 '*  Thanks to the following for their contributions (whether they know it or not!)
 '*  If I have missed anyone, let me know as this table would not exist without the

 '*
 '*  hauntfreaks - playfield and plastics redraws
 '*  JPSalas - gameroom backdrop and methods gleaned from his fantastic tables
 '*  EalaDubhSidhe - table object templates
 '*  Black - HS save/load routines
 '*  Itchigo - table templates which gave me ideas on how to accomplish what I wanted in this table
 '*  CONRAM - various code ideas learned by tracing through code on his tables
 '*  akiles50000 - for that totally awesome tutorial on table building. So much stuff I now understand because of the work put into this tutorial
 '*  Inkochnito - scorecards/instruction cards
 '*  Pinuck - Gottlieb chimes and score motor routines
 '*  Herweh - directB2S designer and tools
 '*  JimmyFingers - rolling ball and other objects' sound routines
 '*  arngrim - added DOF to table
 '*  bodydump - for turning me to using primitives
 '*  UncleWilly - primitives template
 '*
 '*  Of course, the team behind Visual Pinball - without them, there wouldn't be much choice for playing pinball on a PC
 '*  I also must include Black and Future Pinball as I used objects on that platform to help in building my VP tables.

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.

Nice recreation!

 

I think that all elements are well tuned. It plays like a real EM pinball.

 

Thank you.
