For Rod "Rawd" Ferguson, a man of many talents, a lover of pinball and golf, and our good friend.
Another long standing machine which Six had on his list which has been calling out for a new version for ages, but no decent scanned assets were available.
As luck would have it a playfield came up for sale local to iaakki, and we were able to buy and scan it thanks to the donation money generously given by some of you. Embee then touched up the damaged playfield, Sixtoe scratch built the vpx and Tomate did his always fantastic job of modelling the table, with Apophis coming in and fixing the scripting and animations.
DaRdog then made a fantastic "mega" VR room, and DGrimmReaper finished off the VR backglass.
There has been a longstanding bug in pinmame with the roulette wheel control, this has now been fixed in the latest vpinmame github actions if you are comfortable using those if you want to authentic experience.
