> the Vpinmame DMD right on the backbox cabinet. The doctor lights on the cabinet
> work as well.
>
> The table also has a 100% functional Time Expander (more complete than the one
> I made for KC's table). It can eject balls at all 3 levels now (normally only
> would happen during a ball search or test mode). It also looks almost exactly
> like the real time expander at all levels and the balls carry up with it, etc.
>
> I've got brand new fully accurate looking ramps all around now with the right
> style ramp ends in place. Unlike KC's table, the right ramp return looks
> correct, but doesn't need his kicker system to work. It's just like the real
> thing in appearance and operation. This is done with a simulated 3-wire ramp
> piece made to fit in with the rest of the 4-wire ramp.
>
> The table also has GI effects and both the GI effects and the Dalek animation
> can be turned off/on via an in-game GUI menu options system (like the ones
> wpcmame designed for other tables). The GI effects in Dr. Who are unusual in
> that they are actually used in the attract mode of the game and fully during it.
> But they can be turned off by pressing the F6 key and selecting the disable
> option.
>
> The playfield is completely cleaned up and the lights realigned and color
> changed to be accurate. All gameplay is pristine. Balls do not bounce off
> ramps or jump ramps, etc. The table is nearly perfect in operation to as close
> as I remember.
>
> The only remaining question is whether I've got the GI effects hooked up to the

You hurt my feelings. I don't like your version. It breaks a fantasy rule that I have so I hereby banish you from the Internet... ROTFLMAO :)

Face it PacDude, you're a Pinball addict, they can break your posting but not your joy of the GAME... LOL :)

That might be all that keeps some of us in it :)
