Try this Phys.Settings, just Import, i adjusted Flippers a bit, it was ( for me ) hard to hit the right (Side and ...) Spinner ...
Now you can hit what you want, mostly !

two things come to my mind: either you forget to rename the bin file to ij4_210 before zipping or you used WinRAR for zipping (never worked for me, had same error as you have).
I tried it both ways, renamed to ij4_210.BIN and left it as original name. Neither way worked. I used 7-Zip to make the .zip file.
It does not show up in the Games list when doing the VPinMAME test. I'm not a programmer but am curious where that list of Games is stored. I'll update the VPinMAME later, after I shovel some snow.

I upgraded to PinMAME 3.0 and the table now works!
I'm playing in DT mode & it appears there is a small amount of ball stutter which I don't have with any other table in DT mode. Is this table more resource hungry than most? I turned off ball reflections which seemed to help a little but will have to play more to verify this. Is there a way to turn off ball reflections for just a single table? Or are all the Video Options global settings?
Thank you everyone for all your help.

in the tables options, you can change settings per table. Try to disable reflections on playfield. That's the easiest solution for most people with stutter problems.
Thanks,
That seems to help a little bit. I also went into Preferences > Video Options > Max Texture Dimensions & changed it from Unlimited to 1024, and that seemed to help a bit. It's not real bad but once I noticed the lack of smoothness I'm sort of focused on it. I'll have to play with the settings.

When you start the table and it says wait for the 4 balls to enter ark, you need to wait for about 8 to 10 seconds for the arks lid to close, and then the pinballs will be shot 1 at a time from plunger automatically. After the 4th ball is recieved by the ark, the game is ready for coinage and play.
(Don't shoot these 4 pinballs with plunger, they will automatically be plunged.)
Hope this helps you.

Will try it now. Thank you!
Sounds like the problems I had with this table on Beta rev3351. Beta 3352 will work...

I’m getting 38 fps with all the default settings. This is in DT mode.
Turned off ball reflections in Options > Table and in Preference > Video Options changed the Max Texture Dimension to 1024. The DMD display disappeared (in DT mode) and frame rate was 39 fps.
Reset those & reduced the Elements Detail Level all the way to minimum (slider to the left). Frame rate was 37 fps.
Reset again and in Options > Table I turned off 4x AA (SSAA) and In-game AO. And Disabled Post-proc AA. Still had 38 fps.
I closed out the table after each of the above steps to make sure the settings were saved.
Any suggestions?

Beta 3352 did help, only problem now is that the message asking to wait until 4 balls enter the ark doesn't go away after they're locked! Can play a game but message stays. Doesn't get much weirder! Thoughts?
