1.1 (b2s): This is an update of the b2s only, you can now see the "1" digits on score reels.
      Thanks to Michel Achille for the rom update, and also to the GitHub team for what they do !
      The rom is the "brain" of the table, so, no rom, no table.
 
 
1.1 (table): Reduced the gap between flippers, it's now more like on the IPDB photo of the pinball machine. Thanks to ryesteve for telling me.
       It's also a little bit easier to play !  :) 
      Thanks also to Toxie, Gerrit Volkenborn, and the team from Github for the updated rom.
 
 
1.0: Information about the table:

I started this table in 2021, using VP9 version from Destruk/TAB, but I stopped after finishing full playfield and plastics redraw.
I worked again on this table at the beginning of 2026, and JPSalas helped me a lot. 
He updated the script, added physics, materials, sounds, made lights work and brought this old table back to life !

This is a French pinball machine from Christian Tabart.
He said that the "Brain" of L'Hexagone was Gottlieb's Genie and that he had 150 machines made. 
He had the kits made and delivered to his workshops in Montgeron, France.
Agnès Dusaugey did the artwork for the backglass and playfield.

I added, with again the help of JPSalas, an option in the F12 menu to change the language on Instruction and Score Cards.
You have six possible languages:
French, of course.
Spanish, translation by JPSalas.
English, validation of the translation by Clyde.
Italian, translation by Kiwi.
German, translation by MFuegemann.
Portuguese/Brazilian, translation by Teisen.

Rules are in the F12 menu too, in French, and in English (sorry, there's no more place for other languages).
 
I also added LUT and Cabinet Rails options.

Big thanks to bluenmaize for the rom !

Hope you like it, French virtual pinballs are rather rare !

Information about the directb2s:

Original Backglass by dboysrecords 2014, big thanks to him !

I did a full redraw of the backglass image and added the lighting.

JPSalas added Game Over, Tilt, Highscore to date, Match and Ball in play Lights.

I really don't know what to tell you.

 

Did you try to delete the nvram file ?

Yes, I tried deleting the nvram but it's still the same result.
Hey it is playable, I just have to remember that a blank digit is actually a "1".
Note I also have the latest b2s server.

I just realized you're a cab user, so it's a problem with the b2s, not the table !

 

I'm a desktop user, and I just know that the rom links the table to the b2s.

 

If I want to see the backglass with the table on the screen of my PC, I have to uncheck the square "disable b2s" in the window below (and I can't see the "1" digits either !)

 

And I think I have the last B2SServer version: 2.1.6.392-5494a8a-win

 

What is strange is that when I made the b2s file, I'm sure I could see the "1" digits, but no more now !

 

And I used the same rom.

For you, is this square checked or unchecked ?

Yes, I have that box unchecked as I am a cab user.

I think I've found the solution, you have to replace the rendered led by the one below, tell me if it's ok for you and I'll upload the new version of the b2s file.

Et Voila! Tu l'as trouvé!

That's it! I made those changes to the b2s and it now works. Thanks Batch.

tHANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE ON THE bACKGLASS !!!!

A huge thank you for recreating this table. I didn’t know about Christian Automatic tables before, and this has been a wonderful discovery for me. The work done is truly fantastic and very enjoyable to play. Looking forward to discovering your future creations. Thanks, friends!

Help!  I have tried most of the rom-fixing suggestions above.  I have downloaded the rom from VP Universe.  No luck, rom is corrupt or not correct path.  It is in the correct path, btw, in my rom subfolder.  I did a web search on hexagone.zip and downloaded a different rom.  No luck.  I used the rom from VPForums, but as expected and discussed above, no luck.  Lastly, I copied and renamed the genie.zip rom and named it hexagone.zip.  Reported file is corrupted.  I checked the zip contents and the missing bin, again discussed above, is in the zip.

 

Any other ideas?  Thank you in advance.
