Hayden's story extends Einsteins' theory of relativity and stephen hawkins 7 Arrows of time. It takes you on a journey to the far reaches of the Universe and to where time stands still and incredible creatures live. It's definitely worth a read..
 
Requirements to play TimeLord 4.1.a
Requires VPX10.8Final-Rev2051 (28dd6c3), Freezy2.3.1 B2S Server 2.1.3 and Flex DMD 1.91

The Time Lord Story
Timelord is my version of stories between Hayden Perno and myself. We spit balled stories to try to make each other laugh and make small skits while training in the Gym. In my story you venture into the bizarre world of Kevin, aka Q-Man. Kevin would much rather hang out in seedy bars with dodgy chicks than take control of the Universe.😁 To add to his torment, he is tagged by Luigi the stray Robot. Luigi was cast aside by Mario the grape farmer because he kept draining the tractor gearbox for his favourite drink....used sump oil😂.  He's like the donkey in Shrek, unwanted and a serial pest and indelibly connected to Q-man.
To be the TimeLord in this game you must complete  5 incredible dangerous tasks.  You traverse the universe, reverse time ,navigate the wormholes and meteor showers must slay the dragon. Upon completion of the tasks you venture to the glory table, (Wizard mode) . The Glory table gives 60 seconds to shoot the spiral ramp for Glory Billions  and reveal the real hero of the story.
I hope you enjoy TimeLord and it brightens up your day.
 
The Avago Crew
I was very fortunate to work with some talented people in the production TimeLord through 6 generations of the game.  FrankyT does the  gangster style Robot Luigi and the TimeLord. Tomate did the translucent ramps, Oqqsan did the new interactive backglass animations, the lighting, ball affects and  clock animations, DOF is done by Outhere, Fleep sounds and nfozzy physics are done by Gedankekojote and Rawd did the Virtual reality. JPSalas is a huge part of the TimeLord project, providing the game framework, many explanations of scripting and he made changes to get a very clunky game to work. It goes with out saying my old mate Crackers advised and checked all the game iterations and changes over 2 years while the game went through 6 iterations. Of course there are many others who have help shaped the game including Sixtoes, Apophis, Remdwass &  Wylte from PinHelp and Rajo Joey who helped shape the game in the early days. Without these people and Smaugs encouragement there would be no TimeLord 2,3 or 4. The new look for 4 was encouraged by LTEK and the new backglass implemented to celebrate the release of Hayden Perno's book.
 
I hope you like it and honest reviews and comments are always appreciated.
 
This game is not for sale or for distribution on other download platforms.
 
Incorporated into the game are
Interactive backglass
SSF audio and sound production
DOF
NFozzy Physics
Fleep Sounds
Virtual reality
Light Inserts

This game uses many objects from other Table Builder including, JP Salas, Flupper1s light inserts and Scotty Wickburgs dragon spinner, rotating bumper caps and rotating eyeballs. The ramp ideas are inspired by TOTAN, Opening ramp inspired by Bride of Pinbot and the 4 kicker centre lane is inspired by the EM game melody. Many thank to all the wonderful authors who provided inspiration for TimeLord 2.0

"It's The Biggest Game In The World!"
 
VPW are proud to present World Cup Soccer '94 from Bally. This one has been kicking around for a good few years, a few people looked into converting Knorrs fantastic version to our latest physics including Sixtoe and RobbykingPin, especially as it didn't work properly in VR as a hybrid version. However due to it being constructed on a different scale none of our normal physics maths worked, so it always sat in the "too difficult" pile to do properly.

That is until one day mcarter78 decided to break the seal and rebuild the table from scratch in VPX, roping tomate (our resident football fan) into building it in the blender toolkit where he rescaled the 3D modeling by Knorr and added / updated various bells and whistles, and replaced all the textures, then everyone else piled in and did their thing, with Sixtoe messing with everything and making the table work fully physically (#savetheballs), and DGrimmReaper and DaRdog working on the VR side, and apophis did script things that no-one else understood.
Astronasty has access to a real one so we got to side by side test it to get it as close to the real one as possible in VPX.
 
Enjoy!
 
