The X Files (Sega 1997)


Deny Everything.  Trust No One.

The X Files was released by Sega in 1997 with a production run of only 1500 units.

I noticed that the X Files for VPX was in need of the newer VPW enhancements as this version is based off Sliderpoint's 2016 version (then based off JPSalas version 2011!).  There have been many improvements to VPX (from the VPW team) since 2106 to make it play better plus there were a few bugs and gameplay issues to balance. 

 

Additions / Updates:

* nFozzy Physics

* Fleep Sounds

* Flupper Domes 

* Dynamic Ball Shadows
* LUT Selector (hold left magna then press right magna)
* Playfield image enhanced for better clarity
* Desktop background updated to a clean, minimal look.

* 2 Hybrid VR Rooms (Deluxe and Minimal) (Thanks Sixtoe, Basti and Rawd for the templates as always)
* Ball Size change to accommodate previous mod's slightly larger table size. (thanks Apophis)

* Many small tweaks and code clean-ups.
 

The physical X Files pinball machine is known for playing as a difficult shooter with tight shots and some brick shots that can catch you off guard.  This digital version replicates those tight shots in the inner orbits and ramps so expect some real satisfaction when you are able to hit those shots! 

Commendations:
Thanks to the original Sega team listed in the IPDB link.

Thanks to the original authors, JPSalas and Sliderpoint for a very solid recreation of this table.

Thanks to the VPW team, Studlygoorite (for the original vpx file) and the following testers: PinStratsDan, Apophis, PrimeTime5K, Sixtoe, Lumi, Smaug

Enjoy!

Help, please! 

 

The file cabinet doesn't register hits when "Multiball is ready". You can hit it before and it says "One more hit for MB" etc. but then  - nothing! This was also already the problem with the older "Hanibal 4k LED"version. 

 

Any suggestions? Thank you so much in advance.

Found the solution: 

 

For whatever reason, in the service menu the adjustment "file cabinet motor" was set to "disabled"!?! Enabling it, the file cabinet now works as it should to receive the ball to start multiball. 

 

I have no idea why the file cabinet motor would be "disabled" by default?! 

 

Anyway, problem solved, back to playing! 🙂
