Gottlieb's 1984 Alien Star! Journey to an Alien Star for a pinball battle in space! Multiball, skill shots, and plenty of fast action! So much fun to play! Thanks to Borgdog for providing original playfield and plastic scans, cabinet stencils, and physical measurements of his actual table. He also had lots of authentic Gottlieb primitives to use, and did a tremendous amount of testing! Thanks also to @redbone who took those scans of the playfield and plastics and did a tremendous amount of work to get them to look so good! He also spent a ton of time with all the other graphics on the table as well as a ton of testing! Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass. DarthVito did the VR wall environment. In Version 3.0.0 (May 2025), I started the table over completely from scratch, as the prior version had incorrect table dimensions, wrong VR cab size, and lots of other things that needed updating. I updated to the latest VPW (2025) standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. I baked the GI, AND the metal walls, interior wood walls, spinner, plastic posts, and the reflections on them. Redbone further updated the playfield, the plastics, apron, and other images. Thanks to Borgdog for original playfield scans, image assets, and cab stencils. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos, many of which were done by Borgdog, to match the table skill shots and action. This table is loaded with options in the F12; including various balls, room brightness, flippers, tents, screw caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, Dip settings, side wall colors, special Mother of Pearl solid inserts, and plenty of other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. The ROM can be found at pinballnirvana.com... alienstr.zip). Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Gottlieb for 3 balls. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options. Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play. The default ROM has that set to off. I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Gottlieb's recommendation (600,000 and 1,400,000). Also, there are settings in the menu to set replays, sound, and HSTD. All this has been done for you in the included nvram file. I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself. There's also an option for "Tourney Mode". In that mode it'll play a little harder with different DIP settings, which excludes extra ball... and only allows for points on 3 balls. Tourney mode also sets colors and rainbow'ed LEDs on plastics. NOTE: you'll have to start and restart the first time in that mode for the DIP changes to take effect. If you want to change the DIPs... you will need to go into the script options and change SetDIPSwitches to 1, then open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options. Once entered, you can exit out, and restart. That will then set the new ROM settings. These are the default DIPS that are and set at original table launch: 1=Coin Chute same 0=3rd coin chute no effect 0=Game mode of replay for hitting threshold 1=Number of balls = 3 0=Unlimited number of replays can be earned per game 1=Playfield Special of extra ball (Tourney mode this is zero) 0=Novelty of normal game mode (Tourney mode this set to 1) 1=Match feature 1=Background Sound Thanks again to Borgdog and Redbone for the playfield and plastic images, the stencils, the testing, and all the feedback! Also thanks to Hauntfreaks for the updated Backglass images. Also thanks to everyone else from the VPW team that provided testing and feedback!

I Added the VR conversions to Apollo 13 last year (2020), the version of the table that was modified was done by Balater (Thanks for the permission to mod!), originally done by Herweh, Fransisco666, and 32assassin. Over time several authors worked on the early versions of that table including, Thalamus, JP, DJRobX, Rothbauerw, Amgrim, ClarKent, Chucky87, agentEight6, and Bigus1. I also used the dark image from chucky87's backglass file and imported into the table for use in VR. That mod done in 2020 had several updates specifically for VR, and other light mods. Sixtoe assisted at that time as well. Also, Retro27 added a topper and a few other VR updates and I animated the backglass for VR as well. Since that time I added several more updates, including nFozzy and Roth physics and flippers, Fleep sounds, several physics updates to the table, slings, and bumpers. A few other modifications were done as well to the sounds, playfield, and other adjustments. Thanks to Bord for posting tutorial videos. Also thanks to the VPW team for their help and examples. I also added dynamic shadows done by Iakki, Apophis, and Wylte. The latest update, Version 2.0, includes so many fixes and updates. I've corrected the number of balls coming out of the rocket during multiball, as well as the rocket timing, and subway trough. The ramp behind the moon now works for the orbiter and moon gravity missions, the trap door for the 8-ball lock is animated, fixed the slings, and added holes under the sling movements. Also the left spinner lane didn't send the ball into the upper saucer. That is now corrected. I've also added 16 switchable LUTs. Then, several members from the VPW team jumped in and made this table so amazing. What a great group! Thank you all! oqqsan: Added Flupper dome lights and flashers. Also fixed the ball stuttering when the moon rotated with the ball. Tomate: created new ramps and textures (they look so real!) Also wire ramps, posts, gates, apron, missing materials in some screws, and other stuff. Skitso: redid the GI lighting, spot lights and inserts. Also warmed the LUT a bit. Sixtoe: Did some visual updates to the ball, moon, rocket, and plastic ramp Apophis: Updated the playfield image for alpha cutouts for Lampz inserts. Added Lampz code, and new inserts. Updated some flipper nudge physics. Corrected the triangularization dynamic shadow effects, removed the subway ball shadows, and lowered the number of dynamic sources. Sheltemke: Provided an updated translite image for the backglass. It's now included in the VR version, and Wildman created a new b2s file. Also, modified the text on the inserts to a text flasher to make it more readable. RIK, Fluffhead35, Lumi, and Wylte all tested and provided feedback. Wylte: Updated the ball shadow code to not turn on when in subways, and other optimizations. Also modified for better performance. Separated dynamic and ambient ball shadow options, and added lockbar key as plunger alternative. This table is a hybrid release, so it will work on desktop, cabinet, and VR. OPTIONS: Options can be selected in the script to change to desktop, cabinet, or VR mode. For VR mode, there's an option for two different room environments, and to add a clock on the wall. Also... VR users... the Dynamic Shadows performance issue has been corrected. However, if you still experience performance issues, you can turn off dynamic shadows or ambient shadows or both in the script. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! And thanks again to Balater, retro27, Sixtoe, oqqsan, tomate, skitso, apophis, sheltemke, RIK, Fluffhead35, Lumi, and Wylte, and the entire team of authors that have contributed to this table over time. If I missed anyone in the credits, let me know, and I'll add, as I don't mean to miss anyone. -

