This and Home Alone were my most watched movies as a young boy.

That MAMOOSHKA dance got me hype as fuck.

I want to fuck the daughter

I like lurking pinball discussions. I've played pinball many times before, but there's a lot of stuff I do not know.

Feels bad man, even if you buy the physical machine you'd need to hire a group of people to stand behind you to watch and smoke.

>>2655271

I'm pretty lucky in that I live close enough to a major Pinball Museum that I can visit every few weeks. $15 all-day admission and a shitton of free-play machines. Its great.

>NOW YOU DIE!!

Just another reminder that The Pinball Wizard Arcade in Pelham, NH has bitchin selections of both pin and vidja games. Northeast fags, go check them out!

I wish I could git gud at pinball. I used to think that 75 million was a decent score, just wathed a video where the guy's best was 370 million.

>>2656832
Damn you suck. I've gotten over 3 billion before.

>implying those numbers mean anything when you don't say what table.

>>2656842
Stern machines are stupid.

>>2656859
This, except Star Trek.

>>2656859
What does that have anything to do with it?

>>2656842
The video in question was Addams Family. My 75 was on a Jurassic Park.

>>2656898
I remember the sequel to that, Revenge from Mars or whatever was its title. It had a CRT hanged up above the board, which "projected" a video overlay to the screen.

It was fucking ace. Like all of those console pinballs where half the screen transforms and suddenly you had to cow-abducting-flying-saucers instead of shooting at ramps, except that this was an actual mechanical pinball table.

Very impressive.

>>2656934
Sorry not trying to sound like a dick now but you realize you can't compare scores between tables?

Or maybe I have misread this thread. Either way, the only way to git gud is to just play more pinball.

>>>2656962
My knowledge of pinball basically amounts to "hit the ball into stuff", but I suppose it does make sense.

Unfortunately, the only arcades here are a bar with an MVC and Street Fighter II and one of those that just has arcade versions of fruit ninja and shit.

>>2656952
Revenge from Mars. Yeah not too many people cared for those but the projected video was a pretty novel feature. I think they could have caught on but they only made that one and a Starwars Ep. 1 themed table.

>tfw born 92
>tfw pinball machines are rare as hell in Sweden

Fuck, man. I guess I'll still have Microsoft Pinball.

I never saw an arcade hall until the late 00's either, curse this faggot country.

Pinball and arcade cabinets are extremely rare as well here in France. They almost completely disappeared in the late 90s.

There's always Virtual Pinball, but it's not the same. :^(

>>2656997
OH NO

>>2656973
I have a Revenge from Mars near me, it's awesome. Much better than Episode 1. Launching the ball up the ramp to blow up the mothership is kickass.

How is Pinball Arcade?

>>2657086
The best you're going to get on your computer.

>>2655270
I recently got this collection and Black Knight quickly became my favorite table. It goes nuts with the multiball. It's great.

>>2657102
These guys are also behind The Pinball Arcade. All the previous tables and a whole lot else are up there in the same quality.

Expensive as hell if you want all of them though.

>>2657127
When they do go on sale you can get season 1 and season 2 for 15 dollars a pop. Each season has like 15+ tables.

>>2656973
Fucking Pinball 2000. It killed William's and Bally's.

>>2657127
also there is 1 free table a month. This months table is White Water.

>>2657151
Haha yeah that's what I was thinking but wanted to word it a bit nicer.

So who has played the best table in recent history?

>>2657002
Yeah, those are all in the south, I'd like to play some pinball but not THAT badly.

Come to think of it, that one arcade/bar downtown had a pinball table I'm pretty sure, suppose I could check them out (though I'd have to get some coins). S'pose I could bring my big bro, grab some burgers.

>>2657206
Biggest flash:suck ratio from Stern. That table's real pretty, but the flow of play sucks ass. Star Trek is much better.

>>2657151
Williams was already on the way out of gaming by then. Pinball 2000 was just the last try, and its execution was solid, but the market was dried up. They ended up selling Midway and moved to the other gaming industry (read: casino machines) where they've pretty much been making bank ever since.

>>2655279
Nice to see I'm not the only one from around here. We also gots us a vidya arcade, but sometimes I loves me some woodrail.

>>2657127
>Expensive as hell if you want all of them though.

thank you torrents

>>2657206
Played this for the first time today; fucking beautiful table. Well worth its reputation. Puts Stern to shame (I've actually come to really like some Stern tables but fuck me I nearly came in my pants playing Oz)

>>2657481
Stern games seem to be the same to me and the board tends to overly cluttered

>>2657285
That's not a Stern table, it's a Jersey Jack Pinball table and it's fucking quality.

I do think Star Trek is one of the best Stern Tables but it doesn't have nearly the same replay value for me.

