[QUOTE="MagnumXL, post: 219163, member: 2512"] Vsync + Full screen Window mode got rid of all the problems on VMWare Fusion Virtualized Windows XP on my Mac for the Windows version. It plays as smooth as the native Mac version now (lighting is very different is the main thing, although I get the feeling the flippers aim a bit different as I have no trouble hitting Bob's bunker over and over on the Mac version of RoadShow. If I want DX11 effects, though I'll have to set up Boot Camp with Win7 or newer and reboot. My complaint about "speed" though has more to do with the virtual table slope. It feels too shallow on 1990s games (i.e. slow acceleration under 'gravity' back towards the drain). This makes the games too easy and the gameplay too slow. Real world tables often had slopes of 7 to 8 degrees. This [i]feels[/i] more like 4-6. I shouldn't be able to rip through every wizard mode on my first or second try. I'm good at pinball in the real world, but even I need to warm up a few games before I start wiping out every score on the game, particularly on games I haven't played in awhile.
