Bally's 1978 Mata Hari had a production run of 16,260 units, it is the ninth most produced Pinball machine in history. The theme is based upon the legend of Mata Hari, aka Margaretha Zelle (1876-1917) who was a popular exotic dancer throughout the early 20th century. She was accused and convicted in France of “Consorting with the Enemy” during World War I, which led to her being executed by firing squad. Thanks to Apophis for providing a high resolution playfield scan. Thanks also to @redbone for updating, scaling, and cleaning the playfield up, as well as assisting in the many other graphics including the plastics, flippers, apron, and targets! I used Hauntfreaks backglass for VR. And thank you to Tomate for helping with the saucer primitive. This table was done from scratch placing everything, and implementing the latest VPW (2025) standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth drop targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, playfield mesh for the saucer, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. I also baked the GI and interior wood walls. I've once again studied hours of videos to ensure accurate placement, gameplay, bounces, physics, etc. I've provided a .nvram file for the ROM menu settings, and I've hard coded the DIP switch settings as usual. This table is loaded with options in the F12. Various balls, ball brightness, flippers, screw caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, Dip settings, and plenty of other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. 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. 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 (200,000, 340,000, and 480,000). I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself. Thanks again to Apophis, Redbone, Hauntfreaks, and Tomate! Also thanks to everyone else from the VPW team that provided testing and feedback!

The weather is warm and the surf is up, dudes and dudettes! Grab your board and hit the beach! EM Underdogs brings you a completely rebuilt Surf Champ from Gottlieb in 1976 with desktop, full screen and VR, making it a hybrid. We started with @teisen 2023 mod of Losermans 2018 version, tore it down and completely rebuilt just about everything. @Silversurfer completely redrew the playfield and plastics in vectors @burger checked us out on our fleep sounds and nfozzy physics, fine tuning to perfection. @DGrimmReaper made the VR happen and added the @mcarter78 beachfront boardwalk VR room! @Cliffy and @teisen did all the scaling, lighting, inserts, bumpers, all the detail stuff that this absolutely gorgeous table deserves Full changelog shown in the F12 menu. This table has a few play options available by holding the left flipper a few seconds before starting a game. There is also a preview of the VR room for desktop users by simply changing line 42. Desktop users also have a separate backdrop available if using a directb2s by changing it in image manager EM Underdogs hopes you enjoy playing this summertime beauty as much as we do!

This was where my old VR version of this table lived, I have now linked to my VPW version, which just requires VR turned on in the script.

Welcome to Cactus Jack's! It's Party Time! This table was originally done by BorgDog and Bodydump on version 0.95. They had help from Dark (cactus models), Bord (lighting) and Rothbauerw (physics) some time ago. I asked for permission to add all the latest physics, sounds, etc. to the table. I also did quite a few updates in version 2.0 mentioned below. Also thanks to RIK, PinStratsDan, Apophis, and Wylte for testing the table. IMPORTANT: You MUST select what mode of table you are playing in the Script. VR, Desktop, or Cab. There are several other options to select as well, including ball brightness, VR Room, VR clock, VR posters, VR topper. LUT 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, there's an option to turn wobble off. Wobble allows the cacti on top of the bumpers to move when you nudge the table, or the ball hits the bumpers. A cool effect but not if you experience performance issues. Also, you can turn dynmaic shadows off for additonal performance if needed. Version 2.0 Updates: - The table is now a hybrid (desktop, cab, and VR) - VR includes an animated backglass (image from Wildman), and several VR options (room, poster, clock, topper). (Sixtoe originally provided VR cab art and other tweaks a year ago) - 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 - Corrected a couple errors in the table, as the upper drop targets were reversed. Also tilt wasn't working. All corrected, and adjusted. - 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. - Added LUT options. - I also typed up a rules sheet and included in the download, and in table info, since it can't be found on the web. RIK provided a link to a game play video here:

VR Room for the wonderful Monster Bash by Ninuzzu & Tom Tower. Features You can use Left/Right Magnasave to enable/disable the VR Room Preview video

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!!

In this world, the bad guys can win! Tomate brought this table to life with great playfield and plastics images, and of course top notch 3d modeling and rendering. Sixtoe completely rebuilt the bones of the table. Flux and Apophis worked some code magic to bring it to life. Leo delivered the VR backglass. This is surely our most graphically demanding table thus far! Make sure to check out the in-game options menu by pressing both magnasave buttons at the same time. Enjoy the show!