>>2657003
What's visual pinball? Does it still have a physical ball?

>tfw own an addams family pinball machine

Man I'm a total casual about pinball even though it's pretty fun.

What are some good pinball games? I don't care if they're just video games (like pokemon pinball) or more realistic things (like pinball arcade)

>>2657574
No, Its basically taking a TV and laying it down to look like a playfield. It's like building a MAME cabinet but a lot shittier.

>>2657580
This is incorrect actually. It is technically just software for the computer where you can load tables (like roms) on it. It doesn't play very well in my opinion but you can get basically any table ever on it. I would suggest the Pinball Arcade if you are going to play on your computer though.

>>2657579
Pinball Arcade is the way to go.

It's the closest to the real thing, has some good challenges/goals for each table, and does a great job at explaining the tables and how the modes and scoring works for each one.

Some people like PinballFX as well. It is more "video game" like with unreal tables and physics.

I find it pretty hard to go back to older pinball video games that are either static screens or with completely topdown views.

Replay was fixed at 1,100,000 on pic related.

Paid for one game today and played 5.

Never clicked with pinball in the golden age but now I get it.

>>2657579
If you like pinball vidya I'd recommend Pro Pinball : The Web.

>>2655279
Silver ball?

>>2658008
Holy fuck, Sword of motherfucking Fury!! I seriously hope you played that too.

Did anyone ever make a machine that starts off like a pachinko game with the ball starting on a vertical board then eventually makes its way down to a normal pinball board?

>>2658382
oh, this kind of looks like one, cant tell if thats just a picture or not though.

>>2658008

>>2657178
I just downloaded the game from steam. How do I get the free table?

>>2657578
Fucking pimp. I've always wanted a Addams Family and Twilight Zone table.

>>2655270
Fuck yes Black Knight 2K

>>2658404
You don't "get" they just allow you to play it without the highscore restriction.

>>2658389

Banzai is the first dual playfield machine, the backglass is a 3 flipper fully playable field accessed with a magnet that carries the ball from the lower field.

It moves very similar to pachinko on the top playfield, fast falling and harder to control.
---//---
There is a nice feature explained at 12:30min in the PAPA video on Banzai Run, where the code will create a run on sentence on the fly if two rivals are challenged in quick succession.
Confirmed yesterday that it will combine the sentence for 3 challenges also.

>>2658445

John Popadiuk is a hack, I've said it on here before and now EVERYONE knows. He's stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars from the pinball community over the last few years. Con man, liar, hack, scam artist. The only way he "designed" his stolen-concept games originally was by having talent at Williams to con into getting it done. Fucking dirt hack scam.

Visual Pinball 9.9.1 is nothing compared to Virtual Pinball 9.9.0 PhysMod beta 5, the ultimate Windows-based computer experience.

Pinball Arcade is laughable now to me. I have over 100 fullscreen PhysMod5 tables set up, all with the scripts fixed so they'll actually run without the flippers fucking up from backglass servers and shit.

This is tight, all the good tables. Sterns too. Finally got Spiderman (2007) working. I made a pack before but you still need to install and set it up right...now even more to install and way more tables. Found big stashes. Mother loads.

Anyone who's already got Visual Pinball set up, get the PhysMod5 binary and drop it in the deal. And check out this new hotness, tables.

Those are both highly mediocre tables but one is worth more. Everyone steals Python's toys but at least he got credit for designing the one in BBB. Gary straight up bit it.

The Hobbit (2016) Jersey Jack Pinball
pf - Joe Balzer (Wizard of Oz to his name)
soft - Pinball Keefer (deepest rules)

vs.

Game of Thrones (2016) Stern
pf - Steve Ritchie (King of Flow)
soft - Lyman F. Sheats Jr. (Second Coming of Eugene Jarvis)

Previous Ritchie / Sheats games are AC/DC and Spiderman. Ritchie / Jarvis is like Firepower! and F14-Tomcat. So we know what to expect in that regard.

I've played The Hobbit at a convention. Not really sure what's going on yet, was set up for 2 ball play and there was a line etc. The big deal here is that Keith Johnson did the software on Lord of the Rings also. If you're into that, maybe Hobbit is the one to look forward to. Speculate.

>>2659904
>The Hobbit (2016) Jersey Jack Pinball
Man I hate those new tables.

The table itself feels empty whereas the screen is too big and displays way too much stuff, which is kind of distracting. There's not enough mechanical stuff for me to enjoy.

>>2659904
I think its going to be close but think the Hobbit will be better mainly due to Keefer. Stern is still very hit or miss with their tables (mostly miss). Star Trek was great and I'm hoping GoT delivers in the same way but after WoZ, JJP have a perfect record so far (one).

