A small note about this table:

 

I know the original table had a manual ball feed, but since a few people I know have cabinets with just flipper buttons (no magna save or other extra buttons), so I decided to make automatically the ball feed to the plunger. But to keep the original posibility to add multiballs, then you may simply press "1" again to add balls.  Then you may play as the original table from 1959.

 

Tips: to get high scores lit the bumpers and the slingshots, then add a multiball or two to get the score as high as possible

@Pmax65 
By the way, the backglass geometry is wrong on my cabinet (it has a 16/9 monitor) and make the rotating animation oblong and for that unrealistic.
I know that this could be a silly question, but does anybody know a way to narrow the b2s backglass area for this pinball?

 

You are right, i try to make also another Version ... 

But i have to "cheat" with Side Images, because real Image is more or less "3:4" - so far away from 16:9 ... https://www.ipdb.org...165&picno=35675

I guess these kind of tables should use its own ScreenRes.txt, that would show the db2s with black bars on its sides, to keep the backglass as close to the original table.

[STAT]

... dint know, that this is possible, but - should be ok

[Seraph74]

As JP was saying these older 4:3 backglasses should have their own settings so that they display the correct aspect ratio (black bars on side)

Hey JpSalus I was wondering if you could remake some of the Zaccari pinball tables in vpx. I could send some art if you need it.
