    Saying hi, playing lots of real pinball for 1st time in 20 years!

    Hi, this is invitro, I used to post a lot here until TPA and then Zen/Williams slowed down or stopped making new stuff. I finally made it out to two "retro" arcades about 30 minutes from me (they opened a few years ago; I had some driving problems that prevented me from going earlier). They...

    Head 2 Head stuff currently in PinballArcade.exe file

    I've made some comments here about what I expect the Head 2 Head mode to be. These comments are based on things I've seen in the TPA game files. I don't think I've posted them before, so here are a bunch of them, without any comment (I may comment later): ______the below is found in...

    transcribed Indy 500 rules from TPA

    I have a program that extracts the instructions for tables from the TPA program file. Here are the ones for Indy 500. They might be helpful if you are in a game and can't get to the instructions, or for other reasons. I usually try to do some very light formatting on these to make them look a...

    CONTEST: Predict Season 6!

    I have been dragging my heels, being lazy about starting a contest for Season 6. Or maybe not sure if there was much interest. Anyway, it's almost too late to start... Friday, June 24 will be four weeks since TX-Sector, and so has about a 50% chance of being the date of the first Season 6...

    The Star Trek (Vengeance Premium) intro text for SPA?

    It's official that Stern's Star Trek will be released for Stern Pinball Arcade. Here's a paragraph from the current TPA executable file (PinballArcade.exe), which just might the intro text for it: Star Trek Vengeance Premium (2013): is another outstanding game from designer, Steve Ritchie...

    possible tables to be in Stern Pinball Arcade (SPOILER WARNING!)

    First, this may be a big SPOILER for tables to be in the upcoming Stern Pinball Arcade. So I've put new/unseen tables in a white font, surrounded by [*these delimiters*], and you can highlight the text to read it. I hope this is a good idea :). (NOTE: it's not a spoiler any more, so I've...

    How much pinball do you play? (or have you played)

    I was gonna ask @vikingerik this, and I realized I'm curious about it for you guys. I play almost no real pinball now, due to lack of machines within 100 miles + other problems :(. At least it's not none at all! Anyway, when I was at my most fanatic & privileged with nearby machines, I'd...

    Has anyone extracted a targa/.tga from a .rez file?

    I'm no hacker, but I've had a project for awhile trying to extract individual files from the .rez files. I can get text files out pretty easily... the reason I started this was to get the table instructions so I wouldn't have to transcribe them. I got the ROM's and some sounds extracted from...

    No Fear instructions, transcribed from TPA

    Here's the No Fear instructions, that I partially extracted with a program, and partially transcribed. They were taken from the first NF version, 1.44.7, on PC/Steam. I've done some very minor formatting and may do more later. [] means the instructions point to this table feature in TPA...

    Game with a full orbit before High Speed?

    High Speed has a full orbit where you can shoot around the circumference of the playfield. I've tried a little bit to think of an earlier game with such an orbit. Is there one?

    Head 2 Head?

    The PC version just got a Head 2 Head button: It doesn't have much to say yet: Does anyone know how this is going to work? When it's the other player's turn, will we just sit and watch him play until he loses a ball (and any extra balls), or will it work another way? I don't envy...
