Solar Fire (Williams 1981) is one of several Williams System 7 machines, and one of the most complicated rulesets of the time, but only had 507 units made. It's a fun, fast table and higher scores are very achievable... 1M-2.5M is a good game. The Solar Gun feature is fun to achieve, as a magnet slings a captured ball back and forth while generating points when lit. There is a lot to do on this table with all the targets to hit to enable other functions. You'll find similarities to Black Knight, Grand Lizard, and other tables of that era. This table significantly utilizes magnasaves to keep your ball from going into the outlanes. I made Solar Fire a few years ago but was only an update to another table, and the playfield, graphics, etc were not great, nor accurate. Also, I've learned so much more since then, and physics, graphics and everything is leaps further now, I decided to redo the table from scratch. I found a playfield online that had accurate hole placement, and so @redbone completely upscaled, enhanced, and cleaned up the playfield. This 3.0 version utilizes the latest VPW standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Baked GI, walls, and created a playfield mesh for the saucer physics. Dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table shots and action. Also I loved what Mecha_Enron did in Cosmic Gunfight as far as an interactive tutorial, I decided to learn and implement in this table. To utilize, go into the F12 menu and turn on the tutorial. Also thanks to Primetime5k for implementing staged flippers and testing. As well as to the VPW team for testing. Once again, I've included several options in the F12 menu including various balls, ball brightness, GI brightness, insert brightness, flippers, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, and other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting... AND the interactive tutorial. For the ROM settings... The baseline comes pretty much correct except for the high score to date is defaulted to something high and the coins are defaulted to one credit is 3 games. I've included a .nvram file that will adjust the coin/credits to 1 coin is 1 credit. Also, I've set the default high score to 100,000.

UPDATE: My first Vpin is now also my first homebrew machine! Check it out here.. My first Vpin table! Yee-haw!! An all original design, this table is an homage to the sooner state in the form of a modern EM table. Featuring nfozzy physics, fleep sounds, and a custom-themed VR room for those well equipped. The b2s is necessary for scorekeeping in VR, so make sure that is setup and working properly if that's how you like to play. Gameplay goal is simple--> Hit the ramps and the targets and feed the whale to spell out OKIES and release the multi-ball! NOTE: If the score rolls over 9999 an indicator star light will appear below the score! (up to 4 stars earnable) Special thanks to Apophis for his in-depth VPW tutorials and the whole VPW community for advice and testing, and a very extra special thanks to @hauntfreaks for his killer lighting design on the backglass! Don't forget to head on over and grab it! >>Grab the B2S backglass here!<< >>Wheel by DGrimmReaper<<

Welcome to my first VPX table! As an avid player of Diablo 2 for the last 26 years, I knew as soon as I got the inkling to create my very own table... It had to be Diablo 2. About 3 months of feverish work went into crafting this and I think both Diablo 2 and Pinball fans alike are going to get a real thrill out of it. There are very helpful FULLY VOICED live tutorials IN GAME. You must hold both flippers during attract mode to access the tutorials and then you can navigate them via the flippers. StartGame button exits tutorials whenever and returns to attract. Additionally, there is an extensive and detailed rulesheet PDF for your reading pleasure. The table itself will tell you a lot about what's happening as well between lights, callouts and a deep DMD system, but the rulesheet can really ground you in the details. All 5 iconic Acts of Diablo 2 are here to be enjoyed with each boss, music and enemies... Plus something special for the fans in the Wizard Mode/Act 6. Like Diablo 2, this game is cutthroat, but you will be rewarded for your skill. 3 VR rooms: Mixed Reality, Minimal and a custom Mega Room I put together. **Mixed Reality uses Magenta 255, 0, 255. If you want to change it to White or something else, all you need to do is, in the editor, search "Sphere" in the layers panel, double click it, go to its properties and scroll down to Modulate Color. Click the color box and set to whatever you want. Then save. The artistic intention for day/night setting is about 12-13%. Check F12 for options/feature toggles. The table has the features VPX fans have come to expect: Nfozzy, Fleep, Flupper bumpers/flashers and a quality FlexDMD. BIG THANKS to the VPW team for their Resource table and YouTube series. This is over 13000 lines of code and a lot of interwoven systems with basically RPG math underneath and I am just one guy with a Claude Max plan, so while the game is bug free as far as *I* know it, you may run into things as you play. I do plan to support this project going forward and possibly add more content. I have ideas. I am having my firstborn this August, and this table is in a great spot as is, so it was time to release... Oh, and DIABLO 2 RELEASED on the 28th of June in 2000... So that's fun. Celebrate that by downloading my table. Extra special thanks to my boys @MekelburgJ and @Krobs for playtesting this for months with me and giving their feedback. They have been in this thing with me from early on. Also special thanks to @Burger for his expertise, advice and creating a B2S for you VPin folks (im all VR, sorry). The B2S is one photo, but in VR you can select from 4 backglass photos - 2 classic and 2 new. I hope people have a blast with this and get sucked into it's systems and presentation the way my buddies and I have. Please let me know what you think in the comments/reviews. Long live Diablo 2. ~ ChuckRibbits

I used their table as a base in v1.0. - Bord and BorgDog for images, testing and all kinds of help on the original table! - BorgDog moving spinner rod - RothbauerW for some code of his manuel trough in 'No Good Gofers' - Last, and definetly not least the VPX devs!! Thanks guys!

