Black Pyramid (Bally 1984) Authentic and Fantasy B2S Backglass

The Black Pyramid (Bally 1984) VPX table was the very first table I loaded when I upgraded my cab to 4k - and wanted to make the best possible (with available resourced) animated b2 for it. I still play it regularly and it is one of my favorite tables.

Started with an 'ok' backglass image, upscaled with AI, cleaned it up as best as possible - but it is still no where near perfect - but the Fantasy version makes up for any flaws.

Created semi-authentic lighting with photoshop snippets and created 2 versions:

Authentic Version - with 'turn on' feature

Fantasy Version - added real 30 fps (49 frame) torch flame animation

Because of the complexity of the Fantasy animation - I could not make 1 backglass with Authentic and Fantasy Modes, which is why there are 2 file versions.

If the Fantasy version bogs-down your system, then use the Authentic version or set the B2s to skip frames or slow down the torch animation.

Also included is a new clean wheel image.

Topper and DMDs can be found in a one of my previous uploads: https://www.vpforums...&showfile=14770

Both versions have been color matched and fully tested.

... Press F6 and enable Credits.

That's what it was. F6 and enable credits in the ROM settings.

Thanks guys
