    My honest, first opinion of the game was, "that playfield is really pretty, but man, it just looks so BORING!" You see, I'm a huge fan of ramps and habitrails in pinball. So when I saw this, it just didn't click with me. A lot of the SS classics get overlooked because of this. If you haven't already, give games like #centaur , #eight-ball-deluxe , and #skateball a try. I recently played #nine-ball for the first time and am obsessed with it.

    Tony is into pinball! I remember reading a interview with him in the 90s and they asked what he was into other than skating? His one word reply was “pinball”. Also in his recent documentary Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off he talks about getting his first credit card or pay cheque from Powell Peralta and the first thing he bought was a pinball machine! I also seen a short interview of him talking in his office and he has a Skateball in the corner. Be rad if they did this and executed it properly!!

    Bally Mutha Board won't go into soft dip settings (Repair Connection PCB) Post #23 in topic

    Posted 80 days ago by BigAl56 – in Tech: Early solid state ‐ Last reply 80 days ago

    Fixed. I installed my previous Power Play Proms. The board booted and I was able to advance beyond self test into the bookkeeping/audit settings. From inside there I reset everything to 0. Then I installed the Skateball Proms and was able to go into audits and advance through setting my score thresholds, replay, and sound settings. This probably worked because Power Play was a -17 game that didn't use those higher audits nor check them.

    Bugs in early solid state games Post #115 in topic

    Posted 82 days ago by Quench – in Tech: Early solid state ‐ Last reply 82 days ago

    Oh, that's not code, it's data. $09, $09, $09, $09, $09, $09, $00, $09 '99999909' Haven't checked what the first $09 on the right is for but the remainder leaves "9999990". The previous gen -35 OS has something like this where that data is used as a reference threshold score to test against if the player has rolled their score over. However Xenon, Skateball and Frontier which use this -40 OS do not reference that code at all... They instead jump out and handle it in the U2 game ROM.

    Did you check your unregulated 5v input voltage at the SD board TP-5? That should be around 13-14v DC. I'm working on my own Skateball with a similar problem. Measuring 13v at the rectifier board but no voltage at the TP5. That's most likely a bad connector or cold pin.

    What is the Best Solid State Bally and Best Solid State Stern ? Post #20 in topic

    Posted 176 days ago by swinks – in All Pinball ‐ Last reply 175 days ago

    thanks for that chimed in - EBD definitely comes up a bit, I had a Skateball years ago and didn't mind the shots and the theme reminded me of cruising the streets in the 80's. I have never played a SS Stern so definitely need to try and find some to play. Flash Gordon has always intrigued me as does Fathom but so expensive. Now I can zero in on some games to watch videos on, thanks for all your input

    Eight Ball deluxe - left sling energizes on startup and blows fuse Post #14 in topic

    Posted 181 days ago by Rikoshay – in Tech: Early solid state ‐ Last reply 173 days ago

    Yes you could put your Skateball SDB in Eight Ball and be ready when turning it ON to turn it OFF immediately if you hear/see the slingshot coil energise. But there is the slightest chance that Q6 on your Skateball SDB is bad also, unlikely but the chance is still possible.

The 3 sets for Skateball are already in the respective project box as is Flash Gordon. I have some Stern sets in there in case I wish to build Dragonfist or Stargazer.
