Top monthly review content as always Ed. Sincerely appreciated. 😎

[@digitalvictory8266]

Hi Gary, glad you enjoyed it!! Have you tried any of the tables yet?

[@garypauljohnson9884]

@@digitalvictory8266 Sore point there Ed. Not tech minded re VP but am waiting since August for my friend to upgrade me to 64-bit. Know anyone out there who can do it for me remotely? (For a fee obviously). Wanting so much to play Die Hard Trilogy.....Daniel Craig all the way, especially as he was laughed at so much here in England when they chose him. How so wrong they were. Thanks again

Awesome job with the video (as usual)! I so look forward to your monthly reviews. I was on top of this months list and already had all of them downloaded for a change, now I just need to add them to my VP machine. Keep up the great work and thanks again.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Thank you so much for the kind comments! Really appreciate you watching!

[@thuanphuong8447]

Huge fan from Australia of your monthly table reviews…I’ve based many of my table downloads from your videos and appreciate the effort you make to include the links to them. Looking forward to Oct 2024 review.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Thanks so much, dude! I really appreciate you watching and I'm happy you enjoy the channel!

[@RastanPinball]

It’s been a great month for sure. Wizball’s Futurama and Secret Agent really blew me away. I over looked the Willy Wonka update. Amazing presentation and video as always, thanks!

[@digitalvictory8266]

Hey, thanks buddy!! And yeah, those are all bangers! What a month!

[@CoffeeAtJoes]

Oh mama... American Graffiti is so good. Been lovin' it on VPX GL.

[@Pre-Expatriate]

Thanks so much for making these!!!!

[@digitalvictory8266]

You're welcome! Thank YOU for watching!

[@alho9231]

Another great roundup Ed! 👍 I'm not an EM fan but boy does American Graffiti look a beaut especially as AG is one of my all-time favourite movies. Can't wait till I get my hands on it to hear Wolfman Jack come out of my ALP!

[@digitalvictory8266]

Yeah man, that brought a big smile to my face when I heard that!!! 😁

[@bietekwiet2812]

Great roundup! Thanks for the excellent video!

[@hitxmark404]

The Pierce B. 007 movies are my personal favorites :) Probably the time period I grew up. They're all great though!

[@digitalvictory8266]

Yes! I remember when he was announced, everybody was like, "Oh yeah, he's gonna be good!" and he was. He was very good.

[@hitxmark404]

Hey Digital Victory! It's been a while since I've visited your amazing channel. Looks like you upgraded to the 4KP! Aside from the flipper lag on the zen tables which was recently fixed, I love the 4KP so much more then the Legends HD. Hope you are enjoying it as well. God bless you brother! Thanks for everything you do.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Good to see ya back, Hitxmark! Yeah, I gotta admit, I held off as long as I did, but the 4K leap up was real! I'm loving it! Not even the 4K resolution so much, Just the whole build quality and upgrade in UI, size and haptics/ssf. It's wonderful. Thanks for watching bud!

[@Tiger_Of_Old]

THANKS for the update DV! PS love Daniel Craig's Bond! 👍

[@digitalvictory8266]

Thanks watching Tiger - appreciate it! And yeah, Craig was an excellent Bond!

Wow. More tables to hit my budget. Love em

[@martyhaury7202]

Thank you for your videos of the month I really appreciate it and thank you for your sympathy for my tables see you soon marty02 my next table will be a super hero ??🤫

[@digitalvictory8266]

Hi Marty! No sympathy man, this is legitimate appreciate for your talents! Thank you for all you do! Appreciate you watching!

[@mitchelwb]

just a pedantic note: Skateball is not electromechanical. It's solid-state, not EM.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Gah!! You're right!! My bad! Good catch there, Mitch!

[@WIDERisBETTER]

@mitchelwb What's the difference in the 2?

[@mitchelwb]

​@@WIDERisBETTERsolid state is transistor driven. Or you could say digital or computer driven. Electro-mechanical is relay logic. Typically, EM machines will have chimes and score reels. SS machines have score displays. There are machines from the late 70's early 80's that will blur the lines as the industry went through the growing pains of the changeover, but skateball is def SS.

