@stat : I don't understand. What did you expect should happen ? I'm no expert on Gemini 2000, but since it is a "replica" of Centaur I mean ??

Ok, so it looks that none of us have a clue about the game's rules Then I guess they are not bugs, but features

[Thalamus]

LOL. Good answer JP. Carlos might need to chime in here.

[jpsalas]

I just talk to him and he says the table plays as it should, and that "the table is perfect!"

 

Many of what we refer to as "bugs" in the Taito tables, are usually "features", like to restart the table the same state as when the power went off, and for us "virtual" players it means if you quit playing at ball 2, next time you start the table it will continue with ball 3. As I said before, I guess the power lines in the 70's or 80's in Brazil were not very stable, and they could go off at any time, that's why they built that feature

Multiball ? Isn't mentoined at IPDB, but ok … also i could't end the Game after all Ball was drained.

But Maybe someone can tell us more About it here ?

Ah thanks Thalamus, i didn't know that Looks like all is ok, exc. Game didn't End,
i have to try that again.

@JP LOL. I keep seeing if for me. You have this awesome first ball. All of a sudden the power goes and then you wait for 6 hours for the second ball ?

 

Brazilians and ingenuity at its best if you ask me. Love it !

[STAT]

Ha - i have to correct myself, of Course, IPDB "mentoined" it, and there are "5 Bolas": https://www.ipdb.org...cno=6441&zoom=1

I guess it was the same like in Mallorca when I was a kid as the power could go off one or two minutes and then come back. Sometime it could go off for 5 minutes. And it could happen several days a week, mostly when I was watching a movie on the tv

 

Anyway, I'll make a small update in a few minutes, since I found a typo in the script

 

Line 206 was:

 

Sub sw61_UnHit:Controller.Switch(16) = 0:End Sub
 

and it should be:

 

Sub sw61_UnHit:Controller.Switch(61) = 0:End Sub

 

You see, 16 instead of 61. Not very important, since it is the outlane, but important enough
 

 

UPDATED

1.0.2 Update 08.08.2018
- fixed script error in switch 61, left outlane

 

Sometimes is good to go through all the script again, even if you are 100% sure everything is ok

I have also adjusted a little the rubber on top of the left target so there is a little more opening to hit the captive ball from the right flipper

Thanks for the "small" Update and now i got a "Multiball" and all was working

[humanoide]

wow! fantastic table and excellent work,

thanks and congratulations to the three for this masterpiece, JP, Guizzo & akiles, 

[arngrim]

Thanks JP for another rare gem, it is a beauty

 

 

The bumpers need also a DOF id since they share the sam switch, here's the updated code

 

' Bumpers

Sub Bumper1_Hit:vpmTimer.PulseSw 72:PlaySound SoundFX("fx_bumper", DOFContactors), 0, 1, -0.04:DOF 103, DOFPulse:End Sub

Sub Bumper2_Hit:vpmTimer.PulseSw 72:PlaySound SoundFX("fx_bumper", DOFContactors), 0, 1, 0.04:DOF 104, DOFPulse:End Sub

Great table!  I too get the weird ball movement in the center of the table.  I thought it was intentional and quite a cool effect.  I might be disappointed if it is accidental.

 

Just lowered playfield elasticity as suggested by Kiwi and that fixed it.  No more magnet effect.  But just for fun raised playfield elasticity to 1 and it is quite entertaining. 

 

That sounds to me more like a bug than a feature I increased the playfield elasticity mostly for the tables with ramps, so the ball could jump a little when falling from the ramps. I didn't see that weird ball movement in the other tables I increased the elasticity, like in Transformers. I'll make an update, but first I want to try it with a value of 1, it sounds fun

 

 

Pessoal, eu joguei esta mesa e várias outras da Taito do brasil e algumas mesas a bola realmente ficava presa em alguns locais.

Só balançando a mesa pra a bola sair.

 

Lembro da minha infância ao jogar estas mesas.

Fico muito feliz

 

Muito obrigado a todos

 

PS. Não sei se postei esta mensagem no local correto.

[wiesshund]

thanks for updates

[tmpc]

Thanks for the updates.

[teisen]

JP as reported by message...

 

This happened playing yesterday... ball stuck in the flag at the moment it went up...

 

chances of happening... 1 in 1 million

 

sorry for the quality of the photo...

 

 

hugs

[jpsalas]

Thanks teisen, I'll take a look, but I'm not sure if it is something I can fix

[ryesteve]

Can you please take a look at the 2x-5x lane at the top right?  I can't get any balls up to the top.  It enters the lane clean, but then it hits the sides on the curve and loses all momentum.  Thanks!

I'll take a look.

 

Edit: I found the error. I have moved the rubbers a little around and now the ball has a better passage up to the target
