Tales of the Arabian Nights
Williams, 1996Quoted from pinballwil:Hahaha.... No final battle is ready to start.
Did I missed something?. Once you beat the skeleton battle, the final battle start by itself launching multiball. If it was before the skeleton, you should have all the tales lamps blinking. which version ate you using for your test? The score display doesn’t seem right anyhow.

I have no inserts conected yet, only flashers.
Quoted from noitbe1:look forward for the video then once done.
Have to finish the orbs, inserts and check some things.
When ready ill ask my wife to film so i can play.
Had a event error.
Harem multibal wouldn't start.
So i removed the cyclops kickout and added a extra subway. I moved the outhole between the jets.
I redesigned the genie to get more magnet power.
I also moved the genie more back between the posts.
Now every thing works. In my versionand you can play for harem multiball instead of a lucky mode start.
I am working on the last lamps today.

Lamps are working now.
Outhole between de jets also ready, just like the orbs.
still some tweaking (airball) Some extra posts (genie and right outlane. right opto outlane not working, genie eyes and leds for genie treasure chest. And 2 new different switch needed. Small things that can make or break your gameplay.
When ready ill be back one more time with a gameplay video.
For now thanks to all of you who followed this tread.
This wil be one off my last postings till the gameplay video.
Can anyone tell me the difference between a
20-10197 and a 20-9247 magnet i want to know if there is some power difference.
Its not perfect yet but its fun to play already.
If you think its to long start halfway.
That part is most interesting.
Enjoy and don't forget to vote for best homebrew of the year if you like it.
Maybe ill be "Back To (in) The Future" goodbye for now and stay safe.

Aside the fact that the Totan, this project is the greatest I’ve seen for a while.
It would be great that a company would grab this, and make a remake of your version.
The game is still way too easy though. The tiger loop seems even easier here than the original because the side loops are not that easy to get and are limited in time on the original. The consequence is it gives you extra ball easily. You could change that in the settings and make the game harder.
Also...
I love your captive ball. You should patent this. Did you use only one switch then to make it work? On the original game, both switches does the same but I have change that on my version.
Are the opto cage use at all already? I don’t remember.
What happened with the skill shot switches?
I love the 3rd flipper and the loop. The flaw of your version is amazing too.
Only thing is: the smoke lamp show and and bazaar lamp show seems a bit strange, I wonder if it could come from the led itself.
Last thing last.... this pin deserve a better sofware ! 
I would love to try your pin one day. Maybe in a pinball event sometimes....
You’re a pinball master. Congrats for your impressive work. Look forward to see more of this.

Thanks, yes your right de extra ball is to easy i will ajust this.
The captive bal use only one switch in my version and it is sort of copy from Stern JP. De optos from the cage are in the outlane, when drain je get a new ball but the right side doesn't work they are broken.
So thats why you don't see them work.
The first two skilshot switches are under the plastic playfield (eddy switch) and the last(number one) is the gate so its reversed but follow the animation.
When complete ready i will make a better video higher res from the top.
I replace the lock magnet for a upost because it fits my version better and make same adjustments here and there.
And replace the shooter and tip(softer and shorter.
And better switch.
Defeat the Genie is almost impossible so i will add a symbol target on the playfield that you can hit occasionally in the final battle.

So are you are not using the outlane swith then? On the original it was one swith for 2 buttons. It activates the ball save and I assume you used the opto cage instead.
Please show the skill shot mechanism on the next video, I didn’t catch how it worked.
I assume you have only one magnet left.
Last thing, the « leftwiremake » switch was used on the ramp. Its only purpose was to check that the ramp magnet was working properly, did you use this one? Just curious.

In the outlane it first triggers the cage opto, then when hit the outlane switch and the ball drains you get a new one. If you triger the opto and the ball bounce back nothing happens.
For now i still use the lock magnet and the vanish magnet but not the third ramp magnet and ramp switch. Next week i swap the lock magnet for a uppost because sometimes the bal goes to fast for the lock.By the way.... both outlanes have there own opto and switch in the matrix, just like the original.
Final gameplay video.
Enjoy and goodbye.

I'll be back later.
Added over 4 years ago:With a new video.

INCREDIBLE! I must say, I love my TOTAN and wouldn't change it or ever sell it, but I think you did an incredible job with this. In a game room you could put this Aladdin beside a TOTAN and they would compliment each other more than they'd be a redundancy. Great work!!!
I am back, i needed a break from pinball.
For who want to know more about me and my machines.
https://www.thisweekinpinball.com/home-brew-pinball-aladdin/
Changed a lot of small things, and moved the lamp and added a cyclops.
I'am working on a new better video.
IMG_20200731_185311 (resized).jpgAs promised a gameplay video from the final machine build.
Its now 100% finished.
I didn't rescue the princess but nevertheless, i hope you like it.

Wow! Impressive. TOTAN was already a very cool game, but you added some features that truly knocks it out of the park. I love it.

Dude. I've never been a fan of TOTAN and rarely if ever have I seen a retheme done worth a crap but THIS is a true GEM! Congratulations! Not only is that so incredibly well done but BETTER than TOTAN.

oh wow, wat a lot of positive words from everybody.
Thanks.
Quoted from Rensh:Looks great will
Should come over once and bring my streaming gear for a proper video
Rensh........ YES that would be a great idea.
My room is 4x3 enough for 2 people to stream and have enough covid distance.
Digital DPO?.
We had some conversation Rensh and i to make a pinball stream.
We have no date yet but when ready Rensh wil let you know.
Don't wait for it, i can take a few months.
Quoted from zaza:Stunning work, mr. Wil
The graphics, layout and whole build looks all perfect ! :deep bow:
Thanks, Its not perfect.
But i'am very satisfied.
Quoted from Phantasize:Looks great! But it also looks like a hard shot to make?
Yes it is, its fits better upfront more inline with the flipper because it need alot of flipper power.
But it looks great when the ball launches true it.
Forgot to mention this. I'm on Twip for who haven't seen this already. https://www.thisweekinpinball.com/home-brew-pinball-aladdin/
Last Thursday I found a note when coming home that a package was delivered at the neighbours. Wondering what as I did not have anything ordered not yet delivered it turned out to weight 17.48 kg (2 stone 10½ lbs). As Wil his wife is a professional in graphics and you want to show your new homebrew game, why not design a flyer too. Two days of work and this is the result:
Also had a chance to play two games on the machine of which the playfield and backglass currently sits in the cabinet used for Wil's Medieval Castle. Once again a familiar game but where is that shot I have to make?

Thanks Ad,
The surprise is gone now 
But now everybody knows every 1250 members from the Dutch pinball association gets it with the december club magazine.
And I make only one machine from every design. So the Flyer makes it very special to collect.
Quoted from russdx:Another artist who should be working on the CPR retheme kits
Thanks but No thanks.
Quoted from WarLokBlackOut:No worries Wil.
Only 1,150 members of the club are on this forum and only every now and then.
YEAH..... AND ONLY ONE MACHINE FOR SALE.

How can I get one?
Quoted from mollyspub:How can I get one?
I only make one, so it's already sold out sort of.
Quoted from pinballwil:I only make one, so it's already sold out sort of.
I think he refers to the flyer Will, not the pinball itself.