Gottlieb's Super Orbit! Lots of fun to play, with a varitarget, orbits, and lots of bonus opportunities. Redbone spent considerable time to get the playfield and plastic images just right, as resources for this table were very limited. As usual lots of hours were put in on this one, and lots of tweaking on the varitarget and physics to emulate a real machine. I implemented the latest VPW standards, physics, GI and shadow baking, Lampz and 3D inserts, dynamic shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth standup and varitarget targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, gBOT system and trough. Redbone provided the playfield and updated the plastics and apron, and other images. Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass and Silversurfer updated the cab artwork. I also added options for balls, ball brightness, LUTs, Dip settings, siderails, and plenty of other VR stuff. DarthVito provided a few additional wallpaper VR Room walls. You can find the ROM at pinballnirvana.com... sorbit.zip. Also, I've included the nvram file to initially set the Dips, as the ROM creates settings that should be adjusted. You can either grab the nvram file and put it in your nvram directory, or follow this process to do an initial setup for yourself. (When you open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options, and I recommend these shown below. Once entered, you can exit out, and in the script, you can set the SetDIPSwitches to zero. That will set the ROM settings and turn off the option. If you later want to change that, you can turn it back on and change the dips.) - 3 ball - Playfield special of "extra ball" - Game mode of "replay" - Novelty of "normal" - Check the Match, Credits Thanks again to Redbone for the playfield and plastic images, Rothbauerw for the varitarget code, Hauntfreaks for the updated VR Backglass, DarthVito for additional VR walls, and Silversurfer for the cab art images!

Let the Sorcerer work a little magic for you! I've done a few versions of this table in the past, as well as other authors. The past versions I did built on older versions. Apophis reached out to me that the physics weren't quite right on the other tables, as he plays one a lot in the arcade. So, I completely overhauled the table to version 4.0 and essentially started from scratch, reusing only a few primitives. Redbone worked a new playfield, plastics, and other graphics for me. I did a full implementation of current VPW standards, physics, targets, 3D inserts, playfield mesh, VR, hybrid, baked GI lighting, shadows, etc. There's an F12 menu with some options in there. Also thanks also to Primetime5k, who helped me get staged flippers implemented and tested. Note: a new alternate gsound was recently released, however if you choose to use that, the ROM volume option needs to be at 0... which is default. However is you don't use gsound, I recommend turning that ROM volume down to -12 or something... as it can get a bit annoying if too loud. Also, you can turn off the background sound. Instructions for that and others are at the bottom of the script, however, here's the instructions as well: ROM Instructions and example to turn off background sound Start table as usual Press (8) to get into ROM menu Press (7) to start correct advancement Press (8) several times until 04 is shown in the Credit Display. 'Auto-Up / Manual-Down switch is controlled by (7) Press (8) repeatedly until you get to the adjustment number desired. For example, background sound is defaulted to on. It is adjustment number 35. You'll see a 1 in the upper left display. Press (1) to change that value. To turn off sound, set the value to 0. Note: Press (7) to reverse the advancement up or down. (9) will exit/reset Note: Auto-Up / Manual-Down (7) also controls the direction the menus will advance Enjoy, and hopefully you also feel that the physics and table play much harder, and closer to the actual table. Thanks again to Redbone, apophis, and Primetime5k, as well as the VPW team for testing.

View File Supersonic (Bally 1979) Supersonic (Bally 1979) is a fun, challenging, widely successful table that Bally produced 10,340 machines. A popular theme with some challenging shots, and lots of bonus opportunities. Be careful, as it is very drain and outlane hungry. @redbone utilized playfield images off the web to come up with a properly sized playfield that looks amazing. I then built the table from scratch, using a prior table I did, Voltan, as a basis. I've done my best to get all the physics and shots to match videos off the web. I also redid the spinner logic to match the majority of tables I could find. It plays very close to the real table. As usual, all the latest VPW standards for physics, GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, playfield mesh, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, default and optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. In addition to the playfield, Redbone also updated the plastics, apron, and spinner images. Lot of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. Thanks to hauntfreaks for also providing the backglass images. There are plenty of options in the F12 menu, including ball choices, flipper colors, spinners, targets, screw caps, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls and harder play. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options. Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play. The default ROM has that set to off. I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Bally's recommendation (120,000 and 260,000). If you don't care... don't use the nvram file. I also have instructions in the script on how to change that. Another ROM NOTE: The ROM I've chosen to use is the updated 7 digit score display. (The original had 6 digits... but as people got better, they could "flip" the score, and not know how high they got). Anyway, you NEED the 7 digit ROM, sstb.zip, to play... and depending on where you download the ROM from, some will require you to also have sst.zip as well. So, players will need both sst.zip and sstb.zip if they are sourcing from VPU. Other downloads may not.