I have yet to play the Hobbit though.

Hey guys, can I play with you?

>>2655279
Me too. These are all 1910s-1990s. All working.

I just want to remind you all: I can perform actual live and drop catches with PhysMod5. We're all counting on you.

>>2658376

I know it's supposed to be a super-rare table, and maybe I'm spoiled or something because there's like 3 down here in South Florida, but I've seen a hell of a lot of Swords of Fury lately.

Which is good, because every time I hear LION MAN or CHALLENGE ME I smile like a fucking idiot. Fucking fun ass game.

>>2659904
Nevermind, Jack is such a business genius that he took some time off from insulting his customers to fire Joe Balcer midway through the design of The Hobbit. So someone else will probably end up taking credit for it and it will be 2017 or something.

>>2660304
LIONMAN

I own a SOF too

That feel when suddenly the addams family pinball table where you work is just suddenly gone.
This new one hasn't even worked right since it was installed

>>2660876
I'd be upset if they replaced Addams Family with that crud too.
What does "loonies only" mean?

There used to be an Addams Family near me but now there's a Scared Stiff, I ain't even mad. At least it ain't a Stern.

>Pinball Arcade will never get the best pinball table ever because it's a Data East one

It was at a local landromat when I was growing up.

>>2661481
Eh, I ripped it off of Air Farce.

>>2661516
Data East sold their Pinball company to Sega, then sega sold it to stern. So Stern owns those rights. The issue is now talking to disney.

>>2657595
Oddly enough, the better I've gotten at real pinball over the years, the more I've enjoyed old video pinball games with their own weird physics.

>>2661571
Don't do this to me, man.

Quick question; what happens if you play regular vp.9.9.x tables with PhsyMod5 VP's exe? Do they play with the default physics, have enhanced physics, or do they just flat out not work?

>>2661587
from wiki
>During the same year, Sega left the pinball industry and sold its pinball division, previously purchased from Data East in 1994, to Gary Stern, the son of Sam Stern. Gary Stern, who had been running Data East/Sega pinball since 1986, founded Stern Pinball, Inc. that same year. [1] Stern Pinball, Inc. is based in Melrose Park, Illinois.

>>2661252
>replaces $4500 machine with $5000 machine
>Steve Ritchie / Lyman Sheats game
You miss all the stops, don't you. Can't handle the flow / deep rules.

>>2661610
PhysMod5 runs physics at 1000 MHz, 1000 calcs / second. Regular is 100 / second. So when you play PhysMod5 exe with normal tables, everything movies in slow motion. But look how smooth the flippers move.

It's good for playing around, but it won't work for playing. PhysMod5 tables have the friction and gravity and a lot of other variables tweaked so that the table will work with the real physics. Floaty regular VP physics don't even have ball spin!

>>2661610
There was a guy on vpforums in Oct or Nov of 2014 who released a number of his "private" tables with PhysMod5 added.

The link got shouted down and removed within a week, but somewhere out there those tables should exist.

I can only imagine where that table was before, because holy FUCK was that machine turned up to 11. I still played it, but it was very unpleasant, and the staff agreed. Of course, because there would be concerns about workers stealing the cash, they didn't have a key for the coin door on location, so I couldn't turn it down, which sucked hard. Next time I'm going there, I'm bringing some ear plugs, because that table wasn't just loud as hell, it was fast and unforgiving too, and it made it personal. I am making this machine my bitch one way or another.

>>2661941
I love it when the volume is turned way up, as long as the location is appropriate. It's more immersive that way.

>>2661941

Maybe complain about the volume level?

>>2661962

>didn't read the whole post

>>2661968
Ah, you're right, I missed that "And the staff agreed" part.

How'd I miss that?

>>2661941
>no key on location
>can't remove glass during play to fix machine or get stuck ball

I guess they probably don't refund your money either when the machines eat your money? When your game is ended by a stuck ball?

>>2661957

I can only guess that whoever installed that machine must have been a big Kiss fan and loves to play it loud. Either that, or it was at an incredibly noisy venue. Like, a table like Kiss does very much lend itself to playing it loud, but they just went overboard on that one.

>>2661997

They'd probably refund and shit, they just can't fix things. The staff all seem pretty friendly - as they probably have to be, as casinos are all over the god damn place here and customer service is one of the few ways you can set yourself apart from the others.

There was a problem with the Stern Playboy, in that the post that was supposed to pop up when you hit the shot right of the center ramp that then lets the shot bounce into the Grotto just wouldn't come up. Ironic, the table with bare titties all over the place can't get its rod up. Anyway, my dad and I were arguing about what could be causing the problem for a fairly long time, but at the end of the day, all we could work out without getting the glass off or access to the diagnostics menu is that "something was wrong", and the staff on site couldn't do much more than write down our description of the problem and forward it to the tech guys, which seem to be separate from the casino itself, I think?

