Download KISS (Bally 1979)_Bigus(MOD) 5.0

thanks

Switch to the kissb 7-digit rom if you use the DT background for the digits to display properly after updating to PinMAME 3.5

You need to edit the line with the solenoids and stuff after kissc. Just change kissc to kissb on that line because commenting it will disable all the other items on the line.

Hi Bigus 1, I can't get the music of this board to work........there is some mp3 to load?

Hi Haran,

I'm certainly no expert but I think I can answer this for you. The 1979 KISS table doesn't have any music - it was an early solid state table. But if you want Kiss music to play (or any music you like), you can do the following (this works on my setup with this table from Bigus - and as far as I can tell this works with about any table, just change the relevant detail to suit other tables and other music).

1. Open the table in the VPX editor

2. Open the script editor

3. Find the section for 'Plunger Code' - you can just do a search for plunger code, and make yours look like this:

'**********************************************************************************************************
'Plunger code
'**********************************************************************************************************

Sub Table1_KeyDown(ByVal KeyCode)
    If KeyDownHandler(keycode) Then Exit Sub
    If keycode = PlungerKey Then Plunger.Pullback:PlaySoundAt "plungerpull",Plunger
    If keycode = RightMagnaSave Then MusicOn
    If keycode = LeftMagnaSave Then EndMusic
End Sub

------------

NOTE: the lines we're adding here are the last two If statements assigning the magnasave keys to the MusicOn and EndMusic subroutines.

4. Go to the end of the script (anywhere you like really, but I put mine at the end because this is something I'm adding to the script).

5. Pick a spot after the last bit of code and paste in the following:

'***********************
' Added myself to add music
'***********************

Sub MusicOn
    Dim FileSystemObject, folder, r, ct, file, musicPath, myMusicFolder
    myMusicFolder = "KISS" ' the directory name where your mp3 files are stored, must be a subfolder of Visual Pinball\music
    Set FileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    musicPath = FileSystemObject.GetAbsolutePathName(".") ' get path to Visual Pinball\table
    musicPath = Left(musicPath, Len(musicPath) - 6) + "music\" 'get path to Visual Pinball\music
    Set folder = FileSystemObject.GetFolder(musicPath + myMusicFolder)
    Randomize
    r = INT(folder.Files.Count * Rnd + 1)
    ct=1
    For Each file in folder.Files 'get every file in myMusicFolder, for each one count it and see if the count matches the random number
        if ct = r Then  ' random file found
            if (LCase(Right(file,4))) = ".mp3" Then ' can only play mp3 files
               PlayMusic Mid(file, Len(musicPath) + 1, 1000) ' PlayMusic defaults to Visual Pinball\music\, need to get myMusicFolder\song name
            End If
       End If
   ct = ct + 1
   Next
 End Sub

'***********************
' Got this from Playboy 1978 - it repeats the song selection subroutine once the song finishes
'***********************

Sub Table1_MusicDone
        MusicOn

End Sub

6. save everything and exit out of VPX

7. in File Explorer on your PC go to ../Visual Pinball/Music

8. Create a folder in there called KISS

9. copy all your KISS mp3 files into that folder

10. Load up the table, and to begin the music playing (or skip to the next track), hit your right magna save (or Right CTRL key). If you want the music to stop playing, hit your left magna save (or Left CTRL key).

11. You should find that the script will select a song in that folder at random and play it, and when it has exhausted the entire playlist, it should start over automatically

That all works for me, I hope it works for you too.

Disclaimer, I don't know if posting this here violates any rules or goes against the spirit of this forum, but if so I apologise. Just trying to help. Also, I'm sorry but I can't remember where I got this code from (certainly wasn't me). I think I got it from the author of the 1978 Playboy table I have.

Cheers.


 

Tres belle réalisation. Merci Bigus

Thank You bigus1!

ohhh thank you very very much for this !

Thank's the Update.

Trés realiste & beau travail !!

 Bravo!

This is my review of the Bigus1 table.  I choose to compare updated tables to previous versions or versions done by other authors to do a fair comparison to what is available and what makes them better or worse in my opinion.  For this review, it's Bigus1 vs UnclePaulie's version.

