Just joined the club. It bricked when updating to the latest code, so I just pulled the SD card and flashed it anew.
We're big fans of the band, so this game should be enjoyable for a little while. I did order the plastic protectors, air ball fix and Stern fixes to get everything squared away.
Has anyone ordered the Titan kit for their pro? I'm considering the one below and want to know if anyone found it missing pieces.
Quoted from wtatumjr:Compared to the Marco kit you get the 3 post sleeves which is great because they wear the most. You also get 2 more 3/16 inch rubber rings. It appears you're missing the 6 grommets - the very small but fat rings near the out lanes. Marco DOES supply these.
Do you mean the 7/16" OD rings?
Quoted from wtatumjr:Sorrry ! The grommets go on the underside and fit the coil stops - check the elevator or scoop plunger on the underside. The marco kit has these. These rarely would go bad however so I wouldn't bother unless you're a purist. Your kit seems complete compared to the Marco kit. Neither kit has the 4 post rubbers nearest Jackie but these are fairly hidden and not subject to wear. Your kit DOES has the other 3 post rubbers however and these are very important.
Gotcha. I checked those and they appear to be in good shape. Thanks!
So.. the plastic for Love in an Elevator broke on my pro today. Does anyone have an extra or know of replacement/mod that will take its place? Thanks.
Quoted from Dallas_Pin:Photo of broken piece/location?
Circled in red.It's the plastic that says, "Love In An Elevator"
If anyone has the piece intact and can get the number off of it, I might be able to look it up.
Quoted from wtatumjr:I haven't found any AS plastics available except the Jackie head and toy box lid. I'm trying to contact Stern direct - 'will let you know if I have any success.
Yeah. Most aren't readily available, but a distributer should be able to get whatever you need if you have the part number. The manual has the entire kit listed, but that might be overkill.

I think it's line 9, "BUTY # 42" 830-7046-42
Does anyone have an extra plastic for "Love in an Elevator"? Stern will only sell it in a set and mine got smashed to bit recently. If not, can someone grab the exact measurements so I can make something out of PETG? Thanks!
Took advantage of the extra home time and put some work in on Aerosmith.

I found a set of Aerosmith Side Armor locally NIB and put them on this weekend. Definitely a nice touch.
Quoted from PoMC:I finished version 1 of the live video replacement project. Gameplay video is below and shows all 9 songs having a new video instead of a Flash animation background of the band.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/j6KGSozYS6ZFE3WP9
Several videos have some stuttering or slowdown during these songs: Rats in the Cellar; Back in the Saddle and Same Old Song and dance
It's because of all the added animations/overlays on those screens - rats walking around; lots of targets shown on the screens.
I'll see if lowering the bit rate on those several videos resolves the stuttering, but I don't want to reduce the video quality much more. Those several songs are already down to 1500kbps bit rate
It's too bad I couldn't complete a version in Pinball Browser by importing all videos without conversion. Without conversion, the videos play smoothly, but I cannot get all videos replaced because the image becomes corrupted before all can be replaced. Been a pain in the ass and extremely time consuming because of that. So I had to just go back to importing and allowing a conversion, which works, but not to my 100% satisfaction. But still, light years better than the original background graphics.
I'm looking forward to trying this when you get it tweaked.
Quoted from PoMC:I streamed the updated videos on Twitch a few days ago. Not sure how good the quality of the stream is, was testing out Twitch for the first time.
https://www.twitch.tv/p0mc/videos
I'll record new video and save it to Google Photos and post that link.
What SD Card did you use? I have some high speed ones that might perform differently.
Quoted from BMHouze:Game started resetting the PC mid game.
I left it off and it seems well with a short teat game.
It not like I score 100 mill a game....
Does anyone know if the quiet fan is the same strength or stronger than stock???
It's about half the airflow.
I'm messing around with 1.07 on my Pro and here is what I have so far.
- Replaced Sweet Emotion with original music video
- Replaced Love In An Elevator with original music video
- Replaced Love In An Elevator intro with clip from original music video
- Automatically set to Free Play
It's nothing fancy, but it works alright.

I'm also working on replacing Walk This Way with the RUN DMC version.
LMK what you think. Cheers.

