I've always loved this table. Never sure why it has such a hold on me, I just love it. I've found many of the Taito tables to be this way. Thanks JP!
Not sure why, but when i start a game it doesn't kick out the first ball. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Thanks to Tio Italo and Carlos Guizzo, and JP for this table.

Hi JP, I've tried the table, v6.0.1, along sharkt.zip ROM (passed from VPinMAME test), the table is working, but until I close VPX. When I reload the table, I can't start a new game (by "1" key). I've tried to delete sharkt.nv NVRAM file, ok again until I close and restart VPX+Shark v6.0.1 table.
EDIT/ADD: as soon as the table is restarted (after a started/finished game), it looks dead (aka no light animations, despit digits are displayed (scores, credits) and stays on lastest played ball in play! (like uncompleted game). Of course, I presume it's a ROM and/or VPinMAME issue, when the .nv file is load (perhaps corrupted?). After delete sharkt.nv file and restart VPX/table, I can start and play a game (default is 5-ball).
I precise I'm using VPX 10.8.0 "stable" (64-bit) + lastest version of VPinMAME (64-bit, too). In fact, it's okay while I don't start a game...
Not sure why, but when i start a game it doesn't kick out the first ball. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi - Please try this:
- Close VPX.
- Delete sharkt.nv file (localed into VPinMAME\nvram subdirectory).
- Open & run Shark table.Normally, you're able to start & play a 5-ball game.
But if you close VPX, then reopen the Shark table, probably it doesn't work (looking dead, no lights animation, seem "stucked" on last played ball), you'll can add coins for credits, but you'll can start a new game (until you delete sharkt.nv file as described above). Surely a VPinMAME issue, or/and ROM issue, or something maybe wrong in table's script.
