Thanks for your effort on the score tally Andy. otvclap.gif

What are peoples take on the FS scores.
Do you think it should be included for full cabs or keyboard only.

Personally, I use keyboard only atm.

Yep, thanks! I think seperating 4:3 and FS tables makes sense because they do play differently in my opinion. And while we are at it, FS is played by non-cab owning people too, it just involves rotating your screen by 90 degrees. It's just a bit sad that the FS competition is not that fierce. I really like being nr. one on LOTR FS but without competition it doesn't mean that much to me. Maybe I'll switch back to 4:3 just for competing!

Did you know that "playing pinball" is called "flipperen" in Dutch? Now you know and may your life be enriched by this arcane knowledge....

Thanks again for the update!

A good idea to seperate FS tables from desktop tables, as I think the FS tables would play different than the desktop versions.

welcome niliang, hi.gif.
When you post a highscore, make sure you also include Visual pinball and table version you played.
This is to be easily added in the highscore list. You can see the latest update to the highscore list at page 74.

I downloaded today Megapin version of lord of the rings table and finally I managed to beat the default grand champion score. I don't know why but this game has always been excruciatingly hard for me, especially lining up the shots. Anyway i managed to play there and back again.

Vp version 9.0.7
Table Author and version: Megapin V. 1.4 no fullscreen

Hey ANDROID, I'm totallly delighted, seeing my that you went through the trouble to even put some of my entries with just a screenshot and no other details in the list!
Just for the record, my real name is Max, just like my DMD name. (A really nice thing about having a 3 letter name is that you don't have to think of something different to put in the high score entry tongue.gif)

Oh, and here's one more score!

The one and only VP9 Whirlwind!
Score: 16,514,800

At first, I really didn't like this recreation that much, because I thought it was too bouncy. However, after playing some tables in real life, I realized that the bouncines really makes it way more realistic and now I love this one!

Nice socre niliang!

Unfortunately, you can not document a rollover score since the rom only goes to 9,999,999,990 before resetting to 0. You would have to try to get as close to rollover as possible and either tilt the game or drain the last ball to achieve the high score being recorded accurately.

That would mean reprogramming the code in the rom image to permit the score to go past 9,999,999,990 without resetting. The information in the DMD comes from the rom image based on the rom code from the actual machine.

Wow!! I love the fact that there is some competition going on for this score! Say thanks to your wife for me though, for not beating my 1.4B..... wink.gif It sounds like you could beat that score! Welcome to the high score thread Niliang! I would love to hear some details about your game, for example if you reached Valinor Multiball, or did you complete all movie multiballs, how many extra balls scored. Went There And Back Again? Etc,

PS: I had the DMD disappear sometimes on me, I got it back by alt-tab. That may not have worked for you though, if you also lost your ball, just some advice

my game...1st ball? 5 milion! second ball total awsome! i finish Valinor with the 2nd extra ball! and Valinor multiball incredible score i think 300 milion circa with 3 ball always on game they won't never go out!!!!!!!!!!!i finish the multiball at 1 bilion ! the 3rd extraball gone bad, but with the 3rd i got another extraball, but i have made a great mistake and Press the scroll botton instead of flipper botton so i got TILT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!the last ball my wife call me, so u know how is finished....
i have made the mistake of playn' near lunch time, it was clear that if it would have been a great game i couldn't have finished the match!
I know the alt+tab combination but just the DMD window was closed, not minimized!

ps: sorry for my bad english!
