VPinWorkshop Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 View File Ripley's Believe It or Not! (Stern 2004) VPW Mod Beleive it or not, this VPW mod was started in June 2020! Based on the JPSalas version, this is one of the very first mods VPW attempted and has probably gone through more versions and more sets of hands than any other of our projects before, every time getting updated with whatever we were doing but never actually making it to release. Finally mcarter78 finally accepted the mission of getting it over the line and out the door, and here we are! (finally!) VPW Oddities ============ - mcarter78 - Project lead (well, the latest one anyway) - iaakki - Loads of stuff - Benji - Loads of early developement stuff - Sixtoe - All sorts of things - Apophis - Code & Tech support - RothbauerW - Varitarget support - Bord - Playfield mesh & physical scoop. - Hauntfreaks - Playfield image adjustments, cabinet and backglass images. - TastyWasps - VR Room and tweaks - PT5K - Staged flipper support - Ebislit - Early Insert work - Kingdids - Stern Bumpercaps - Kevv - Stripping and scanning his RBION for plastics - Wylte - Getting irl references - Passion4Pins - Additional graphics help - VPW team through the years - Testing - JPSalas - Original Version All options are available from in game menu accessed pressing F12 Submitter VPinWorkshop Submitted 02/12/24 Category VPX - Pinball Tables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomiKamu Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Same in 64 bits (script crash - noticed after F3 press after ROM parameter set-up). Can be reproduced by hitting F3 key. Also: - Plunger is badly calibrated (largely too strong), in comparison with real machine! - Vari-target is too strong, too, it's nearly impossible to send the ball in the hole located behind the vari-target. It's a nice table, however, but hope the @VPinWorkshop team will fix it. Edited February 13 by DomiKamu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I own a ripleys and I can tell you it's nearly impossible to calibrate the machine to consistently go up to the top lanes. The rail adjustment is blocked by the post so you can't really get it to the right angle. I spent hours trying to adjust the rail and couldn't get it to do it reliably. Even when I do rarely get one to go to the top lanes it's really slow and barely gets there. I get more roll backs than anything else. Everyone goes for the skill shots though as they are incredibly valuable on this machine so I stopped futzing with it. Other than the plunge the game plays very similarly to mine. My slings are a bit weaker but the speed of the game is dead on. The kick out from the main scoop could be a bit too hard as it should settle on the right flipper after bouncing from the left. It's quite close though. Maybe it played like the vpx version when it was new but not these days I didn't find the vari-target hard to hit at all. Really nice work on this version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiftythreefly Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 COPIED FROM COMMENT SECTION: table loads up fine, can put coins and starts and plays, but no DMD, only mechanical sounds. It SOUNDS like there might be VERY quiet audio that might be from the rom, but still no DMD? Only this table seems to have this issue. tested my rom on pinmame 3.6 and it works great but i can't get the dmd to show. i've tried changing the f1 settings but it doesn't seem to even show anywhere on my screen. usually alt-tab shows it hidden somewhere else on the screen but it's no where to be found. i downloaded a new rom and still have the same issue and that new rom plays/shows fine in pinmame as well.

EDIT: Or set Alt Sound Mode to 1 if you are wanting to use the Altsound. Edited March 8 by xenonph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEXUS_RCF Posted March 8 Share Posted March 8 many thanks for your fast answer. it's ok now... it's hard to know between windows volume, rom volume, VPX and my ALP volume ... if one is off, you can't ear sounds or musics... I take care next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEXUS_RCF Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Hello, a lot of tables have to be tinkered with VPX 10.8 direct X for sound. With VPX gl, there are fewer problems. On the other hand, no F1 key, it crashes straight away. Perhaps the solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why someone above said all is good now without saying what they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
