Shadow: do you use any anti aliasing or other enhancements via nvidia or amd control panel?

No anti aliasing was turned on but some texture filtering was on.  I just turned off everything that I could in the control panel and the graphics problems went away. I then noticed that the upper right flipper has the jaggies. It had them before as you can see from the before pic.  Anyone else have this problem?Attached File  test 1.png   508.75KB   14 downloads

Thank you for this release.

It works fine with a desktop setting.

I think that the "extra ball" and "special" lights close to the top saucer are swapped.

Bodydump:  I finally had a chance to try this, what a great release!  Excellent attention to detail, love the animated drop targets, the lights, everything.

 

Question to all:  I'm not necessarily affected by OCD type stuff but one area that sometimes affects me is playing a wide body in a non-widebody ratio, something about the oval lights and pop bumpers I guess.  So 2 years or so ago, I had done a personal conversion of Atari Superman to an FS perspective. When I did, I had dabbled with changing the perspective to provide more of a widebody aspect ratio and when I did so, post/pop bumpers and lights looked better to me.

 

NOTE!  This has nothing to do with the table build which in my opinion is about as perfect as one can get for this beauty of a table!  But for those who like me are willing to sacrifice some screen real-estate for a more true aspect ratio, try these settings in the backdrop/options area and let me know what you think.  Note that this may not be the perfect aspect ratio but it seems to work well.

 

I would think that the majority can't handle that black area (changed from the default grey) at the top though, maybe we need a wall there with a "Marquee" style sign at the top ;)

Funny you mention this as a few days ago I was setting up Space Invaders on my cab and didn't like the oval shapes as a result of the ratio. What I ended up doing was the following:

Still on the fence whether I will keep it this way or revert back to the oval look but as you mentioned it is an eye sore at times out of proportion :)

I agree about the widebody tables not looking good on the usual screen. Personally, I think the above two views are much better. I really like the Space Invaders logo in the screen shot.

Loafer, thanks a lot for your settings, I'll change my cabinet to use the same.