Everyone goes to his final reward eventually. And few ever escape. Either way, their money ALWAYS remains behind in Catacomb - the thrilling pin game from Stern. Having a player controlled action-packed backglass, combined with a super fast playfield, Catacomb demands the ultimate in refined skills and cunning strategy. What numbers should be picked? What colors must be chosen? Only seconds to decide... as a simulated voice alerts the player to his options. Thanks to Hauntfreaks for providing me with a freshly scanned playfield, and thanks to Redbone for helping with various upscales and graphics cleanup, and lots of other graphic updates. The whole table was done utilizing latest VPW standards for physics, lighting, GI baking, 3D inserts, playfield mesh, shadows, drop targets, 3D inserts, etc. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. I've included default settings for the ROM options, as well as being able to change the ROM sounds in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). Also, if you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. Ball options are also available in the script. All other options (including VR rooms) are in the F12 menu. I reused the code from the prior HSM/lander table, as it was required to work with the B2S functionality. However it's been updated, AND if you are a VR user, I've created the backglass to be fully 3D and functional.

So you wanna mouse around! This table was originally done by Herwey, and he gave me the permission to add all the latest physics, sounds, etc. to this fun table. Thank you very much, Herwey! On his version 1.1 he had help from several others including Schreibi, OldSkoolGamer, ICPjuggla, Cosmic80, Flupper, JPSalas, 32assassin, Sliderpoint, Ninuzzu, Dark, DJRobX, TTTTTWii, Bork and Thalamus. I did quite a few updates in version 2.0 mentioned below (and detailed in the vpx script), essentially getting up to the latest VPW physics and sounds, and other corrections. Also thanks to Rothbauerw, PinStratsDan, Bord, Tomate, Sixtoe, Thalamus, and Benji for improvements, testing, and feedback on the 2.0 version! If you are playing in VR... you MUST select VR_Room = 1 in the script!! There are several options to select in the script, including ball brightness, color mods, GI and Flasher options, VR Room, VR clock, VR posters, VR topper. Color mods and flippers can be changed by clicking the right and left magna save buttons. (You can turn that off in the script as well) IF YOU experience performance issues... there are options to change that. First of all, you can uncheck "Reflect Elements on Playfield in the table options window. Also, you can turn dynamic shadows off for additional performance if needed. Version 2.0 Updates include: - Implemented the table to a hybrid (desktop, cab, and VR), and has options for ball brightness. - Added VR to include an animated backglass (image from Wildman), and several VR options (room, poster, clock, topper). - The table and flipper physics have been updated to the latest VPW standards, as well as dynamic shadows, drop targets, ramprolling sounds, and several other tweaks. - Fleep sounds added, as well as relay sounds. - Added Flupper dome and Flupper bumpers. - Adjusted the flippers to be actual size, and tweaked the flipper physics. - Corrected a couple errors in the table, as the million lights didn't light up correctly, and a few other things. - Adjusted the lighting levels some. - Rothbauerw corrected some code to control the motorbank correctly, as there were cases it wouldn't move or impact nvram. He also helped correct some other trap code issues. - Tomate added new plastic ramps and textures. - Enhanced performance as much as I could by removing all getballs calls and no longer destroy and recreate balls. I implemented only the gBOT global call. - Updated the trough code to manage all balls on the table. - Updated some images to implement see through holes in the apron and back wall. - And several other updates, all documented in the script. Once again thank you to Herwey, Rothbauerw, PinStratsDan, Bord, Tomate, Sixtoe, Thalamus, and Benji for improvements, testing, and feedback!! -

Gottlieb's Race Thru Space! Another extended wide-body machine like Circus. Lots of fun to play, two Varitargets, a hard to hit bonus saucer, and fast loops. Redbone had been working on getting the playfield to a much better state, and reached out to me to see if I'd like to create the table from it. It was very similar to physics, style, etc. from the Circus table that I just worked on, so I got to work. Lots of hours were put in on this one, and lots of tweaking on the Varitargets to emulate a real machine. As usual, I updated to latest VPW standards, physics, GI and shadow baking, Lampz and 3D inserts, dynamic shadows, updated backglass for desktop, playfield mesh for a saucer bevel, roth drop and standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, varitargets, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, gBOT system and trough. Redbone provided the playfield and updated the plastics and apron, also provided some ambient sounds. Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass and cab artwork. I also added options for balls, ball brightness, LUTs, Dip settings, ambient sounds, siderails, and plenty of other VR stuff. Hauntfreaks even provided a fun space themed wallpaper VR Room walls. I've included an option for two ROMS (you can find them at pinballnirvana.com... starrac7 and starrace). The original 6 digit ROM, and a 7 digit ROM (so when you score over a million you can see it). There's an option in the script to change that, however I've defaulted to the 7 digit. Make sure to grab the correct backglass if you are in a cab environment. Hauntfreaks just released the corresponding backglasses. I've included the nvram files to initially set the Dips, as the ROM creates settings that should be adjusted. You can either grab those nvram files and put them in your nvram directory, or follow this process to do an initial setup for yourself. (When you open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options, and I recommend these shown below. Once entered, you can exit out, and in the script, you can set the SetDIPSwitches to zero. That will set the ROM settings and turn off the option. If you later want to change that, you can turn it back on and change the dips.) - 3 ball, Playfield special of "extra ball" - Game mode of "replay" - Novelty of "normal" - Tilt of "ball in play" - Check the Match, Credits, Sound when scoring - AND most importantly, "Scoring Sounds Only". Again note... the background sounds from this era can get kind of annoying... especially if you have a good bass speaker in your cab. Make sure to follow the above procedure for turning the sounds option to "Scoring Sounds Only". Thanks again to Redbone for the playfield and plastic images, the space sound, and Hauntfreaks for the updated Backglass, and cab art images! Also thanks to Rothbauerw for his linear target code, bietekwiet, passion4pins, and everyone else from the VPW team that provided feedback! -

