A fine collaboration on this original from JP & dea TEE. I just played a few rounds. It's got a few modes, multiball and even some tricks to keep you on your toes. The instructions on the apron are legible, clear and concise -- bonus points for that.

 

My first random award from the Cobra Vault was an "ET Cartridge". That's a fun 40-year-old reference from the Atari 2600 era.

Thanks for a new original table.

I am curious about what awaits me.

The table inspires me to make a B2s

Is it me or does it feel like the ball speeds up incredibly quick once it goes behind the slingshots? Even if it comes from the ramps, as soon as it drops on the playfield behind the slingshot, it accelerates towards the flippers.

It doesn't do that, but if you have any analog controller connected to your computer then try first removing it. If the table works fine, then you know you need to calibrate it. Use the "Dead Zone" parameter in the "Keys, Nudge and DOF" config page.

One thing that you'll notice is that the ramps do not have anything to stop the ball, so the ball falls down at full speed And this is by design If is this what you mean, then yes, the ball falls from the ramp at full speed

I just assumed that this is one of the "tricks" that you mentioned. I quickly learned to hold up the same-side flipper before the ball drops out of the ramp. The ball clearly moves faster below the ramp than while in the ramp.

I have no clue about why this error comes up. Line 1911 is about setuping of FlexDMD. Just check the you have FlexDMD updated and it is working (registered).