Team VPW
mcarter78 - Captain
tomate - Striker
Sixtoe -  Forward
apophis - Winger
DaRdog - Midfielder
DGrimmReaper - Defender
RobbyKingPin - Goalkeeper
Astronasty - Ball
Based on original recreation by Knorr and Clark Kent.
Testing - pinstratsdan, bthlonewolf, nestorgian, bountybob, hauntfreaks, chugalaefoo, cl4ve, Studlygoorite, leojreimroc, DaRdog, redbone, hauntfreaks, colvert.
 
Please note: The table has 4x button triggers on the playfield, the ball is *supposed* to be affected by them if it hits them, especially when they're hit slowly, tested side by side with the real machine.

They say you are a man of good... eh... taste.... (you must be because you are here). We very proudly present this killer of a table. It was built from the ground up, with new scans of the playfield, plastics, and sculpts. The ramps are based on numerous measurements from the real table. If you are feeling brave, check out the original VR room. Includes the latest and greatest of everything VPW has to offer. Enjoy!

Pirates Life 2.1 has a random ship selection throughout the game which opens up the game to enjoy more of Andre Pena's wise cracking callouts. There are two download options  for either Epic Metal and Split Enz Versions. 2 & 3 Screen Backglasses arena the backglass and media download as well as a comprehensive ruleset.
If you are playing VR My scripting is set to use JP's flashers for the DMD so change True to False in line 246 of the script (as below) 
 UseFlexDMD = False  
Also for VR users Pirates Life2.1b- EpicMetal has a bug fix for siderail name crash. There are no changes to the PiratesLife2.1b-SplitEnz Version from version 2.1a. Just keeping game names in alignment.
 
Pirates Life-The revenge of Cecil Hoggleston is an original game based on the story of an unfortunate lad who grows up to be the most fearsome pirate on the high seas and avenges his foes.  The game can be played by players of all levels with selection of easy or hard modes with 3 or 5 ball options. This version has a mega Pirate ship VR Room, new desktop and cabinet play looks. In the downloads you can find both Epic Metal and SplitEnz versions for Desktop/VR and cabinet modes. If playing desktop or cabinet ensure that the included .ini file is placed in the Tables folder. Also included in the downloads is a 2 & 3 screen backglasses, art pack and rules with lots of gameplay pictures. See below a link below to the youtube video where I explain the the gameplays and give you  game overview. The game has 8 modes to play, 9 ships to sink with plenty of music changes and callouts to keep you entertained. Epic metal music is kindly provided to you by Finish Composer Antii Martikainen and the incredible attract music, Hunting Pirates, is done by Finish metal group Turisas. Please check out their albums on Band Camp and any support you can give them is greatly appreciated. The game was designed around Split Enz music and pleased to provide updated versions with the original sound track. Please support this artist. The animations of the canon, shark, parrot, bobbing drunk skeleton and the dirty creature are all done by JP Salas. Beautiful transparent ramps are done by Tomate and DOF is done by Outhere. Smaug and Gramps chip in with some amusing callouts and Sixtoes was with me for the entire project providing timely advices and neat ideas. Topping off an incredible group of people who have worked on this game includes voice actor Andre Pena who does voices forScurvy Dick, Barba Blanka and the scumbag sailor. You can also checkout Andre's work with his role as Louis in resident Evil 4 zombie bang em up blockbuster game.
Before starting the game ensure you take advantage of the Lut suitable for your monitor. Hold down left magna save and change the Lut with the right magna save.
 
Pirates Life 1.0.6  has the original soundtrack by Split Enz and will take you on a different more relaxed journey and into the world Cecil Hoggleston via different path.
Spend 13 minutes to watch the video and learn the game. There is more in it than meets the eye.
This is an overview of the game and there is a set of rules and story in the downloads
The game is made with v10.8.0 Beta(Rev 1807(39824d6) 64 bit freezy 2.2.1.0 and flex DMD 1.9.0.0, VPinMame 3.6 & latest Backglass server B2S 2.03
For those who are struggling to get their software going, this is a link to my current, relevant VPinMame & VPinball files. You are welcome to try at your own risk. Please be aware that I am not running everything latest. For some reason I have conflicts with the RC3 and Freezy 2.2.2 and Flex DMD 1.9.1 and haven't had time to investigate this. if anyone can teach please leave your insights in the comments section.
vPinball Files working for RusstyT 2-6-24.zip
 
