Quoted from BOHICA:Looks like a few Alice Coopers are headed Down Under:

Can’t wait game #118 on its way down under. Now the 6 to 8 week wait...are we there yet! I have a SW Prem coming next week so the wait won’t be so bad. Chris and Dom do a great job looking after Aussie Spooky customers, thanks guys.
Joined the club on Monday #118. Just downloaded new code, loading tomorrow and planning a big session on it. I’ve only completed 3 monsters thus far. I have a long way to go to get to wizard mode if I ever do, but am going to have a fun time trying.
Thanks Charlie and Kayte for the new AMH backglass, greatly appreciate from the land down under. Cheers Gav

I have this on Met RZ and AMH, works great and easy to install. I would try this before going the external sub route.
Quoted from Jousley:I don’t have the newest update yet because I don’t have a computer and can’t find my memory stick but I hope someone can answer me this. Does the update fix the Monster issue with the balls falling down below the playfield? It’s an infuriating issue that just pisses me off when it happens. How can I fix this? Also the right lock switch on The Monster never seems to register when the ball goes in. If I put it in switch test and press it it does work. I wanna get my Alice working perfectly so I don’t get pulled out of the game.
I’m on new code and have had two balls fall into cabinet. I’m not sure how it happens yet as I have not looked at Frankie yet. I hope it can be fixed with code but may need some physical changes to fix. I’m lifting playfield today to have a look will let you know if I find anything that may help. Cheers
Don’t turn the sound down, put some anti rattle tape on glass works great. I have it on all the pins I play loud, no glass rattling. My Met has a 10” sub when turned up you can hear it at the end of the street, whole pin shakes but no glass rattle.
Spooky day yesterday playing AMH, RZ, ACNC and TNA. I don’t think i will ever complete any of them, been close a few times but it’s fun trying. Love the uniqueness of Spooky’s pins.
Ps when turned up loud you don’t hear the fan
Quoted from JustEverett:There is a physical switch at the bottom of the drop targets. It will register as opened or closed. I check this and the drop down mech when I was having issues. I did notice the drop down targets seemt to get a little hung up sometimes causing those physical switches to not be triggered. I don't know if that's happening during game play as I was just manually testing with the pf up. But it did look like it could happen.
I had problems with two of my drops. They were not registering in down position and failing in drops diagnostic test. It turned out to be the two physical switches at bottom of drops, both failed. Spooky sent out two new switches replaced them works fine now except for code bugs mentioned above.
Definitely agree that this switch should be checked if anyone is having problems with drops not registering. Check when drop is in down that leaf activates switch. This has an adjustment if needed.
Quoted from Happy81724:I got my tape but does anyone have a picture of how they applied it. I think i understand the directions but want to make sure I do it right
You start at the bottom of glass where lock down bar goes. Run tape continuously up one side, when you get to top of glass tape goes over top and down the back of same side. Make sure you don’t cut tape should be one continuous piece. Cut over lap off(end cut is at lockdown bar). This way it won’t peal off when removing and sliding in glass.
I find leaving backing on and pulling off as affixing tape to glass is easiest, cut backing when it gets in the way don’t cut tape. Hope this helps, don’t have pics cheers
Not sure if new code related but since update I can access menu screen(green button) scroll through using Flippers but when trying to access menu option (green button) does nothing. Need to adjust my magnet save setting.
Anyone else having a problem with this? Thanks. Will email Christopher if just mine.
Quoted from Marvello:Yes, this has been a acknowledged and should be fixed in later code. Use the Start button instead of the green button for now.
Thank you. I missed that. Cheers
Quoted from manadams:Having trouble putting new code on. When I download the update am I supposed to open it with a zip program or just put it on usb stick as is? The two zip programs I tried to open it with failed to do so I put it on usb stick as is, game acts like its going to install it for a short time but then boots the old code.
Did you format USB to 32 fat and delete any files on USB before copying new code onto USB. I just download and copy to USB didn’t need to unzip first like with Stern code. Hope this helps
Quoted from FYMF:This.
Do not let people who havent played our rare gem ruin this vote.
I feel like once the old school only guys are weened out it will become more fair and headsup
Just voted still need a lot more votes.
It’s funny how some people like to rate Spooky games low. Most have probably never played one or had limited plays on them. I need about 30 games to get a feel for the shots. All their games are tough but fun, it’s what brings me back.

Ps Dave going even ‘Freakier’ during lockdown, any update on code would be appreciated. Cheers
Quoted from Jakers:Ok, so I had my multimeter on the wrong setting. Early morning pinball repairs are tough. lol.
Anyways, I tested the lugs and they are both registering 48 volts. I’m guessing this means a board issue? This is such a bummer.
I had a similar problem with two of the drop target switches, upper PF and lower #2 drop. Working with Chris at Spooky we were able to work out the two switches were broken. Got a couple of new ones sent out and after replacing switches have been 100 % since. All the wires were good to both switches and they were receiving power.
Quoted from Jakers:The switch that registers drop target 2 as “down” is working correctly according to when I put the game in switch test mode. When the drop target is down, it activates the switch.
Ok. For me in test, switches wouldn’t register when manually pushed with my finger. Was told to short out the switch using pliers to see if it registered in test which it did. Looks like your issue is different.
Hope you find the cause soon cheers
MintIndeed Thank you for taking the time to do this, greatly appreciated.
Quoted from clancea3:Stupid question, but where do you see the newest code for ACNC?
Spooky’s web page under game support tag, then scroll to ACNC latest code on left.
