Manufacturer: Taito
Year: 1978
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

Based on the Taito table from 1978.      
Thanks to:
- Carlos Guizzo for the source images.  
- Tio Italo for the images of his FP table
- Akiles5000 for the redrawing of the playfield and backdrops
- and to allknowing2012 for letting me use the images from his Mata Hari table.
 
This is the complete table including the magnets, which can be activated with the MagnaSave buttons. The magnets are located where the flipper drawings are, under the droptargets. And those magnets send the ball to the droptargets.
 
A similar table from Taito is Vegas, which came later same year, and it has the option to change the LADY lights using the MagnaSave buttons.

jp, guizzo, italo,allknowing and akiles, thanks again for your good work.

vegas and lady luck its a nice pair.

I would like to have in this table the option of three balls per game,   is there any editable line in the script to get it?

[jpsalas]

There is no posibility to adjust the number of balls in the script, this is a vpinmame table and the ROM is the one who decides the number of balls. In this table it should be done with dip swicthes, you know, pressing F6. But I don't know much about those dip switches Anyway all the tables at that time were 5 balls I think all the Taito tables are set by default to 5 balls.

Well, if there is no option of three balls, I will enjoy it equally with five balls, thanks

@humanoide - If you have another Taito game that is set to 3 ball play - for eg Hawkman,

copy it's NVRAM and rename it to the rom name of Lady Luck...

so it is ladylukt.nvram and you will have 3 ball play

All the Taito (Seem) to use the same Dip settings, so the NVRAM is interchangeable

--- well I have yet to find a problem doing it this way !! --

I like Taito tables have 5 balls, but having "vegas" and "Lady Luck", I prefer one to have 5 balls and another 3 balls

I'm trying to fix a rom problem. I'm getting a bad checksum error on the last 2 files in the zip (sound files s1,s2). Of course the zip is unblocked, where it's supposed to be. I did not have a Lady Luck nvram, so I copied a Hawman one, and renamed it to ladylukt.nv.

 

I've tried the rom from here and PN. Both seem to have all the necessary files, so I'm at a loss. Oh, and where is the bg for this one?

JP I just checked & the LUTS don't seem to be working on your newest 5.5 version.

Thanks! I'll check it out.

Now I remember the table

 

Since the Magnasave buttons are heavily in use in this table, then to activate the changing of the LUT you use the LockBarKey, which by default is the HOME key.
