[unclewilly]

you are to kind to us with all these tables you do. I appreciate all the work you put in to this community

[TAB]

Shit. Have forgoten to set the screws on the plastics.
Will tomorrow add them. Now need some sleep

I love your new Q*Bert table Tab, even without the screws in there. It does play ever so much nicer than your last great version. I did notice that when you TILT there is not enough room for the ball to get between the bottom flipper and wall to reach the drain. Otherwise, it's a winner all 'round.....and around....and around.

I haven't checked this out yet (JUST got home a couple hours ago and passed out from 6 hours of road-weariness).

I'll upload the pics and video, TAB, so you have more to go on for accuracy

I think I may start a newer section in the Design Resource section that will include pics and video of the table in action.

I remember playing this table at a grocery store. It was one of the more interesting Gottlieb tables I had seen.

That sounds good

...and sorry saying again - made only of the flyer

thanks TAB, gonna check it out! Q-Bert is an awesome video game as well.

I like this flipper very much - but I have serious troubles with one pocket on the right side (where "Wrong Way" is). The ball is not fitting in there so it gets stuck as soon as entering the pocket, it is not shot back to the playfield. So I can not play this great flipper! Maybe it has something to do with the screen resolution I use (800 x 600) but I can not change that as I'm using PinMAME in a real (video) arcade cabinet with maximum resolution 800 x 600. Can somebody please fix that? Thanx!

Problem solved! I downloaded the version provided here and this version works. I do not know from where I had the other version but it's a little bit different (and was version 2.2 or so).

I downloaded this DT table & ROM - twice. But the playfield displays as solid black yet the background image is there. The edit screen does show playfield graphics so I'm presuming the data is there.

 

Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks -

I downloaded the other DT version you mentioned & it works. Initially I skipped it because it looked too wide (too short & fat). But it works & sure is different to play.

[STAT]

... but you can Change this easy for your personal view:

Editor: Backdrop / Options / decrease XScale

Optionaly try to Change other Parameters too.

 

Also you can make a DT Version from the one FS Version, as i said above,

for me this is the best Version.

Only try to copy the Parameters ( Backdrop  / Options ) from the one DT to the FS Version,

then adjust all a bit for your personal and best view
