I'm kinds glad this one came up - always wanted to learn a bit more about how to play it.

 

There's a beautiful db2s backglass for this too, I installed it the other day and it looks fantastic!

 

Edit: No dips for this game far as I can tell ? F6 just gives me the rom (country) version.

Dips are on the old ones and the settings in the dmd machines are in the rom using the settings buttons inside the coin door (or for vp - 7,8,9,0)

 

So still remove your old nvram as old settings could still be different.

 

 

Have just spent the last week playing these and trying to learn them .... each machine plays different to the last.

I'm using the same version but my dmd isn't as easy to read as that. is there a setting or something I'm missing?

 

do you mean you haven't got the dots on your dmd ? Try unchecking the 'use compact display' option that will give you the dots.

btw this table and a few other dmd tables I get a crackling sound - it's pretty sharp and crackles a fair bit throughout the whole table.

 

It's not a hardware audio issue as it's only restricted to a few tables and they are always dmd tables. Anyone have this issue or know of a fix ?

I don't have a real dmd. I mean the little display it puts in the corner doesn't seem to have as many dots the other screen shot had on it.

 

will that setting still apply to me?

Hit F5, it doubles the window size of the dmd.

 

looks like you use a 4:3 monitor, so the dmd window will cover the top part of the table.

Turn the sound level down a bit in the rom for that table 28 is to high and can start crackling, and too low can also cause it. Try 25.

 

Use "End" to open door > "8" or "9" to lower or raise volume > "End" to close door.

Yep still applies. You can also resize the dmd to your preferred size by right clicking it, and saying 'show borders' and then you can click the borders to resize it however you want. When you have the size / shape you want just hide the borders again. Unchecking 'use compact' will give you the dots so it simulates a real dmd.

 

Hope that helps.

The sound on this game is great, but damn it's kicking my arse for some reason.

 

I've had the game get stuck quite a few times, Thing grabs the ball, Gomez says "No, no, no" and then nothing, can't nudge anything loose and it just sits waiting, even hitting F3 doesn't fix it :unsure

Yeah it's a pain when it does that .... melon fixed the FS version 2.01 but not the desktop 2.0

 

We could either change the FS to a desktop or you have to add a ball to the trough and it will act as if you just lost the ball and count the bonus. Use the "B" key then select yes. It's the only way to continue.

This table is kicking my arse. So many drains down the side it's ridiculous. Rage quitting and no unshameful score to post yet

Thanks for the suggestion - don't want to force the guys with full cabs to play desktop tables :D Don't see a problem with the above solution for the greedy Thing!

Damn I used to love this game.

 

Wish I had the cash to get a proper virtual pin table going and I'd be all over this one (and still get thrashed by most of you) :lol

 

Good to see that a few people are getting behind the new VP League. Good stuff Jamma :)

 

P.S. Looks like Dedrok is the RMacauley of the VP League :)

The cab version plays fine, it was updated.

 

I just meant that we could change the veiwing angles of the cab one to use as an updated desktop ........ Use the same values as in version 2.0 desktop.

All I need to know now is how to add the backdrop and straighten the plunger.

Better post something up. My arch enemy is that little blue post next to the right ramp. I hit it all the bloody time, and the rebound ends up draining more often than not, grrr.

 

Never had a decent multiball yet - usually within seconds two balls are lost.

 

Slowly getting there though and learning :)
