Super Super!! Was there any talk of a USB short or anything that would have drained that battery?
Quoted from KingPinGames:funny enough, I do tech support on the weekends, and after hours for all the games I sell (and even some that I don't).
game is up and running now.
That's great. What was the solution (for posterity)?

That’s awesome!
And, good to know!
Glad I’m getting a game from you then! 
Quoted from Yelobird:He said change battery
He actually said that AND he sent over a file on what to set to get it back running right. I was mostly interested in the second part - the settings to get it running after the battery was changed - for posterity.

its just a pdf for the settings to get everything to boot up again.
That’s the one. So, I replaced the battery with a fresh one and followed the pdf directions. Which everything was pre-filled where it was supposed to be, so it was just a matter of me double checking that, maybe took two minutes, save and quit. Game started up after that. I power cycled to make sure it was ok and it was. Ended up being pretty simple.

This is great information to have in this thread for late night issues that may crop up when no one's around to help. I keyposted it.

To assist I will post KingPinChris's Home phone number for late night support. He will Love it!
Quoted from delt31:Is there a way to lower voices but raise music volume?
The framework it’s built on doesn’t have support for this — but Scott’s asked for it too. I’ll see what I can do.

Party line!
Quoted from Jherre6:My board looks like a different model. Does anyone know if they changed motherboards or the model of this one? The CMOS battery looks to be attached through that connector.

That's the computer used in the first builds. The Asrock computer used from about game #80 on, is the one in the image from KingPinGames.

Neat to know! Thanks. Would anyone happen to know the model of the board? I’d love to look it up.

Is there a difference in performance from these two builds?
Quoted from jonesjb:Is there a difference in performance from these two builds?
I'm not sure. The reason for the change was supply issues on the first one.

Quoted from jonesjb:Is there a difference in performance from these two builds?
I wouldnt think there would be any discernable difference in performance since they both use the same CPU and likely have the same Memory/SSD. I have game #89 and have to Odroid model. They must have started to use the Asrock shortly after that. Both are really nice PC's for a pinball machine.

Quoted from JohnDeere:I have had 3 Asrock boards for personal use and they have been rock solid.
Solid, As Rock 
Quoted from Vitty:Number 164 butter cab landed in my garage today![quoted image]
Attach some pictures of the butter cab, I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it. I have a while to decide since I'm in the high 200's.
Quoted from sofgwhat:Attach some pictures of the butter cab, I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it. I have a while to decide since I'm in the high 200's.
Pictures don’t really work to show off the direct print cabinet. The colors are very vibrant and shiny as heck because it’s clear-coated, but a camera phone picture isn’t really going to convey that.
You want to see how good the butter cabinet looks?
Take a peek at the Fish Tales member thread, and search the pics put up by Bryan Kelly, you get a sense of how unreal that looks.
Quoted from sofgwhat:I'm still trying to decide if it's worth it.
The answer to your question is Yes.

I snapped a couple pics yesterday. Wasn’t trying to capture the butter at the time. Pictures always upload crappy on here too.

I am forever jealous of that FT Cabinet. I'd f'n LOVE a Butter Cabinet for my Fish Tales.
Interesting light show I walked up to on location at Next Level in Hillsboro, OR. Reboot fixed things but figured I'd post in here. Sorry, no other info so I don't know what it's running for code or anything helpful.

That’s a bug where you can get a game going while the attract shows continue to run - it was fixed though. Code is probably not updated.

You're the man, thanks.
for those that haven't seen this game first hand, if you have the chance, don't pass it up.
the light show alone is worth the price of admission. the sweeping searchlight pattern for the start of the gromflomite battle multiball is by far the best use of lighting that I've ever seen. hats off eric and scott!
edit:
eric gets no credit for lighting. but eric gets a huge thumbs up for the game code thus far!

Appreciate it, but the lighting is all Scott.

corrected. see above
Quoted from SpookyLuke:Spot on! We set flippers to just barely allow for a back hand of right ramp and then even up the left one which usually allows for a nice right orbit shot.
Has anyone found an ideal flipper position yet? I tried adjusting them but I can no longer backhand from the right flipper. Could someone who is happy with their flippers post an image of where they are set?
Quoted from The_Casual:Has anyone found an ideal flipper position yet? I tried adjusting them but I can no longer backhand from the right flipper. Could someone who is happy with their flippers post an image of where they are set?
+1 for a good top down image of where the upper right flipper should be set. if the machine wasn't so heavy, I believe that I would have picked it up and thrown it across the room due to bricking way too many inner loop and garage shots. my thought is that it shouldn't be this hard to make either of those two shots
Quoted from epthegeek:Appreciate it, but the lighting is all Scott.
...who's "Scott"?? 
Got the scoop lit blue feels cool but I’ve got a slow color changer in the mail can’t wait to swap it in. Did a blue on the magna save button & might try a few different colors on it, but I think it looks cool having the two flippers pulsing green and the mag sav a different solid color. A soft purple chip led in the trough worked out just had to put one of those matrix in-line dimmers on it from Comet to dial down the brightness so no flipper shadows. Added two spotlights in about the same spots FatPanda did and he’s right it adds just the right little extra light to the pf. Also a color changer led strip all the way around the bottom edge of the cabinet, it was a good RaM lunch break from life’s bs!
Still going to add a slow color changer to the portal scoop feed to the left flipper and tap a green led strip off the topper flasher and put it under the cab to flash on the floor/my feet when the portals open, cause it seems my eyes never make it up to the topper when it’s happening!

339A4485-2A58-4461-B26C-DCD5C8DDB868 (resized).jpegPlywood, and most all lumber products, are rocketing up in price right now. In the last six months I've seen some items shoot up over 150%. Causation seems to be the earlier 2020 shutdown of many mills due to Covid-19 as well as the current availability of cheap $ from the banks driving remodels and new construction.
It must be difficult for Spooky to sacrifice profit on roughly 600 Rick and Mortys (built during and after these price increases) when all buyers have agreed to a price set way back in December of 2019. Spooky's raw material cost goes up, but they still make the same money on every game. Most contractors I know have had to back out on construction estimates given as little as a month ago. Tough business with the current price volatility.
Anyone still looking to get in? I have a standard on order, I believe #546 but will be built at the end because Bloodsuckers come first. Ordered via Joe at Pinball Star. Location close to me got one, and having access to one to play for a $ a game I can't justify keeping mine on order. Let me know.

There was one person from Australia who I already talked with and I missed his inside reply. I let him know I'm wanting $1500, so he has first dibs, if he passes anyone else can reach out.

I took a few live photos and a 4k walkaround video to try and show off the butter - it really is stunning in person. ZERO regrets on that.
The sound system in this game is the best I've heard in a pin - awesome bass. Unfortunately this translates into massive, and I mean MASSIVE glass rattle.
I'm about to try padding it with some fuzzy velcro - anyone else run into this and have words of wisdom?

It was needed on ACNC and TNA as well. Spooky kills it with the audio.
