File Submitted: 28 Feb 2015

Manufacturer: Other - Pinball
Year: 1987
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

This is Wolf Man by Peyper, Desktop edition.
 
Akiles asked me to recreate this rare pinball machine made in Spain. He sent me some nice images of the plastics and the populated playfield, so I did a redraw of the covered areas. Although a manual was availiable, the solenoids are not mentioned and the lamp and switch numbers were not correct. So I sat down and fiddled out the switch reactions and the lamps that were triggered by some trigger hits. The funny thing was that there were multiple spare triggers that are behaving almost as the ones, necessary for a proper game reaction. Finally Akiles was able to get a video of the real pin and with that material it was possible to complete the game rules. I include them in the table info and below here.
Additional thanks go to Batch for creating the backdrop image, Fuzzel for providing the lightmap images for the inserts, Kodiac for the flipper primitive routine and to JPSalas for the ball gates.
 
Configurable options at the top of the script are
 - GI brightness
 - FreePlay (faked)
 
I added a DIP switch menu to control the Match Feature, coin settings and the number of balls. You can access it via hitting F6. Please reset the table with F3 after any changes.
 
I included a backdrop image with less nudity. If You want to use this, go to the backdrop view and change the image from "Backdrop_Wolf Man_Batch" to "Backdrop_Wolf Man_Pegi" in the options menu.
 
Remark: The ROM values are not saved when the game is switched off (credits and high scores).
 
Have fun and please use the support topic to post any findings and suggestions.

Sorry, but again I have a problem with one of your tables.

In this case when it starts I get the following error message:

 

Line: 77

Game name not found

 

I use VP 9.9.0 and PEYPER.VBS 3.43

 

Any help, Thanks

   I assume you downloaded the rom?

[Pin-Pete]

Thanks for this beautiful table, mfuegemann. It looks and plays great.

[jupiter01]

Yes, I downloaded the ROM file.

 

The truth is that since about a year ago I installed Winsows 7 OS I have had some strange problems with vp tables, including some that worked perfectly before. 

For example, I have several of them that when I intruce coin, it produces the sound of "coin in" but it does not affect the number of credits.

In some other the problem is with the plunger, as it does not move and does not push the ball forward.

Hi Jupiter01,

 

please try to rerun the pinmame setup to validate the correct paths. The not registered coins can almost certain be solved by downloading the nvram files.

 

Regards

Michael
