I found what makes the table hang, it is part of the script Pmax65 added. This does work on all the other Taito tables, but in this one it just hangs.

 

I'll fix that in my next revision, but for now, open the script, find the Sub NVramPatchExit, at almost the end of the script, and comment the 3 lines as shown below.

 

 

Sub NVramPatchExit

    If LampState(GameOverLampID)Then

        Kill GetNVramPath + "\" + cGameName + ".nvb"

 '       Do

 '           LampTimer_Timer          ' This loop is needed to avoid the NVram reset (losing the hi-score and credits)

 '       Loop Until LampState(20) = 1 ' when the game is over but the match procedure isn't still ended

    End If

End Sub

 

I'll check it a little more to see why it hangs, when other tables seem to work fine.

 

PS I guess you know that to comment a line you simply add a ' in front of the line. If you didn't know that, then now you know

This will probably be of 0 help to you maybe, but my Rowamet heavy metal table uses that Taito controller for it's hardware also
and i eliminated the powerloss game restore nvram issue with out that nvram resetting script, because i did not like how it worked on my table.
So i made the script watch the ROM for everything. game over, credits, player number, ball count, score etc.

You can actually kill the table in mid game, and then fire it up later, and the table will actually resume the game like the emulated hardware is doing.

Not exactly like i knew what i was doing when i did it, but if there is anything in it that helps, have at it.
If nothing else, it might give you a giggle at the clueless seat of the pants scripting.

On a side note, with a few minor adjustments this table did work with black knight rom
which was kind of neat, though probably would have been easier if i just traded art.
Though the black knight voice not is exactly fitting of a Brazilian made pinball  
Especially one built off of that particular Taito hardware.

Now if i could change his voice to say como esta pendejo, now you die, that could be interesting

been playing with this for giggles, it's amazing how similar the taito roms are

 

must have a Votrax sc01 on this table? though i dont see it in what schematics i can find

Sounds like the spanish wizard of wor or gorf

Yes. Actually, it's a SC01A chip.

And it speaks Brazilian Portuguese with a very hard American accent!

And, by the way, the 3.0 version of this table is already in the works by JP.

Ah Ha!
I knew i recognized that voice

You made me laugh
An American accent would be very hard indeed, given that there are probably 12,000 different ones
Even we don't understand each other always.

UPDATE:

 

3.0 Updated 21.11.2020

Updated script, images & physics:

- added the arcade physics 3.0

- removed workarounds for the vpinmame droptargets as they fully support SSF (hit sounds) with the latest vpinmame.

- new rolling routine that now includes the ball shadow, the ball drop sound from Rothbauer and my ball speed control.

- Easy change of the ambient lightning: Hold down LeftMagnaSave and with RightMagnaSave it will switch between LUT images, from light to dark, 9 levels, and the selection will be saved for the table.

- some extra collision sounds and more random hit sounds.

- new plastic images (thanks to Carlos Guizzo and Luiz Culik)

No spam

It's polite to say thank you

[teisen]

As there are many tables updated at the same time (JP is excited! I'm glad ), I'll also thank you for here...

 

thank you very much JP for your dedication and shared work.

Carlos was talking about Cavaleiro Negro with his friend, Tio Italo, ans he told him that the 5 ball ROM version does not have the multiball feature, it has only a score multiplier (2X, 3X). The multiball feature is only available in a specific 3 ball ROM version, which, unfortunately, seems to have been lost…

 

So I guess we'll enjoy the 5 ball ROM, with the scores multiplier

 

I came to look for the solution for the MULTIBOLA that doesn't work   .

I researched about the 3 ball ROM, and the story I found is that this ROM did not please the public. It was then changed to 5 balls, and perhaps something was lost with regard to MULTIBOLA.

How to you change the LUT's on this one? Usually with all your other tables the cntrl keys switch through them. They don't do anything on this table. Thank you.

I guess I forgot to mention it, since the CTRL keys are or should be use during the game to activate the magna saves.

 

I use the KeyFront key, the one called Front button (e.g. buy-in). The default key in VPX is the [2] key.

 

So, you press the [2] key, and keep it down, to activate the LUT changer and then the right CTRL key to step the choices, as before.
