Atari pinballs in Visual Pinball/ PinMAME

[kristian]

For people who aren't aware of PinMAME... it's the pinball machine emulator which emulates the ROMs of the real pinball

machines. Visual Pinball is a simulator which makes playing the "real machine" possible. The program and the tables are

100% freeware.

 

Since emulated Baby Pacman drew some interest here, I thought I'd shamelessly promote the Atari pinballs on VP here...

since they might interest the Atari collectors. Here are the screenshots:

Think maybe someday PinMAME will come to XBox???

Wow! Those look really well done

Don't count on it. You need a high res display for the tables to look good, and you need more processing grunt than the Xbox has for VPinball and PinMAME to be running.

Played the Superman pinball game on Visual Pinball, and its sound effects are identical to those of Williams' Defender.

You're most likely playing the VP-only version of Superman where the sounds are fabricated. I recall the original author

didn't have access to the original Atari sounds when the initial version came out. Check the PinMAME version for accurate

sounds.

 

PS: "vp-only" means that the recreated table doesn't have any ROM emulation involved.

This year I assisted in a complete rebuild of a Superman. You know, for a game that gets a crappy rep, it's a pretty damn good early SS game. I've seen two on location in the last year, too... one in RI and one in NH.

Shouldn't the Hercules one have a bigger screen?

 

j/k. Yeah I think I got all those on one of my computers with pinmame on it.. although I haven't updated it in about 8 months or something. I'll get to updating it eventually though as I always do.
