File Name: Space Shuttle (Taito do Brasil - 1982)

File Submitter: jpsalas

File Submitted: 14 Aug 2018

File Category: VPX/VPinMAME Recreations

Author(s): jpsalas
Manufacturer: Taito
Year: 1982
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval


Based on the Mecatronics (taito) table from 1982.      
- Thanks to Carlos Guizzo for all the resources including the redraw images by DanielZ.
- Thanks also to editoy for the backglasses, although I used the redraw from DanielZ to make the backdrop in the desktop view.
- Shuttle model by NASA, texture modified by Sepeteus and by me.
- Playfield based on the redraw by DanielZ
- Plastics and apron redrawn by me.
 
 
Some notes:
- Fastflips is enabled. If you still use an older VPX or vpinmame you may need to change line 21 from Const UseSolenoids = 2 to Const UseSolenoids = 1. This means: if your flippers don't work, then change this line :)
- I got permission from pinball58 to use his 3D ramp model, but I didn't use it. You know me I always like to use VPX own objects :) So I used walls and ramps to make those ramps and plastics. And since I redraw all the plastics then I made them fit. They may not 100% to the original, but they look nice to me :)
- The rules should be similar if not the same as Williams Space Shuttle, but the playfield has a few differences.

These are my tables, sorted by date, all them playable with VPX 7 or newer:

After 18 years making tables, it is time to take a rest and let new authors do their thing.

I guess at last I'll play some more pinball :). But I'm sure I'll make some table updates from time to time :)

Thank you so much JP for another great Taito release ( I'm sure it is ... you never disappoint )

 

I welcome that you've put useSolenoids=2 as default. It is a huge improvement to gameplay. And I think it is a great idea to explain WHY these tables has that odd ROM behavior in the release info.

I see that you have had a lot of guys providing resources so thank you also goes to Carlos Guizzo, DanielZ, NASA, Sepeteus and DanielZ.
 


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

Delete the nvram file to reset the rom.

The nvram is called the same as the rom. The rom is sshuttle.zip, so the file in the nvram folder is called sshuttle.nv

 

So deleting this sshuttle.nv will reset the rom to its defaults.
