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.
 
Operator menu options are as follows:
"[" - open/close the operator menu
"6" - changes balls per game (3/5)
"7" - Changes behavior of circus lights:
    -  individually lighting
    -  C's light together
    -  I/S light together
    -  R/S light together
    -  C's light together and I/S light together
    -  C's light together and R/S light together
"8" - Hole Light and Left Spinner light
    -  Hole light lit = Special, Left Spinner light lit = Extra Ball
    -  Hole light lit = Extra Ball, Left Spinner light lit = 100000 points
"9" - Sounds - Zaccaria beeping (quite annoying) or Gottlieb-ish type chimes (much nicer but not accurate)
"0" - Replay settings

Is that a left bracket (lower case next to the p key) that is used to open/close the operator menu?

When I press it I don't see or hear any response to it or the 6,7,8,9, or 0 keys.

What am i missing here?

Great looking table. Thank you

[loserman76]

On this table especially it appears that my operator menu is obscured by other images. For this FS version, I'll probably put some extra lines in the script so folks can modify the settings and not use the operator menu.

Thanks for the response and the beautiful Table.

 

I just noticed that if you hit the [ key before you start the game, some text does appear in the upper right hand side of the table. Still hard to read but there.

I also downloaded the DT table to see how the op menu looked there, and I set the sounds to the chimes. It effected the fs version as well..

Yep...nice table. And frustrating! I played quite a few games and did not replace the default high score...although if everything goes well in a game, I can see that it would be easily attained

Does this have a rom and if it does where's the link a search comes up empty?

[BobAlbright]

The rom is here...look again

[GNance]

Zaccaria Circus is an EM machine with an electronic sound card instead of chimes.  There is no ROM for this machine.

 

The electronic sounds from the sound card were awful.  There were aftermarket replacements made so that the sound card could be replaced with traditional EM chimes because the sound was so bad.

[Shadowsclassic]

Another great EM and a Zaccaria no less.  Thanks Loserman, looks and plays great!