1. Bigus1 version: This is a mod of jbg4208's table, because as far as I know, Bigus1 doesn't create tables, he mods tables that are already available and that's totally fine.

Right off the bat, I noticed this table does not have Nfozzy physics and Fleep sound.  Nfozzy and Fleep are the latest and greatest standards for physics and sound in VPX.  Without them, the ball feels light, floaty and does not move around the table like a real, weighted pinball. Sadly, that is exactly the case with the Bigus1 version.

 UnclePaulie's version is built from scratch.  He creates tables. His version does have Nfozzy and Fleep, which makes his table feel very close to a real pinball table.  In my view, there is no comparison as to which table plays more like a real table.  Fleep sound also takes his version to the next level.

I could stop this review right here because in my view, I want a pinball table to play like the real thing and UnclePaulie's version clearly takes the win in my opinon.

Other things I've noticed while comparing the two tables is UnclePaulie's version seems to have a higher resolution playfield and in my opinion better looking plastics, flippers, spinners, apron, and targets. He also baked the GI and interior wood walls.  UnclePaulie's version also is loaded with options in the F12. Various balls, ball brightness, flippers, screw caps, spinners, targets, aprons, pegs, plastic edge colors, LUTs (for selecting different lighting/brightness options) and also Dip settings, which the Bigus1 version lacks.

This is my take on these 2 tables.  My suggestion is to try them both out for your playing pleasure and keep the one YOU like better.  It's nice to have options.  In the end, we just want to have fun with a digital pinball table.  Thank you to Bigus1 and UnclePaulie for helping out the community with their efforts.

Unfortunately, Bigus1 took my original post negatively.  My original post just asked if Bigus1 was aware that UnclePaulie had already released an incredible table with Nfozzy physics and Fleep sounds.  I brought this up because I said he's a busy guy updating tables and that if he wasn't aware, he could save a lot of wasted time updating tables that are already pretty much perfect...   He wrote me back asking if I was a f*cking idiot and that he told me already not to mention other authors tables in reviews of his tables. I don't normally go back to posts I have done, so I was not aware of his comments.  I know I did ask if he was aware of another table that already was near perfect in another of his table reviews, I can't remember what that table was... Again, this was to save him from the effort of updating tables that already had an awesome version out.

He called me a troll and implied I was involved with a group of trolls who don't like his updates or him...perhaps both.    I am not a troll.   Does a troll tell him a table he did is great?  I don't think so.   On April 16, 2026 (less that 2 months ago) I left a comment for his Volcano table, on page 2, saying and I quote, "Hey, great table Bigus1"

On March 28, 2026,  I once again praised him for his Flight 2000 table, saying, and I quote, "Great job Bigus1"  it's on page 2 of his table reviews on here. At that point in time, I had tried all the other versions available and his were the best versions for these 2 tables.  He earned my respect and I praised him for them.

Does that sound like I'm a troll??

Bigus1 threatened me to "go public" with this and that he already knew who the community would back.    I don't know what he thinks I would fear from "going public with this"  as I did not do anything wrong and all I asked him in my post was if he was aware that there is already a great version of Kiss with Nfozzy Physics and Fleep sound.    What is there to "go public" with?   Absolutely nothing.

I mentioned that he was very hostile and he was unwarranted in asking if I was a "f*cking idiot and a troll... but he did not apologize.  I have every right to do a review as I see fit and if I like to compare his table with another authors table, that is my choice.   Going into a rage, calling people names and saying they are a troll is not how things are handled by civil people.  I would suggest Bigus1 seek anger management.   

I do not typically respond or look at my reviews/comments and this will be the same.  Bigus1 will surely try to spin this to make me look like the bad guy.  From his very hostile message to me, I can expect how he will respond.  Not with an apology, which I definitely deserve but with more nonsense that has formed in his mind from trolls he says he's had to deal with in the past.  I'm sorry to you Bigus1 if you've had to deal with trolls and negative people in the past.

  He stated he's taken on trolls before but I'm clearly not a troll.  Trolls don't praise a person for their work on a table, which I did, twice.

I will not be caught up in a fight that I did not start.  I will not respond to Bigus1 moving forward and I've blocked him.    Again, trolls like this kind of drama and want it to continue... I do not like it one bit and have taken steps so this is the end of it.