[@Flatstick]

@@WIDERisBETTERin addition to the excellent explanation by Mitchell, another way to think about it is that Solid State tables will always have some sort of electronic "brain", a CPU, IC circuits etc... that do all the thinking, in terms of applying scores based on triggered playfield components, awarding extra balls, jackpots etc. Telling what lights to light up. An Electro Mechanical is exactly as it sounds. No CPU, no ICs, everything underneath the playfield and in the back box is made of mechanical components moving around by applying voltage and current. Scores are tracked and determined by complex mechanical reels etc. It's why an EM scoreboard has separate reels for each number, and why when you start a game it has to go through a process of rolling all the numbers to zero before you get your ball. That's all a mechanical process happening. It's also why Pinball machine bodies are as large as they are. They needed all that room to fit all the machinery in. Also, one very easy way to tell the difference visually, is that if you see a scoreboard that is digital, it's a solid state table. EMs as far as I know will always have reel-based scores.

[@byronfollowell4243]

Another great month and another awesome Digital Victory roundup video. Thanks for another awesome video Ed. I see Short Circuit mentioned in the video breakdown, but there's no link and I don't recall seeing it anywhere in the video. Did I just miss that one?

[@digitalvictory8266]

OH man!! I forgot to take that off the list! I actually had that and two other tables planned to go on the list. But they were culled for different reasons. On Short Circuit I kept losing my backglass. Normally I'd seek help and work through it, but ran to my deadline and had to cut it. Such is the life, man. People have no idea how taxing it can be to download, install, configure, sometimes fight to make work, all the tables I show. LOLOL (that's not counting the video work of the playthrough, the table highlights, and editing it all for the vid). Not complaining, just telling you about the process and time involved. That said, it was a really fun table and I'd still recommend it! 👍

[@byronfollowell4243]

@@digitalvictory8266 cool, I’ll check that one out too. Thanks again for the awesome roundup video. I always look forward to them every month!

[@WIDERisBETTER]

​@@digitalvictory8266what sucked about short circuit it's that for me it requires 10.8 otherwise the flippers are static and don't move. They work, just are static.

[@764bastien]

What kind of led bar you have on your back box? ,look nice.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Yeah, they're slick, right? I did a little video about them here. There's a link to buy them in my description. It's my Amazon affiliate link, so if you wanna try 'em, please get them there. Same price for you, and you help the channel! kzbin.infoQKf9IAth1gA?si=SyvNWPoDaJowD_Xr

You gotta read Mike Mignola's Hell Boy run. It's a top tier comic for sure.

[@dbarge761]

Is that Metallica game VPP workshop or is it VPX and if so, what actual version is it?

[@digitalvictory8266]

Hi! Thanks so much for watching!! The Metallica table was CREATED by V-Pin Workshop (VPW) for play on VPX. The link to download it is here: kzbin.info?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbTAycGx3TkpoZmNMN1h5N0d5eTFWbTNtQ09pZ3xBQ3Jtc0ttVmlYN2NLdzlwbjNkTzZUTzdCR2UzUTNrYUtGVTdrM2IyUHA4SllpSXVtdWxPTGhfWUNNdl9yS3FaZ0xNVVhhNDk2NUFQYVNRQlNaYUc0SmRRSm42dE5idWI2aU92S2FLZjVGNURaeG5qVUFWMWJUdw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fvpuniverse.com%2Ffiles%2Ffile%2F6058-metallica-premium-monsters-stern-2013-vpw-mod%2F&v=Xr7w_-BDefc

[@ingoindigne8888]

My favorite James Bond actor is Roger Moore

[@digitalvictory8266]

Yeah, he was great too. And some REALLY good Bond movies with him! (Live and Let Die). He's DEFINITELY an easy 2nd or 3rd for me. Was right in my era. As cool as Sean Connery was, he was just a little before my time watching Bond.

[@WIDERisBETTER]

Where did you get a fmd frame for Secret Agent? Ths download and the B2S jist came with a backglass not a DMD frame. I've got the large lower DMD like uou so am always having to search for those

[@digitalvictory8266]

I just searched VPUniverse under "Secret Agent" and scrolled down until I saw the full DMD backglass. 👍

[@WIDERisBETTER]

​@@digitalvictory8266 thanks man, at the time I got mine there was inly the 2 and 3 screen one, no full dmd. I even checked today and never saw it and wasn't on the VP spreadsheet site which was weird. But found it with your link so I'll snag it tomorrow! For those with a Full DMD we need that gap filled!

