I don't suppose there is anyway that this mod could be added somehow to your amazing table?  The code was rewritten to include modes, digital sounds and speech.

Thanks! That mod looks fantastic from the video! The table and lights could be reused, but the code would need to be rebuilt from scratch since the systems aren’t compatible and the ROM can’t easily be changed. With enough study of what the mod actually does and how it’s meant to play, it’s doable—but a big project. Maybe your post will inspire someone!

also this is a rom based table 50% of everything that happens on the table is by the ROM itself... 
so the table would have to be hand coded, like a modern VPX is coded

It really is an impressive looking mod.  I was really hoping that it could be done in vpx.   The speech, the sound, the modes.  Man, it transforms this already good table into a really exciting table.  The sounds he used are awesome.   There are other videos on youtube showing the mod, that focus on the sounds and all the different modes that were added.    Thanks for adding your skills to this table burgereater289!

Well, I'm just excited that you released an awesome version of this table, Hauntfreaks... stunning work.   Too bad the mod kit couldn't be emulated to work with the original rom but that would be a lot of work, even if possible.   Like you said, I guess hand coded would be the only way.   If I knew anything about coding, it would give it a shot.  This table deserves it.      Thank you Hauntfreaks, you have such talent.

This will only work for a real Trident pinball machine.   It will not work for a virtual pinball machine as in VPX.     I've been told by 2 talented people that it would require a complete rewrite of the code for the table and that has not been done yet.   Hopefully one day, someone will take on the challenge as it's a very cool mod.