It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock n' roll! This mod started out as a simple collaboration between Hauntfreaks and Fluffhead35 to add new physics and VR room ended up as so much more. This table has had the bell code completely reworked by Apophis to work more like the real table. The playfield has been tweaked by none other than nFozzy himself to be more in line with the blueprint. He also fixed the right and left ramps to be true to the real table. nFozzy has graced this table with his experience to make it table amazing to play. This table was a mod of Sixtoe's AC/DC VR Room, where we made it a hybrid table. Fluffhead35 - Fleep, nFozzy physics, dynamic shadows, drop target code and new drop targets, 3d inserts, added new flipper bats, lighting tweaks, added Lampz code, adjusted nudge HauntFreak - Added new VR Room, Lighting Adjustments, Playfield Shadows Sixtoe - Original VR, Lighting, separated out horns on the train, many more he could not remember. Fixed right ramp, fixed bumper flashers. Realignment and prettying up rubbers and stuff. Apophis - New Bell Physics, scripting, guidance nFozzy - new collidable ramps to fix the shapes of them, moved top hole variance, bell metal/orbit metal tweaks, playfield reshape to correct dimensions. implemented ramp protectors, blank sidewalls, ramp stickers, adjusted bell position. Tomate - New visual ramps Retro27 - VR Room / Cabinet Reworked, New DMD Decals, Start button, tournament mode lights added. Adjustment to Instructions cards, added new render mode for VR Schlabber34 – reworked drop targets and other objects in blender for use in table. Bietekwiet, PinStratsDan, BountyBob, VPW Team - Beta testing! Many thanks to the original team who built this table from the ground up: ninuzzu, DJRobX, dark, tom tower, knorr, rysr, Peter J and Javier. And thanks to the VPDevTeam for the freaking amazing VPX. THIS UPDATE NEEDS THE LATEST VPINMAME, AT LEAST v3.6.0-1209 https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases

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. They are located here: https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/5161-safe-cracker-18-no-percentaging-s11/ https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/5162-safe-cracker-18-s11/ VPX: version 10.8.0 RC3 or higher: https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases/tag/v10.8.0-1947-3b3f101 VPM: version 3.6.0 or higher: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/actions/runs/8893510521 B2S: version 2.1.1 or higher (if using b2s) https://github.com/vpinball/b2s-backglass/releases Two versions of the b2s are available... one for 2 screens from wildman, and one that is 3 screens by ryguy417. https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/6999-safe-cracker-bally-1996/ https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/13623-safe-cracker-bally-1996-b2s-with-full-dmd/ Thanks to apophis, rothbauerw, ebislit, fuzzle, flupper1, redbone, and many others from the VPW team for testing and feedback.

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:

ArmyAviation reached out to me to finish a table he'd been working on. He spent lots of time on getting a good playfield created and also placed all the table elements. He also did the plastics (with resources from Stagio and Sckurk). And he used the primitives and roto scripting from Borgdog. He also started on the implementation of the VPW physics and sounds. Since taking the table over, I did a lot of mods... (all documented in the script). I updated to latest VPW physics scripts and flipper ball collisions, GI and playfield shadow baking, Lampz and 3D inserts, dynamic shadows, drop target shadows, changed to a gBOT (global ball on table) system, updated backglass for desktop, a playfield mesh for a saucer bevel, roth drop and standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, roto lighting, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, drop target shadows, and several errors corrected. Full details are at the bottom of the table's script. Redbone further upscaled the playfield. I also added options for balls, ball brightness, LUTs, Dip settings, and VR stuff. I've also included Hauntfreaks updated backglass image from Wildman in the VR backglass... look for his updated backglass here: I've included an option for two ROMS. 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. Also, I've included the nvram files to initially set the Dips, as the ROM creates settings that aren't wanted. 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. (Open the table, and in the script, change, change SetDIPSwitches to 1, and then when you open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). Then exit out, and set the SetDIPSwitches back to zero. That will set the ROM settings. If you later want to change that, you can turn it back on and change the dips.) Thanks to apophis, bord, and pinstratsdan for feedback and testing, as well as the VPW team for additional testing.

Have You Ever Danced With the Devil in the Pale Moonlight? The VPin Workshop members present Batman by Data East! This is actually a really fun table that benefitted from a lot from a proper rebuild from the ground up and conversion to it's correct widebody dimensions, its definitely worth a play even if you didn't enjoy it before Includes a built in VR mode and numerous options which you can enable in the script. • Main table overhaul: Cyberpez • Visuals: Skitso • Inserts: iaaki • nFozzy physics: fluffhead35 • Fleep Sounds: baldgeek • VR Stuff: Sixtoe • Miscellaneous fixes and tweaks: Entire VPW team inc.

Bally's 1977 Eight Ball was the first in the series of 3 pool related Bally tables with a production run of over 20,000 units. Thanks to @redbone for creating a high resolution playfield, as well as assisting in the many other graphics including the plastics, flippers, apron, and targets! Also thanks to Hauntfreaks, as I used his backglass images for VR. This table was done from scratch placing everything, and implementing the latest VPW (2025) 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. I also baked the GI and interior wood and metal walls. I've once again studied hours of videos to ensure accurate placement, gameplay, bounces, physics, etc. Lots of time was spent on getting the left kickback accurate, timed correctly, and matching video play. 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 (180,000, 340,000, 560,000). I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself. Thanks again to Redbone, and Hauntfreaks! Also thanks to everyone else from the VPW team that provided testing and feedback! Required Software (64-bit versions): VPX 10.8.0 or later: https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases/tag/v10.8.0-2051-28dd6c3 VPinMame 3.7.0.47 or later recommended: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/actions/runs/15769888098 B2S Server 2.1.3 or later (if B2S used): https://github.com/vpinball/b2s-backglass/releases/tag/v2.1.3

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.

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.

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.
