4 Aces (Williams 1970) music video PUP-pack

Music mods or sound mods are something that I really enjoy a lot. Ideally, the music adds to the pinball machine's theme and brings back the feeling of the bar where the pinball machine often was located near the jukebox. Especially for EM machines that only had chimes and bells, the added music can be nice.

I've created a small PUP-pack for the 1970 Williams table "4 Aces" with some music videos (mainly from the 1960s) that are more or less go-go dancer themed. It should not come as a surprise that the video material from that era lacks in resolution, so sorry for that. Some of the videos feature the original artist, while others are cover versions or just show footage of the era. The intro features a song that was well-known in Germany for being the trailer for tv show "Musikladen" that ran between mid-seventies and mid-eighties. 

To accomplish the PUP-pack as a video jukebox I had to add some controls to the table script. During game play, you can go to another random track with the right magnasave button. Pressing the left magnasave button stops the playback. Holding down the left magnasave button enables the LUT selector that the original table came with. The gameplay itself doesn't have any impact on video playback.

The original version of the table 1.0.2 was released in August 2023 at VPF and is being used with kind approval by table author @jpsalas JP Salas. The table doesn't have a plunger; you launch the ball from the drain.

The PUP-pack videos can be positioned on topper, backglass or full DMD screen, with or without an overlay. It comes with these options:

1. Video on backglass, no overlay
2. Video on backglass with overlay-frame
3. Video on fullDMD, no overlay
4. Video on fullDMD with overlay-frame
5. Video on topper, no overlay

To preserve the score display it's advisable to use the b2s file that originally came with the table or to combine it with the full DMD b2s file:

If you're short on screens I recommend hiding the backglass portion of the full DMD b2s and playing the videos on the backglass instead.

There is a PDF that comes with the package that explains the PUP-pack options. If you only want the music and not the videos, just play the pup-pack in the background hidden behind your backglass.

I'd appreciate comments if you find PUP-packs like this one usefull; I have some other video PUP-pack ideas on my mind for older, music or dancing-themed EM tables. Proposals would be welcome.

Thanks