Always make sure you do a backup and always copy across the scripts. I don't recommend replacing your current 3.6VPinMame setup.exe and setup64.exe files. Thats is why I have placed them seperate to the other files.
Note: The game is designed to run JPs flashers in Desktop and VR & I do not recommend using the flex dmd option for playing with these methods.
If Playing VR change line 195 of the script to VRRoom=1
 
Incorporated in the Game are;
Easy and hard modes with 3 ball or 5 ball options
nFozzy Physics
Fleep Sounds

"When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die"
 
Welcome to VPW's "Original" recreation of one of Stern's most complex machines.
 
This project started with Skillman wanting to learn VPX and playing around reverse engineering the Stern SPIKE ROMs. Thanks to the detailed Youtube series by ChuckWurt the complete ruleset was documented, allowing it to be implemented in VBScript for this release.
 
When the beta table was introduced to the VPW team they really took an interest in taking it to the next level, and what you see is the result of nearly a year of their work. 
 
This table requires VPX 10.8.0 Final or later and FlexDMD 1.9.1 or later.
 
Controls:
Use Right Magnasave during gameplay as the Action button Access the DMD Options menu with left+right magnasave during Attract mode or press F12 to access options in the Tweak menu instead. From the Options menu, change cabinet mode, LUTs, and presence of a "real" lockbar button Access the Stern Service Menu with the service buttons to adjust standard game settings

"This is VPW control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade!"
 
VPW are proud to (xmas) present Space Station by Williams!
This machine is pretty unique in that it doesn't have inlanes, just slings leading straight on to the flippers, so there's no chance of a respite from the action! It's a bit of a hidden gem if you've not played it before.
 
Tomate really fancied doing this one and luckily we managed to track down a playfield we could buy to scan (thanks to those of you who donated through our beer me link here or bought something through our merch store!), and as part of developing it he also played with the way we do inserts and flashers and made them look even more special! We honestly think it's one of the best looking machines we've done so far and the light show is something else, especially in multiball.
 
*WARNING* There are versions of vpinmame where the solenoid sticks on for System 11 games, but the released versions are fine, be warned and check your solenoids are not latching on if you're using a "non release" version.

Welcome to Jurassic Park!
 
Dark's original table rebuilt and brought into the toolkit era. Flux started this by getting the table ready for the blender toolkit, Sixtoe gutted and rebuilt the layout in VPX and we were on our way to Isla Nublar. Apophis roared into action with all the standard VPW bells and whistles and DaRdog added a deadly Mega VR Room. Many others helped make this another fantastic table so....How about another tour of the park?

Bad Move Human!
 
Centaur (Bally 1981) has quickly become my favorite pinball machine after doing this development.  Its fun, challenging, and the multiballs are awesome!  Thanks to Bord, @redbone, and Hauntfreaks for graphics assistance.  Bord provided a real scanned playfield, and Redbone updated it for scaling, inserts, and other touchups.  Redbone also created images for the plastics, apron, bumpers, and targets.  The VR backglass images are from Hauntfreaks.

Version 2.0 is a complete build from scratch utilizing full VPW standards, physics, baked GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth drop and standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Lot of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action.
 
I've implemented a full two trough system in this table to recreate what the actual table has and does for the orbs multiballs.  A lot of work and timing went into getting that just right.  Many primitives were redone in blender to get as accurate as I could. Some were reused and/or updated from Bord's prior table.
 
And as usual, there are plenty of options in the F12 menu, including ball choices, flipper colors, targets, screw caps, pulsing Queen's Chamber, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit.  There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu, including LED undercab lighting, toppers, and more.  You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu.  (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.).
 
I've also implemented some mods to replicate the recent Haggis Pinball Centaur Orblivion mod/update.  Graphics, VR updates, targets, etc. will be automatically updated with the Haggis mod in the F12 menu.  You can also get all the mods individually by selecting them one at a time.  
 
Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings:  The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls and harder play, AND a one free tilt with a warning.  If you want to change the ROM settings yourself, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change.
 