I have yet to run into an op anywhere around here that has actually been a pleasure to work with. Shit fucking sucks.

>>2662012
It's one of the first games to run on Stern's new SPIKE platform. They don't know what the fuck is going on yet that's all.

I know, but it's like double the impossible.

>>2662012
I think it's fucking cool that a casino has a bunch of pinball tables. That really ought to be customary, like every casino should have a side room with arcade cabinets and pinball machines, (and a vending machine or two), as well as a couple of dedicated staff for overseeing and maintaining the room, and a desk where you can exchange bills for quarters.

For one, it would just be fucking cool, and for another, it'd give kids something to do while their parents gamble.

If this thread lives until Tuesday, Game of Thrones playfield pictures and info will be out.

>>2664386
Oh they're making a table out of that? Kinda cool.
But sure, I can put in my share of bumping for that.

In the meantime, can anyone think of a decent pinball game for a console from the 90s to emulate? I think I know where I can find a Twilight Zone table in town (the only table I know of), but I'm flat broke at the moment, yet I still wanna give pinball a go, haven't played any in ages.

The only one I can think of is Kiss Pinball for the PS1 but I heard it wasn't very good.

>>2655059
Tina Fey did some of the voices in the game

>>2664569
You can run Twilight Zone with realistic physics with the PhysMod5 links above. VP/PM5 has DirectX now so tables run easily on most hardware. For Windows only.

>>2664569
Last Gladiators for Saturn is very good, and runs perfectly in SSF.

Not quite, but not that hard. However, the same company also made Super Pinball 1 and 2 on SNES, which are also both good.

>>2655270
2K had the best music.

I've been wondering about the Gold edition of Addams Family. Was there any real difference in the table or was it all just gold?

>>2664592
Mine neither.

It can still run MGSV like a fucking boss but I have to turn off AA for Pinball Arcade to play Arabian Nights. Go figure.

>>2655707
>tfw the Elvira discussion was fucked because of 4chan's incompetence

I fucking loved Scared Stiff. I don't think there's another table with as many double entendres. Fucking lost the first time I got Good Head.

>>2664587
>>2664607
I loved Super Pinball, didn't learn about Digital Pinball for a decade later and oh man it was a such a huge treat.

Last Gladiators is okay, but Necronomicon is much better, by the way. It's also more similar to Super Pinball 1 in some ways. I still consider it the best computer pinball game ever made. Any newer game can only top it in graphics fidelity and gimmicks, but not in sheer badassness.

Just consider: Dream Theater style prog metal music (Petrucci even wrote the intro), Lovecraft themed tables and features, hi-res graphics, 7 ball Multiball modes. And nonstop creepy as heck narration about how the Book of the Dead holds dark knowledge from beyond the Wall of Sleep, and it might cost your soul to read it (all the tables are based on a librarian reading the Necronomicon, and the secrets he learns from it).

There was also a japan-only re-release of Last Gladiators that featured better game physics, but it also made the game a bit harder IMO. It's much difficult to get balls up on ramps on that one. But it's true that on the original version, it was like if the balls were unaffected by gravity.

>>2664651
That sounds fucking amazing. I'm not too fond of Dream Theater's vocals or lyrics, but their musical structure is pretty fucking legendary.

>>2664604
Working on building a complete Mega link with all necessary files and 89 unique fullscreen PM5 tables (broken tables fixed).

It's best with two monitors so you can turn one and have the score display or backglass (if an EM) on the other. Not needed though, the backglass can always run behind the table.

Tables have been re-scripted to work with a normal desktop setup. Running solid state tables with backglasses trips up the flippers unless you disable certain things. I'll just take the DMD.

I've heard that Pinball Arcade is very poorly optimised. Visual Pinball would probably work very well for your machine.

on Pinball Arcade.

Has anyone messed around with the backglass stuff that VP is capable of? I never have because it looks overly complicated.
>>2666428
Thanks a ton for your hard work. I'm going to be enjoying the shit out of this.

>>2666551
I only use it for EM tables (with the analog scoring) since it runs twice with SS (rom) tables unless you disable the right things.

It works fine with EM tables because only one scoring mechanism is running. With SS and backglass the flippers mess up and stick or don't deploy 5% of the time.

So the Fast Draw and OXO and Road Race tables I use the backglass server and it works fine. Everything else I set to run only with VPinMAME.

>>2666551
Also, it's no problem. PhysMod5 tables are so precious and hard to find sometimes / get working that I needed a central backup depository.

