First, I want to thank Dozer - MJR and everyone involved in the previous versions! Thank you for your hard work, and it's been very well done!
 
 
I made some updates at Halen's request, who created a new playfield and new plastics. Thank you for the excellent work!
 
 
The following were made:
Playfield color adjustments and new inserts
New GI lighting
Inclusion of holes for triggers
Shadows
Some adjustments to metals, flippers, and targets

The animations for Desktop mode and the physics, which work very well, created by Dozer and previous authors, were maintained.

This is the oldest Table I have in my cabinet. While a bit before my time, I got it because that was the name of the arcades in the malls that I played-in as a kid. So I found-out where the cool-name came from.

 

I'll have to get this new (upgraded) version and give it a play. I'll likely just use this previous BackGlass from the library here (as it's nice).

 

From Goggle's AI Summary:

Bally Manufacturing originally owned Aladdin's Castle arcades, purchasing the chain in 1974. Bally sold the chain to Namco in 1993, a Japanese video game company that was later acquired by the Bandai Namco Group.

I try to figure out how to show the menu option without success.

 

How to change free play for coins play and 3 balls to 5 balls?

 

Thanks teisen for the update.

Press 2 key, then use right magna-save key to select option, and use left magna-save key to go to next option.

Thanks for the info Xenonph !

I hear a sound when hitting the magna-save key so I don't see the menu options on screen and I don't know what settings I change.

That's a difference between the old, ugly, dark playfield and this one!

Did you move the images offscreen in your backdrop settings, because it's working for me.

Yes Sorry for this mistake !

 

I alway remove the backdrop image for my cabinet and unconsciously I removed the menu 

 

Now the table work as expected !

 

Thanks !

The bumpers shouldn't set to uncollidable in tilt state.

 

If you do this, the ball goes through the bumpers like the 4D Man in the film of the same name through walls.