A version of Laser Cue VPX was originally done by Goldchicco, however in this release, most everything was done or redone once again, as the original table size was incorrect, and the playfield he used was high rez, but wasn't aligned correctly. This required me to completely redo everything like I did on Jungle Lord and Barracora. Thank you to Hauntfreaks for helping with the initial playfield image. He used his magic to get it upscaled and enhanced. I then got the text looking good, as well as various color mods. This is another early 80's Williams table like Black Knight, Solar Fire, Jungle Lord, Pharaoh, etc. This has a very basic ruleset, but good game play, Table instructions are included in the Table info section. Laser Cue is a four flipper game from 1984, and features an unusual “billiards in space”, science-fiction theme. The game is equipped with a bell that rings when billiard balls are collected or extra balls achieved. The main bank of drop targets are individually controlled, and must be collected in the indicated order to remain dropped. Extra ball play guarantees the player twenty-five seconds of play time, serving all lost balls within that time back to the shooter lane. (excerpt from Pinside). Since the table is basic, there were essentially two ways the table was set up to play... easy and hard. I have it defaulted to HARD. There is an option in the script to make it easy. (Easy mode adds a rail between the right two flippers. const FlipperGuideHard = "0" is the easy setting, and adds a guard rail between right flippers. "1" removes it. (Default is "1" / hard). Included in this Version 2.0 is Hybrid VR/desktop/cabinet modes, new upscaled playfield and plastics, VPW physics, flipper tricks, dynamic shadows, Fleep sounds, Lampz, 3D inserts, new general illumination lighting, sling corrections, drop and stand-up targets, etc. Significant time was spent on researching online videos, to ensure accuracy of shots, ball drops, and overall playability. I also created a desktop backglass with a cool lighting effect, as well as the VR backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements. I would like to thank the VPW team for testing and feedback (especially Hauntfreaks, Apophis, Tastywasps, PinStratsDan and all others who tested!) Also thanks for prior assistance on items used in this table, including Tomate (lower rail prim), Goldchicco, and the rest of the VPW team! There are several options in the script. Including VR, ball brightness, LUT lighting options, and you can turn the bell off if you don't like that sound. Also, you can set the difficulty level, and the volume of the bell. The LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave. This is a hybrid table done in VPX 10.72, and I have code in here to automatically choose between VR, desktop, and cabinet. Additional options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, a topper, posters, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit. Thanks again to the VPW team for feedback!- 21 comments

New Wave was a conversion kit done by Bell Games in 1985; utilizing a full reuse of Black Pyramid. Since I just finished Black Pyramid, it was very straightforward to use that as a baseline for the New Wave conversion kit. @redbone spent a lot of time getting the playfield, plastics, bumpers, targets, and other images just right. He was able to utilize some prior work that @cyberpez did as well. I've included TONS of options in there, as it was a kit, and it appears that lots of different items could be installed. Also Cyberpez requested I add some options he was working on years ago. So, there are alternate plastics, bumpers, flippers, targets, rollovers, rollover lights, led edge lighting, and lots of ball choices... including a few glowballs. All changeable in the F12 menu. I was also able to reuse some work that was done on the cabinet for VR and the backglass. I think Devious626 did lots of that work in the past. And hauntfreaks did some effort in the past on the backglass. Those images have been incorporated as well. I implemented the latest VPW standards for physics, GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth drop and standup targets, a swinging target, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, default and optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Redbone also updated the plastics, target images, and bumpers. Lots of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. There are options included in this table via the F12 menu including colors for balls, flippers, screws, LED plastics, rollovers and lights, bumpers, plastics, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). Please NOTE on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. Also NOTE: Just like Black Pyramid, Bally recommends to ensure that the self-test position settings for the ROM menu items for 16,17,18,19 are set to "03". Here is the procedure to do this. I've included the nvram in the zip file as well, so if you want to bypass that step and use it instead. Here is the procedure to set the self-test positions on this Bally 35 MPU table: 1. Press 7 to enter test mode. Continue to repeatedly press 7 until you see 01 appear in the ball in play/match display 2. Press and HOLD the 1 key until it reaches the value you want to set it to (start with 16). The value will increase by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. If you happen to go past the value you want to set it to, while holding in the 1 key press and release the 7 key. The value will then decrement by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. When you reach the value you want, release the 1 key. Set the value to 03. 3. Repeat pressing 7 to scroll the remainder of the settings (17,18,19) and change values to 03 in the similar manner. 4. Press F3 to save your changes and reset the table.

