    Gameprom - Pinball HD DaVinci

    Well, I'll open this sub-forum with talk about my favorite Gameprom table, and one of the greatest digital tables I've ever played: DaVinci. I never would have thought of having a pinball table based upon the great Italian scientist and draftsman, but in retrospect it was a perfect choice. The...

    Gameprom sub-forum

    Interesting. What about them (outside of the fact they're huge).

    Gameprom sub-forum

    Crystal Caliburn was by Little Wing, which had a slew of great and unique tables for the old Mac systems. But their forum has been quiet for years, so I'm not sure if their games will ever be updated. Thanks, Gord, for creating the Gameprom forum. That company is still cranking out tables.

    Gameprom sub-forum

    With the number of original tables they've created, I think Gameprom deserves their own sub-forum here. Their first trio of tables (Wild West, The Deep and Jungle Style) were solid entries and had designs that I could imagine being made into real tables. Since then, they've headed in a more...

    Update 46

    That bug is fixed; whatever you set it for now sticks. There are a couple other bugs still present (especially the vanishing score display), but other than that it seems to play fine. I've been slowly crawling my way back up the leaderboard. There seems to be a lot more competition now, and...

    A couple of bugs

    I should have specified that I was talking about the Steam version of Zaccaria. I've heard an iOS update is coming, and that would be much welcomed.

    A couple of bugs

    During Space Shuttle (the Zaccaria version), if I hit both the drop targets heading up the left channel and then get the ball up into that channel, it becomes trapped with no way to dislodge it. During House of Diamonds on ball 4 the entire program crashed. That's never happened before and I'm...

    Another curious Zaccaria update

    A correction: the name of the table IS announced when the icon is clicked. I could have sworn it was when the Play button was clicked. Maybe have the name announced on a rollover instead. At any rate, I finally unlocked the Firefighter table and am enjoying it!

    Another curious Zaccaria update

    The latest update didn't fix the blank score display problem, but it did add a peculiar new soundtrack for the game's intro (which thankfully can be disabled) and also some strange vocal intros for some of the tables. The vocals (simply the name of the table) are unnecessary and sound pretty...

    Pinball Arcade and 4k

    I solved my problem. I just got a Display Port cable and hooked that up to the monitor instead of the HDMI cable. Everything works fine now. Unfortunately, the intermittent slow-down is still present. But outside of that, the gameplay is smooth and the tables look fantastic.

    Same here. TPA actually runs better on my iPad than on my Mac (which has LOTS more horsepower).

    The left edge of your screen

    Interesting. I haven't yet run into this particular issue, and I play on my iPad a lot (an iPad Pro with iOS 10). I usually keep my thumbs just to the side of each flipper. Do you have to be near the edge of the screen for this to be a problem?

    Pinball Arcade and 4k

    I just got a 4k monitor for my 2013 Mac Pro. (I previously had a 1080p.) All versions of TPA now run in slow motion, regardless of the settings. Interestingly, the gameplay in Steam (both natively on the Mac and virtually through Windows) runs smoother than the Mac app version, which tends to...

    Ipad 4 retina and IOS 10

    I'm in the habit of routinely closing all my background tasks, so I've never experienced any stuttering problems with my iPad 4. The Mac version, on the other hand....

    Theme Park Pinball

    If any of the Zaccaria crew are still reading these boards, I'd like to make a request for the table that started it all: Theme Park Pinball. It's still one of my favorite of the original ASK Homework designs, with fast tricky gameplay and great sound effects. I'd love to see this added as a...

    Update 46

    One other change I've noticed: all games default to 3 balls per table when launching Zaccaria, every time, even if you reset the master slider to 5 balls. When you re-launch the game, all tables revert back to 3 balls.

    Update 46

    Zaccaria for Steam just updated to version 46. It claims to be a Happy Easter release with a new Circus 2017 table. But the big thing I noticed was that all of my high scores have been wiped out. I had several tables where I was in the number two spot, so this is disheartening; not the kind...

    TPA 6.10.0 - What's fixed? What isn't?

    I avoided that problem. I have a Windows virtual machine so I got Steam for Windows. The tables there look way better than the Mac version. They're still not as good as the PS versions, but I can live with them. The only frustrating aspect is that since the tables are tied to the Windows...

    Zaccaria rubber ball

    After the latest iOS update last week, launching Age of Pinballs now brings up a message box encouraging users to contact the developer because, starting with the next iOS update, the app will no longer function. That's also true of ASK's specialty iOS tables like Locomotion. It appears that...

    Introduction of TOURNAMENT MODE with unique replay feature

    They are indeed. But I hope they don't become like FarSight and keep adding new features while forgetting to fix current bugs. I'm glad they've been successful with this release; there are some talented people in ASK, and I still love their original tables like Theme Park Pinball. I hope...