Looking for feedback and change suggestions.
Quoted from JimB:If someone updates their Premium/LE with the updates above let me know.
I can give it a whirl.
Quoted from JimB:If someone updates their Premium/LE with the updates above let me know.
Uploading now. I'm looking for ideas on other items to be replaced.
Quoted from BMHouze:If I don't like it can I just default back to the old videos?
Or do I need to save all that data somewhere just in case.
Already have a buddy setting up one of his spare USBs with the data.
Could be fun to try over the holidays.
It's best to do this on a separate SD card. Personally, I have a bunch of these on hand for when I mess around with games.
Couple of ideas:
Dude Looks Like a Lady has 12 different "lady" animations, 8 dudes & 4 ladies. I was thinking of pulling clips from videos where Steven Tyler is dressed/looks like a woman for the dudes and using various women from their video collection for the rest.
Attract Loop animations replaced with concert/live performance clips.
Quoted from BMHouze:I will be sure to have 2 USBs.
My wife is not a huge fan of the run dmc WTW. One of her regular modes (dude is the other).
I have had the game locking up on me a bit lately. A code reinstall could be good in either case.
Not USB flash drives, SD cards.
Quoted from djreddog:Do it. I got a premium, so if you need a tester let me know. Thanks for doing this.
The Pro & Premium/LE versions are in the same folder in their current iterations.
Quoted from JimB:Is saving/restoring scores and settings doable ahead of swapping the Sd?
I'm pretty sure you can only backup the code and not the scores. They will still reside on the SD card when you remove it.
Quoted from Spiderpin:Robin Williams in Miss Doubtfire, Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie, John Travolta in 'Hairspray' and the movie Some like it hot Jack Lemmon.
I like where this going..
Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, The Birdcage, Mulan?, Just One of the Guys
Quoted from JimB:Got it loaded on my premium. Free play, dude and walk this way works fine. The others look the same except sweet emotion is a black screen instead of the cartoons.
Thanks
Few things:
- Did you use the LE version of the file?
- I'll take a look at the Sweet Emotion video. It starts with a black screen, but then should play through. I used the same clip on my Pro and it's working.
- The video for Last Child should have been different as well.
Quoted from JimB:Yes right file used. Says LE on boot up. I just tried last child and it behaves exactly like sweet emotion. Black screen through game play. A few music notes graphics on that black screen.
Alright. I'm going to start with a fresh file and re-encode the videos.
Quoted from JimB:Yes right file used. Says LE on boot up. I just tried last child and it behaves exactly like sweet emotion. Black screen through game play. A few music notes graphics on that black screen.
I uploaded a file with Free Play, Dude and Last Child. Both videos were imported using the app, so LMK.
Quoted from JimB:It’s all working. Turns out that etcher was the problem. You have to use win32imager. Let me know when you add more video.
Glad to hear it. New Premium/LE upload coming shortly.

Take a look in the folder called "Ideas" which has the video clips I'm considering for other sequences.
Looking for feedback and ideas.
Quoted from djreddog:Are there any videos you need that you don't have? Also, are you working with high quality videos? I used to be a Video DJ and I have tons of content all of which is HQ.
I'm working with whatever I can find on the internet and my home movie collection for the new VIP Pass video, Dude, etc. If you have high quality music videos, etc, PM me.

Quoted from djreddog:Downloaded the Premium/LE version. Flashed to SD card. Game goes into a boot loop. It comes up to v. 1.07 LE, then just says "game restarting" at the bottom. It reboots over and over again. Thoughts?
I just imaged my game with the Pro version is it's working as expected.
djreddog Your collection says you have a Pro and you shouldn't use the Premium/LE code.
I will look through the Premium setup again and see if anything jumps out. They're both using the same assets, so I'm not sure what would be different.

Usual checks for me:
- Good brand Class 10 SD card, I use SanDiskUltra 16GB
- Format card on PC before first use
- Try factory download with your new SD card to confirm basic functionality
FWIW, I flashed a new card moments ago and it's working fine. I will upload fresh copies to the share now to be thorough.
Quoted from BMHouze:So what the heck are you doing with Rats.
It's the 'dog' song of the pin.
The easy way out is to find concert footage, but I'm open to any and all ideas.
The one thing I really want to change right now are the tiles from Dude Looks Like a Lady(Scene 166). I replaced the eight dude videos, but the tiles that get displayed after you get them are still the old content. There are a lot of small image files to mess with and I'm going to see how long my patience lasts with that one.

Each overlay "animation" is 53 images they play to simulate a video. Need to think about how to make this work.
Quoted from RDReynolds:Curious, do you have video showing this in action on the machine? Curious as to how this actually looks as it sounds very cool!
It's just a bunch of video replacements, but I'll try and record something.
Quoted from JimB:Same here. I tried 3 different tools to flash the sd card, 2 different PCs, tried 3 different sd brands but still rebooting over and over.
Sorry, but I'm not sure what to say. I haven't had a single boot loop issue on my end. The only other thing I can think of it trying to find somewhere else to upload the file, but I don't think that's it. I only use one brand and type of card, Etcher and it's always worked for me.
Quoted from JimB:I ordered another sd card from Amazon to see if that works. If anyone succeeds with a premium please post.
I was finally able to recreate this problem. Now that I'm able to see it, I should be able to resolve it. Thanks.
Moving the customization efforts to a new thread.

Quoted from rocket_man:Has anyone else had a problem of the plastic in front of the elevator cracking? I assume that this from multi-ball when 2 balls get stuck in the elevator.
[quoted image]
The plastic with the test broke on my Pro. Too many hits. I wish there was a protector for that one.
Quoted from K-27:Saw this on YouTube... Pretty cool topper!!
I replaced all the backboard lights with flex RGBs from comet(pointed down) to provide a similar effect.
Quoted from Vino:Anyone know where to purchase a plastic protector set that may include protection for the plastics left of the toybox and elevator? (Pro)
Those two areas get beat quite a bit. Thanks!