Enjoy a Test of Champions on the Playfield of Combat in Bally Midway's exciting Four-Player Pinball Kings of Steel! Thanks to Redbone for cleaning up the playfield from the original scan from TAB, as well as target, bumper, and backwall images. Also thanks to apophis and the VPW team for feedback and testing. Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass. DarthVito did the VR wall environment. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO CHANGE 4 SELFTEST POSTIONS IN THE ROM FOR SPECIAL REPLAY/X-BALL/NOVELTY MODES!!!! Here is the procedure to set the selftest postions on this Bally 35 MPU table: 1. Press 7 to enter test mode. Continue to repeatedly press 7 until you see 01 appear in the ball in play/match display 2. Press and HOLD the 1 key until it reaches the value you want to set it to. The value will increase by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. If you happen to go past the value you want to set it to, while holding in the 1 key press and release the 7 key. The value will then decrement by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. When you reach the value you want, release the 1 key. 3. Repeat pressing 7 to scroll the remainder of the settings and change values in the similar manner. 4. Press F3 to save your changes and reset the table. Here are the recommended values to change to: 16: 02 - Special is extra ball (01 is 50,000, 03 is replay) 17: 02 - Special is extra ball (01 is 50,000, 03 is replay) 18: 03 19: 03 - High Score to date earns 3 credits (00 is 0; 01 is 1; 02 is 2) I updated to latest VPW standards, physics, GI VLM, and shadow baking, 3D inserts, Alllamps insert routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, playfield mesh for a saucer bevel, roth drop and standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, gBOT system and trough. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and action. If you want to change the DIPs... you will need to go into the script options and change SetDIPSwitches to 1, then open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options. Once entered, you can exit out, and restart. That will then set the new ROM settings.

Voltan Escapes Cosmic Doom (Bally 1979) is a fun, fast table that Bally only produced 365 machines. A weird, fun theme with some challenging shots, and a very hungry drain and outlane play. Hauntfreaks reached out to me some time ago about updating Voltan. It ended up being behind in my queue of other tables I was doing, and I finally got to doing this table. What a cool, fun table! @redbone utilized playfield images off the web to come up with a properly sized playfield that looks amazing after all the updates he did! I then built the table from scratch, using a few primitives that Bord had from some work he did years ago on this. I've done my best to get all the physics and shots to match videos off the web. As usual, all the latest VPW standards for physics, GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, default and optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Redbone also updated the plastics, target, and spinner images. Lot of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. Thanks to hauntfreaks for also providing the backglass images, as well as some initial VR cabinet images. Also... redbone was toying with SSF and noticed that sounds were right for SSF, so Apophis and I were able to successfully find that there's a small bug in the VPW script for audiopan and audiofade routines. Now for those of you with SSF, it should sound great! As usual, there are plenty of options in the F12 menu, and redbone also made an ambiance background sound file to play if you choose. Other options include colors for balls, flippers, screws, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). Please NOTE on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM Dip Switch options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls and harder play.

Thank you to 32assassin for giving me permission to update this table! Also thank you to the VPW team for testing (especially Thalamus, Apophis, Bord, Rothbaurerw, leojreimroc, Sixtoe, and PinStratsDan)! Pharaoh (Williams 1981) is one of the four double playfield machines designed by Williams in 1980-81 (others are Black Knight, Jungle Lord and Solar Fire). It heavily uses the magna saves, and has lots of drop targets and other things to shoot for. Like Solar Fire, the captive ball is a tough shot, and there are other "tombs" that you can shoot the ball into. Updates in Version 2.0 done by UnclePaulie. Added VR, Desktop, and cab hybrid modes. Updated physics, drop targets, flippers, dynamic shadows, and lots of other updates to the VPW standards. Also added 3D inserts, updated lighting, the latest VPW physics, sounds, sling corrections and GI brightness and fading routines. Some other various fixes done. I also updated the desktop backglass as well as the VR animated backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements, and I added a playfield mesh for upper and lower playfields, so there's a realistic bevel in the saucers. There are several options in the script. Including VR, ball brightness, and LUT lighting options. Since this table heavily relies on the usage of the magnasave buttons, the LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave. This is a hybrid table, and it will automatically choose between desktop and cabinet, however, if you are playing in VR, you MUST change VR_Room to 1 in the script. Additional options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit, Thanks to everyone that helped!- 50 comments

The legend known as Black Pyramid lives again through the far corners of Bally's 1984 pinball machine! This is a great play and challenging table. The main goal is to achieve 10,000,000 points to get a free game according to several reviews of game play. A good overview of the rules can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEZIFjQppR4 This was a definite challenge to create as there wasn't a good playfield available, however thanks to @redbone for spending countless hours creating a playfield from various images on the web. And thanks to Apophis for helping me with various Blender techniques to obtain a solid VLM GI bake, as well as physics testing. I was able to utilize various images, videos, and Redbone's playfield to get accurate placement of everything, and then implemented the latest VPW standards for physics, GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, Roth drop and standup targets, a swinging target, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, default and optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Redbone also updated the plastics, target images, and bumpers. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. Significant time was also spent on implementing a center swinger target solution to be a combination of Roth standup targets and the swinger target approach done by Loserman on Space Oddesy. There are options included in this table via the F12 menu including colors for balls, flippers, screws, LED plastics, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu.

If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. Also NOTE: Bally recommends to ensure that the self-test position settings for the ROM menu items for 16,17,18,19 are set to "03". I recommend doing immediately when you first launch the game. Here is the procedure to set the self-test positions on this Bally 35 MPU table: Press 7 to enter test mode. Continue to repeatedly press 7 until you see 01 appear in the ball in play/match display Press and HOLD the 1 key until it reaches the value you want to set it to (start with 16).

