Ensure your backglass is running in exe mode.  Your specs are plenty, are you running a 4K playfield or just HD?

My playfield is a 49' HD 1080p monitor but want to go to 4k soon. But that was it, changed it to run in exe mode. By the way should I run all tables in EXE mode? When should I use EXE mode, only when it stutters like that? Thanks for the help!

Pressing my credit button adds four credits each time.  I looked at script and couldn't decipher if there was a change I could make.  Any suggestions?

Looks like you need the "already changed" NVRAM Files from here ( or you can change the Coin - Settings, but that is not so easy with the Menu ... ):

www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1362 

Just take the .nvram File to your ROM and put that in the /nvram - Folder ... Play !

Setup.exe often tells you extra information - like if it is a 7 digit rom - french or whatever. If it is only one number change, it is often just that. Roms with different rules or fixes. So, it isn't really a "right" rom, it all depends on what rules you want to play after, if, it isn't something like I mentioned. A difference of digits before the counter rolls over to 0 again. Just make sure that the rom you've got is validated as OK by pinmame for all the files in the zip archive.

I also made notes in script of what they were (some were guesses)  you can also pick the rom there..  (6) and (7) are probably your best bets..  depending on how many digits you need in the score.

This is one of my definite favorite tables, thank you so much for this recreation.

I've noticed one graphics oddity that I cannot reproduce, it seems to come by random:

The table lights, as above the top rollovers, arrows pointing to targets and the multiplier lights are sometimes not visible. They are all hidden for the whole session. If I restart VPX (10.7.3 32bit) they sometimes appear, sometimes do not.

Has anyone noticed similar?

I wonder if this happens due to this being done for older VPX version?

 

edit: I also noticed another thing: the 7-digit backglasses are not working well. The scores are not updating and the center whirl is not turning anymore.

I'm running the B2s 2.0.