[@DirtyxLarry]

That Willy Wonka table looks incredible. Can't wait to try it in VR.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Thanks Larry - appreciate you watching, buddy! And yeah, I agree, that WW table is 🔥🔥🔥

[@kwij01]

I'm new to this whole vpin thing, and just getting set up. Loving it so far. I'm lost on the whole rom thing though - I followed the link to the Metallia download, and it VPX says I need a rom. I cant find it anyhere!

[@digitalvictory8266]

Hi Kwij01! Thanks so much for watching first of all - I really appreciate it! Now - about that ROM. It really IS a tough one to track down. I think I had to get it directly from the Stern Website. Here's a link right here buddy! drive.google.com/file/d/17M45yN0v7VDDTOMPtUZXNjzOeU3UTLq4/view?usp=sharing

[@Nand8891]

I remember playing Street Fighter with my son!

[@digitalvictory8266]

YES!! Wonderful memories!!

[@joeybeaulieu8123]

you need to play futurama in 10.8 and change the view from legacy to windowed mode, to get a much better POV. as you are playing it right now everything is top down. trust me and check windowed mode. you might need to learn how to rotate the screen and size it properly once you turn window mode on. but once you set it you wont believe you eyes. Oh and yes secret agent is totally make believe theme, strickly from the mind of wizzball.

[@digitalvictory8266]

😲😲😲 OOh! I will definitely try that! Thank you! (Keep an eye out here, because I'll get back to you on it!)

[@bietekwiet2812]

While changing to 'Window' mode, I suggest also to get into anaglyph 3D with "Aviator Anachrome red/cyan" 3D glasses (that specific model) and you won't believe what you see 👍

[@lorenmorgan1931]

​@bietekwiet2812 that's the only way I play vpx. Just make sure you get a good set of anaglyph glasses that do not cross talk too much. Legit is like looking into it for real table. And unfortunately only a handful of us use it. I think the real issue, is that people don't actually know about it, on understand what it does. The average user experiences at once and never want to play with any other way ever again 😂

[@764bastien]

Do you have to pay for those game?

[@digitalvictory8266]

No, Sir. Please check the video description - I have links to all of them! 👍

[@scottj.7639]

Hey Ed does the OTG out of the box really look that good on the 4KP on did you have to make any color/video adjustments on your PC first? Thanks for the videos!

[@digitalvictory8266]

The Legends 4K (and even the HD) look great. I've always thought they had excellent image quality. That said, I DO produce KZbin videos, and do what I can to make my videos pop (contrast, saturation, etc). Hell, even cameras nowdays do that "out of the box" when you video with them.

[@MathewTucker]

I love the info! I have one massive question, how are your tables so bright!?! I look at the screenshots for willy Wonka you've referenced, put it on mine, and the vibrance and brightness is just NOT THERE!

[@digitalvictory8266]

I think the screen on my old HD machine, and especially in my 4K machine are really colorful themselves. But also - remember, I run a KZbin channel, and all my videos are produced in Adobe Premier. I always strive to make the visual pop, and during the video production in Premier, I always give some punch to the saturation, contrast and black level. I should probably put something in the description about that - I'm not trying to deceive anybody, just want striking videos.

[@MathewTucker]

@@digitalvictory8266 I should have thought that through! Makes sense! I will say the videos look fantastic, so you're doing that part right~ I do really wish there was some more universal lightening techniques or tricks discussed. I watch and ask a lot of people and I feel like I don't have this one part of it down. My monitor is amazing and I know its not that as other media looks phenomenal on it! Thank you for the reply!!

[@JonathanAbdilla-c2m]

A great month indeed. Not really sure which table impressed me most. Hellboy and street fighter look amazing though

Hey DV! When do you think we’ll see a VPIN version of the new UNCANNY XMEN?

[@digitalvictory8266]

I'm actually not familiar with that table. If it's fairly new, we may yet still have to wait a while. It's my understanding (and I encourage others that know more than me about this chime in) that there is a tacit agreement that Virtual Pinball creators shy away from newer tables, and the real manufacturers tend to look the other way when older tables are created. It's a dicey area and I'm no expect (not sure anybody is) - but obviously, spot on versions are new tables are verboten.
