I want to try turning the Sopranos adult mode on, and a thread I ran into on here said to go into the "service menu" & it will be a "game feature" option that you will be able to switch between modes...Unless I'm blind I don't see anything like this at all. Just the standard options

When game is in attract mode press 7 on the keyboard to enter the service menu. Then go to adjustments->feature adjustments (icon that looks like a gun), You should find that adjustment for adult content as the first option.

Here you go...

 

Hit 7 key when table is loaded for play.
This will bring up the Service Menu for this machine.

Hit the 8 key twice to move it over to ADJ which is Adjustments Menu.
Then hit 7 key to enter Adjustment Menu.

Now hit 8 key once to move it to the Gun icon which is "Feature Adjustments"

Now hit 7 key.

You should now see the Adult Content Menu. (AS SEEN IN PIC)

Hit 8 key twice to move to Plus sign +
Hit 7 key twice and this will set Adult Content to Enabled YES.

Now hit 8 key twice so it now is over the QUIT icon.
Press 7 and your request will be installed, and should be ready to play after it initializes your changes.

Hope this helps.

Glad I checked out this thread. Didn't know about the adult mode. I'm on it!

And stevaside...you might also be nterested in the profanity rom for Terminator 2...pf-2 or something like that. It's on the rom downloads

I made some nvrams that have the profanity already initialized in the nvram. So you don't have to mess with the Service Menu.

Just copy the contents of the attachment at bottom of post in this link, to your nvram folder located where you installed Visual Pinball.

 

I made one for Terminator 2, and Demolition Man.

I also added other info you may need like link to roms and if you need to cchange anything in table script.

Cool I'll have to add them, I found the South Park one already & am using it

Neither did I at 1st when I first played the machine at a bowling alley out of town

 

Then I found out that a bar about 30 min from me had it & I was pretty shocked to fire it up & hear the "Gimme the freakin money!" changed to "Gimme the f*****g money!" & hitting the bumpers rapidly & hearing the F bomb dropped about 20 times in a row always had me crack up lol

 

I used to take the half hour drive all the way out there on occasion just to come in & play it, but sadly the bar closed down last year...glad VP exists at least & now having the profanity rom will replicate the experience better.

I learned how to manuever around the Service Menu from reading ta2686's tutorials.

 

Here you will find important info on adjusting sound levels through the service menu.

(Alot of tables are set to really low rom sound as default, so you will need to learn this sooner or later.)

Thanks again ta2686 for those tutorials!! And for all the work you have done for this community!!

Carry on.
