  1. I’m playing #StarTrek (2013) a lot recently. It’s a fast shooter with an easy rule set and a fair difficulty level. All major shots are easy to hit
    (maybe except the warp ramp) and if you miss you’ll probably bash into something else. Only downside are the interchangeable missions (Klingon Battle? Prime Directive? Just hit the flashing ramps) and the rather low Trek vibes which are kind of fine for me, cause I don’t care so much for Kelvin Trek anyway.

  2. @Austin_Dern Haha, I also managed to bring Stern Star Trek into a state where it threw “plunger malfunction” errors at me during multiball. It even persisted into the next game, had to restart #VPX. Guess the ROM lost track of the ball count.

  3. Figured out a problem with volume on tables. Remembered that under the 'coin door' setting there's a volume for games that have digital sound effects. Brought that up so it was at the same level as the 'table sounds' (like bumpers and flippers and stuff), and now it's completely playable!

  4. Had to get this one up and running. IYKYK.

    :)

  5. Tonight I finally got back to almost par working on my machine. I had built the standard VPX Windows based box a while back and let me tell you - it SUCKED. Maintenance was almost impossible, and... it just sucked. The games played okay when they played, but debugging problems? Absolute nightmare.

    This is now runnign on and is much easier to maintain. Here's Attack from Mars on it. It's good to be back.

  10. Some interesting new tables! Frontier by Bally and Terrific Lake by Sportmatic. Frontier is really fun.

  11. In other hobby news - my setup is giving me some hassles. I really want to get Addams Family to work correctly (other tables are working great), but holy crap these graphics look like ass. I wonder what i'm doing wrong.

  12. 3d printed a front panel and mounted the basic buttons. About ready to go to the next step on this one and install the new buttons and panel into the big cabinet.

  13. I'm having WAY too much fun with this build. This is a VirtualPinball table, currently running GOONIES. I've gotten the playsurface, backglass, and dot matrix display working, controls are currently on the keyboard, but i have the parts for the rest of the box.

    I think I'm going to scale up the monitor from 27" to 32" before building out the actual cabinet. But holy cats this is fun.

  14. FLOSS-Game Highlight: Visual Pinball, eine Verschmelzung von Spielspaß und Innovation

    In der Welt des Spielens gibt es nur wenige Erlebnisse, die so zeitlos und fesselnd sind wie Flipper. Der Reiz, eine Metallkugel durch ein Labyrinth von Stoßstangen und Zielen zu lenken, hat Jahrzehnte überdauert.

  15. Sunday morning pinball on the cabinet: played a bit of the stellar new Total Nuclear Annihilation for VPX, as well as the new remastered Fantastic Four in Pinball FX (my favorite FX3 table!).

  16. The release of VPW's Big Bang Bar got me to finally go through the long and arduous process of getting everything to work with VPX 64-bit.

    Hoooo boy did it work though. The physics on this thing are mind blowing.

  17. I was sure we'd seen the last major VPW release before the end of the year, but then they dropped a Christmas present in the form of Game of Thrones.

    And what a table this is! Deep, complex rules, worthy of the source material. Yet another killer VPW release.

  21. I know I've said this like ten times this year, but man, VPW is killing it with their VPX releases. The latest is a recreation of Stern's X-Men, and it's just awesome.

    Gorgeous graphics, fantastic physics, and some of the best uses of DOF effects I've ever seen.