A version of Elektra VPX was originally done by 32assassin and artwork by Fancisco666. However in this release, images of the playfields and plastics were obtained off the web, and upscaled and cleaned up by redbone. Since the hole placements were different, there was lots of effort to move, resize, and edit most of all the elements. This is a really fun table to play... as it was the first pinball machine that had three different levels to it. Included in this Version 2.0 is Hybrid VR/desktop/cabinet modes, new upscaled playfields, VPW physics, flipper tricks, dynamic shadows, Fleep sounds, Lampz, 3D inserts, new baked general illumination lighting, sling corrections, drop and stand-up targets, saucers, playfield meshes, various primitives, etc. Significant time was spent on researching online videos, to ensure accuracy of shots, ball drops, kickouts, and overall playability. I also created a desktop backglass with a cool lighting effect, as well as the VR backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements, and I added a playfield mesh for the playfield, so there's a realistic bevel in the saucers. I would like to thank redbone for the graphics help, and Tomate for working the 4 ramps into blender with collision and textures. He also baked them in as well. And thank you to iaakki for baking in all the GI lighting and shadows. It looks so relistic!! And I would additional like to thank the VPW team for testing and feedback, especially Apophis, PinStratsDan, Sixtoe, BountyBob, TastyWasps, leojreimroc, and Bord. There are several options in the script. Including VR, ball brightness, and LUT lighting options. The LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave. The Dip Switch settings are done in the script and are hardcoded. IF... you want to change them, there's a setting in the script to manually override that, and then use F6 during gameplay to bring up the Dip Switch setting. This is a hybrid table done in VPX 10.74, and I have code in here to automatically choose between VR, desktop, and cabinet. Additional VR options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, a topper, posters, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit. Thanks again to Redbone, Tomate, iaakki, and the VPW team! There are two great b2s's out there... one by Wildman (https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/4963-elektra-bally-1981/), and one by Hauntfreaks if you would like the full dmd version (https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/12470-elektra-bally-1981-prototype-b2s-with-full-dmd/). I used Wildman's image in the VR backglass. -

This table was originally done by Herwey, and he gave me the permission to add all the latest physics, sounds, etc. to this fun table. Thank you very much, Herwey! On his version 1.1 he had help from several others including Schreibi, 32assassin, OldSkoolGamer, Cosmic80, Bord, Rosve, Batch, Vogliadicane, Flupper, Ninuzzu, Dark, DJRobX, and Thalamus. I did quite a few updates in version 2.0 mentioned below (and detailed in the vpx script), essentially getting up to the latest VPW physics, lights, and sounds, and other corrections. This was the first table I put the 3D inserts in (Thanks to apophis for his tutorial, feedback, and advice!). Also thank you to all the testers on the VPW team for testing, feedback, and suggestions for improvement: nFozzy, apophis, Aubrel, Wylte, Rik, Rajo Joey, iaaki, BountyBob, rothbauerw, tomate, PinStratsDan, and Lumi! Note: If you are playing in VR... you MUST select VR_Room = 1 in the script!! There are several options to select in the script, including ball brightness, color mods, GI and Flasher options, VR Room, VR clock, VR posters, VR topper. Sub mods and flippers can be changed by clicking the right and left magna save buttons. (You can turn that option off in the script as well) IF YOU experience performance issues... there are options to change that. First of all, you can uncheck "Reflect Elements on Playfield in the table options window. Also, you can turn dynamic shadows off for additional performance if needed. Version 2.0 Updates include: - Implemented the table to a hybrid (desktop, cab, and VR), and has options for ball brightness. - Added VR to include an animated backglass (image from Wildman), and several VR options (room, poster, clock, topper). (Thanks to Sixtoe's VR templates). Also animated all the flippers, plunger, etc. - The table and flipper physics have been updated to the latest VPW standards, as well as dynamic shadows, drop targets, standup targets, ramprolling sounds, and several other tweaks. - Fleep sounds added, as well as relay sounds. - Added Flupper domes. - Adjusted the flippers to be actual size, and tweaked the flipper physics. - Added 3D insert primitives and tuned the lighting significantly for those. Lots of work on the playfield cutouts, and associated text layer. - Changed lamp control to VPW Lampz. - Corrected some errors in the table, including spinner movement, rebounder action, some ramp lift code, timing on saucer entry, and a few other things. - Adjusted the lighting levels, and GI overhead. - Tomate added new Bally Flipper primitives, wall textures, and fixed an issue with the ramp lift primitive... as it wasn't built correctly in blender. - Enhanced performance as much as I could by removing all getballs calls and no longer destroy and recreate balls. I implemented only the gBOT global call. - Updated the trough code to manage all balls on the table. - Updated some images to implement see through holes in the apron and sub. - Created new background for desktop mode, with animated lighting. - Added updated center drain post dome from Bord's space shuttle (done by Rothbauerw). - And so many other updates, all documented in the script. Once again thank you to Herwey, nFozzy, apophis, Aubrel, Wylte, Rik, Rajo Joey, iaaki, BountyBob, rothbauerw, tomate, PinStratsDan, and Lumi for testing, and feedback!! -