"This is VPW control to Major Tom, you've really made the grade!" VPW are proud to (xmas) present Space Station by Williams! This machine is pretty unique in that it doesn't have inlanes, just slings leading straight on to the flippers, so there's no chance of a respite from the action! It's a bit of a hidden gem if you've not played it before. Tomate really fancied doing this one and luckily we managed to track down a playfield we could buy to scan (thanks to those of you who donated through our beer me link here or bought something through our merch store!), and as part of developing it he also played with the way we do inserts and flashers and made them look even more special! We honestly think it's one of the best looking machines we've done so far and the light show is something else, especially in multiball. *WARNING* There are versions of vpinmame where the solenoid sticks on for System 11 games, but the released versions are fine, be warned and check your solenoids are not latching on if you're using a "non release" version.

'RELEASE 1.0

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).

I’ve placed the wonderful Logan’s Run pinball machine in a VR room. Logan_V gave me his permission. You can find the original table and the Pup Pack at this link:

Early in 2021, I received permission from Bigus to update this table and add the VR conversions... originally done by Tom Tower and Ninuzzu. The VR conversion included backglass, flashers, lighting, GI, and other table issue fixes (high score initials, trough multiball and tilt issue, and others). I used the Blacksad dark image from his backglass, as it looks amazing. All the interactivity was done in the script. Sixtoe did a lot of lighting updates as well, including bloom lighting, overlay, etc. Version 2.0 includes a hybrid mode for desktop, cab, and VR. Plus all the latest updates that the VPW team has been doing lately. It includes Fleep sounds, nFozzy / Roth physics and flippers, and general table physics updates. It also has Rothbauerw drop targets, VPW Dynamics Shadows by Iakki, Apophis, and Wylte, Flupper Domes, and LUT options. Bord also added a playfield mesh so the ball goes into the center saucer more realistically. I also added a recent update by fluffhead35 for ballrolling and ramproll amplication sounds. Hauntfreaks provided a couple lighter ball images as well. I also added more VR options to include a wall clock, and additional animation. There are plenty of options in the script including LUT lighting changes, ball brightness, VR, cab, and desktop modes, dynamic shadows, rolling amplification, and other sound and shadow options. Also for VR users, you can change to different room environments. If you get 3 credits each time you add a coin, I put instructions in the script on how to modify your ROM to only add one coin. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! And thanks again to all involved!

Gottlieb's 1980 Buck Rogers is based on the 1979 film and TV series "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.", featuring a space adventure theme highlighted by vibrant sci-fi artwork on the backglass and playfield. Thanks to cwgoss28 for providing a playfield scan and Borgdog for plastic scans. Then of course thanks to @redbone who took those scans of the playfield and plastics and did a lot of work to get them to look so good! Also thanks to Apophis for proving video and pictures of actual gameplay as well as testing. Hauntfreaks also provided the higher resolution VR backglass images. I also want to thank Sixtoe for teaching me how to improve the playfield_mesh to avoid ball sticking issues. For this table, I updated to the latest VPW standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Baked GI, walls, and created a playfield mesh for the saucer physics. The vari-target was done utilizing Roth's method, but modified to work with this table. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos (several photos and videos provided by Apophis.) to match the table shots and action. Once again, I've included several options in the F12 menu including various balls, ball brightness, flippers, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, and other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. For the ROM... since the latest VPinMAME, there is an error with older Gottlieb System 1 ROMs (they were using a bad "CF" spider chip dump all these years). So, if you download off of Pinball Nirvana... you'll likely get an error. The "New Fixed ROMs" can be found in the required software section below, called "new fixed ROMS for vpinmame" You'll see 17 ROMs in the pack. buckrgrs.zip is one of them, and you'll need that for this table. 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 (190,000, 320,000 and 460,000). 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.

"Solar Ride," released by Gottlieb in February 1979, features a captivating outer space theme and "vibrant" backglass artwork. This machine was produced in two versions: an electro-mechanical model and a solid-state version. (this is the solid state version). Not much to this table, but gameplay is fun and getting bonus early is definitely desirable. Key strategies include shooting the drop targets to light up the special, managing the bonus multiplier, and utilizing the top left lane for a 2X bonus. In the F12 instructions, I have other strategy and tips as well. Thanks to CainArg for providing a playfield scan as well as the cleanup of it. Then of course thanks to @redbone who scaled it, as well as providing the apron, and upscaling the plastics. For this table, I updated to the latest VPW standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Baked GI, walls, and created a playfield mesh for the saucer physics. Many hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table shots and action. I put as much detail into the table as I could... animating the upper gates, all the rubber animations, saucers, etc. Once again, I've included several options in the F12 menu including various balls, ball brightness, flippers, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, and other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. For the ROM... since the latest VPinMAME, there is an error with older Gottlieb System 1 ROMs (they were using a bad "CF" spider chip dump all these years). So, if you download that specific ROM off of Pinball Nirvana... you'll likely get an error. The "New Fixed ROMs" can be found in the required software section below.

