Let me be the first to congratulate you on this gorgeous table.

[GordonJames]

Can someone tell me how to darken the top of the side rails? They're pretty bright and lowering the exposure of the rail tops in the image editor labeled "right and left rails brighter" in photoshop has zero effect on their brightness after i've re imported them into the image manager.

 

Thank you!!

Are you guys ever sleeping???? So great, thank you all for your hard work.

[Wylte]

@criptonite stuck when it drains how?  And what other places?

What version of VPX do you have?  Have you changed z-scale?

 

@TheRetroKing where by the Ringmaster is it sticking?  And by freezes, do you mean the game lags/slows?  That could be the geometry of that area making increased physics calculations; if your CPU was already borderline, I could see that tipping it over the edge.  Not sure about the more than one player issue, haven't heard that one yet, but I'd suspect a rom or input bug.

The bottom two

The provided nvram file could use some explanation in the description. What exactly do we need this for?

It's pre-initialized and set to count hits to the Ringmaster standup targets as hits to the RM himself

[Terrada]

Thanks for your work, always appreciated. I tried both files and only can get the backglass working, no DMD screen. I already checked that the Grill, DMD, and B2S DMD are VISIBLE in the B2S Backglass Server. Any help, please?

[RIJOSROBERTO]

any  alt sound for Voltaire?

Out of interest what are people using for their video settings in 10.8 - there are a huge amount of AA options which are new vs 10.7 and before
I'm running at 1080p with a 1070 and I can't ever quite seem to get the table looking as pretty as it does in some of the screenshots so I'm wondering if I'm missing a trick in the video options....

I see in the recent VPW releases some of the video settings are forced off in the table itself (AO etc) - I assume that's by design.

 

Another fabulous release though! I love CV - I think it's the only game I've ever hit the wizard mode in real life!

Try enabling DSR functionality in the NVIDIA control panel and choose the 3840 x 2160 resolution. Then apply that resolution on Windows (keep the size of text option at 100%) and VPX disabling all Supersampling, Post-processed AA, and Sharpen options. I don't know how much power has a 1070 card, but it works flawlessly in my 3060Ti. Also Take note that after changing your desktop resolution you must relocate your DMD, and backglass screens position, and the same with Pop-Up screens!

Firstly, this table is awesome, I've played it constantly since install...still suck at it though.

 

Is it possible to have the on table DMD colorized?  This is just a curious question.  Secondly, Is there a backglass that has the cannon function show graphically well?

The built in vpm dmd cannot be colored as yet but you can fake it pretty good using the external dmd. I made a glass texture that blends fairly well with the tables dmd cover so it looks kinda built in

Hello there!  I am not getting any sound on this table.  Volume is at 28 and enabled.  Running 10.8 Beta and Vpinmame 3.6 x64.  Any ideas?

NVM, figured it out.  Needed the Parent rom set also in the ROMS folder.

[reepee]

i have it working on my setup so yes color dmd is possible. Can't remember by now, but you have to get .pac dmd to work, search here on vpu, and find tutorial I use ultra dmd and flex also

found it this is pal file.

side note I only play VR, and it just put color dmd on when I use it first time no position setting up, but maybe you need that on DT and cabinet

I'm having random crashing on this.  On RC3, VPINMAME V3.6.0.929.8c5f83e.  I was also getting crashing on RC2.

[PapaPin]

Hi, I have issue with sounds on Circus Voltaire.

 

I had to use the altsound pack due to the stuttering original rom audio on events (Cactus Canyon do the same).

 

Now using the altsound pack, when locking a ball, the drum-roll sound is never ending until reaching again that ball lock place.

I appreciate if someone can point me how to fix the audio-stuttering AND/OR the drum-roll sound issue!

 

Thanks a lot!
