Original Table: JP Salas
Manufacturer: Original
Year: 2022


Hola. Este es mi primer B2S.
También es la primera vez que uso la información tomada directamente de una ROM para activar luces.
 
Agradeco y felicito a JP Salas por hacer una mesa tan entretenida, y la actualización a sus físicas v4 le da un plus de jugabilidad y diversión. ¡Me encanta! ¡Gracias JP! :)
 
He probado el funcionamiento con varias ROMs (en especial con la original y la versión en idioma español) y funciona bien con todas ellas, ya que el único cambio perceptible es el cambio de idioma en los mensajes del DMD, el funcionamiento de luces en la mesa es prácticamente idéntico.
 
El B2S refleja exactamente la posición de las luces activadas en la mesa en el tablero de juego del Monopoly, además de las casillas especiales donde se toman las tarjetas "Chance" y "Chest".
 
Al estar basado en la ROM de Monopoly, es posible hacer funcionar este B2S con otras mesas que usen la mismas ROMs (haciendo coincidir el nombre en ambos archivos B2S y VPX).
 
Espero que lo disfruten.

Hello. This is my first B2S.
It's also the first time I've used information taken directly from a ROM to activate lights.
 
I thank and congratulate JP Salas for making such an entertaining table, and the update to its v4 physics gives it extra playability and fun. I'm lovin 'it! Thanks JP! :)
 
I have tested the operation with several ROMs (especially with the original and the Spanish language version) and it works well with all of them, since the only perceptible change is the change of language in the DMD messages, the operation of lights in the table is practically identical.
 
The B2S accurately mirrors the position of the activated lights on the table on the Monopoly game board, plus the special pockets where the "Chance" and "Chest" cards are drawn.
 
Being based on the Monopoly ROM, it is possible to make this B2S work with other tables that use the same ROMs (by matching the name in both B2S and VPX files).
 
I hope you enjoy.
 
 
Epe C.

Hello wiesshund.
 
On my PC it works in 2 screens mode. Let me explain, the main monitor (Sc1) is from the playfield, and the secondary monitor (Sc2) is the B2S. On windows I have it set to "Extend these displays".
 
Note: in the screenshot it seems to be all together on a single monitor, but the truth is that they are different windows.
 
To use a third monitor (Sc3) I assume you'll set it up the same way, by manually moving the DMD's floating window from the table to that monitor. I suppose that in the same way that the DMD window is moved to move it on over the B2S.
 
Putting a DMD grid in the design may seem feasible, (although I think it's an optical effect from the screenshot that joins everything in one and leaves a hole under the PF), but the truth is that I prefer full screen and use the native resolution of the second monitor (1280x1024) to visually occupy the entire B2S.
 
If someone wants to modify the design to suit their taste, they are free to do so by editing the file.
 
Now that I know the technique (more or less) of reading ROM data to activate lights in the B2S, I still need to learn how to reflect those same PF lights from original tables (like NEMO) to light things in the BG. I keep learning step by step.
 
Greetings.

Hola wiesshund.
 
En mi PC funciona en modo 2 screens. Me explico, El monitor pincipal (Sc1) es del playfield, y el monitor secundario (Sc2) es el B2S. En windows lo tengo configurado como "Extender estas pantallas". 
 
Nota: en la captura de pantalla parece estar todo junto todo en un único monitor, pero lo cierto es que son distintas ventanas.
 
Para usar un tercer monitor (Sc3) supongo que se onfigurará de la misma forma, moviendo manualmente la ventana flotante del DMD desde la mesa a ese monitor. Supongo que de la misma forma que se mueve la ventana del DMD para moverlo sobre el B2S.
 
Poner una parrilla de DMD en el diseño puede parecer factible, (aunque creo que es un efecto óptico por la captura de pantalla que une todo en uno y deja un hueco debajo del PF), pero lo cierto es que lo prefiero a pantalla completa y usar la resolución nativa del segundo monitor (1280x1024) para ocupar visualmente todo el B2S.
 
Si alguien quiere modificar el diseño para adaptarlo a su gusto es libre de hacerlo editando el archivo.
 
Ahora que ya conozco la técnica (más o menos) de leer los datos de ROMs para activar luces en el B2S, me falta aprender como reflejar esas mismas luces de PF de mesas originales (como NEMO) para encender cosas en el BG. Sigo aprendiendo paso a paso. 
 
Saludos.
 
EpeC.

Hello wiesshund.
 
On my PC it works in 2 screens mode. Let me explain

 

 

It's a 3 screen only backglass
No grill and DMD area

 

no place to put the DMD
