A mod of dboyrecords Circus (Gottlieb 1980) FS version.
I first want to thank dboyrecords for allowing mods without permission.
I also want to thank him and anyone else who helped make this table come to life. Including LuvThatApex, Bodydump , STAT, Kiwi, and Destruk.
BIG THANKS SIRS!!!
7 Digit Rom can be found here..http://www.vpforums....ds&showfile=990
Check the original table for more info. I'm sure alot of time and effort went into making this table, and it is deeply appreciated, so all credit should be directed there way.

I resized and made playfield fill screen.
I dowloaded the Plastic pics from IPDB and made cut out's and used these as decals to help fit the plastics better. There were some plastics I didn't change. (Sometimes when your plastics are all on 1 pic, it can be hard to line them up with playfield. Using cutout decals helped me to solve this problem but some I could not make it fit. Namely the 3 dividers behind targets and the plastic above spinner, and the 2 plastics on each side of lane that leads back to plunger.) I left all the plastic cutouts in editor in case someone wants to try and use them.
I changed the color of the rollover dividers to same as blue lights on playfield, and I lined them up and made them all the same size.
I added pic to back side of spinner from IPDB. Its a loop of fire and I guess is supposed to look like the lion is jumping through the fire when it spins fast.
I added wall above spinner to deflect ball to left instead of going straight through and out to rollovers at top.
I changed drop targets to red and yellow like IPDB pics. I kept the white clown face, but just colored around him.
I then switched dboyrecords flash pic with Sindbads Flash pic, so now the lights look like rays of lights. Thanks Sindbad!!
I moved flippers to where the flipper holes were, and adjusted plastics accordingly.
Moved bumpers.
Moved left kicker.
Adjusted apron.
Adjusted Scorecards on apron.
I tried to add elasticity to the top rollover dividers, but I really can't see a difference. So the physics are the same as dboyrecords original.
 
EDIT: Fixed left flipper and Gate2 wall, and uploaded versiion with Joey2001's table settings. I had to move the plastic decals to accomadate his settings.
 
I also made a db2s Backglass with working lights.

Much better artwork. Thanks.

I change the position of the wall at Gate2, because the ball always stops there.

And I change the position of the flippers; the ball jumps if he rolls over the left one.

Thanks all, maybe we can get a Joey-fixed Download ?

Which wall is it getting stuck on? Gate 2 is the gate that opens from plunger pull. I played the hell out of this table, trying to get the extra ball to light up so I could find the "Shoot Again" ROM ID for the dB2S backglass. I was never successful, but the ball never got stuck anywhere for me. Can you show me a pic, or maybe explain exactly which wall needs modified?

I thought I had fixed the left flipper, but I guess I didn't save it. I was up all night trying to finish it and the backglass. I must have forgot.

Let me know and I will update this as soon as possible. (The left flipper is fixed but I will wait to upload new version until I know more about your stuck ball problem. No sense in updating twice, as there is a waiting time for approval even with updates.)

 

Thanks for the info Sir!!

 

Have a great day!!

I think I fixed the flipper in the DT version and forgot the FS. (I am going to check the DT version after writing this.)

 

EDIT: Just checked and the flipper was fixed on DT versions!! I knew I wasn't that tired!!

 

I have uploaded new FS version with flipper and gate2 wall fix. Version 1.1a

 

I have also uploaded a version with the same fixes and with Joey2001's table settings.(Big thanks Sir!!) Version 1.1b

 

I had to move all the Plastic decals to accomodate his settings.

 

Hope you enjoy!!

I just uploaded new 7 digit DT and FS ROM versions. I also made 7 Digit  dB2S backglasses to go with the 7 Digit ROM Tables.
