The Simpsons Kooky Carnival (Stern 2006)

By ARMYAVIATION

This project started out because i was searching through the Vpinmame list of roms and saw a Simpsons game that we did not have. I ended up buying a cabinet and populated playfield for $80 and took it home and scanned it. This was probably 6 years ago...

The game can be found at most Chuck E. Cheese franchise locations and is a coin roller game that uses Stern Whitestar boards and many parts from The Simpsons Pinball Parts. The game features a shaker motor, moving ramps, moving Bart toy and a bunch of flashers and cool lights. I took the game with help from many others and made it a pitch and bat type game similar to Pennant Fever that i helped build many years ago. The left flipper pitches the ball, right swings. The magnasave buttons change the LUTs. The goal is to get the coin in the W-I-N holes on 3 shots, yeah good luck... there is no coin in or start button, game is always running in real life.

The "Good" This and the Backglass came from all scanned assets. 32 Assassin helped me initially getting this going because we had to trick the ticket dispenser and the switch when you insert a coin to roll down. Took some time to figure it out. Game plays as it should if there was a ball in it instead of a coin.

The "Bad"
1. The 2 ramps are static, i have another version that they move but the issue is you cannot have Primitive ramps move and be collidable. We had to make VPX ramps that were invisible that were collidable but getting them to sync up with the visual ramps was a nightmare. This was a community effort so it will be open to mod if anyone want to play with it and get it working. The VPX ramps are still there just not collidable and commented out in the script
2. There are GI lights under the back green plastics. I did not add them because I couldn't get them to work, gave up...
3. There are 3 solenoid controlled lights in the script. The lights are above homer and comic book guys head and point down. These provide most of the lighting in the game. The only way to properly do this is to use Blender. If someone wants to give it a shot by all means.
4. No desktop version, I don’t use it. If someone wants to make that thanks

This table is free to mod and publish without permission if:
1. It is posted on VP Universe only, definitely not VP Forums!!!!
2. You actually fix one of the above issues! If you just wanna mod then fine, mod and keep on your cab. If you have a really cool mod then contact me and we can talk. We don't need 10,000 versions of this table around because others, you know who you are on VPF, like to "fix" other people lights..

Lastly, I would like to thank all those that have contributed to this table. I am sorry that I don't remember all the names because this has been a 5 year project, please message me if you want your name added to the credits and don't be mad, its not intentional. From what I remember and can look back at, 32Assassin for scripting help, Wildman B2s, Arngrim DOF, cant remember who helped stich the PF scans, Dazz for scanning all the 3D models in, Rawd for making the 3d models usable in VPX, Remdwaas, Cyberpez and Rawd for help with scripting, ramp testing and other various items, Flupper for help with flashers. I know I probably missed people so let me know but generally the VPW guys for all the help getting this done.

Talking Word Clock

By Rascal

What is this? Its a clock made in VPX! If you have an old pc sitting around, turn it into a talking word clock, or have this running when your pc or cab is idle. Its a soothing sight and sound talking word clock with many features. Here is a list of the features.
1. It talks! It uses the built in TTS voice in windows to tell you the time, month, day, and day number every 5 minutes.
2. It's a word clock. It display in words the time at every 5 minute interval. It also displays the day of the week, month and day number (Desktop view only).
3. Changes from day to night scene according to time and also sounds change according to time (birds by day and birds and crickets by night).
4. London Clock Tower scene with Big Ben chimes and animated water with sound on the river Thames.
5. A swan swims back and forth on the river.
6. Every half hour a tour boat cruises by and you hear 1 of 50 fun facts about the clock tower spoken by a tour guide with an English accent. This happen at 6 minutes after and 36 minutes after in every hour.
7. The two faces and hands visible on the clock tower show the correct time going by minute and hour hands.
8. Up to 10 programable special days via script. Commented in script near the top are options to schedule special day animations. Things like anniversaries, birthdays, and so on. On those days you will see a bobbing display on the bottom of the screen with a image of your special days. You would need to create and load any special image you want to display into image manager, and then follow the examples in script to make them display.
Also via script you can turn on and off features like tour guide facts or the TTS voice if you want the clock less noisy. If you have more than one TTS voice in windows you can change the voice in script. You can turn on/off and test the TTS voice using the "t" key.
WOW! WHAT A CRAZY AND WONDERFUL CLOCK IT IS! DOWNLOAD AND TRY IT! I HAVE IT RUNNING ALL THE TIME ON MY LATTEPANDA MINI COMPUTER (see the picture).
Big thanks to Steely for making the clock tower hands primitives.

By Rascal

Ten Strike Classic, Benchmark Games, 2003, two players. This is a reissue and copy of the 1957 Williams Ten Strike. This new 10 Strike uses identical cabinet and art as the original, but has solidstate guts and LED style score displays (instead of score reels). Has two bells (one and ten points) for sound. Scores like regulation bowling, or with a flip of a switch, scores like the original 1957 Williams Ten Strike. Made in Korea specifically for Benchmark, and available only in the five foot length (unlike the original 1957 Williams Ten Strike, which came in both five and seven foot lengths).
No rom needed.
Included is the B2S backglass and wheel logo.
