Thanks, Tab!! Was thinking of updating this, but no time.

Thanks very much for making the effort on this TAB. You know how much we have appreciated your many years of great pinball recreations.

Hopefully doing the hobby you love adds energy to your health. Cheers to your positive spirit.

Thanks TAB for this table.

I like that hyperdriven hyperball! The thing is FAST, much faster than the Arcade Table! And it responds to the nudging ... feels like a real table should!
This brings back lotsa memories, one of the first tables I played back in the day!


Sorry to hear about your health. Hope you'll get well soon!

Best wishes!

Thanks for the great table TAB!
The table played fast and furious!

I did have alot of problems with the dipswitch menu.
The balls per game were tied to the wrong dipswitch and the outlane options were all wrong,
as if they belonged to another game altogether. I downloaded the manual from the pinball
database and rewrote the dipswitch routine to go along with the proper game features.
Here is my effort if you want to copy and paste it into the script:

Sub editDips
Dim vpmDips : Set vpmDips = New cvpmDips
With vpmDips
.AddForm 700,400,"Electronic Pinball - DIP switches"
.AddFrame 2,0,240,"Maximum credits",&H00070000,Array("5 credits",0,"10 credits",&H00010000,"15 credits",&H00020000,"20 credits",&H00030000,"25 credits",&H00040000,"30 credits",&H00050000,"35 credits",&H00060000,"40 credits",&H00070000)'dip 17&18&19

I can't get my copy to work. First the "game name" was off (it was looking for Nightr20 and it said table1) now the table opens and that's it. Blank displays, but the table opens with no errors. Won't take coins either. I tried all 3 roms for this table, so I know I have the right one. Am I missing a file or something?

[TAB]

Try this rom.

And forgoten to add the 10000 Bonus lamp. It is L19.

Corrected and both version updated.
Sorry folks - hoping this was my last error on this table.

[ta2686]

Thanks TAB!

[bolt]

Thank you TAB.
No problem, if I find a bug, I tell you about it.

Now i am outing me

Instead every time to post 'thank you' - yes the counter runs.
More important to help the guy!!!

Sorry - helping someone is more important.

[rob046]

Thinking was my last table
Have so much problems seeing all - is this 9 or 0 Glasses don't help.
Left hand nearly doesn't work...

But have fun with this table

Sorry to hear that. I hope you can at least still play real & virtual pinball! Luckily you don't need great health to play! I know you are such a big pinball fan.
Can you at least continue your work of getting stripped PF pics & continue to help in that way?
I don't know how you've been doing it, but you are getting stripped PF pics for games like Mystery Castle! Nobody else has access to games like this, so I hope you can still be involved. In this way, you can still help the community make tables. If not... you have done lots of work over the years, be proud of what you have already done.

[Itchigo]

Still having problems here. I d/led the nightr20 rom (actually I have all 3 for this game) and still can't get it to work. First it says Game name not found so I change table 1 to nightr20, now the table opens up, but that's it. It just sits there, no digitals, no coins or sound. What next?

[sast05]

There is one more small change necessary. The "Double Bonus when lit" lamp below the top saucer hole never comes on during game play. It was labeled L38 but I don't believe that is it. When I looked at the electrical schematic, the "Double bonus Lamp" was connected in parallel to the "arrow" lamp labeled L9. I renamed the lamp labeled L38 to L9a and added one line to the script:

Sub UpdateMultipleLamps

B45.SetValue ABS(Controller.Lamp(45) )
B14.SetValue ABS(Controller.Lamp(14) )
B30.SetValue ABS(Controller.Lamp(30) )
B46.SetValue ABS(Controller.Lamp(46) )
B62.SetValue ABS(Controller.Lamp(62) )
B15.SetValue ABS(Controller.Lamp(15) )
B31.SetValue ABS(Controller.Lamp(31) )
L9a.state=L9.state

End Sub

Hope that settles all issues!
Thanks for a great table!

[TAB]

Sorry - i can't be lamp9 because after hitting the double bonus the lamp must be on.

@Itchigo -Strange is this the only table which doesn't run?

[sast05]

By renaming L38 to L9a and adding the line to the script, the light below the saucer should come on at the same time as the first arrow light. This is the best time to shoot or nudge ball into that saucer! This will enable the double bonus and turn on the double bonus lamp in the lower playfield.

[TAB]

Now i see - yes you are right
But you must set only the timer interval of this lamp to 9 instead of 38

[TAB]

Updated again.
...and added a wall - so the gate doesn't go through the apron.

[Sabbat]

Thanks for the update TAB, Night Rider is one of my favorite tables. The plastics look nice and sharp! looks good man

[TAB]

Sorry to all - such a fucking not perfect table never done before.
