Without the help from Carlos and Tio we wouldn't have these tables looking as good as they do. So thank you once again guys. I need to ask. Not the first time I see people joke about Shark. Is there some kind of history around this or another table with the same name that I don't know about maybe ?

 

Once again you've released a table in the middle of the night in my time-zone. Are you in another JP ? Not complaining. Just a little bit curious

 

Will have to wait to try this one out until I'm back from work, but, in advance I want to thank you JP for all your hard work. New great tables just keeps pouring into my cab and that makes me a happy camper. It is really fun seeing these "copies" from the Brazilian company. Yes, the rom emulation is a bit weird. You kind of have to commit to play finish the round(s) once started in order to not get a weird start the next round. Not a big problem though, since I love any pinball game.

The emulation of the Taito tables is a little different than other tables, and if you quit the table in the middle of a game, next time you restart the table it will continue that game. And if you had some locked balls it may be possible that you wont get a new ball, to fix that you need to delete the nvram file, sharkt.nv, from the NVRAM folder. I haven't found any other solution.

 

Yes I have seen the described effect playing "Gork". But when you play all games until "Gama Over"- state the gameplay behaviour seems to be normal. Let see what happens with this multi- ball game. Deleting the nvram can be part of the batch file I call when leaving the emulator in order to de-rotate the table-monitor. Or is it possible to add such routine to the emulator itself?

I'm not sure how many tables I'll make Maybe all that have nice resources? I'll make Lunelle next, but after that I have a few Gottliebs I want to do Well, at least one, HH

Yes, I  live in the same time zone as you, but I only sleep a few hours

Deleting the nvram should be done if the table won't start. But as Thalamus said, if you play until game over then it is ok with these Taito tables, otherwise the emulation tried to continue were you left.

nice table

 

bug :

[STAT]

Deleting .nvram File will also deleting YOUR Hiscore - i prefer, to Play always to "Game Over" ( on ALL Taito Tables )

 

JP, i don't know, is this possible: at Table1_Exit, Balls left -> to Drain, and "simulate" a Game Over ?

nice table

 

bug :

 

I don't know what is this. I understand that it comes from the graphic card, since it is a direct 3d error, but I don't know why. What kind of graphics card do you have? If it is an intel then you may need to check the "Alternative Depth Buffer processing", but then you should get errors on other tables too.

Everything is possible to emulate . And It should be possible to add one extra drain, but it is not sure that will be enough for the rom, since sometimes you'll need 2, 3 or more drains before game over.

Thank you JP.

   Hmm--the table will load for me. I hear coins going in, but the table does not launch. Any ideas on why this is happening?

 

EDit--was using the wrong rom--needs sharkt

Thank You for these excellent tables.  Hopefully Titan is in the works as the artwork looks great for it.

[kalavera]

Excellent taito do Brazil tables, I love them, thank you for recreating them with as much luxury, as always beautiful.

[shannon1]

I love the graphics on this table. I think it could look even cooler with a lighting mod by Vogliadicane similar to the one he did on Fathom. Great table and thanks for all of your hard work JP!

That's why my tables are "free to mod"
