Start up Setup.exe in the VPinMAME folder -> click on the Test button -> select the poto_a32 ROM and click on the Start button -> move your mouse pointer over the DMD window and click on it -> hit the tilde (~) key on your keyboard -> use the up and down keys to select different categories -> use the left and right keys to increase the output level of the sound chips (I believe MSM5205 is voice and the YM2151 channels are music) -> hit the tilde key again and press the Stop button in the VPinMAME Test window -> OK -> Quit.

NB: I've tried all three ROMs (2.9, 3.1 and 3.2) and found that with all of them the music volume level is very low even with YM2151 at 100%.

No idea if this can be helped by using a different approach.

YES!!!!! YYYYYEEEESSS!!!!!!

I was waiting for this beauty for a loooonggg loooonggg time!!!

THANKS!!!!!!!!! really appreciate your time and dedication to this hobby!!!

Thans again!!!

There's an altsound available that helps a lot.

This table is based on a musical?

Shift + Delete.

Wonderfully updated table and one that has been needing it for some time. IRL this is a collectors game and highly sought after and rarely found in good condition. @TastyWasps, @MrGrynch, @leojreimroc, @redbone, @hauntfreaks and the play testers like @bietekwiet, @PinStratsDan, @studlygoorite are to be commended for their contributions to this awesome, beautiful update. Thanks to all!

Yes!!!! TastyWasps did it again. Tuned up a GREAT classic. Well done, mate. I've played this table so much back in the day. Data East has a place in my heart since my teenage years! Big improvements on this table!!! Thanks so much TastyW and all involved!!!! Much appreciate you sharing your magic, guys!

Great Surprise!

Thanks for this classic table.

Our lives are one masked Pinball

Unfortunately the music is very low.

Tryed the vpinmame setup.exe and the poto_a32

does not show up. the game works so I have the right rom.

Any ideas?  thanks in advance

Thanks for updating this great classic, one of my favorites Data East tables.
Altsound is so great that my advice is to install it, especially if you have volume issues.
One question I lost several balls because of the left kick back was not fast enough to hit the ball, I played this machine so long ago I can't remember if it's also the case on the real one.

I mentioned this in testing on discord too but it went ignored. Fortunately it is fixable. We just have to have bigger voices than mine making it known I guess

Yes I think it's possible to reduce the delay of the kick-back. 
On which Discord please, is it possible to beta test ?

entirely up to them to make an invite

Thank you!  I tried the table a few months back and found it lacking in current features, so I'm so glad you've updated it.  Can't wait to play!

THANK YOU so much for this.  Ive been waiting for an updated POTA with new physics forever.  You made my day! Much much appreciated

What a cool table.   Never gave it much of a try as I didn't like the old physics.   I'm now in love with the table.    Thank you for the updates!!

the tilde key doesn't work for me for some reason. I ended up grabbing the alt-sound package though and that's truly magnificent! 

Great update.  Thanks!

I moved the kickback down in the editor, moved it about 5 hits on the down arrow key, no more lost balls since I did that, I don't think it caused any other issues.