Plus this way if anyone finds any more they can go up to the Mega without changing any links. There are more out there but they were released without certain modders' or authors' permissions and squashed. They're meant to be played, by us.

The problem seems to be that the physics are so good that these tables are what they run on the $5000 virtual cabinets at shows. "Hey, check out this Back to the Future, real physics!" Isn't that more of a problem than me trying to play someone's free work on my personal computer?

>>2666572
Also, there are hundreds and hundreds of more tables at vpforums.org and vpuniverse.com for running with the normal Visual Pinball 9.9.1 with more "video-gamey" physics. Still better than Pinball Arcade, and almost any table one could want has been attempted with success.

I just can't go back though, even for The Shadow.

>>2663314
JESUS CHRIST

Fuck me! Going from VP9.9 to PM5 instantly made my pinball skills go from Tommy to Helen Keller. I swear nudging does fuck all. It's like flicking sunflower seeds at a bowling ball.

>>2664627
AA is wasted cycles, downsample from a higher resolution

>>2666665
Learning the ways of the real table you are. Nudge the split second the ball abuts some rubber and you'll see some extreme movement.

>>2666667
Or run this bad boy with real physics, looks sort of downrezzed itself.

>Getaway 1.0.1 VP9.2 FS Physmod5

>>2666665
Which table? Every script on every table includes different nudge strengths, tilt bob spans, and some other relevant things. Probably just no more magic Pinball Arcade predictable nudges though.

>>2666665
I used to almost get to Valinor on JPsalas' LotR, now I don't think I've gotten a replay yet with the same table + PM5. Haven't played much yet too many others.

>>2666689
On the other hand, I 1cc several Lawlor Sterns at different locations for well over an hour now due to PM5

Basic instructions for adapting tables to PM5:

Description of physics parameters:

https://github.com/c-f-h/vpinball/wiki/VP10-Physics

Also apparently pressing F11 in PhysMod5 gives you a visualization of ball spin.

>>2666763
I wasn't even aware Family Pinball got localized, but it looks like shit compared to the original with dat pacman. I got my copy for 4 bucks on ebay with free shipping, I loved it. Reminds me I need to pick up Rollerball tomorrow.

Posting my humble digital pinball collection.
>>2666769
Excellent!! Thanks a ton man, you're a total bro.

>>2666803
PhysMod5 / (future) VP10 Physics:

• Physics framerate raised from 100 Hz to 1000 Hz. This increases the smoothness, accuracy and stability of the physics simulation.

• Physics now always use a fixed timestep. This eliminates all FPS dependence of the physics code and makes smooth gameplay at vsynced framerates possible.

• Proper simulation of ball spin. All rotational effects are fully simulated: the ball will properly pick up spin from moving over the playfield and other objects, and collisions with playfield objects will take the spin into account to deflect the ball properly.

• Simulation of friction on contact and collisions. This goes hand in hand with the previous point since friction with the playfield is the main source of ball spin, and frictional effects during collisions cause the ball to deflect according to spin. In particular, the ball will now properly transition from sliding over the playfield to rolling on it. This means that it will first convert some translational kinetic energy into rotational energy until it enters a natural roll, at which point friction doesn't do much anymore and the ball is free to roll. The stored up rotational energy has the effect that the ball needs a bit more force put into it to get it to move or stop it again.

• Flippers are now simulated as true dynamic rigid bodies which have forces from the solenoid, the return spring and the ball acting on them and accelerate accordingly. They will also properly bounce off their stoppers instead of just moving to maximum extension and then stopping. In practice, this means that flipper/ball interaction is now much more realistic and less binary. Post passes, light taps, cradle separations, drop and live catches are now all possible. Furthermore, the simulation of the friction of the flipper rubbers greatly improves aiming.

>>2666803
More on how to convert. This is a guide by the guy who had all his PM5-converted tables taken down (7 months before hosting them he said he had 122 converted, ugh). But he left us with the word on how he did it:

http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27416&page=17#entry263100

>>2666823
I wish guys like this would post shit here instead of on forums where everyone whines about their ORIGINAL CREATIONS DO NOT MOD to the point of shit getting taken down. Someone is nice enough to update your stuff for you and this is what he gets. Babies.

>>2666951
Already converted the table / physics, flippers, and bumpers on Monopoly to PM5 as a test. Table is up and running in PM5 with real physics. Needs some more adjustments. Going to check the slingshots next, maybe add some randomization.

The rambo mod for raven has an interesting thread on vpforums. Apparently they want to full on include b2s into vp's source code, but the guy who made b2s isn't responding so they can't get his source. Bummer since that would let you have pinball tables with custom music, which is what they want for the Rambo table. Hearing that theme while playing that table would be balls awesome, especially if they used the SID chip renditions like suggested in the thread. Can't seem to get that ravena.zip file to work with pinmame though. I wonder where I can find that custom version?

