![]() It's a bit hazy but I think I found this through the Pro Pinball forum at been emailing Ade pre the launch and definitely doing cabinet support and 2 monitor outlet. I believe there is a workaround for the resolution limit for the DOS version of Timeshock, this has to do with using a modded Dosbox version if I remember correctly (the "HAL" version if memory serves me right), which let you allocate more video memory or something in that order. I'd like to get some information on how I could install these to my pinball computer in a way to enjoy them for years to come. It sounds like you have somehow found a great solution to these problems. A couple of years ago, I ran across a CD key-free installation of Time Shock, but was disappointed in the fact that it didn't come with any of the music. I bought all four of the pro pinball tables back as they came out years ago, and have been frustrated that I can't easily have them installed on a computer these days without disc swapping and what not. Actually XP had more issues running these tables than Vista or Win7, but even for XP there are patches that fix things up for those that need them. So if anybody needs anything in regardless to Pro Pinball or any questions, I probably can help.Įven though I have Windows 7 64bit, all the tables work perfectly, don't even need a compatibility mode. All 4 tables, windows versions with the latest patches & no cd patches, all my tables play the background music, I got all the documents, guides & PDF's for these games as well. But regardless, even at a scaled 1280x1024 resolution these games look amazing, its definitely MUCH better than not having them at all. One of the reasons I keep buying 16:10 monitors is so that I have the 1200x resolution height for games like Pro Pinball, VP, & FP. & I highly recommend playing them at 1600x1200 resolution like I do (The Web can only do 1024x) if you are able to, obviously the higher resolution looks great, & also no LCD scaling needs to be done which can muddy the game quality a bit, though there is no avoiding scaling if you are on a 16:9 monitor since there is no 1080x resolution. You don't own a real pinball machine? Well these tables are as close to the real game as you'll find. There is no excuse to not own them if you are a fan of pinball, since they are the best pinball sims in the history of the world. Otherwise I think the GOG versions of BRUSA & Fantastic Journey are OK, just not Timeshock. ![]() I would go on Amazon or Ebay & look for the full windows collection of all 4 games, or at least the newest 3. If anybody truly can't find the windows games for a reasonable price, PM me & I'll help you get them. I hold these tables in such high regard that I just couldn't bear knowing that people are playing VP/ FP versions of them instead of the real thing, it would drive me nuts!īecause these games are old & can be found really cheap (& make sure you don't get the DOS version of Timeshock that GOG sells, it isn't quite as good & it limits resolution to 1024x768, get the windows version, same with The Web but GOG doesn't sell that one for some reason). ![]() First off, there is no way a VP or FP version could compare to the real games. ![]() I say no, we should NOT recreate the Pro Pinball tables in VP or FP.
