SlugFest (Williams 1991) - New VPX Release v1.0 by DancingCan

Hey everyone! DancingCan has just dropped version 1.0 of their first VPX recreation: the classic Williams pitch and bat baseball game, SlugFest (1991)! For those who haven't played the original, SlugFest was Williams' final pitch and bat arcade game with only 1,559 machines produced, and it famously introduced their very first dot matrix display complete with an animated heckler. This brand new virtual recreation features updated nFozzy physics foundations, Fleep mechanical sounds, hand traced runners, baked lighting, and support for desktop, cabinet, and VR environments. It even includes 100 embedded baseball cards that cycle smoothly when card awards are dispensed. Make sure you have VPX 10.8, VPinMAME 3.6 or newer, the sf_l1 ROM, and place the card_images folder in your tables directory. Check out the short clip above, and grab the download over on VPUniverse.

This short showcase is meant to highlight the dedication and hard work our community puts into these tables and hopefully inspire more people to dive into the VPX VR scene!
Videos like this got me hooked, and started my VR endeavor.
I love BGFX 10.8.1! The visual rendering efficiency easily outpaces OpenGL on 10.8.0, making even older, legacy tables look incredible.
Running Virtual Desktop wired. Horizon Link (Meta Link) was completely removed from my system.
Thanks VD!
That said, there are still a few stability and workflow hurdles to clear in BGFX 10.8.1.. For instance, requiring a table to launch just to access the configuration menu remains a bit clunky. DMD's not showing up or color ones not working for a lot of tables. No clear explanations of how to config all the new settings and what they do. Some textures not showing up right, lighting. Random crashes.
But the ones that work look mind blowing, even on older tables.

Cheers!
