File Name: Columbia (LTD do Brasil 1983)

File Submitter: mfuegemann

File Submitted: 29 Dec 2019

File Category: VPX/VPinMAME Recreations

Author(s): mfuegemann
Manufacturer: Other - Pinball
Year: 1983
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

This is Columbia by LTD do Brasil.
 
Again resources have been hard to find. Thanks go to CARLOSGUIZZO and João Pedras for providing lots of images.
Columbia is a clone of Stern's Flight2000, so thanks go to Bord for permission to use his Flight 2000 table and resources as a starting point to retouch the playfield with the Columbia images.

With the manual pages, CARLOSGUIZZO provided, Gatson was able to make some changes to the LTD System 4 code in VPinMAME version 3.3. With the prior versions we have frequent Tilts during normal gameplay.
I added a warning if the VPinMAME version is too low.
 
At the top of the script You have the option to adjust the sound volume and GI brightness, set FreePlay and add a center post between the Flippers.
With this table I experienced noticable Flipper lag for the first time. The normal FastFlip is not working, as there is no GameOn solenoid, nor TILT Lamp or any other indicator. So I scripted a local FastFlip Routine that can be switched On/Off at the top of the script too.
Have fun

Parfait merci beaucoup
fonctionne très bien

M

Mais j'ai toujours le message qui demande vpinmame 3.3 au lancement 

[Greynurse]

Thanks for all three tables Michael. Really good work and great to play. When I load a table, though, I get a large blank virtual DMD. I can close the window or hide it behind the backglass, but is there a way to disable it? I'm using a two monitor desktop for now. So the Virtual DMD is a bit unnecessary.

 

Cheers,

… you have to search a Line with "hidden" in Script and uncoment the complete Line … i am away from Cab, so this should be like this:

       'Controller.hidden = 1

 

Just delete the '

Thanks, man. Looks awesome!

Here are my two wheels for this table.
mega.nz/#F!IFsxBbCD!04cfuNEJi5hwuYxL6CvQIg
Or download them directly from the PinUp Popper mediadatabase.

The wheels are reduced in quality, because of the very small uploadsize here.

The backglass hasn't a good quality. Maybe some day we find a better one.

I'm not satisfied with the wheel.

Hi Joey,

Of course this is up to Michael, who already told me he is quite busy. However there are no resources avaliable for this table yet.

 

Do you know someone who owns the real table? If so, can you please provide some hi-res pics of it?

 

This is how new projects start...

 

Greetings

[bpjacobsen]

Hi! Spend hours playing this great recreation that brings me great childhood memories (also flight 2000). Is there any possibility to upgrade this table with 4k images? Thanks in advance

[Thalamus]

And, how do you want those table images to magically become 4k ? AI upscale ? I can tell you, in most cases they look worse. Since you're from the correct country at least, make it your task to get high resolution images correctly scaled and from stripped playfields. I'm sure an upgrade will come. Until then, be happy they even exists is my suggestion.

[wiesshund]

I agree, the upscaling in many cases does not look better, many times it seems to just amplify flaws and such.

 

My suggestion is, to get very good at doing graphics, and then redraw the playfield art, in vector, by hand

and i am not good at my own suggestion so....

 

These LTD tables are done from terrible to non existent source material to begin with

Also, you can not assume the artist has a 4k screen.
While lack of a 4k screen does not mean you can not make 4k art, it does mean that you can not exactly see what you are doing
