rule is to read page books on screen by targetting genie or 3 standups
- then either no genie, one or 2 apears on screen. Need to target the genie(s) from the book to move forward on the sequence by either hitting the left or right loop with the left of right captive ball (depends on genie position on screen).
If 2 genies appear, then there is a change to get a special reward if both genie are killed and that 3 times but... if the genie switch is hit again, the new pages apears and then it needs to bit start over for this.

Notice that the make a wish with ruby does’nt give nessary an advance tale. It’s one bonus among other and no more advance tale in regular make a wish in TM.

Thanks

done with Sinbad. Here are the new challenges for the player:

video to follow. Since it's like winter here and my TOTAN is in my garage, the post was a bit cold so I had to make the video by hand (cheating a bit) to reach the bumpers. Player this time needs to activate the loop diverter before reaching the bumpers.

Thanks. Still some bugs to correct. A lot of cleaning have been made with previous tales.
This tales misses some sounds too that i was still thinking of: monster attack for instance.
If not done by hand i think this mode will be a bit tricky to achieved till the end but that’s the idea.

Like the other tales: if monsters attack too often the tale is over.

It’s freezing here (Paris)...
My wife hates pinball and doesn’t want any in the house. I’m not lucky like you guys...

Thanks for this comment.
I’m using all the quotes from the original rom and sounds. For Scheherazade i need to check because yes it doesn’t sound right. Thanks for that.
Creating animations and video is really hard and time consuming. You basically have to draw each frame yourself. I would say 70/80% of the work so it’s huge. P-ROC is just a board. You have to define with code what will be display, the framerates and so on... the hardest part by far in my opinion.

The truth is: the finale is a melt of the good genie voices, the princess which can be scared.... or not. She changes her feeling for instance when she say ‘amazing’ with her tone: it doesn’t sound right. Anyway we only hear that during the finale so I woulnd’t see that it’s a big deal for the game. I’ve planed to change the real finale with something else more fun. On the other side I think the voice acting for this pin, along with its original music was one of the greatest of all the pin. Just listen to modern stern to compare but it’s just again my opinion.

I was sure that someone will point this out at some point! Thanks for that.
Yes and I think I know how to do it since it has been done the same way on 2 other projects: indy and ccc.
I don’t have a color dmd and i prefered the original look of the game and the DMD dot display but i like coding so it would be fun for that. But not my taste.
I’m old fashoned: pins reminds me old times when i was at school so i like the vintage way of it

PS: not a big fan of color look dmd colors for the totan (comparing with other pins) if CGC do a remake one day, it should have a better resolution as it was done for MB remake

LCD. i didn’t spent too much time digging. No offense for the color dmd.

It would be an honor and I hope one day it should be redone with it. Enthousiasm is also a motor for me and this project. I mean by that is that you need motivation too for this kind of adventure.

My plan is to finish this one and I will. I have already the 7 new tales but i ve planed to even improved them with new sounds and lightning effects, ajust/balance the rules and score. Next will be new fireballs, lightning lamp and hidden mode I ll share later. New multiballs,finale and so on. I really want to add contents to it for the player get the impressions that all the games will be different for each time and hidden stuff could be discovered times to times as long as fun stuff which code allows you to do. Also, I d like new contents to belong with the arabian nights spirit and the pin spirit as it was coded and not just add stuff with no real purpose: that’s my vision for this extension. Coding this is a lot of fun but take a lot of times.

thanks for your interest.
I don't plan to include this kind of choice even if it's possible. This project is a 2.0 so it's the original + an extension so the original is already included.
For me, it's like: you're running the 1.4 but you still need the 1.0 somewhere...

The thing I changed in the original software was: bug corrections, misspell, advance tale... No idea for the kit yet since I didn't spend time on this and still focusing on the code.

real jobs, kids and holidays didn't help for this project.

I've improved, debug the tales correct things and so on...

I'm working on the new fireball. I'd guess its 80% complete.

My plan for this new fireball is to create a set of 3 different sequences of fireballs: the old fireball is fireball 1, and fireball 2 and 3 are new. Once all 3 will be completed a new set of fireball can be acheived.

The idea is to create a new champ too for this (nb of set acheived). I'll share a new video once it will be completed..

quick update:
in my P-ROC project: the serial pin number is hard coded. I though it was cool to keep it. It's possible to edit it in the code as long as the new revision 2.0. See picture. (same as "test report")

I'm in touch with Gerry (Multimorphic) to get a new updated firmware for the P-ROC which could improve (a lot) the GI effects (only for WPC). I'll share videos if I could get it for the new sequences or demonstratons. I can't wait, thanks Gerry!

new fireball is done. It's currently really cold here so I'll share a video when it will be warmer

I'll start working on new sequence for the lightning lamp: same idea as fireball, 2 new lightning lamps sequences specific to the 2.0 to have 3 in total.

Last thing: there will be a second possibility to activate the 2nd quest with the new tales with the "make a wish" with the ruby. However it will be hard to get... but still.

forgot to mention: to be honest I was not a big fan of the fireball sequence which occurs way too often during gameplay.
To change that, I have increase the number of hits to launch it to make it more desirable...

The fact that fireball 2 and 3 are different may give some variety gameplaywise.

So during gameplay, getting the fireball set (3 of them) will be much harder to get and I'll track the total bonus and the number of set won within the champ (tracking mode)

Also, I don't plan to include bonus amount to be change inside the setting. I want to reduce the setting possibility for the gameplay because I don't see the point to set too many things for a game unlike it was originaly.

2 new lightning modes has been coded. That's make 11 new modes total for now. I've planned also to add new bonus for "make a wish" to make it more disirable.
I'll try to share video of those new sequences (fireballs too). The new rules could be guessed on it.

- next step will be the super genie multiball and maybe another multiball (needs to think of it).

here comes the new fireball:

quick video to follow. Sorry the sound is not great (plugged to a small speaker..)

fireball 2:

fireball 3:

and... new lightning lamp sequence. There is a new gameplay but easy to figure out on the screen...

Lightning lamp 2 and 3 have differences though.(gameplaywise)

lightning lamp 2:

and... lightning lamp 3:

...as always, still some things I'll need to fix but wanted to share anyway.

Thanks for your comment. Next is a new multiball. I’ll be harder and more fun (for me at least) than the original with more things to do. Good multiball add a lot of fun and interest too.

I forgot to mention: the mask animation visible in lightning lamp comes from the Vizier in the « golden voyage of Sinbad ». One of the best old movie of Sinbad.