Installation: ---------- install into your VPX folder start only the launcher4.exe inside your VPX folder setup your paths and keys via settings at trayicon-menu restart launcher optimize your single-klick speed rotation-speed (inside launchers overlay-settings) start with 0.0 and increase to 0.1 ... problems with autoupdate? -> try starting launcher as admin Performance problems? 1) Set renderScale to 1.0 ⁠in VR!⁠ 2) Try disabling table-videos 3) Try disabling "room" Changelog: --------- What's new in version 4.8x - new circular tableselection - random table function What's new in version 4.67 Tablesounds are included in the resources. If you want to overwrite the existing sound you can can place your own tablesounds inside /vrlauncher4/config/tablesounds/ The filenames have to match against the tablearray like the vpx-names. What's new in version 4.64 If you want to hear backgroundmusic place mp3 here: /vrlauncher4/config/music.mp3. What's new in version 4.63 You can (it's optional) launch vpx with special params for vr or novr. vrlauncher4/config/config.xml: <vpparams2d>-ini novr.ini -Minimized -Play</vpparams2d> These params will be passed to VPX if you are in launcher 2d-mode. Since 10.8 Beta 5 you can launch VPX with an ini-file with settings. If you setup a novr.ini with the following setting... [PlayerVR] AskToTurnOn = 2 ... VPX will start in 2d mode (turn off VR). <vpparams2d>-ini novr.ini -Minimized -Play</vpparams2d> in vrlauncher4/config/config.xml will load this ini-file while launching tables. The result of these settings is that you can set in the launcher whether you want to play in VR or 2D. The launcher automatically detects if you have a VR device connected, so you won't receive any more error messages in VPX because of that. (F9 toggles VR/2D) What's new in version 4.62 online /config/offlinedata/mytables.csv merges into tablearray You can place your special tables there (readme.txt) What's new in version 4.61 + VR-settingseditor in VR-mode + 2D-settingseditor in 2D-mode Hint: If you want a full table-rotation set rotation angle to 180° What's new in version 4.53 The program was created with the latest Unity LTS compiler and is delivered with an MSI installer to prevent blocked DLLs and read-only directories from causing issues. New features in this version include automatic online and offline updates. Starting from this version, the program can update itself automatically online or manually through copied update files. What's new in version 4.50 1) tablename.bat files will launch corectly. 2) Autoupdate-function added. Please check if /vrkauncher4/update/xdelta.exe is not blocked! Otherwise the update will not work. To activate autoupdates you have to setup settings in config.xml to: <autoupdate>1</autoupdate> Problems: to fix update pls check /vrlauncher4/update/ ✅ check if the xdelta.exe in this folder is not blocked. ✅ check if update_{YOUVERSION}.zip was downloaded ✅ there is a file version.cfg - check if it‘s {YOURVERSION}. if not, zip was not extracted ✅ set version in version.cfg back to {YOURVERSION} to reset update ✅ restart launcher What's new in Version 4.36 <suspendmode>4</suspendmode> Launcher4 will stay alive without animation and userinteractions until vpx finishes. Launcher4's CPU-usage is low. Good loading-times. (waits in an own task) <msaaSampleCount>4</msaaSampleCount> Antialiasing higher = better quality but less performance possible values: 0 disabled 2 = 2x 4 = 4x 8 = 8x <renderScale>1.0</renderScale> UniversalRenderPipelineAsset render scale (Renderresolution of viewport) <floor>1</floor> 0 = disable floor and shadow-rendering on it <bgcolor>0.0,0.0,0.0</bgcolor> Backgroundcolor float values R , G , B 1.0,0.0,0.0 = red 1.0,0.0,1.0 = purple (red+blue) What's New in Version 4.35 <vpxpreviewx>-1</vpxpreviewx> <vpxpreviewy>-1</vpxpreviewy> <vpxprevieww>1200</vpxprevieww> <vpxpreviewh>800</vpxpreviewh> You can move and resize the VPX-Preview window. (x,y,w,h) (-1,-1 disables this movement.) What's New in Version 4.34 <settings> <vrrecentermode>0</vrrecentermode> <gamma>1.0</gamma> </settings> vrrecentermode: 0: launcher calls device-recenter-function. 1: launcher calls device-recenter-function AND resets main camera to viewport. (Meta does not allow device-recenter-function anymore.) gamma: Values between 0.0 and 2.0 will change gamma post process. What's New in Version 4.33 Released October 13 focusgrab works with vpx 10.8 (hidden sdl window) recenter workaround for oculus and openxr What's New in Version 4.32 Released October 12 -ini param removed (because VPX 10.8 beta is handling them automatically) What's New in Version 4.31 Released October 10 If you have a 64bit-system this is your config: <paths> <tables>E:\Tables-VR\</tables> <vpexe32bit>C:\VP\VPinballX_GL_32bit.exe</vpexe32bit> <vpexe64bit>C:\VP\VPinballX_GL_64bit.exe</vpexe64bit> <defaultversion>64bit</defaultversion> <vpparams>-Minimized -Play</vpparams> <highscores>C:\VP\PINemHi\PINemHi.exe</highscores> </paths> If you have 32bit tables you can name them something with "32bit" inside filename. If you have a 32bit-system this is your config: <paths> <tables>E:\Tables-VR\</tables> <vpexe32bit>C:\VP\VPinballX_GL_32bit.exe</vpexe32bit> <vpexe64bit>C:\VP\VPinballX_GL_64bit.exe</vpexe64bit> <defaultversion>32bit</defaultversion> <vpparams>-Minimized -Play</vpparams> <highscores>C:\VP\PINemHi\PINemHi.exe</highscores> </paths> If you have 64bit-tables you can name them something with "64bit" inside filename. What's New in Version 4.30 Released October 1 This time a little update for technicians: Launcher checks for tablepath/tablename.ini sends -ini params to vpx. Launcher checks for tablepath/tablename.bat to launch this instead of exe+params. Tablename and vpx params are sent as params to the bat-file. Make sure, that your bat file waits for VPX to exit. What's New in Version 4.29 alpha Released September 24 64bit compiled with newest stable Unity release all 2023 table-artwork included new "openxr" device value 4.28 FEATURES tabledata offline or ONLINE coded in unity/c# for oculus vr OR openvr (32bit windows) starts only once and takes control, when vpx is quitting 0% CPU-usage while playing VPX much faster loading time than v.3 Favourites are controlled ingame.

