For this table, I am using my new method for enabling/disabling the dB2S backglass modified by Arngrim for DOF. 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 "LMEMDOFTables.txt"
2.Open this file in notepad and change the "0" to a "1" and save to use dB2S only, or "2" for dB2S with DOF
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" (dB2S only) or "2" (dB2S with DOF)  (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 the planet replay settings
"8" - change replay settings
On the full screen version, pay attention to the apron to tell whether it is set for 3 or 5 ball play and which replay settings you have selected.
This table includes new high score routines (from GNance) that allow the table to keep track of the top 5 scores. If you get a high score, flippers change the letters and start key (default "1") enters that letter.

Fantastic game!!!  Very difficult and just when I think the ball is coming back through the open gate - "Subscript out of range" error on line 1475.

Amazing work loserman and hauntfreaks. All your tables look and play great.

I got the same error as well.

Same issue here. It happens when the ball goes back in the plunger lane.

Hope there is an easy fixe, cause this table is quite to play.

uploaded 1.0a version with some code adjustments for the gate handling.

Thanks for adjusting the gate so quickly, Loserman. Looking forward to installing this.
