MOD done without approval.
 
In trying to make the game as close to the actual table, sound were changed,  and some additional added for the Williams feel.
Play field was Paintshop'd to remove "lighting" that was part of the play field image. Other misc items shopped for a more natural look.
 
If you use a single monitor for desktop play you will want to change the backdrop back to _grandprix.  Otherwise enjoy playing the game in my arcade. 
 
Please know that I'm just learning about how these tables are made and scripted and I learn from others work. I really love this table and similar Williams EM's from the 70's and tried my best to make it like the original table in my modifications.  All credit for this table belongs to allknowing2012 and previous authors of this table.  My apologies if I've broken site rules in any way with the posting of this mod. Thanks, -HSM.

Well are you playing in desktop mode then it will (should) show - if you are in full screen then you need to download the directb2s backglass and run that on the 2nd screen. Let us know what your setup is...

Thank you for your response. I think I'm in desktop mode - the score displays are showing but there are no numbers in them. Guess I need to download the directb2 backglass from somewhere?
