I mean...going off that picture, your screws are off by 90 and it could just be that the person who installed them on that table got it wrong, too!
Honestly, in not even sure what they're supposed to be (dino whales?) so I'm good no matter what lol

And thank you for the quick response, hoping my flippers/GI/GameOnTimer are fixed by the update

The bumper covers are upside down... need to rotate the image 180 degrees.
 
I did it here and solved

Not per the pictures of the real life working table

Well, it is the letter T and the letter M actually

 

Your going to make me go play in blender, aren't you

adjust duration of GameOnTimer

try going up or down in increments of 2, might be a little CPU dependent 

I will look at employing Michael's fastflips method to the table, it uses a lot more timers and triggers but might
be a little less system dependent

 

Many thanks! I tried to increment up to 60 (by two's increment as stated) but it seemed to get better at first then got worse and worse. I just tried one decrement once (to 38) but it already seemed worse. Getting late here, I'll try again tomorrow, unless your fast flips update solves the issue.
 

 

 

I will upload it this evening

I in the mean time, temporarily just comment out the entire gameon time sub

and just hard set it that gamerunning = 1

 

line 46

Dim GameRunning

 

change to 

Dim GameRunning : GameRUnning = 1

 

then search script for gamerunning

and where ever you see it say = 0, change it to = 1

which i think is only the drain

 

It will just mean that the flippers run even if game is over or you tilt

That is preferable to running with out fast flips cause on these ltd ROMs you will get hella flipper lag, and VPN does not support native fastflips

for LTD as they do not have a gameon lamp or solenoid etc.

 

It's too CPU dependent, if the timer floats a little, it gets too picky.

 

I had given out test copies to people, but either their machine did not display the issue or they did not mention it
i did not really get any feed back either way.

 

Anyways, a new version will be going up tonight using a different method of making sure it is valid to use the flips
it will be less timing critical so should be more compatible and still give the advantage of fast flips

 

And to make everyone happy, i have rotated the bumper cap graphic 360 degrees

Thank you so much Wiesshund, it seems the update made it work perfectly now. I played a couple of games and not a single issue whatsoever! I'll test more to be sure and come back to you.

 

"rotated bumpercap graphics 360 degrees" LOL! All jokes aside, the perfectionist in me nagged me to put into contribution the little Portuguese I learned yonks ago in hope of finding a flyer as the manufacturer should know the right orientation, but no cigar. I found this though:

It's on Amazon Brazil too but no peeking inside. Maybe there are some original pictures in it. Is there anyone here from Brazil having this book?

 

Greetings!

Thanks for the update, flippers work perfectly now 

 

Just a little problem, at the end of each play, I can hear the melody of the song "happy birthday to you", and today is not my birthday

It's the un-birthday tune

Can not do much about that, it's ROM audio, just the quirky way they programmed it.

I have the Taito´s book and only show Taito´s Table. The Time Machine pictures that i have the bumper is OK.

Hello Halen, thanks for replying. I think you mean it only shows the table from a distance without any detail, or maybe from the from with little visual detail of the playfield?

Only Taito tables. The book is only to Taito do Brasil. The Time Machine is LTD do Brasil. I have pictures of Time Machine..

If you explain how to show the picture in this forum? I show the picture.

I believe that the bumper covers were upside down due to an assembly error in some maintenance on this physical table...

 

but let's confirm, because a beautiful work like this deserves attention to detail!

Oh I see, sorry, my mistake. I don't know why but I had Taito in my head when thinking about this table. I've played a lot of these Taito machines recently, must be my brain that's confused...

Thanks batch!!!!

Good picture!

Finally the cap screws of the bumpers are vertically aligned.

Many thanks Halen, very detailed picture!

[teisen]

The question I raised would be about the print on the bumper cover (the letters T M) that would be upside down...

 

it wasn't about the alignment of the screws ok...

Gentlemen, let's give credit to Carlos Guizzo. Guizzo is responsible for the return to life of LTD's.
