Does anyone know the playfield dimensions of cocktail tables like Caribbean Cruise or Night Moves?

Thanks.

Does anyone know the size of the Super Mario Mushroom playfield, i think the width is 20.250 inches, but the length?

Is there anyone who can confirm the dimensions of Batman Forever playfield 23,250 x 46.00, or is it half an inch shorter, 45.50?

Batman Forever could be 23 x 45 inches, I get these measurements if I convert the pixels of the image to inches,

the images I stitched together are scans, and so I assume they are flat and the right size.

No sure, never bothered to look as Jersey Jack has explicitly asked us not to recreate their tables

The Dimensions Manager says the Williams electromechanical tables are 20.50 x 42.00 inches,

I found somewhere, maybe on ebay, instead these measure 51.5 x 107 cm which is similar to the more common measurement of 20.25 x 42.

 

I was wondering if there could be any exceptions, it's not a big difference I'm only half a centimeter.

In the latest versions of Vp10.7x, the measurement of the electromechanical Williams playfield is 20.25 x 42,

the measurements have been changed compared to the previous versions.

 

I also participated in the discussions regarding the measures, but I didn't remember the detail of the EM Williams.

QUOTE (Originally by Plumb)
I did a little experiment, made a table 1000 units wide, had a ball roll to the flat bottom, copied to photoshop, and duplicated the balls from edge to edge along the bottom, and I came up with, based on the known fact that pinballs are 1 1/16" in diameter...

1000 VP units = 21.25" or 539.75 mm

therefore...

1 vp unit = .53975 mm

47 VP units = 1 inch

therefore...

 

In Dimension Manager a standard 20,25" x 42" playfield is 952x1974.

 

This bothered me a bit, since 1 inch is not 47, but 47,05882352941176 VP Units.

Which means a standard table is 952,9411764705882 by 1976,470588235294. Rounded 953 x 1976, not 952x1974.
 

Still bothered, I also did a little experiment. This time in VPX 10.0.8 beta5.

Made an empty table, 1000 units wide, and dropped pinballs into it. 20 pinballs fit fine.

Then i made the table 997 units wide. The 20 pinballs didn't fit correctly.

And then 998 units wide. And lo and behold, the 20 pinballs fit!

 

Therefore...

 

998 VP Units = 20 pinballs
1 pinball = 1.0625 inches
1 pinball = 49,9 VP units
1 inch = 46,96470588235294 VP Units

 

And a standard 20.25" x 42" table is 951,035 by 1972,517647, rounded 951 x 1973.

 

So by rounding down from 47.06 to 47, we were closer to the "real" value of 46.96 by chance. But multiplied by 42 or more, still off by a couple of pixels.

 

What do you think?

According to the drawings, the measurements of the Granny and the Gators playfield are 20 1/4 x 24 1/2 inches.

 

I'm not sure, maybe even Baby Pacman has the same measurements.

I think 952x1974 is ok :D


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 :)
