It's a flasher. I never knew there was anything special about it.

Quoted from weaverj:so i hate the alternating troll modes: smack-a-troll, troll madness, etc. specifically when a troll pops up during play and knocks a ball into the glass. can't stand it. regular trolls is fine, since when they go down, they stay down. i don't see anywhere in the settings where i can disable just those things. i don't really want to completely disable them either. any thoughts?
What?? A good glass hit is the best!
Stop worrying and love the THWACK!
Quoted from weaverj:i forgot it's 2017. i meant to say, i scare easily. another example: i disable/disconnect all my knockers.
I admit, at home the knocker is a little much. But the chance of an airball or glass hit causing a break is basically zero so you don't need to worry. Besides, it keeps you on your toes!
Quoted from dmieczko:Finally in the club after a long wait. Found a very nice original, and it's cleaning up incredibly well!
Congrats!

Quoted from Damien:One of my trolls is not registering hits at all. I took it apart tonight, reassembled, and no change unfortunately.
I have one of these extra trolls:

The connector is different though. It has a 3 pin, which I assume it for the remake.
Am I am to desolder the connectors, and then just solder the ones on from my broken troll?
Yep, should be the same part otherwise.

Quoted from lschmidlin:Just bought this 1997 Williams original. But I keep losing the balls. Is there supposed to be a part here?

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

I don’t remember there being any issues with the IPB playfields. Of course at the time it was live with what you got, touch up and clear, or get one of these... so who knows? Maybe they were just good by the standard of the moment.

Quoted from pacman11:If anyone is thinking about leaving the club I’ve got a Twilight Zone, Sopranos, and World Cup I would trade towards a MM. No not all of them.
You could probably sell the TZ and one of the others and easily have the cash for a NIB MMR?

Quoted from acidburn:On another note am I the only person that finds ‘Family Mode’ (Bad Language Bleeped) more funny
It’s always bleeped, I think family mode just takes out some of the more overtly suggestive princess comments. There is an uncensored rom out there but it’s not official.
Just get them from Cliffy at Passion for Pinball directly. Pam never updates the pinbits site anymore.

Quoted from jbovenzi:Ok, I am confused and look to Pinside for wisdom and guidance (with my flame underwear on),
Does Williams (original) Medieval Madness have a Midnight Madness mode or not?
I have seen contradictions on this, so asking here.
I can't find anything in the manual about it.
Thanks heaps!
I don’t know if anyone ever answered this for you, but no, no Midnight Madness in MM.

Quoted from sandro:BTW, I do know that everything in back box and most of the under playfield electronics are different. I’m just wondering how much that amounts to in terms of parts.
I’m sure anything is possible with enough time and money to apply but having had a OG MM and now a Remake, I think it would be a giant project with very little upside. Just sell your original and get a remake. They’re VERY different in how they work, you just end up with a similar result.

Quoted from Fieldsweeper:Is this for only original or remake or both?
Wondering what the difference is between all the versions.
Thanks
I don’t think this group cares. I have a remake LE and used to have an OG one and no ones asked me to scram, lol.
The original release was the LE, they made 1000 and what you got was choice of rails and legs color, shaker motor, numbered apron and a discount on the color chip, for the same price as the Standard, and the Standard which is basically a faithful remake of a WPC95 Medieval but all new. Even tho they look alike tho they run on totally different hardware.
Now they do a “Classic” which is basically the Standard but it has some updates, and the Special which comes with the XL color Display. RGB GI and upgraded sound.
Check the link for all the deets.

As for better well, if you like shiny things, the remakes with the XL display, RGB and topper are pretty slick. But if you just need the game they’re about the same, except ones old and ones newer and they both kick ass.
Okay, I can accept that but I gotta ask...what’s the difference? What are you possibly going to discuss that isn’t relevant? Unless you’re discussing wiring harnesses and the ins and outs of the WPC95 board set?
How funny a day ago I was saying how no one here was gonna be that way either, lol.

Quoted from mikehoss1414:IN!!!
Picked this up last week, but finally have it shopped out and led'd. I still need to remove the side art blades (sorry, don't like em and the left one is a bit worn/torn).
Does anyone have the red colored trolls in their machine, I'm considering doing one red, one green. Other than that, 2 spotlights on lower playfield and that will be it for mods.
Game is an absolute blast...never played it before bringing it home [quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Gorgeous. Congrats!

Quoted from Winslow3000:I get where you are coming from on an original vs. a remake. I have an RE, and I really miss the original voices and sounds. The RE is a great machine that I'll never sell, but not the same soul. I'd buy a copy of an original sound chip that works in the RE in a minute. The mod I am hoping for some day that I think will complete my package of the RE, Troll footlights and Color changing Ball Merlin, would be a "landing light strobe" activated when you launch the catapult.
- Scott
What do you mean original voices and sounds?
The RE runs original game code. They’re the exact same?

Quoted from whthrs166:I got my King Of Payne Topper to work interactively on My Williams Medieval Maddness. It has five circuits (right now). One GI circuit (red backround both sides) and four flasher circuits. The lightning flashers on the topper work when you hit castle. The left Topper Troll lights/flashes green when you use the left ramp and hit the left troll. The right Topper Troll lights green when you use the right ramp and hit the right Troll. The king glows/flashes blue when the medallion flashes. All of the topper flashers can flash at other times ( like when you smash the castle wall or destroy the castle) and their patterns change.
I know it’s like two months later, but that’s awesome!

Quoted from Pinminister:Does anyone have a new shaker motor for an original Medieval Madness they would be interested in selling.
I believe the part number for this was A-19169-MM.
If so, let me know.
Thanks.
That’s a Marco part number it looks like. MM doesn’t have a factory shaker so this probably includes some kind of harness that runs it when the castle flashers go off. My buddy has one on his AFM and it’s cool but limited in its integration.
