Description:
Superman Graphic Mod Of JP's Ali Table.
Thanks to Noah for giving me permission to upload this table and a Big Thank You to JPSalas for allowing me to add Superman to his fantastic "Ali" table.

All Superman and Ali pics were taken from the one-shot comic book, "Superman Vs Ali"

You need the "Ali" Rom to run this table.

It's good practice.

This 4:3 version is exactly like JP's Ali table as I only added graphic files to it. I notice a lot of screenshots where people play these tables 4:3 tables with a widescreen monitor and the table is stretched into ugliness.... A shame.

Thank you very much for the nice mod.

Hey Bob5453 thank you so much for this table. I did import some of the images into a plain Ali table . I couldn't import the bumpers though . No pictures of the bumbers. Thanks again for the completed table . My Username is speed24 because I race online. I also follow Nascar. I just got back from Martinsville this pass weekend. It was a great race. Thought Gordon was going to win if Kennseth would had hit him going down the staight away. But any how , thanks for this great recreation again .

Hey Bob5453 do you know that the Main Event sign isn't standing up in your 4:3 table like it does in the F\S table . I was just wondering about that . It doesn't matter because you created a masterpiece play field with this table . Thanks for the creation Bob5453.

It's not a sign. I erased the boxing gloves from the Ali playfield, because I didn't like the graphic. I just replaced it with the words MAIN EVENT written on the playfield. You can't see it as well on the 4:3 version, because the table is at an angle and you are looking at it from the front of the table. The Full Screen version shows the table from a birds eye view, so you can see the whole playfield better.

It really is amazing playing these tables in Full Screen, I don't think I could go back to playing Horizontal tables again. You don't need a cabinet, you just need a widescreen monitor and a makeshift stand and then physically turn the monitor when you want to play VP. I just added a 12 inch board to my desk that is on hinges, I raise the board, reach up (still sitting in my chair) and physically turn a 23 inch widescreen monitor (the new ones are very lightweight) and then lean it against the back of by computer cabinet (notice the 3 rubber circles at the top of my cabinet, so I don't scratch the monitor.)

Total cost for my Full Screen playing experience.

Monitor - 200 dollars

12inch board - laying in the basement

2 hinges - I have a whole box of them in the basement as I disasemble things before I throw them away. Living in the same house with a basement for 35 yrs. has its advantages.

Normal view pic below, notice piece of wood in front of monitor (rubber strips in back so it doesn't scratch my monitor.)

HyperPin Frontend view pic, notice backglass on 4:3 monitor matches game, just scroll through your tables and pick a game to play, hit return and you'll never play 4:3 tables again, all this and I never had to get out of my rocker-recliner.

Think about standing up and looking down at a pinball table, now if you stay sitting, and place your widescreen monitor sideways at about 75-80 degree angle (leaning back) you have the best of both worlds right in front of you.

I don't understand why I can play this table on my pc and not the Ali table??? On the Ali table, the flippers are translucant and the graphics are jumpy and studders. If this table was made from the Ali table and just the graphics were changed, why can't I play the Ali table also?

I'd like to know what you did differently that allows your table to play on my machine and what the other author did or didn't do. Both of these tables have outstanding graphics. I just wish I could also play the original table as well.

I think I resized some of his graphics to be no larger than 1024 pixels length or width, but I'm not sure anymore. This would be the difference if I did that as I also can't play tables with larger than 1024 graphics. This would be the only change as I never changed anything in the script

This could be used for a sequel.

Go for it!

Very cool Bob, I'll have to grab it. Looks like fun. Maybe a Homer vs Bart mod?
