Thanks to LH for allowing a mod on this table that he spent lots of time on & was a nice improvement over prior POTO's.  I had a few things I wanted to achieve with this.  Most importantly is get all bugs fixed on the table, add missing things & get it functioning 100%.  & get it updated to newer VP9 standards.
Also, polish things up a little with graphics & details.  Lastly to tune up the physics.  Thanks also to JimmyFingers for helping me troubleshoot an issue & also his tweaked B2B & flipper tap code is used.

I'll try to list some of the more noteworthy details here.  1 of the big changes is to the ball size, & thanks to updated B2B code from JF it was made easier to do this.  A ball change of this magnitude was likely never done before on a VPM table, so please report any bugs.  This table was created with too large a table size, which makes the ball look too small & can also affect how the game plays.  This hack increases ball size by 1.2x, which is quite a bit.

Next, a few pretty major bugs were found & fixed.  Previously, 3 ball multiball wouldn't work at all & if you kept hitting the organ you would be stuck forever in 2 ball.  2 of the 3 organ standups would only register once which prevented organ from opening a 2nd time the standard way.  The 2 ramp switches were reversed.  Numerous rollover switches wouldn't register when rolled over.  These things were all fixed, along with any other odds & ends I found along the way.

Pop Bumpers previously were always off & flashed when hit.  In real life, these are almost always on, but they will flash on/off when the GI lights also flicker.  This is a pretty neat effect on the table, & now it is enhanced since the bumpers are now synced up to the GI too.

I won't list all the changes & additions to visuals & objects..  Most notable is that transparent plastic areas are now properly transparent (alpha).  All new organ flap texture, & a nice ramp based animation for the opening & closing.  New backdrop image for desktop.  New ball image, but the old one is still available.  Flipper logos.
Koadic's new alpha plunger system is also installed.

Added a whole new, more detailed sound set.  Everything from rubber hits, to motor sound, to ball drops coming off the ramps, & others.  Existing sounds have at least been updated to my preferences, & missing sounds were added.
Another big change here is the addition of the B2B ball collision sounds, & I also use JF's most recent ball rolling code/sounds too.

Lastly with physics I attempted to dial things in as much as I could, though it was a little tougher to do that on this table, I'm guessing due to the table sizing issue & use of the increased ball size which also seems to add weight.  So I did my best to compensate for all of that.  While physics aren't 100% to my liking, they are still pretty good & definitely an improvement.

Both FS & desktop versions use new view settings that should be a bit better, & table is now angle independent.  FS now uses layback & looks a lot better.
Enjoy the table & please report any bugs or suggestions.
