24 (Stern 2009) v.2.1 (DT-FS-FSS-VR)

The following takes places between 6A.M. and 7A.M.!

I always had a soft spot for this one. 
This is a great Steve Ritchie table that is very underrated.
Resources are very limited on this table, probably due to a low production number.
And most of the things we could find were in a poor quality as well.
So me and DaRdog pulled out the big guns by upscales and AI to make everything look as sharp as possible.
The result looks much better than I could possibly imagine.
In only 1 month this project got in the shape it is today.

This table requires VP 10.8 RC3 and VPinMame 3.6-929 or higher when available to ensure the best gameplay experience and supports both 32 and 64 bit.
I would only recommend using released versions and try to stay away from the actions page because it seems like for every fix they got they also can break something else.
Only if you are having performance issues I'd carefully try one of those versions I don't recommend.
That's on your own risk to do so.