Bally's Safe Cracker combines pinball and board games! The goal is to advance to the board game for a chance to break into the safe while avoiding obstacles along the way. Players spin and stop the safe dial to determine how many spaces to advance. The player can collect winnings and resume playing pinball after each dial spin, or spin again and risk losing it all. Players must risk it all for a chance to break into the bank vault and win the token award. The original 1.0 version was done by fuzzel, flupper1, rothbauerw; with the VR room originally being done by b4ast1. Apophis requested that I update the table with an updated playfield scan from EBisLit, and include all the new VPW code, 3D inserts, hybrid mode, physics, drop, standup, and vari-targets, bumpers, flashers, playfield mesh, fleep sounds, etc. Redbone further cleaned the playfield up, as well as some other images. I was able to bake the GI lights using blender light maps to make it look as real as possible (thanks for teaching me, apophis!), as well as implementing a pwm approach to the fading. I've also included other VR rooms, a topper, a flasher/siren, and F12 options. I reused the ramps and other prims from fuzzel's table, as well several pieces of code from rothbauerw. Other options in the script include a constant called, "useownb2s". If you set this to 1, you will turn off the desktop built in backglass. This is for desktop users that want to use a b2s backglass, not the built in one. MAGIC TOKENs... if you win the board game, the table will issue you a magic token (you'll see the coin roll down). How the ROM works... is the next game played will force you to use the magic token/s that you've won, and you play a 4 ball multiball for 90 seconds. Awesome! But you need to earn the tokens... REQUIREMENTS: ROMs: You will need two ROMs: A percentaging version is for the number of tokens issued is limited based on the game's earnings, and in a home environment you want to be able to obtain tokens.

Laser War! This table was originally done by Herwey (with help from others noted in the script), and he gave me the permission to add all the latest physics, sounds, etc. to this fun table. Thank you very much, Herwey! It's a fun yet challenging table. Testers have indicated that the balls falling to the drain is tough, but acts identical to a real table. So, you might need to work on your nudging technique to save the ball from draining. I did quite a few updates in version 2.0 mentioned below (and detailed in the vpx script), essentially getting up to the latest VPW physics and sounds, 3D inserts, and other corrections, and making it a hybrid table (desktop, cabinet, and VR). Also thank you to all the testers on the VPW team for testing, feedback, and suggestions for improvement: Tomate (fixed ramp and wall primitives), Sixtoe (upper right wall placement), leojreimroc (VR backglass enhancements), and then AstroNasty, PinStratsDan, Smaug, and Rajo Joey for testing and feedback! If you are playing in VR... you MUST select VR_Room = 1 in the script!! Desktop and Cabinet mode should be automatic. There are several options to select in the script, including ball brightness, sidewalls and blades, color mods, GI and Flasher options, VR Room, VR clock, VR posters, VR topper. GI mods and ramp color can be changed by clicking the right and left magna save buttons if you have that option on in the script as well. IF YOU experience performance issues... there are options you can try to change that. First of all, you can uncheck "Reflect Elements on Playfield in the table options window. Also, you can turn dynamic shadows off for additional performance if needed. Also, you can turn off In-Game AO, Post-proc AA, and 4xAA on the table options. Version 2.0 Updates include: - Implemented the table to a hybrid (desktop, cab, and VR), and has options for ball brightness. - Added VR to include an animated backglass (image from Wildman), and several VR options (room, poster, clock, topper). (Thanks to Sixtoe's VR templates). Also animated all the flippers, plunger, etc. And thanks to leojreimroc for backglass enhancements. - The table and flipper physics have been updated to the latest VPW standards, as well as dynamic shadows, standup targets, ramprolling sounds, sling corrections, and several other tweaks. - Fleep sounds added, as well as relay sounds. - Added Flupper domes. - Adjusted the flippers to be actual size, and tweaked the flipper physics. - Added 3D insert primitives and tuned the lighting significantly for those. Lots of work on the playfield cutouts, and associated text layer. - Changed lamp control to VPW Lampz. - Corrected some errors in the table. - Adjusted the lighting levels, and GI overhead. - Tomate fixed an issue with the ramp and wall primitive... as it wasn't built correctly in blender. - Enhanced performance as much as I could by removing all getballs calls and no longer destroy and recreate balls. I implemented only the gBOT global call. - Updated the trough code to manage all balls on the table. - Created new background for desktop mode, with animated lighting. - And so many other updates, all documented in the script. Once again thank you to Herwey, the VPW team, especially Tomate, AstroNasty, Sixtoe, PinStratsDan, Smaug, leojreimroc, and Rajo Joey for testing, feedback, and some updates! -
View File New Wave (Bell Games 1985) New Wave was a conversion kit done by Bell Games in 1985; utilizing a full reuse of Black Pyramid. Since I just finished Black Pyramid, it was very straightforward to use that as a baseline for the New Wave conversion kit. @redbone spent a lot of time getting the playfield, plastics, bumpers, targets, and other images just right. He was able to utilize some prior work that @cyberpez did as well. I've included TONS of options in there, as it was a kit, and it appears that lots of different items could be installed. Also Cyberpez requested I add some options he was working on years ago. So, there are alternate plastics, bumpers, flippers, targets, rollovers, rollover lights, led edge lighting, and lots of ball choices... including a few glowballs. All changeable in the F12 menu. I was also able to reuse some work that was done on the cabinet for VR and the backglass. I think Devious626 did lots of that work in the past. And hauntfreaks did some effort in the past on the backglass. Those images have been incorporated as well. I implemented the latest VPW standards for physics, GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth drop and standup targets, a swinging target, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, default and optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Redbone also updated the plastics, target images, and bumpers. Lots of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. There are options included in this table via the F12 menu including colors for balls, flippers, screws, LED plastics, rollovers and lights, bumpers, plastics, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). Please NOTE on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. Also NOTE: Just like Black Pyramid, Bally recommends to ensure that the self-test position settings for the ROM menu items for 16,17,18,19 are set to "03". Here is the procedure to do this. I've included the nvram in the zip file as well, so if you want to bypass that step and use it instead. Here is the procedure to set the self-test positions on this Bally 35 MPU table: 1. Press 7 to enter test mode. Continue to repeatedly press 7 until you see 01 appear in the ball in play/match display 2. Press and HOLD the 1 key until it reaches the value you want to set it to (start with 16). The value will increase by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. If you happen to go past the value you want to set it to, while holding in the 1 key press and release the 7 key. The value will then decrement by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. When you reach the value you want, release the 1 key. Set the value to 03. 3. Repeat pressing 7 to scroll the remainder of the settings (17,18,19) and change values to 03 in the similar manner. 4. Press F3 to save your changes and reset the table.