>>2667003
Upload that when you're done, I fucking love that table.

>>2666951

Here it is as it stands now. Changed the ROM to the correct one also. Flipper stop and start angles might need slight adjustment.

Ball falls through the shooter lane sometimes.

>>2667068
I think either the other Mario table or other simpsons table should be your next one. It bugs me to have one in PM5 but not the other for those.

Beautiful recreation. I wish someone would do Secret Service and Amazon Hunt to this quality. Night mods make my dick diamonds.

>those tables that instantly game over for tilting instead of just losing one ball
Dick move Raven.

>>2667154
You can always go into the script and give yourself a wider tilt bob, it's your virtual machine now

Maybe there's a setting in the menu (while game is running) for danger/double danger instead of auto-tilt too. END key opens coin door, other number keys are buttons. F2 shows controls.

Good suggestion, I went ahead and did that. Reminds me of that Replay museum over at Tarpon Springs near Tampa. Those guys just flat out disable the tilt bob on ever machine. Such bros.

>>2667162
>>2667164
Yea, these are the ones I'm currently using and they're butt ugly, especially Amazon Hunt which has terrible lighting and layering problems out the ass. Secret Service has some really bad artwork on it too, just look at that "SPY" text and lights on top, that shit is off center from the actual lights! Still fun as fuck though, but could look so much better.

>>2667174
Speaking of tilt bobs, that copy of Big Bang Bar would throw Danger every single time you nudged at any strength prior to adjustment.

>>2667182
Yea I noticed that too, it was set to something retardedly high like 56. You could sneeze on that machine and piss it off.

I don't know if this is an issue with PM5's physics or if it's just that damn hard on a real table, but that goddamn left ramp is a real motherfucker to get the ball up. I'm really enjoying this fuckin table either way.

Premier had weak low voltage flippers until John Borg redesigned them.

By the way conversionanon, I found a problem with monopoly. If you don't plunge the ball and wait too long, it will slowly fall into oblivion and be unplayable.

>>2667251
Yea, after watching TNT's video on it, it's completely accurate to the original table. It's well known for being a bitch of a ramp, especially with the weaker flippers.

Went ahead and picked up Rollerball today, and holy fuck this game is great. Lack of nudge sucks, but this game actually has multiball! No reviewer bothered to mention that! This game is rad, see if you can beat my humble score.

>>2668307

>Ironman FS 1.04 vr-beta1 PM5.zip

The ball blows out of the shooter lane on mechanical plunge, needs adjustment. B for ball to trough, ball save will save you. Or help find the problem. Select > plunger > mech strength / release speed (plungerIM / autoplunger strength 50 / 0.6 sends ball right up into the rollovers like it should)

>>2668416
I've played the real thing too, and it sucked.

I'm not a fan of most Sterns, honestly, outside of LotR and Simpsons. Fuck those tables are good, though.

>>2668578

Try going to "Select" when you load the table, the arrow next to it, to bring up all the elements on the table. The plunger ought to be called "plunger" so you can select it then hit Options to bring up its characteristics.

Can mess with the mechanical strength and release speed to adjust the "spring" to your tastes.

Anyone rocking this Family Guy yet? Super-heaty, Zen Pinball partnered with Stern and it will be their first table released.

Only errors I'm getting involve the upper captured ball(s). Got one stuck in them once and one time knocked one loose. Probably due to ballsize 54 > 50 for the ramp. Maybe fix the ramp instead of resize ball will fix.

Got invited to my local pinball league today and they told me they were doing freeplay at 7 until close. I hauled ass over there on my half hour break to get as much pinballin in before I had to go. Owners were total bros. This was the same place I go to on my lunch break when I'm at work.

Played the piss out of it at the league, now I wanna git gud. Got the king's ransom and shit went nuts. Fucking love this table. I'm sure I can fix it the same way I fixed the monopoly table. Thanks for looking that up for me.

I downloaded it and converted it to PM5

Jesus this table is sexy. I love that the DMD is part of the play-field instead of on the backglass.

How'd you get CV to run? Alter the registry lines in the script?

>>2671190
I had to alter a shit ton of stuff, commenting out a lot of B2S shit and forcing the game name. I usually love it when tables have nice menus to automaticly adjust the script for you, but this one falls flat in that department. Here's a pastebin of my script edits.

BK2K with PM5 hax is in the Mega (PM5 is actually removing hacks since VP9 tables are set to absurd physics to compensate for their weird behavior).

>>2671218
It's in the mega? Because I don't see it.

