Can you elaborate what that means and how to do it?

Every mode displays a circle in the upper left corner of the display. The circle then has “petals”, which remind you of a flower. Each lit shot you successfully hit will in turn light one of the petals. The goal is to light all petals in the flower.

Too long to list for me, EOTL, VALINOR, Iron Throne, etc, yes.

The rules feel just right imo. Not every game has to be a headbanger in frustration, some games can be just fun. If it's too easy, remove the outlane posts.

I always refered to it as a pie.... But I'm not the healthiest guy out there

What's your custom message?

I don't wanna miss a thing

" Pinball, the most fun you can have with your clothes on."

I want to walk this way.

Tonight Jackie said " I have sweet emotions for Silky Jones." That is another new call out.

That sly dog. Jackie will get your girl.

When I was in the service that would have been Jodi.

Think I’ve sorted this issue, the connectors into the 3 opto boards in the toy box seemed a little loose so took it apart, reconnected and not had the issue since.

Any good apron cards anyone can point me to? Thanks!

Well that didn't take long to get stuck....

Also, my update is 4782mb.... Everyone else I've seen is under 3000.

Confused.

Attempt #2 has begun.

That 2914 is just the first step. You are stuck on the second step. Total update is the two steps added together.

Mine was tiny like 237 then straight to 4782.

It worked on second attempt and verify flew through very quickly.

Game is working, but couldn't play as wife had just put baby to sleep.

Will get on it tonight I hope

Finally played new code. What a huge difference.

Put up a grand champ on game 2 (yes, I know they're reset but check the pic)

Then immediately after pulled off this sweet score.

Y'all are jealous..... I know

That's about what I did on my 2nd game on new code. Plus combo champ of 21. Just got Melody MB yesterday for the very first time. That was a blast, only wished I could have made the shots. I kept the ball in play but kept missing. I was trying to hard. Needed to chill. That would have been a plus. The next half dozen games after that I couldn't score no better than 10 mill. I tried today to make it back to Medley MB, no luck. Try again tomorrow

I think I put up 25 combos in the 500mil run

Took me two attempts to successfully update code, but it was worth it. It's nice to see the custom message working now. Awesome and incredibly comprehensive update.

Having some trouble with two balls kicking out at once from the trough (has nothing to do with code update). The game self-corrects eventually, but any ideas on what could be causing this problem?

Your balls might be magnatized.

Ah yes--the simplest solution might be the best. I will replace them. They are over 1,000 games old now, so you're probably right. Thanks!

Please let us know if that fixes your problem. Is it me or does it seem like theres more magnet action since the code update?

I swear this fcker plays faster, louder, brighter & better now since the update.

Purdy sure the readme mentions enhancements to sound & lighting. Wonder if the coils were cranked up because I spell AEROSMITH a lot now via the slings & now that you mention it the magnet action is awarding me toy box locks more often than before (I think)

The lighting has some improvements for sure but i gotta say that i dont like how the lights go completely out at times because it makes me lose track of the ball too easily because i always play with the lights out.

This used to happen to me a ton.

First I replaced the balls and reseated the trough connections... but that didn’t work for me.

But then I noticed that the ball was taking too long to kick out of the trough and get settled on the shooter lane switch. The game thought it was unsuccessful at kicking a ball out and would try again. But then I would end up with two balls.

I ended up solving the issue by using some vicegrip pliers to gently bend down the little piece ar the top of the trough that guides the ball into the shooter lane. By bending that (a little more than it’s already bent) the ball gets to the shooter lane faster and without bobbling around. So now the game doesn’t have the desire to shoot another ball up.

The new code really boosted this pin in a big way. Old code was eh, while it wasn’t terrible and pretty complete, it didn’t make you want to play it over and over, it got old fast. Now, it has definitely got that one more game feel to it. It’s a beautiful pin that’s a pure shooter.

I do it in the dark too. So when the light go out I'm keeping the flippers moving until I can see again.

I think I hade all super targets lit today and had a great light show plus the sound was like electrical shock sound something I don't remember hearing.

Caught mistake that the code allowed. Locked 3 balls in toy box to go for the fourth. My daughter up next hit the lock for her 3 ball multi ball took the award and ejected her ball into box and it then unloaded the balls giving her total of 4. The way to correct this would be to minimize the power of ejected ball and issue the other 2 from the shooter lane leaving my 3 in the toy box. Ok STERN there is your assignment.

Thanks for the tip. I had previously done some bending of the ball guide area and shooter rod adjustment because of some rubbing against the autoplunger, so we'll see if that's playing into the issue as well after I replace the balls.

This wouldn't work. The toy box is used in Toys in the Attic multiball. You can lock balls for multipliers.

As long as it's not a tournament, I like the idea of stealing locks in multiplayer games.

My Elevator kick out still pretty much goes SDTM. I have raised the power in the menu (pretty sure I did it right) but it hasn't seemed to change. Any advice?

Agreed. Plus I think the game keeps count & doesn’t launch a replacement after the first drain of a MB even if the ball save timer is on because it’s righting the wrong from the MB overage.

I think. Or it did, in some cases (elevator MB for example)

Speaking of Toy Box multiball and love in an elevator multiball, you want to load up the toy box with 5 Ball first, be careful not to get the 6th. Grab a mode if you can, but have elevator ready to go, then hit Elevator. You’ll get the toy box to unload for elevator instead of 3 ball, plus when it’s over you’ll still get the 6 ball toys multiball from the trough/shooter lane.

Is this a bug? I've never heard this.

Not a bug; no way to fix it unless you set your game to virtual locks. There’s 5 balls in toy box, game needs 3 for elevator multiball, 1 ball in elevator scoop, 0 in ball trough; end result = dump the toy box to get the balls. The drawback is that when a ball drains it doesn’t kick it back into play until there are 3 balls in play so you really won’t get 6 ball elevator multiball for very long, but it’s fun trying

Side note. How accurate is your guys’ VUK to toy box? Mines pretty inaccurate, probably 50-70% success rate; I’ve played with power settings and it seems inconsistent, at the same power sometimes it launches the ball high over the toy box lid and other times it’s short, and other times far left. I haven’t really troubleshoot the issue yet but I presume the ball isn’t sitting right in the VUK, might just be a pitch or level adjustment, but wanted to get some opinions before I dig into it.

Interesting...didn't really ever think about it.

SKB

The software monitors every Toybox miss & makes incremental changes to the coil power until finding its best setting.

I think you're better off defaulting the coil settings & then playing a few dozen games.

Unless you've already done that.

OK good to know. I'll give that a shot, i only had like 5 games in on the new code and have been changing power settings every 5 games. Probably have 20 games in total. I'll stick it on default and let it sit for a week or 2.

My toy box shot is far less accurate now than it was before the update.

Mine as well.

Try setting your power setting at 196 for the upper right eject hole. That is where I set mine and only misses occasionally. However it will miss the first shot when you begin playing and this seems to be common. After that mine is very accurate.

I heard that also. But every time I turn on the pin it seems to take 5 to 10 games to tweak itself in. Wish it could save it's dialed in setting, or show what it is so that we can change the startup default to that.

Glad mines not the only one

Premium and LE owners:
What do you think still needs to be added to the upper playfield code wise? I feel like there is so much potential with the diviter on the ramp loop around, elevator drop shot, and RGB leds for all the insert lights.

My toy box is probably 90% miss on the first try, then 90% hit on all other tries. No idea why it doesn’t kick hard enough on the first one.
