 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.
 
 
This table uses Arngrim's new methodology for DOF/B2S configurations. Be sure to copy the controller.vbs file to your table folder if you don't already have one there.
First run of any table that uses this setup will ask you about DOF and what you have. After that, you are all set.
The backglass is a separate download, so be sure to grab that too

Another classic winner from the loserman thanks for sharing!

[arngrim]

you release too many tables, i can't follow to force feedback..
next one is firecracker while slowly busy with amh

[arngrim]

don't forget to release circus zaccaria DOF update..

[Shadowsclassic]

Beautiful work Loserman, once again you release a simply wonderful classic EM!  Thank you, thank you.

Love this one a lot. I think I get some kind of perverse pleasure out of watching the poor ball getting bludgeoned to death by all those bumpers!

Is anyone else getting a fatal error of some sort when running this one?  All other tables seem to work fine...

[BobAlbright]

Thank you Lman. Another nice job....and Bourne...it's working ok for me

[JAM0]

Thanks Loserman! This table has a super-nice physics feel along with being great looking. Very interesting layout by Gottlieb on this.

[randr]

fatal error here also

[dazzadasha]

Fatal error here too- can only back out through task manager.

Table looks great though

Alt tab to error then you can close it off

[loserman76]

Ok, I posted a 1.0a version that has some smaller resolution images. Hopefully that addresses your crashing issues.

[TheBourneID]

This one works for me--thank you!

[The Loafer]

You really need to change your member name to winnerman76 , looking forward to trying this out!

[dboyrecords]

Agreed, they are all great and seem to somehow get even a little better with each release!

THANK YOU!

[randr]

new a version loads just fine now. thank you

[BobAlbright]

Thanks again LM...curious why my high scores that I get when playing through the editor don't carry over to the post it note when I play the table through Hyperpin...or vice versa. I've noticed this on several of your tables. Not a big deal, but I'm curious

[loserman76]

Sorry, I'm not familiar with Hyperpin - only thing I can think of is that your VP user data folder is different when playing under Hyperpin vs. just the editor. on my PC it is c:\program files (x86)\visual pinball\user - all depends on where the program is installed.

 

Do a search for "BlueNote_79.txt" (no quotes) on your hard drive(s) and see if you have multiple copies. If you do, then for some reason it is using different folders for your user data.