A classic pairing of Wayne Neyens and Roy Parker brings us Gigi, a deceptively cute yet challenging pinball. A product of its time featuring Marilyn Monroe and some “hillbilly” humor makes one wonder the direction they really intended. The rules are simple. From the IPDB: @EMUnderdogs has labored for months (in their spare time of course!) to bring this table to a more accurate representation than has ever been previously released. @Silversurfer painstakingly recreated the backglass, playfield and plastics in vectors which gave the rest of us a perfect platform to build upon. All elements scaled properly to the blueprint and nfozzy physics materials applied. EM sounds updated and lighting and shadows tweaked to near perfection. Take Gigi out for a spin and keep in mind that this has a manual ball lifter (right magna or 1 key). There is an option menu by holding the left flipper a few seconds that lets you change to automatic ball lift instead as well as several scoring options. There are also desktop scoring or b2s backdrops available by changing in the editor/toggle backglass view / DT Image dropdown. Now with VR added by @DGrimmReaper! @Silversurfer and @hauntfreaks new backglass: Thanks to @GordonJames for testing and providing valuable feedback, especially on lighting and shadows. Enjoy @EMUnderdogs Gigi!

Here's another VR Conversion I want to share with you guys. This was created in collaboration with Rascal, who helped me a lot. If you don't know something yourself, Rascal knows it. 🤗 Why did I want to convert this particular table, simply because it's on my list and I really like it. I hope someone has as much fun with it and like it as I do, so I'm going to share it with you guys now. '********************* VR OPTIONS ************************************************** '*********************************************************************************** 'VR Logo - Set VRLogo = 0 to turn off VR Logo. VRLogo = 1 'VR Poster-Right - Set VRPosterR = 0 to turn off VR Poster-Right. VRPosterR = 1 'VR Poster-Left - Set VRPosterL = 0 to turn off VR Poster-Left.

And without my friend Rascal, we would only have a standard grill. This is the Link to the BS2 and Grill i used: A big thanks to Joe Picasso for creating such a beautyfull table and give me Permission to convert it to VR. I also want to thank Rawd for his VR toys and Sixtoe for his great templates and Rascal for helping me with the Mesh and everything else and of course Studlygoorite for beta testing .

