File Name: LTD Alien Warrior (1983)

File Submitter: wiesshund

File Submitted: 03 Jul 2021

File Category: VPX/VPinMAME Recreations

Author(s): Original Playfield and Plastics art: Siggi
I only modified slightly

B2S image initially from: Chucky87
I used his alien and his Logo

Other small Trival art: Wiesshund
Replacement audio: Wiesshund

ROM Patching: Gaston

Table information and reference materials: CARLOS GUIZZO

Fast Flips function stolen from: Mfuegemann
Manufacturer: Other - Pinball
Year: 1983
ROM: Link to ROM
Media Pack: Link to Media Pack
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval


REQUIRED VPX 10.8 rev 1445 or better
 
LTD do Brazil's 1983 Alien Warrior
 
In the zip, there is the table file, 2 back glasses and 1 ROM
 
Please read the blow CAREFULLY
 
1) The ROM is BROKEN
I repeat, the ROM is BROKEN!
 
Will it run in PinMAME?
Yes
 
Does it run right?
No, but to the best of my ability to test, it runs correctly logic wise
The audio though is broken and so the table disables ROM audio entirely
The ROM has been patched together using pieces of other LTD ROMs
 
IF YOU GIVE THIS ROM TO SOMEONE WHO OWNS AN ALIEN WARRIOR TABLE
YOU WILL PROBABLY FOREVER DESTROY THEIR PIBALL MACHINE
IF YOU HAVE SUCH A MACHINE AND TRY TO USE THIS ROM TO REPAIR YOUR EEPROM DONT!!!
YOU WILL PROBABLY FOREVER BREAK YOUR MACHINE

YOU CANT BREAK PINMAME, YOU CAN BREAK A REAL PINBALL CONTROLLER

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

 
2) There are 2 backglasses, use which ever one you want, or use them as a template to create a better one
One of the backglasses contains ALL of the ROM backglass lamp ID's in their correct positions.
The other is a simplified version that just uses animation snippets tied to the 1st ring of lamps
 
3) Can you mod this?
Yes, but at least upload a copy here to vpforums
But
You may never deny Anyone Ever, to make a mod of your mod.
My permission trumps yours and it is perpetual.
If you do not like that, then dont mod it, that simple.
 
*********************************************************************
 
Table Info
For those who can not read Portuguese, press R to see table rules
If you read Portuguese, the apron is highly readable.
 
Backglass audio can be turned Up and Down by pressing the Right and Left magnasave keys
Your setting is saved on table exit
 
Lockbar fire key will cycle through 20 levels of table brightness
this is also saved on exit.
 
You can not adjust the ROM settings, it is locked at standard play and 5 balls
this is an unfortunate side affect of patching a corrupted ROM.
You could try swapping in an nvram from another LTD system IV table, it may work, i have not tried.
 
You will want to disable CRC checking for this ROM in pinmame, or it will nag you every time you launch it and you will have to click Play anyway.
 
The Table has backglass audio, provided by the table itself.
It is not authentic, but fits the theme and time period, aside from being 44Hz sample rate.
(No, it does not play the LTD Happy Birthday knocker)

I would fix the typo, but that would take the table offline for 12 to 24 hours, so i guess just read the Blow.

 

I have no idea why the download page does not contain full info

Great job on the table and sewing the rom together. Really is cool to see tables get brought back to life. Too bad about LTD Happy Birthday getting the chop :P

No way to trigger it.

It is LTD's version of a knocker

When you win an extra game or ball or something, it plays it, but as no lamp or solenoid is associated with it, it happens solely in binary land, with no external clue that it is happening

So no way to record it from another LTD ROM and then script the table to play it.

 

I suppose i could invent something, but it would not really be right and play at the wrong times
which is probably worse than it not playing at all i guess.

 

If i remember right, the ROM was not playing it at all, that part might be broken.

You can turn down the backglass sound volume, and re-enable the ROM audio in the script and play it a while just to see if it happens to play it.
It might get very annoying though with the ROM just spitting out random nonsense sounds and broken music clips.

Wont hurt pinmame any, but it will make you question exactly what the hell are you playing.

All of alien warriors audio is unfortunately lost until such time as someone who owns an alien warrior controller that is intact can try a redump.

Thanks for this very rare (and alien :)) table

 

The artwork is very nice and the lighting too !

 

For desktop users, if you want to show the DMD, open the script and be sure to read the following:

 

Line 172   ShowDMDOnly = 1

 

Line 173   ShowFrame = 0

 

Line 175   Hidden = 0

 

For the Siderails, Ramp012 / Ramp013 on layer "Cabinet", I changed Material to "Plastic with an image" to make them more visible

 

Wiesshund, like you I rename layers according to elements inside, then, it's easier to find them :tup:

I have one question, I have never seen this before. When I open the table in the editor all I see is a picture of the playfield & nothing else, I would like to make a few changes to the rails etc. Thanks

Show the layers (siderails are on layer "Cabinet" ;)), if you use VP10.7

Thank you for your implementation of the LTD Alien Warrior table.

Today finally had time to set up the table on my desktop, adjust it and ... play.

Here is the result:
