OMG SSF kicks ass. No ass excluded

[slapshot]

It's taken years, way back when it was vpinmame.  Our PC's could not process the data.  Glitchy, slow.  But we had reality.  Same tables in real life, perfect.  That's how I felt back in the day.  Searching forums for real table locations and submitting myself the locations.

 

It's more than a decade of evolution of Vpinmame, and it's wonderful.  I could never have dreamt of the progress.  Kudos to everyone involved.  

 

A couple of things I don't like, with respect to IRL rom, I want to play the same tables, in real life.   I hope the modders don't judge me wrong.  It's the ROM.  Given from the creator, free, to share.  

 

Hope is for authenticity or the ROM and real tables

  PinMame forever in my heat

I am just in the process of building a new cab,   Previously i die hard DOF person,   I thought i would give SSF a go and after a few headaches i have finally got it working and WOW!,    SSF is that good that i am not going to include contactors or solenoids in this build.  I will still do a Beacon and strobes, fire button on the lockdown and launch as well.  

 

Some tables definitely need tweaking as all table creators have personal preferences that they set up,  but i am not complaining and appreciate the work that all creators do.

@Wildman / @AusCapp - most tables has already been updated with SSF. But, there might be others which is not. I recommend that you guys head over to https://github.com/sverrewl/vpxtable_scripts

You press the green "Code" button and download all the scripts as zip. If you have a table that exactly matches the file name (just like a typical *.directb2s file) - just put it along side the table and you should get an SSF upgrade. There is a sub dir 'special_audiopan_and_audiofade_patched', that has some small changes that might improve the sound just slightly for "newer" tables as well.

 

Advice you to test - and don't save the table with the changes. That way, it is as easy as deleting the *.vbs to go back to original.

 

I'm so happy to hear more people going the SSF route - yes, it is awesome and much safer. A solenoid stuck is the same as a irritating sound that won't go away (if programmed as a loop sound of course).
