I love when I see a new Zaccaria table and the more I played this one the more fun it became.  Great job!  You've really become good at table building and I can't wait for finished versions of your other tables.  I did notice that this table gives me the micro stutter ball scoots until I disable the playfield reflections and then the ball moves more fluidly.  Just thought I would throw that out there in case anyone else has the same problem.  That has nothing to do with the table as the table is awesome.  Thanks again!

Excellent quality looking table Thanks. Don't know if you play with a cabinet or not but i can't get the slings to fire the solenoids with DOF. I tried an older vp9  version and they work fine but not really knowing that much about scripting i can't spot what i need to do to get them to fire. I have looked at a few other vpx tables and tried a few things but i have not found the solution, I presume it is related to this version as the older version works. Do you have an idea what i need to do to get them working. Thanks again for a great looking table.

It looks great!  (It is VP10 arngrim!).  Does anyone know how to adjust the volume on these ROMs though?  I can barely hear it...

hi there, love this, great job :) as i own a real Magic Castle, here is just one thought based on gameplay of the virtual v real machine.

 

On the plunge of the ball on vpx version, there is no delay when the ball drops from the wire plunge rails to the playfield, it scoots out too fast. This is quite essential to gameplay on the top flipper, as on the real machine the ball slows down when it exits the plunge wire guides, enabling you to have at least a few (sometimes many) good, accurate uses of the top flipper at the target bank.

You did a great job with the react flipper too. Though on the real machine it is way harder (frustrating) to time the react flipper.

Thank you, Zaccaria's are often poor cousins to the Bally and Wiliams set, but I love them :)

ha ha, thanks! The Magic Castle is a great game, I'm a sucker for a drop target pin... never ever saw one here in Australia, back in the day.

I blame all the really excellent Visual Pinball authors for ressurecting my youthful passion so accurately, I just had to have the real thing again. (I bought a Pin*Bot before the Magic Castle...would love to find another System 11 game....)

Love the table but I'll need to remove it since I can't get any backglass to appear and the score on the DMD is a mess so I need a backglass. I've tried the 2 I can find and neither work.

Works fine for me
The score does not belong on a DMD, wrong format for a DMD screen

I'm pretty sure 32assassin quit: https://www.vpforums...466#entry473500

 

Hopefully, he'll be back someday - his tables were/are great. But, sometimes you just need to take a break from things.
