They'll let him keep it for sure, in classic stern fashion too.....with an invoice saying he owes an additional $9500 for having the first and only PROmium SLE Aerosmith

I kid of course, but wouldn't be surprised.

I would just ask your distributor to let you keep it for no additional cost. It's sterns mistake; not his, not yours.

lol congrats!

So I haven't followed AS in a couple months. Have their been any code updates or hints of any code updates coming?

you get 3 per game or is it still qualified through the not-so-mystery mystery shot?

Thought it was mentioned in the stern if the union address. I could be wrong. It would be nice to get a sneak peak at the release notes. Curious how deep and creative they plan to go with it.

Im guessing it will be awhile.

January Stern of the union:
Status of Code:
Aerosmith – Aerosmith is still in line for an additional update and polish.

February Stern of the Union:
Status of Code:
We continue to add resources to our software department to address updates, enhancements, bug fixes and various polish to our catalog of previous titles including Ghostbusters, Aerosmith and KISS.

This tells me their new hires will be taking on those 3 abandoned games. I wouldn't expect anything anytime soon if true.

Wait. Is that new? It was always just sparky or cranky or whatever his name is as the call outs right?

Also, what do smart Missiles do? Award mode shot? Sounds like this is a pretty solid update overall. Like that progression is much faster.

Is pro still the way to go on this title or did they add anything more to the premium/LE features? From what I understand prem has better love in elevator locking rules and an extra player driven/controlled double (and triple?) Scoring with the mini pf. That about right, anything else?

Apparently the new code allows the LIE scoop to progress the mb like the premium drop.

If you're on wifi, try plugging in direct. If you're plugged into router, try plugging direct to modem. If you have anti-virus, try disabling it. Also try disabling windows firewall. And if you haven't tried, reboot your computer then go directly to sterns site and download. Also, what browser are you using?

Are you downloading direct from sterns site to your jump drive? Try downloading to your hard drive,then unzip it to your hard drive, then copy + paste to your USB.

That could be your problem. Try the latter. Good luck!

I wish stern could get a better update system. Never had an issue with IMDN (it’s less than 2gb), but both SW and now AS just don’t like updating. Seems like any of their code that has more than one file is pissy as shit.

Game is frozen at 466/2914mb. Whatcha think, power cycle and try again?

Full update did the trick.

Oh btw, I’m in the club
Bought a friends Pro. Cool game, not the greatest. But worth owning for awhile. I’m sure I’ll appreciate it more as I learn the rules and strategies. Right now I have no idea what I’m doing besides hit the blinky light.

That sounds like it should be a pinside topic. We’ve heard people’s desert island pin; we’ve heard the one pin collection votes; but what about your last game on earth

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

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.

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.

Glad mines not the only one
