American Country VPX

---

This American Country Pinball table is a re-skin of AC/DC LUCI (Stern 2013) VPinWorkshop version 1.1. Original table by Stern Pinball.

 

I chose the AC/DC table for my Country Music mod for many reasons. I love the gameplay but sometimes I’m not in the mood for hard AC/DC music. Overall, I've tried to relax the game with country music and related sound effects while keeping the intense gameplay dynamics. I replaced the comical “abusive” AC/DC voice prompts with AI generated Johnny Cash voices. The toys map well to country music themes: Hells Bells to Liberty Bell, train to pickup truck, cannon to gun and so on. In the minigame the metaphor is you fight for freedom instead of against the devil. Instead of a Jukebox, there’s a Playlist with selected songs arranged as twelve different tags that span the themes found in Country Music. As a bonus I provide instructions to replace the Playlist with your own favorite songs.

Custom ROM

NOTE, you must use my custom version of acd_170.zip ROM

 

Beta Users: If you installed a preview version of this table that used acd_170hc rom, note that i changed it to acd_170, to avoid conflicts with people’s existing installations of AC/DC. 

 

The American Country VPX pinball game requires a custom version of the acd_170h ROM named to acd_170.zip. This is NOT the same as the acd_170 rom you might find elsewhere, I’m just repurposing the file name. 

 

The custom ROM includes sound effects, voices, and music clips. Legally you should get the original Stern ROM and modify it yourself, although I’ve provided a pre-made one (for your reference only 😉) in the downloads. See the CUSTOM ROM readme file for details and instructions. 

 

Why a Custom ROM? Typically, VPinMAME lets you replace ROM sounds using altsound. I was not able to get this to work with this Stern ROM (and from my research it may not be possible with the current version of VPinMAME), so instead I have written my sounds directly into the ROM file. (If I am wrong and you know a way to use altsound with this ROM please reach out to me and I’ll redo this!). Thus, I’m using the acd_170 ROM name.

 

Enjoy!
