Thanks mfuegemann you,re very fast building recreations.
Wildman is building the B2S file with a picture of backglass that I have sent.

Thanks

Thank you. I like this Zaccaria a lot more than Farfalla. It's a little easy though.... I turned the score over on my first play

Thanks for this table! Very fun

Thanks Michael, very nice table. Is it normal for the game not to have a light insert attract routine? . Coins up and plays fine here but just sits there with no attract light sequence.

I previously looked at this table for slashbot and yep there was no attract mode. You can see it here also - GAME OVER flashing on the backglass but no attract on table:  https://www.youtube....d fire zaccaria

 

Maybe its a rom setting but I did not see anything in the manual

[Dozer316]

Ah ok, thanks for the info. Kinda weird huh?. Thought there may have been some kind of weird emulation bug.

Hi Dozer316,

 

the difference between EWF and Pinball Champ '82 is incredible with only one year between the two tables. I was wondering too. I was glad to figure out the light solenoid, so at least the table flashes when Your bonus time is running out.

Thanks Michael, that effect is nice when the bonus is running down and thanks again for putting this together. I've become quite a fan of these Zaccarias and older Gottlieb machines.

Thanks a lot mfuegemann!  Like Dozer said I'm really getting to be a fan of the Zaccaria tables they just looks and play so nice.

I've been enjoying a few Zaccaria tables lately and stumbled across this one. It is so much fun and looks absolutely amazing... sharp graphics and all. Very nice!

This table looks really great... unfortunately, for some reason the ball, when rolling down the table is moving like it's in slow motion.  I tried to tweak gravity, slope and friction, but could not improve it.  I tried posting this in another thread but didn't get a response.  Anyone had a similar experience that might know how to fix this?  Thanks.

[gtxjoe]

Did you check if it is your nudge controller acting up?  Unplug it as a test

[Drybonz]

Hey gtxjoe, thanks for the reply...  well, I unplugged my nudge controller and it looks like it is the problem.  Good call.

 

I actually didn't even know it could cause a problem like that.  This is the first time it has happened.  Is there a way to fix it?