However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options.  Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play.  The default ROM has that set to off.  I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Bally's recommendation (1,200,000 and 2,800,000).  Also, there are settings in the menu to set replays, sound, and HSTD. All this has been done for you in the included nvram file.  I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself.  
 
Thanks again to Redbone for providing all the graphics updates, and to Hauntfreaks for the updated backglass images, and Bord for the playfield!

"The Castle Burns! Get the Marshmallows!"
 
VPW are proud to present Medieval Madness by Williams.
 
This one has been stuck in development hell since 2021. Sixtoe picked up the project in 2022 and built a new functioning VPX layout with the new playfield scan supplied by ClarkKent, but it had no graphics and we had a load of other projects in work. So, it languished as there was already a nice verion from Tom Tower and Ninuzzu. In early 2024 Tomate built some of the 3D side for fun and Sixtoe worked on the VPX side a bit more before moving onto other projects again (and Sixtoe half jokingly said Medieval Madness shall get delayed another month every time someone asked for it in another table's release). Then, in September 2025 Sixtoe and Tomate picked it up again to finally get it over the finish line with lots of help from Apophis, a VR room from DaRDog, and contributions from the rest of the gang, aided by MajorDrain giving 1:1 feedback against his real machine.
 
It's worth noting that this has been side-by-side tested against 2 separate real machines, so it should be pretty faithful to the real thing. With that in mind;
 
Stuff you'll be annoyed we replicated that aren't bugs
Merlin's Magic - Some shots go through avoiding the saucer, this happens on the real machine.
Castle Side Door - Some shots bounce off the edges and don't go through the door, this happens on the real machine.
It's not an easy machine, the slings can be lethal and slow balls off the right orbit are dangerous.

I made the game that I always wanted to play...
 
Prepare yourself for the looming Dark Chaos. You must fly into the maelstrom of oncoming cosmic debris and destroy all you can before it reaches earth. Collect power-ups along the way to help you survive the onslaught of meteor waves. Run training missions to improve your ability to collect power-ups. Make it through the gauntlet to take on the final, monstrous, planet killing asteroid. Our fragile Earth is depending on you. 
 
This game blends pinball with classic arcade concepts. I hope you find the gameplay uniquely thrilling. You will be constantly fighting to survive. The game fights back, so keep an eye on your health meter. There are defensive and offensive power-ups, but only a limited time to collect them, so choose wisely. Good luck, Defender.

Enormous thank you to Flux and Unsavory. So much technical and artistic talent! I really could not have done this without you guys. The game logic for this table was developed using Flux's VBScript port of Mission Pinball Framework which he calls the VPX Game Logic Framework (GLF). Go check it out at https://mpcarr.github.io/vpx-glf/
 
Setup Notes (PLEASE READ)
Requires the VPX 10.8.0 Final release (64-bit) and the latest FlexDMD. Do not report bugs here if you are using any other version of VPX! If you are playing on a cabinet with DOF, please update your DOF config! Please allow at least 20 seconds for the table to load. This table has a large script, so it takes a little time to initialize. Press F12 in the game to open the Tweak Menu. Rules description and game options are provided. If you want to use the FlexDMD rendered alphanumeric display, enable the "GLF Virtual Segment DMD" option in the Tweak Menu. Press start button to save options. You might need to position the DMD with your mouse the first time you enable it. The position automatically saves. For nice alphanumeric display rendering, add the following text to the bottom of your DmdDevice.ini file:
[darkchaos]
virtualdmd enabled = false
alphanumeric enabled = true  
Performance Tips. If you are having performance issues, doing one or more of the following might help:
In the table's Tweak menu: Disable "Clear Plastic Refractions" in option menu Disable "Playfield Reflections" in option menu Set "Glf Min Lightmap Update Rate" option to your display's update rate In VPX Video/Graphics options: Disable all "Anti-Aliasing" options Try using a different "Synchronization mode" Set "Max Texture Dimensions" to something less than Unlimited. Start with 7168. For those willing to live on the edge, VPX 10.8.1 BGFX provides significant performance improvements. Users say that Dark Chaos plays perfectly smooth on BGFX. You can simply extract the latest build to its own folder and run the exe. But be sure to backup your VPinballX.ini file before trying it.

