Place the complete music file folder in music, including the folder itself. Do not just move the mp3 files!
Both Table and Backglass neded to be modified. Must update both to work properly!
 
Jacks Open is by far, my favorite EM table. I got to playing around with it, adding face cards to playfield and drop targets, and thought it would be fun to mod with Japanese/Korean/Hawaiian Hanafuda cards.  The deck is especially well suited to pinball as most games involve collecting sets- Animals, ribbons, etc, but I have never seen a table built around anything but western cards. Add a little music, and you have my very tranquil little table!
 
I'm quite new to scripting, and hacked and slashed my way through this one, so I understand if the original authors would prefer to disassociate themselves from this!  Still, I learned a lot and made some rule changes along the way to make it more suited to a modern, cashless machine.  All specials except match and high scores are extra balls. The scoring is a little inflated due to increased hand value and stronger bumpers, so I increased the special requirements.  Also after completing all hands, you now start over. Enjoy!
