Use the right Magna-Save to raise the center post and make the game even more exciting!

 

Built from scratch by @mistermixer, with previous versions by @destruk and @Javier used as reference. Authors: @mistermixer, @bord, and @jpsalas.

 

Released by Fireball II in June 1981, Fireball II is a solid-state Bally pinball machine designed by Gary Gayton and known for its three-ball multiball gameplay. It features three flippers, a captive ball, and the unique "Little Demon" post between the flippers that can be raised by the player to help save the ball. 

 

Credits for this release:

  • @RusstyT – Added GI lighting, dramatically enhanced the playfield image and insert lights, and painstakingly replaced nearly every object on the table with higher-quality models and assets. His extensive visual overhaul completely transformed the look of the table, giving it a far more polished and modern appearance.
  • @DGrimmReaper – Cabinet textures, animated VR backglass, center post animation fixes, various VR cabinet fixes, and desktop score displays.
  • @studly_do_right – For helping improve the visuals and sound.
  • @hauntfreaks – B2S backglass assets.
  • @Gravy – worked with RusstyT to provide feedback and help improve visual aspects
  • @burger – nFozzy and Fleep integration, desktop backdrop enhancements.

 

Info:

  • use Right Magna-Save to activate the flipper post (the  "Little Demon")
  • LUT options available in F12
  • Desktop users can see VR Cabinet and room by changing to vrtest=1 in the script

Fixed issue where playfield lights weren't working properly. You can download the update OR just change line 58 to be "Const UseLamps = 0" (instead of 1). Thanks @DGrimmReaper and @RusstyT for the fix!

I got an appreciation for how meticulous @burger is in replicating physics comparing the virtual video to a real machines. This guy has some serious skills. I use the fball_ii ROM from pinball Nirvana but all roms available work now with Const UseLamps=0 fix. The callouts when activating the centre post hit are like an episode of Batman. Zok, Bang, Pow. 😆

Fantastic conversion from Burger and his trusty crew (and those that laid the foundations with previous versions). Improved physics and fleep make this a highly enjoyable play. The Little Demon post shot with the magna save feels great when its hit flush. Playfield art is a beauty with those psychadelic fireballs, and the whole package is a real looker when topped off with the spectacular Hauntfreaks backglass. 

 

Thanks again Burger and all those that helped (inc the fix for the lights).

Thank you for creating this table. It’s a fantastic piece of work and a real pleasure to play. Excellent job and much appreciated. Thanks again for sharing it with the community!

This table turned out great. It looks amazing. But my DOF setup is triggering the knocker during the FIREBALL BONUS, which makes a deafening racket, haha. I tried remapping it (in the DOF Config Tools) to a different port (like the slingshot), but that just made the sling and the knocker fire together during the bonus, lol. For now, I've only managed to disable it. Has anyone else wanted to change this or knows how to do it?
