File Name: PacDude's Monopoly VP 9x MOD

File Category: VP/VPinMAME 9.x - MOD Tables

Author(s): PacDude
Manufacturer: Stern
Year: 2001
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Yes, with approval

Mod of PacDude's VP 8 "Monopoly" to work with VP 9. Fixed all the drop targets, fixed the ball getting stuck behind the electric company ramp, removed the gate post that the ball would get stuck on in the upper right of the machine, widened a ton of ramps, lanes and other parts of the machine to accommodate the larger ball in vp 9 and fixed the wire ramp in the upper right of the machine (every once and a while, the ball would slow to a stop after slower shots up the ramp, gave a little fraction of incline to fix the problem). Table works great now and is a ton of fun. 
Enjoy!

It uses the ROM set that only rolls THREE on the dice.  The older set helped you with numbers you needed.

fs fs fs fs ;-) look nice made

[eyes0fblue]

Belfry's post is true- the previous rom link only allowed a 3 roll on the dice. updated the ROM link to an older version that rolls different numbers. 

fs fs fs fs ;-) look nice made

there is a full screen version of this. there wasnt a desktop one for 9x until now. 

boiydiego - here is the link to Apex's FS version of monopoly

i'll look into it for you. all my tables are desktop, so working with FS issues may be a problem, i'll check it out.

[eyes0fblue]

the sign with the locomotive on it on my it little blurry the text on it .

I uploaded an update that fixes this, plus i replaced the police target with a brighter, more visible one. The sign is also brand new, so i had to remake the reel that works the lights. looks good, thanks for the suggestion. the update is version V2. 

[boiydiego]

Tons of fun? This table is hard as fuck. 80% of the right return lane re-entries(not from the right ramp return) fall in the outlane, about 15% of the time the ball exits the bumpers area it center drains or even worse, falls into the left outlane, some The Bank ramp shots or missed Railroad ramp shots(right side of ramp) fall SDTM and the upper right flipper has so much range you can too easily make both The Bank ramp shots and left outlane shots with it.

 

All this is forgiveable because with some global gravity and friction increases(gravity constant=1.4, contact friction=0.0033 plus flipper, plunger and kicker strength adjustments to match) you can get more control to prevent these, plus set the default ROM game difficulty level to help accomodate. But why did you set the flippers scatter angle to "-11"? As it stands without modification, I did not enjoy playing this table at all. I unfortunately could only appreciate it as an academic and artwork achievement, which is quite impressive. With my changes to gravity and friction, it's still tough, but much more playable and fun.

 

Also, the ball is still frequently getting stuck behind one of the bumpers, and occasionally the diverters for both of the ramp return lanes don't switch away from the inlanes fast enough and the ball gets stuck there as well.

change min max slope to 6,4   6,4  diff to 1   then it plays way better rogerroger !!

[eyes0fblue]

rogerroger- i didnt change the scatter angle of the flippers, nor did i set them at -11. thanks for letting me know about the bumper issue, i will fix it and post and update.