Desktop backdrops: Adding or changing - The basics
Cliffy posted a tutorial in Visual Pinball - How Tos & Wikis
I'm one of the few hold-outs still running visual pinball on a single screen, aka desktop mode. Thankfully the majority of table authors still include a desktop option. Most will include a desktop backdrop or background but some do not. Some will simply have the table floating in black space. Backdrops are, in many cases, a personal preference thing while others are functional with the scoring displays "built-in". My goal here is to tackle the most basic how-to since I was helping another VPU user add a backdrop to loserman76's (rip) vpx table, Yukon Special. I will use this as the example in this tutorial. As we see it has only a solid gray backdrop with a single score reel. We can spice this up a bit with a nice image for the backdrop. I make my own backdrops either from scratch or by bashing together from other peoples backdrops. I prefer my backdrops to look like a room. I'm attaching one I think will look good for this game. Its got rustic wood floors and a barnwood back wall. You can use any image you like! Create your own to match your screen resolution. I started by using Image Manager built into Visual Pinball to export backdrop images from other tables. I have to throw some thanks out to guys like @32assassin , @batch, @hauntfreaks and many others who took the time to create some magnificent artworks and who also encourage me to create. I'll be using VPX 10.7.4-64bit but all current versions will work the same for this. I prefer using the 64 bit versions when editing as it tends to be robust. As always make backups of anything you want to save in case something goes sideways. I usually make a folder and name it WORKING under the table's folder. I also keep every game table in it's own folder but whatever you do, please make a backup first. As the narrator says in Bally's Creature from the Black Lagoon, "and now on with the show!" Read the text and follow the pics. Download my bd-plank-barnwood.png to your Yukon folder (or wherever you like, doesn't matter really as long as you'll be able to find it) Now open the table in edit mode and on the left click on the toggle backglass view button You should see the silhouette of a table in the middle surrounded by boxes- these are the score reels and lamps simulating the backglass. I will be using the directb2s instead so I will drag these lamps and reels off screen (the bounding box). To do this use your mouse and drag a selection area around the reels and lamps and then use your cursor keys to slide them off screen per pic attached. Note if they do not move they are locked so again select them all then click EDIT, LOCK. There is no unlock, it just toggles by color change (blue is unlocked, gray is locked) Once cleaned go to Table, Image Manager In image manager click on Import and then go to the folder that has the backdrop you just downloaded and select it. It will now show in the list of images and a preview will be on the right. Click OK. Now back in the editor you should click on the dropdown arrow where it says DT Image. Scroll to find the bd-plank-barnwood image. NOTE- for backdrops to be visible make sure the box for Enable Decals is checked. To get an idea of what it will look like go to View and select Playfield Image/Backdrop. Click on File-Save and you're done! Since we are using the directb2s backglass you need to edit or create a screenres.text (or tablename.res) and position the glass and size it how you like. I'm attaching mine as an example for this table. My screen is 1920x1200 but it will work nicely for 1920x1080 as well. The same methods apply regardless of screen resolution. Ok so there is the very basic steps to add a backdrop. Perhaps in the future I'll dive deeper into active or functioning backdrops. I just worked on a very cool active backdrop for Mauipunter's Speed Racer Mod. It was fun to do but is a lot more than I can include here. I hope this tutorial helps!

Dragonfist, the blackbelt of pins. It's the habit that's hard to kick! Dragonfist has something that keeps the pin player coming back for more. The backglass shows the number of spinner revolutions and can give the player a special bonus when 20, 40, 60, or 80 revolutions hit. Dropt Targets in the right and left orbit lanes, and a fun to hit spinner. It's a tough game to beat, a hard habit to kick, because Dragonfist is the blackbeld of Pins. Thanks to Redbone for providing me with a freshly stitched playfield, and for helping with upscales and lots of other graphics. Redbone also took lots of videos and pictures of an real table to help me in recreation. And thanks to Hauntfreaks and Redbone for providing me with an upscaled backglass for VR. Thanks also to the VPW team for testing and feedback! The whole table was done utilizing latest VPW standards for physics, lighting, GI baking, 3D inserts, shadows, drop targets, 3D inserts, etc. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. There are plenty of options included in this table via the F12 menu including colors and marks for all targets, bumpers, flippers, walls, spinners, and LED plastic edges. There are also multiple VR room environment and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). I've included default settings for the ROM options hard coded into the script. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. Ball options are also available in the script. All other options are in the F12 menu. PLEASE NOTE: There is ANOTHER option for an updated ROM. If you use the alternate ROM... you will see the high spins to date on the Player 4 LED display during the high score attract mode. ALSO, it will preset the Max Credits to 00 (essentially putting it in freeplay mode). IF you want to change to have credits put in, you'll need to follow the instructions here: https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=tutorials&article=109 . Essentially to increase max credits... press 7 to open the ROM menu, keep pressing 7 until you see 18 in the display, then LONG press the "1" key to increase the max credits. The max credit change is only needed for the alternate ROM, not the default one. (I will also include the ROM change description in the zip package).
