excellent many thanks 

and a link to rom 

very nice

Thanks JP

Wonderfully done - thank you so much, Sir! BTW: I'm about to restore a "real" Viper this year...

this is one of those tables that suffers from the sticky flippers glitch in 10.6.0 Final. Running it with the VPX7 beta fixes this problem.

Thanks for the update and to everyone involved! 09/14/2025

Thanks very much JP! I just discovered that this table is different from the Snake table with basically the same backglass.  All this time I just though it was another one of those 2 player/ 4 player type deals.  I really like this one, it looks great and plays great! 

Very good table and nice job. Thank you very much.

Thank you J.P :D

Instant delete. I can't believe Stern put out a table with such ear splitting rom sounds. Absolutely brutal. I can't take them even at super low levels of volume. Thanks just the same.

Hi, This table is very good however we have identified a few errors. We have been playing this table all week (our 6th day now) Quite a number of players taking part in a weekly competition. Errors are as follows: Ball lock occasionally releases without no reason giving two balls in play but if one ball drains it registers as the only ball in play. Also, when you get a frozen table like this, no ball would load up in shooter lane. I think it could be something to do with that top right multiball stacker area. I have played this table in vpx 10.8 x64gl and vpx 10.7 64 and get same errors unfortunately. Just thought I would flag this up in case it hadn't been mentioned. Other than that, the SSF on this table is great, great playability and addictive. Very good.
