Based on the table by Data East from 1989
 
Thanks to Pancake for the plastic scans.
Thanks to HiRez00 for the pictures of the real table and for the wheel image.
 
The playfield's layout should be as close as I can make it to the real one, even if I made the playfield myself by redrawing and copying/pasting a lot :)
 
Notes about the table:
 
* The RAMPS: they are blue by default, but use the F12 menu to change the color. I simply don't like plastic ramps, I feel they make the tables feel cheap :)
 
* The Darker Levels: again, use the F12 menu to select the dark level you prefer. There are 10 normal levels and 10 warmer levels, if you prefer that look.
 
* There is a nice directb2s at vpuniverse made by Wildman.
 
Enjoy! :)

What's New in Version 6.0.0 (See full changelog)

  • 6.0.0 Updated September 2025
  • - Moved LUT to User Options (F12)
  • - Added some extra options to the User Options (F12)
  • - Updated physics to my latest rev 4.3.1. mostly bouncier rubbers and harder flippers.
  • - Added an option to change to Marilyn graphics
  • 5.5.0 Updated 14.12.2024
  • - New playfield mesh to avoid the ball getting stuck on top of the flippers.
  • - Fixed my ball spin control, which were too aggressive, and it killed the ball's acceleration, making the ball too slow, getting stuck on ramps, and also being unable to climb the ramps on many tables.
  • - Updated for VPX8 (adjusted reflections, equirectangular ball, linked flashers to lights, incandescent lights)
  • - Updated physics to my Rev3. Including physics materials, flipper code and slingshot shapes.
  • - Updated LUT images and display system, 10 darker shades and 10 warmer shades.
  • - some graphical changes (playfield mesh with holes, metal wall guides, lights warmer)
  • - added a screenshot for scutters file explorer handler
  • 4.3 Updated 1.11.2023

  • - Fixed script bug using the wrong command for the flashers (thanks kiwi for reporting it)

I was wondering about this. So this seems like a good time to ask.. Can we not flip between playfields like plastics options in the script?
That way it's one table and in the script you set "marilyn = 1" and the playfield and apron change to the marilyn version.. Is that not possible?

thats was our first attempt....and yes it does work... BUT because the secondary PF is not a real "playfield" reflections and stuff like that are not cast.....