I'll give it a crack. Fixing a ramp sounds way easier than fixing a fucking plunger that eats balls.

>>2654907
>tfw high score left untouched for over 10 years

Welp, now instead of having a plunger that eats balls, the spinner eats balls or they're getting stuck. I'm going to have to mess with this more and maybe read some stuff. At least mellon had the courtesy to use the fucking layers on his table.

Papa is live on that streaming site for games

>Still can't figure out why the spinner won't launch the fucking ball
Between this issue on melon's BK2K and that fucking plunger on Lord Hiryu's BK2K, I've about had it with the Black Knight's fucking taunting me as I playtest.

There's a Big LeBowski pinball table?

>>2672837
Yea. Sucks too, because this was a license actually deserving of pinball treatment. GoT is just porn with swords.
>>2672858
There's a prototype, but who knows how fucking long it'll be before it's actually mass produced.

>>2672867
Game of Thrones is meant to destroy The Hobbit. (JJP)

Ghostbusters '84 is meant to destroy The Big Lebowski. (DP)

>>2672875
Was there ever a Ghostbusters table? I'd play the shit out of that.

>>2672887
Spiderman VE, Ghostbusters, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Jurassic Park: Lost World, Iron Maiden. Plenty of imaginary Stern pins that are as good as real. Rumor is bond.

>>2672890
I mean Jurassic World. Pins coming up.

Trudeau rumored to do JW with Lyman because some guy wants it so it will happen.

>>2672887
Pinball arcade "created" their own Ghostbusters table and gave it away for free this year.
It's essentially a re skinned Haunted House.

If Stern is going to keep making TV show pins, I hope they stop doing current crap and do something more cult and classic, like Monty Python or MST3K. Both are ripe with awesome themes for mode ideas. I'm tired of bands and superhero tables.

>>2672946
Stern will never do a non-cheesy license. It's all up to Gary, everyone's hands are tied. Stern will never do a non-licensed game either. Over half the Stern titles have a ® or ™ on the end, and then you have AMC's™ The Walking Dead that put them in the middle of the title.

CSI, 24, whatever. Every post on Stern's Facebook the last few days has been antagonistic and mocking potential customers, saying they're the only game in town and they're going to keep stripping features from games further and further. Then banning anyone who questions them.

The line has been drawn in the sand. It's Stern vs. the pinball consumer now, and it will be a battle to the death. Good thing there will be other companies after Gary dies.

So I'm kind of all new to the pinball thing, anyone mind filling me in on what's up with Stern and why they're bad? Legit question.

>>2673140
Mostly boring, shitty tables dressed up with flashy licensed themes. There are only about 3 tables worth playing at all. The bigger problem is that they're pretty much the only game in town for new tables, and they know it. Jersey Jack has risen up to challenge them, but so far it's just a "beat them at their own game" approach (ie. make the table prettier than it is fun). We'll see if The Hobbit changes that.

>>2673140
What tables have you physically played in your experience? When you're out playing pinball try to gauge and compare the quality of the build and design of what you're playing.
Most Stern tables at first glance just appear really cheap and poorly constructed compared to Williams Bally (etc) tables of 15+ years ago.
I'm not a huge fan of Stern but I'm a little more forgiving than some other anons in these pinball threads, when there's slim pickings out in the wild and you don't have much choice Stern can sate your pinball fix, but save for a few tables they crank out a lot of cruddy shit.
And being the only major producer of pinball left it's like they're flaunting the fact that they can get away with mass produced shit.

And while we're shitting on Stern what's their worst pinball in your own opinion?

>>2673140
Because when people call them bad for stripping games, they come up with a 3-tier system for each game in which the base model is actually the median-priced model, with 2K added to the price. The then-base model is that base model with a ton of features stripped out, as much to save money as to act as a disincentive to purchase the cheapest table.

Then there's the Limited Edition, which has new art and a signature and a certificate of authenticity for $1300 more.

In the new GoT table, pictured above, you see the expensive table has an upper playfield and way more features. Then there's the cheap model, and the table looks almost empty like a half-pinball you buy at Costco.

Stern's got all the talent though. What are you going to do, find Nordman elsewhere? Trudeau, Gomez, Ritchie, Borg? The software team? Dwight Sullivan is on now. They're limited by Gary and his Bill of Materials. It's all that matters at Stern, the bottom line raw cost of production. Designers hamstrung.

I admit I'm not at all hardcore into pinball. So what makes a "bad" pinball machine?

>>2673896
If the rules are boring, the shots are too hard or uncomfortable to make, if it has bad art and sound, and if it just isn't fun to play.

>>2673896

>>2673556
>What tables have you physically played in your experience?
Zilch, I'm the guy complaining about the hounding rarity of pinball tables (and arcade machines) in my country earlier in the thread.