An undersea adventure awaits! Discover the scoring opportunities found only in Atlantis 1.3 update! VR added! A first for EM Underdogs- thanks to @DGrimmReaper using @leojreimroc VR assets you can now play our Atlantis table in a VR undersea environment! Of course it's a hybrid version playable in desktop, cabinet and now virtual reality modes. Grab your scuba gear and dive in! EM Underdogs brings you another fine update to a classic, highly desirable, wedgehead. @teisen had updated Losermans table a while back and we decided it was a good candidate for a really nice new update with Fleep sounds and nFozzy EM physics as well as the usual EMU graphics updates. VPX 10.8.0 Final was used to update this game. Special thanks to @outhere for help with DOF fixes! Desktop and B2S backgrounds available as options in Image Manager. Atlantis is a gorgeous game with art by Gordon Morison and design by Jeff Brenner who also created a double drop target scoring system only used on this game. From his remarks on the IPDB; "Noteworthy on this game was my concept of awarding a scoring premium for hitting two adjacent drop targets simultaneously." All update info is shown in the F12 menu, please have a look as a lot of work went into this beauty EM Underdogs hopes you enjoy another fun release!

Cabin Fever Has Never Been This Fun! Step into the role of Jack Torrance — a proud father and determined writer who’s landed the winter caretaker job of his dreams. All he wants is a little peace and quiet to finish his novel, bounce his trusty tennis ball, and teach young Danny some good old-fashioned discipline. But distractions abound: Wendy won’t stop hovering, Hallorann’s asking all the wrong questions, and the Overlook has ideas of its own. It’s up to Jack to stay focused and use his pinball prowess to set things right… his way. burgereater289 and @GtecArcade present...The Shining! I had an absolute blast working on this, so thanks GtecArcade for the idea and for teaming up daily! Thank you Kevin who came up with half the ideas on this table. Thanks friend! @outhere- for adding hardware DOF @DaRdog81 for all your work getting this beautiful VR room set up @studlygoorite for identifying many necessary improvements @wpilot- for allowing us to use some artwork from his The Shining table @LoadedWeapon- for the cabinet POV file and the F12 option to show/hide siderails Thanks to those who tested and gave ideas to improve the table @Igic,@cl4ve, @Tombg and team @SuperTilted for all their support Info: One table now works for both PUP and non-PUP (change to usePUP = true or usePUP = false on line 13) Non-VR users can get a glimpse of the VR room on their desktop by setting option vrtest=true on line 10504 Press Right MagnaSave at the attract screen to watch the Overlook Hotel play automatically, forever, and ever, and ever (press start during the demo to start your own game) Left MagnaSave to change current song 10.8 required, 10.7 will not work B2S backglass and other media files included in the media pack file., but I recommend downloading Hauntfreaks B2S at link above and using that awesome version To disable UltraDMD, set ultramode=0 in the script. To disable hardware DOF set HardwareDOF=0 in the script To view the PUP, in the table script change to usePUP = true on line 13, and you will need to head over to GtecArcade's post to grab the PUP Pack: https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/26503-the-shining-pup-pack/

"Pinball Fans, Sometimes you gotta run before you can walk!" At last! Here it is! VPW are very proud to present our first blender toolkit table! This table requires at least VPX 10.7.2 and the VR version requires at least 10.8.0-514 **edit** PinMAME 3.5 is also required. (Download Links Below) Iron Man is a very hard arcade style pinball by John Borg with short brutal games and is a regular of the pinball competition circuit. Development started in September 2021, Sixtoe had talked about wanting to redo it as there was no accurate version, but the only available playfield was wrongly aligned, poor quality and there were no other decent assets for it so it was a non-starter. But whilst Sixtoe was finishing off Judge Dredd, out of the blue Bord supplied a full playfield scan including all plastics! So at this point it was all systems go, we then spent some t-shirt money on a full set of decals, Dazz got the Iron Monger toy and EBisLit got the Whiplash and Warmachine toys and Dazz 3D scanned them all in for us. A few months into development when it was playing well and being built in Blender by Sixtoe, Niwak started to make real progress with the blender toolkit, and rather than going through the process of Tomate running it through blender octane and building all the UVmaps (which takes a looong time) we decided to shift development to the toolkit version and put it on hold whilst that was developed further. A few months later when the toolkit was working well, development was picked up again on Iron Man with Sixtoe, Tomate and Niwak working together developing both the table and Niwak bugfixing the toolkit as problems arose (particularly with the Iron Monger toy!). Then just lots of testing and tweaking and here we are! Current default ROM is 1.85ve as 1.86ve does not have fastflips enabled yet.

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!
