Yes! It will soon be released by Editoy.

I have the BG extracted and improved (it was twisted) from the FP verson of this game, too big to post it here. If you send me your email adresse via pm, I would be happy to make it available.

Thanks Mustang, i also got the Image like this Way, but Carlos made it and editoy is working on BG.
I think we can wait some Hours.

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks guys!

A table by jpsalas means quality in every department.

 

I'm looking forward to the backglass.

 

Regarding the art: In the background a white woman bounded, and an indian, roguish looking and in thumps-up pose... Just imagine if such a motif would be released today, in the times of the so-called political correctness. The wailing and gnashing of teeth of the do-gooders would be unbearable!

i'm uploading BG + MP on vpf.... NOW!

UPDATE

 

1.0.1 Updated 15.11.2018
- fixed error giving too many extra credits.
- added missing red light on the apron

[knightrdrx]

My score would not stop adding after the first ball. I quit or I would have hit all 9's

[Mustang1961]

Thank you for the update JP!

 

remarks after the first trial

 

- I was over an invisible highscore and after game over 1 credit was awarded. But then all 4 displays are permanently counting with the respective sounds (switching between result of the ended game and the highscore indication. This behaviour remains when leaving and restart the table with the earned highscore. I think this a result of the hybrid character of this game, the table is written as EM, the BG is with LEDs.

 

Is there a way out?

I'll need to test it more to see if I can reproduce it (?!), but it looks like this is how I wrote it (during game over the highscore is shown and the last score, that's how those tables saved the hisghcore, no typing initials). But if there was a problem with the highscore you can always reset the highscore by running the table, open the debug window (press "d", click on >Editor) and type reseths and press enter.

Merci JPS pour la solution

[Greynurse]

I had the same trouble as Mustang1961. The only way I found to stop the backglass reels "hunting" for the highscore was to comment out lines 1187 - 1190. A quick and dirty fix, sure, but I keep my sanity.

UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 29.8.2022

- Updated to my VPX7 physics

- cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table

- Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darker the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL). Including GI brightness adjustment. Use the LUT changer together with the day/night slider to give the table the level of darkness you prefer.

- Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound, as people seem to like those kind of sounds better. 

- Changed the Environment image to enhance a little the object shadows.

- Made the light inserts warmer, mostly the white lights.

 

I'm going to upload all the other 34 tables now, but I won't write an update post on all the other tables so I do not fill the thread list with just update posts

This update is mostly to enhance a little the physics of the tables with a little more normal flippers values. Even if I changed the environment image the tables look almost the same as in version 3, as the extra shadow this image give is very subtle.

You may as well, it's just going to bump the threads anyways
at least if you post to them, they dont look like ghost bumps

[jpsalas]

Now I have uploaded all 35 Taito tables, updated with my latest VPX7 physics

 

Clicking now on my signature you may see all my recent updates, you just need to sort the list by "Last Updated"

Awesome JP

[digitalarts]

Hi,

there is a dof config existing in dof config tool for this EM -"rom" apache_1978

is this for another version of the table? because this table v.4 has no dof triggers beside lights for coin,exit and flipper...
