tried version 2 and 3, the music and voice is VERY quiet.

There should be options to turn up the volume. Usually you would press end to open the coin door and the from there press 8 or 9 to raise the volume, but I think with this one, I had to just press 9 to raise the volume. Try that with any low volume machine.

So nobody is mentioning the fact that the flippers don't have enough power to make it up the center ramp? I'm new to this program, so maybe it's something I have to do, but the real table was not this hard to get the ball up that ramp. Can anyone offer insight?

I love the way this version looks and plays!  Unfortunately, in 2 games I played, I lost a ball somewhere.  I'm hopeful this can be fixed soon!

 

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, JP!

P.S. The ball gets lost in the "Vari Target" sometimes with a slow rolling ball.
