This is an updated version of WED21's Firepower VPX table. The prototype version of the game used 6 drop targets but for the production run, they were replaced with standup targets to increase reliability in the field. The games ROM still works with them however and people have done this mod to the real table.  Both versions are included with this release (switchable in the script).
 
I have redrawn the apron and reworked the background for desktop users.
 
Note on the "Deluxe" version:  This version of the game (frpwr_c7) can be played with the drop targets but there will be some minor gameplay issues.  Some of the new play features such as mission mode will not reset the drop targets and you will sometimes see the target down despite the corresponding light blinking. This is controlled by the ROM and cannot be fixed.  If this happens, Hitting the one or two remaining targets in the bank will reset all 3.
 
***To switch to the standard production targets, change line 51 in the script from DTMod=1 to DTMod=0. To use a center post, change line 68 in the script from CenterPost=0 to CenterPost=1.***

What's New in Version 1.2 (See full changelog)

  • 1.2
  • -Drop targets reset immediately when in multiball mode. The mod should work perfectly now.
  • -Fixed glitch when center post is enabled.
  • 1.1
  • -Added new safeguards to reduce/eliminate issues with drop targets not always being up when they should.
  • -Using non "Deluxe" ROM (see description for details)
  • -Removed center post (switchable in script)
  • -Added wire guides under flippers
  • -Tightened up lanes at the top
  • -Top of drop targets visible when down
  • -Revised logo in desktop mode

Thank you for the Mod but with DTMod=1  the drop tragets are shown but do not fall down with 10.7.2 final or 10.8 for me.

I reloaded the rom and deleted the nv.

 Any suggestions?

 I tried on 10.7.2 final and they work for me. Only the 6 in the center should drop. 

Thank you very much!
