The options menu is now available by holding down the left flipper key for about 2 seconds when a game is not in progress. Once opened, left flipper moves between the different menu items and the right flipper goes through that item's available choices.
 
For this table, I am using my new method for enabling/disabling the dB2S backglass. By default the backglass is disabled. The easy way to enable it is this method:
1.Launch table and then exit. It will auto-create a file in the USER folder of VPinball named "LMEMTables.txt"
2.Open this file in notepad and change the "0" to a "1" and save.
3.Next time you launch, the backglass will launch.
Or for the die hards out there, create a text file in the USER folder named LMEMTables.txt and put a "1" (no quotes) on the first line and save it.

Looks great I'll give it a go but have you ever tried to use a dB2S on a single monitor? I have and no matter what I do it always renders behind the table or do you have a solution or does it work for you somehow?

Thanks Loserman76 I love it that table.

[loserman76]

I actually have 2 monitors so I play my desktop versions with the backglass on the 2nd screen. I've tried playing around with the directB2S settings, but nothing allows me to use it on the same window as the table (maybe Herweh can update the dll's for directB2S to handle that?).

 

 

Prior to directB2S, I know folks were creating EXE versions of backglasses that could do just what you are talking about (think Central Park, Hokus Pokus, Line Drive, Super Soccer). I never saw an actual tool for those, but obviously folks had one cause quite a few different people were making B2S backglasses for desktop versions of tables.

Amazing! Thank you very much!

 

I'm always happy when an old table which is far away from today's standards is made new.

 

And this one is famous. Like all of your tables.
