[QUOTE="mmmagnetic, post: 155134, member: 558"] After a couple of tries where I lost my patience and just shut down my old PC without accomplishing anything, I [B]finally[/B] got VP working on my old W7 64bit machine. It used to crash all the time when loading the table data, but this time I uninstalled everything, made some tea, took a few deep breaths and followed the instructions on the VPForums site with full attention. And voila! Suddenly I´m playing Addams Family, Roadshow and Simpsons. (It really shouldn´t have taken me so long, since I´m kinda used to all this romset business from my MAME experince, but it took me ages to realize that the table and the rom are two different elements.) I gotta say, while the quality of the recreations varies wildly, tables like Addams are very impressive: [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFuwe28ns90"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFuwe28ns90[/URL] Runs super smooth, and the physics feel very convincing - faster and harder than most TPA tables. TAF is one of the very few tables I actually played in real life, and from my memory this feels very authentic. The biggest thing, though, are the mechanical sounds in that specific table. The flippers have this heavy, loud OOMPH behind them, the bumpers rattle in a very satisfying way - it´s very hard to go back to TPA, where the flippers sound like they were made of cardboard and rubber bands and recorded at what sounds like 11khz.
