in addition to the "standard" keys (typically "1" to start game and "5" for coin), I've added "3" as another coin input and "4" for coin and auto-start game (like I recall the dime slots generally were) to simulate 3 coin slots
 
For the manual ball lift you can use either the start game button (typically "1") OR you can use the letter "A".
when game is not in progress, holding down left flipper for about 3-5 seconds will bring up the options menu. left flipper selects item, right flipper changes option.
I've also included shadows for the ball and flippers. If you want to turn them off look for these lines at the beginning of the script:
Const ShadowFlippersOn = true
Const ShadowBallOn = true
change to false if you want either of the shadows not showing on your tables

Some people might be unfamiliar needing to press the credit key to get the ball in the troth. It is that or pressing 'A' on keyboard. That letter is often not used in a cab so some might want to change line 597 to read "rightmagnasave" instead of "30".

Just an FYI in the options I have a setting for "auto lift" the ball. So there's another option for folks as well. only thing is you miss out on the fun of doing your own multi-ball madness on these tables when you set it to auto-launch the ball.

Uh. Sorry. That info just passed me by in the massive release you did yesterday.

I've just tested the automatic lifter. After every second game no ball is coming out. I have to quit the table and start again.

Nice table and very good playable.

[loserman76]

Not sure what is going on there - I played 4 games in a row with the auto-lift enabled and the balls were always being fed to the shooter lane.

I will test it tomorrow again. I made six games and have to start the table 3x.

I can't start a second game in Buckaroo after the first game either. Starting with "1" does not do anything. If I start to nudge (after the game when), balls seem to come from the table and fall in the drain but this also leads to an error. So for me it is only possible to play one game and then quit and start the table again.

[loserman76]

not seeing either of these issues. re-download the table and try again.

by any chance do you have a game controller connected?  That can affect the physics if the calibration is off.  so if you have any controllers, disconnect them and try again.

Also tested more than one Game: no Troubles here.

After the updates. I have no issues with any of Loserman' releases. I think Loafer is right. You need to have something attached that is preventing the balls from draining correctly.
