Good choice of game. Is anyone else having trouble with the ball getting stuck behind the target at the left ramp and not enough umff for the auto plunger to shoot the ball up the ramp? I had to extend the wall behind the target and up the plunger strength to 100 and it still need some tweaking on my table. The ball also catches between the right ramp and apron but slowly slides out like a slug out of a hose.

Are you using VPX version 10.4? You may get some unusual behavior if you aren't.

There are some things that needed to be changed to make it work on newer versions of VPX due to changes in how some things are handled.

Thanks mozzie, I had to move a couple of gates to stop the ball jamming and adjust the plunger as the the ball wasn't sitting on the rest and the plunger wasn't working properly.

For those with VPX7 who may be having the same issues this is a link to the game with my fixes.

Thanks JAR Im using the latest VPX7 rev and latest VPinMAME, latest freezy and B2S. I got it to work moving the gates to let the short ramp loops to work and moved the plunger down to let the ball sit in the plunger cradle. All good now. Thanks for the heads up. Link for VPX7 users above for the changes.

720140420 best score so far on ball 2 with 2 balls caught under the the right ramp. Probably would have overlooked fixing this game if I wasn’t in the comp and I would have missed out on a very fast smooth game. Top choice Crakkers.

Either you have an updated table or you're getting lucky with no balls getting stuck. 

I don't recall what version the changes were made but know that this table was made for 10.4. 

I don't mind how people enjoy it, was just offering the simplest way of guaranteeing flawless play.

Mate, this is a good crew. So greatful that you share your insights build trust and just encourage us to have fun and be nice. I’ve always believed the more I share the more room it gives to grow. With respect to the game I just tweaked the gates to stop the ball catching. The plunger was also a little highWasn’t much. The ball flys around the ramps now. It got caught once in wrong turn so I lifted the the gate up a  Little more to let it slide over to the right lane when the ramp gate shuts off. Not sure if it’s 100% but definitely much better and heaps more fun. Thanks JAR

Got 10.7 on my laptop and so far not having any issues with Sheltemke's 4K mod v1.2, but I'll give Russty's mod a shot if I get into strife.

All good. I wouldn't take offense anyway. I do suggest not replace a working version with whatever I post in the future. Any VPX version is allowed, by all mean try different ones but keep them named differently until you decide what one you're keeping.

I think the 4K version Crakkers quoted is VPX6. "Sheltemke's 4K mod v1.2" Thats the one I'm playing and no sticky balls with it.  i juste googled it and it found it on VPForums. hopefully that gets you out of trouble.

If your running VPX7 this is the link to my modded non 4K version