VPW proudly present a table that'll keep you up!
This started about a year ago when Sixtoe got hold of a playfield scan of Scared Stiff and decided to follow through on a long time promise he'd made to make a series of "how to vpx" videos showing how to build a table totally from scratch.
VPW How To VPX on Youtube
It's one mcarter78's favorite tables, so he started to build it in the toolkit and got hold of some of the toys to scan them, Tomate came in to finish the blender side of things, and Apophis came on board to sort out some script things and add the VR bells and whistles.
Cyberpez built a new 3D backglass and Tomate made a new 3D spider for it.
During building it Sixtoe found a bug in VPX and Niwak fixed it, so now all of the flashers work properly and fade nicely now PWM is implemented properly (you'll need a recent-ish vpinmame for this!), and we think you'll enjoy the lightshow
Check out all the options in the F12 menu, which includes the latest and greatest of everything VPW has to offer. Enjoy!

VPW proudly present this monster of a table! This has been the machine cooking for longest in VPW, dating back to August 2020! It went through a few tweaks and iterations until everything was totally scrapped when we got a new playfield scan and Sixtoe scratch rebuilt it in 2022, and Niwak built it in the what was then brand new blender toolkit as he wanted to to test fancy overlapping transparent ramps.
After doing everytihng, we realised the whole table has been built on slightly the wrong scale and were sad, Niwak then got distracted by updating vpinmame so the ramp lights worked properly and then completely rewriting vpx and vpinmame, and Sixtoe got distracted by a squirrel (this happens more than you'd expect).
Then at the start of May '25 Apophis held Sixtoe upside down over the vpw swamp and said "are you gonna finish this or what? what we have is better than not having one!" and brought it up to date with mcarter78 and FrankEnstein, and here we are, finally with a release!
Check out the original swampy VR room and all the options in the F12 menu, which includes the latest and greatest of everything VPW has to offer. Enjoy!
 
The ramp running lights work in all versions, but they'll look a bit prettier in the newest pinmame (3.7.0.43) as correct emulation of the special pcb has now been added by Niwak.

Q&A:
1. The rom slows down and does not respond any more or the table crashes
Answer: use VPX 10.8 final 64-bit and Vpinmame 3.6 Final 64-bit
2. The rom is missing or not working correctly
Answer: use the rom from the hyperlink provided on top of the release notes
3. There are no options in the script
Answer: all options are in the F12 menu, during play
4. At the end of ball, the sound stutters and the lights as well
Answer: this is a known issue: this is caused by the pinmame emulation, cannot be fixed in VPX
5. The flashers are very bright
Answer: first of all, don't change the tonemapper to anything else then AgX; furthermore you can tune the flasher brightness in the F12 menu

BackGlass + Full DMD :
 
 

Butt-head: "It's about time, dumbass! What took you so damn long!? hh-huh-huh.".. Beavis: "Yeah, loser! heh-heh-heh."
Me: "Yeah, I know, I know. Sorry guys, too much procrastination."
Butt-head: "hh-huh-huh, he said 'ass'!".. Beavis: "Yeah, heh-heh-heh."
 
Well, after 2½ years in the making and to celebrate three decades of these two snickering metalhead idiots
who will never grow up or score, I am truly proud to finally present..
 
Beavis and Butt-head in.. "Pinballed."
 
Thirty years ago, a cartoon show with this crazy duo aired on MTV that was so divisive that politicians were calling for it to be
removed from the air. It was crass, it was filthy, but most of all, it was downright hilarious. Beavis and Butt-Head hocked a loogie
into the pool of early 1990s pop culture and they've been doing it ever since with episode after episode and a few movies thrown in.
 
As an homage to Mike Judge, Beavis and Butt-head, and to all of the older school pinball diehards out there, I created this table
as it might have looked, and should have been released, back in 1993. Nothing fancy, no videos, etc. Just good ol' fun retro pinball!
 
I want to thank Mr. J.P. Salas for his help(and patience) with the animation scripting and give a big shout out to the original
1991 table's script writers. That table script allowed me to start with a blank canvas to design and build my complete re-theme.
I'd also like to thank the Visual Pinball and Vpinmame development teams! Without you, none of this would be possible!
 
I hope that everyone who downloads this table has as much fun playing it as I did creating it.
 
Cheers!
Watacaractr