There's an arcade hall downtown, which has a Twilight Zone table I'm planning to go visit once I have cash.

>>2674036
That looks like it would be really goofy.

Why are pinball machines included in /vr/? They have nothing to do with vidya..

>>2674312
Because they're a long-time staple of arcades, sitting right beside any game cabinet. And also because get that stick out of your butt, goddamn.

>>2674312
Good thing this board isn't called "retro video games", in that case.

> Zilch, I'm the guy complaining about the hounding rarity of pinball tables (and arcade machines) in my country earlier in the thread.

I feel for you. Here in LA, you're statistically more likely to catch syphilis or gonorrhea than to find a working pinball machine.

I like quite a few of the Stern Tables, but how come none of them have good music? The best music in pinball has come from the band-themed tables (assuming you like those bands). What happened to catchy, memorable stuff like this?

Low quality bait, there wouldn't have been any arcades for the video game movement to happen in without pinball machines already being there.

Maybe you could be enjoying your home jukebox system now instead of the video games you find so precious.

As an old time Metallica fan the great thing about that table is the music but the table isn't worthy of "greatness". The LE is even worse with the snake head spitting the ball back straight down the middle.

Totally worth the drive but isn't there a pretty solid league in Richmond?

Actually got to play the Addams Family pin this afternoon and I totally see why people consider it top tier. Everything about it was comfy as Fuck.

Not to mention the magnets that fucked with your ball! Never seen anything like that on a table b4. Surprised the he'll outta me! I would move on to a different pin after a couple games but find myself gravitating back only a couple minutes later. It's that great.

Stern does have some pretty good tables that just aren't LOTR and Spoderman

>>2678249
That's Mustang though

>>2678382
That's right

I don't understand what makes a good pinball player different from a bad pinball player. I don't even know what words to use to describe a lack of pinball skill. At least in video games I can describe it, with pinball I'm just totally lost.

For example I was at cleveland pinball expo yesterday and watched a guy get something like 350 million on cirqus voltaire, I have no idea how you get a score that high on the table. I'm just dumbfounded, can someone explain what the skills are in pinball that a good player has that a bad player lacks?

>>2670287
christ that's an ugly fucking table. and the game of thrones elements seem more random slap-on than normal, and mostly just generic fantasy.
>>2670295
look at this shit. SWORDS.

>>2678805
Knowledge of the table; layout and ruleset, familiarity.
Some tables like Cactus Canyon can be exploited for a shit ton of points if you know the right tricks.
Basic geometry plays a large part like in mini golf, you'll do better if you know where and when to hit the flipper/ball.
Luck.
And lastly... Nudging!!

>>2654831
Nigga, she's got a fivehead

>>2678824
Everyone pretty much agrees that Stern has gone the way of some video game designers now, expecting modders to finish their work for them.

People are hoping the Premium is a blank whitewood.

>>2678805
It's all in the reflexes.

>>2669253

If you really only want to play Twilight Zone, what's to stop you from only buying the pack that table is in?

>>2678805
Learn the rules of the game. Every machine is different.

>>2678805

Also Ball control.

It starts with learning when NOT to flip (dead passes and such) and progresses to fancier stuff like live catches and drop catches.

>>2680719
I feel like I sort of get that, what I don't get is how I can make a shot and it just goes straight into the side lanes. I can run out a credit on Black Knight in under 30 seconds and I don't get what I'm doing wrong. As far as I can tell it's "hit ball good" which is utterly lost on me.

>>2681854
I'm not the anon you're talking to, but I recommend checking out some of the tutorial videos on the PAPA website. They're much better at explaining mindset and technique than I would be, and you get to see it all on action. Plus, you can watch videos of different tables to learn rule sets and stuff.

>>2681854

Learn what shots on any given table risk a SDTM (Straight down the middle) or outlane gutterball on a fail (or success) and be ready to nudge. And yeah "Hit ball good" is some of it, accurate shooting is important.

That said, many tables are designed with nasty outlanes or SDTM shots. They're meant to eat your quarters afterall. Pic related, that left outlane is a personal nemesis of mine, I swear it has a ball-attracting tractor beam.

For accurate shooting, one intermediate tip I can give you is often times graphics on the table just in front of the flippers can sometimes be used as a reference point, but overall its mostly just getting a feel for the machine (its never the same, one machine might have pristine, strong flippers while another's are so worn out they struggle to make it up ramps and such).

Pinball Arcade won't start at all, Pinball Arcade DX11 crashes on startup.

Please help, I'm asking everywhere I can, yes my drivers are up to date, I have the newest update of Pinball Arcade AND I have DX11. Windows 8.1
