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 "LMEMDOFTables.txt"
2.Open this file in notepad and change the "0" to a "1" if you want B2S and the sounds I included in the table script or "2" if you want B2S and the DOF sounds 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 LMEMDOFTables.txt and put a "1" or a "2" (no quotes) on the first line and save it.

Awesome! Just got back back from Pacific Pinball Museum in Oakland, Ca. Saw this game and wondered if we have it here in vp. Pleasant surprise tonight! Thanks Loserman and fellow contributors.

Great table. For some reason my LEDwiz isn't working on this latest round of LM greats, including Old Chicago, Spin Out, and Target Alpha. Strange.

[allknowing2012]

Ben .. do you have to pull a new config down from the tool?

[Ben Logan]

I'll try that. Up until now all LM's tables have worked with my current config. Thanks for the advice (And your awesome tables) allknowing. I'm confused though, because all my other tables (over 100) still work with LEDWiz. Just these new ones aren't responding.

the b2sname have changed since the old version of the tables so yes

 

but if you put the ledcontrolpull vbs at the start of pinballx or windows, you don't need to care about grabbing the latest one, it does it for you

 

info is at the start page of the configtool

[Outhere]

I read the info on the start page of the configtool

Is there more info on how to do this or am I missing something?

Arngrim - LEDWiz and DOF add so much fun to the VP experience. Thank you! I always appreciate hearing from you.

[arngrim]

glad you all like it as much as i am
 
with that info from the start page it should be enough?
 
Download this available at the same page
 
DOF Configs Ini Pull Program (v3.0)
 
Added the DOF Config ini pull program made by Zarquon, that you can execute at the start of your Windows session of your cab, or your frontend.
If your cab is connected to the internet,you can use the program and you won't need to generate files from the configtool site, it will be automatic
The parameters you will need to adjust for your environment are :

• 
  
• SET LCP_APIKEY = Your_API_KeY that you can find on my account tab
• SET LCP_VPTABLEPATH = the windows path in your cab where you store your ini files

if something is not clear enough, let me know so i can adjust the page

Fantastic job, tables and BG look amazing!  Thanks to all involved.

 

One little thing I notice and was wondering if anyone else had the same thing.  When you first coin up the table and start it while it's resetting the score and dropping the ball into place. Part of the sounds have a strange echoing effect. Like they were recorded in a big empty room or coming from down a long hallway. Nothing else in the game has this problem it's just towards the end of the tables mechanical startup phase.
