Nicely done upscale Bigus1 and I like the lighting much better. You didn't quite finish however. You need to make the sleeping with the fishes kickout (sw17) with a visible cup and metal material. See what it should look like attached here. Thanks for updating!

Nice Update.

[Pinballman]

Much improved, but are the lower 4 RIP lights working?  They're not on during attract mode and don't seem to be working during game play either.

 

EDIT Just tried running table with 10.74 and the lights now work, so I guess it's a 10.8 issue as I'm running 10.8 1408.

This table has a lot of voices and music, but isn't the ROM sound used?

Is there a problem with mame emulation?

I remember that Elvis didn't use ROM sounds before.

[bigus1]

If you're using 10.7 then try another rom, because it's all hunky-dory with 7. If you're using 10.8 then consider yourself to be a beta tester

Also, the kicker has the correct appearance of the real machine.

thx for your quick answer.

if i want post screen, what's the good way ?

The issue appears after i play table many time, not in the beginning. any idea ?

The reason why Elvis or LOTR used samples before, is because the cpu's at that time couldn't handle the vpinmame emulation of those tables, and the sounds just repeat themselves and stutter. Todays cpu's can handle the emulation quite well, so there is no need to use samples anymore.

Hey there,

I'm brand new at virtual pinball as of today, got it all setup but have no music or voices on this mod, assuming it's because, as you state, i'm on 10.8?

Hi there, I'm having an issue where the backboard screen appears for a brief second when I start playing, then disappears. Is there some kind of toggle I have to enable or is this a bug with the current version?

[bigus1]

Try updating to the latest Backglass server as it seems to fix some problems with Stern tables under 10.8.

 

I've made the leap to 10.8/3.6 and while 10.8 seems fine, VPM3.6 has created problems with many of my Stern tables and this is one of them. VPM3.5 works fine.

Thank you! Seems to be working just fine after restarting my PC, surprisingly.
