Here is Sexy girl from Arkon in Germany, this was a conversion kit for the bally playboy machine.
This table has come to life with the contributions of many.
Thanks go to Destruk and Mickey for the original table
                     ICPjuggla and gtxjoe for bits and pieces i used from there bally playboy table
                     Arngrim for the DOF and controller code
                    Steely,pinball Ken,Koadic,Jimmyfingers and Rascal for all the ball rolling and associated code
                    Cyberpez for the changeable instruction cards (Which can be changed near the top of the script) 
                    Seraph74 who provided the projector code mods to swap the images
                    Hauntfreaks did a shadow mask for the shadows and i also used his environment image as well
                    JP for his ball and scratches images 
If i have missed anyone let me know
There are settings in the F6 menu to link the top rollover switches to make it a bit easier to start the projector.
Another tip is to play a 4 player game and the projector keeps going for all 4 players so you can get further into the reel. 
Contains all 190 projector images that have been cleaned of all the dust and stuff that was on the reel when the pictures were taken. 
As this was a conversion for bally playboy it uses the same rom which is playboy.zip

Looks great. Thanks for sharing

Looks great. Unfortunately I get no dmd and a lot of micro-stutter.

I'll have to investigate.

Thanks for all your efforts though. They're appreciated.

Hi numiah. not sure if i know what you mean about no dmd as this table has the display on the backglass, if you are talking about the standard vpinmame display change the hidden =1 in the table script to 0. Not sure about the micro stutter, do other VPX tables play fine for you. Maybe try turning off 4xaa in the table if you have it enabled. I had a bit of stutter in my initial wip table with 4xaa enabled but in the final release the projector code was changed and the pinmame timer set to 10 as it was at 1 and it pretty much doubled the frame rate and i could run 4xaa fine with no stutter.

I am only learning and don't know much about optimising the frame rate as yet, its possible that i need to tweak it some more. Anyone else having stutter issues?

Late here, played again today - no Stutters over VPX directly - but Stutter over PinballX ... strange.

I've just tested it here: No stutter with PinballX v2.6.2.

Do you have also stutter with the christmas-table, which is based on Sexy Girl?

If you get stutter, it may be caused by huge images. You can try to resize some of the huge images that are in the image manager.

The "Bumper" image is 4000x4000.

"Clear Plastics" image is 4096X4096.

"Sexy Girl Playfield" image is 2856x5922

 

I would try resizing Bumper image first and see if that helps take the stutter away.

Hope this helps.
