Table based on Metallica Pro by Stern, from 2013.
 
Thanks to:
freneticamnesic: for the Spikey and Snake meshes.
EbiIsLit for the playfield.
 
This is another "JP's" table, meaning it plays like the original, but there are some differences. In this table there are no layout differences, only ornamental. I have added some decorations here and there,
The playfield is based on the EbiIsLit LE playfield, I simply edited to be the Pro version of the table.
 
There wasn't any Pro version for VPX, so I thought, why not make one? I still think the Pro version of this table has a better flow than the LE version.
 
Notes:
- Yes, the snake is hard to hit, and the ball many times will just bounce inside the head and it will not lock, as the original does.
- The spinners don't exist in the Pro version, but I had to add them, but they are situated at the start of the ramps. They do not score in the game, they are just there for fun.
- The lights are not leds, they are good old lamps :) So, there is no fancy Gi color lightning. But the LE version by VPW has incredible lightning :)
 
This table is for VPX8 only and it has been built and tested with RC4.
The ROM used is the PRO version, the latest for this table, download it from the Stern site and zip it to mtl_180. Don't use the LE or Premium ROM as  they will not work.
 
Everything should work just like the original Pro version, if you find any bugs don't hesitate to write them in the Support thread :)

WHAT A GREAT TABLE THKS JPSALAS

Hi JP,
even if I never installed in my cabinet the VPX8, I tested it on the PC and I must admit that this is great table.
 
I'll probably install the VPX8 only to run these tables leaving the VPX7 for the old fantastic tables that you and others designed for that previous nice simulator.
 
Thank you so much.

you might find most tables work just fine with VPX8.  I'm migrating to have that as my default.

awesome table!! thank you jpsalas

I have sticking flippers, maybe my rom file is wrong.

any ideas

press play and nothing happens. the ROM file is ok.

Please make sure that your B2S backglass is running in exe mode. This is usually the reason.
