I remember playing this game back in the early 90's when the local arcade was full of Williams / Bally DMD games.  I distinctly remember that the call out quality of this game was terrible, even on the real hardware.  It was like a level or two worse than comparable games of the era, almost like the voice calls were sampled at 8Khz on a potato.   White water is similar, super tinny low resolution samples that sound harsh and clipped and TAF just scrapes though but it also pretty bad in my opinion.

Agree with Dozer.

Thanks​, JP for Party Zone.

The sound on the real one is exactly the same,

About time we do find someone with great sounding voices and run it through pinsound instead. I just checked btw, pinsound is aweful too.

Thanks for the feedback. Now I know at least that it isn't my system.

Thanks for a great table
On my 3rd go the ball went into the cosmic cottage and didn't come back out.

[Ben Logan]

If I happened to find my way into the cosmic cottage, I don’t think I’d come out either!

About the ball getting stuck into the cosmic cottage: a simple nudge and it will come out

Thanks JP, much appreciated 

[batch]

JP, thanks again for this table

 

I found something very funny and perhaps useful, you can have "stereo" DMDs !

Deleted. Why do I even bother. Please ban me now, I can't take this anymore.

I'm having a serious problem with the ball hitting the top of the left sling shot and about 80% of the time this causes a left outlane drain: As if the speed and direction of the bounce is nearly locked to cause a drain from that point of impact. My memory of playing it is distant, but I recall on the real table, the ball typically bounces back towards the center playfield on this point of impact.

 

Also noticed the slow ball speed compared to the VP 9.9 version. I reduced pf friction to 0.07 and increased flipper strength to 2300, but the flow is still slower than VP9 or the actual table. Must be some VPX limitation.

this dude again...LOL

I put walls in front of all the drains and set the friction to 0 on the playfield 

[hauntfreaks]

found this... the ball on a soft plunge gets hung up on the crest of the wall and gate standoff... I was about to just add a wedge there, then i seen this, seems the real table would have had the same issue as well.... but it was fixed with this wire guide (a wedge) ..... so I use a wire guide ramp.... not that you can see it while playing.... no matter, it cant get hung up now...

Thanky for the update.

[Draifet]

I tried to explain the same issue some posts ago, I said: "I only played 5 min, but on first launch the ball get stuck on the upper part of the loop, the screw is not collidable but I think that the base of the gate is the problem."

Thanks Hauntfreaks for explaining it properly and JP for the fix.

yep your right... I made the screw not collidable and that didnt fix it, its for sure the tab on the gate bracket

Has anyone noticed the small file sizes JP can make tables with?  Legend - so much complexity in such a small download.

[Stephanas]

Beautiful work. Thank you for all.

I know the real pinball very well. And I've found a problem with the three "Ah" targets at the upper right side of the playfield. It's impossible to light them on and so to activate the robot head...

Am I the only one to have this problem ?
