Waiting on #704 invoice. Hopefully soon-

#12902 2 years ago

Anyone have any issues installing the mantis garage protector? It won't slide into place. It's just a hair too large. I don't want to damage the clear and don't want to use any more force than necessary.

Any suggestions?

#12903 2 years ago
Quoted from epthegeek:

The interdimensional cable bits are 100% ad-lib. He just rambles random things and then they give them to the animators with no direction on what to do with it.

Sorry for going on a non-R&M tangent, but it reminded me of a fun thing I got to witness. The following short had no script...it just said "Seth Green will improv this". I was at the recording studio for this, and Seth just put on his headphones & made all this up in one take.

OK, back to Rick & Morty motherrrfuuuuckeeeerrrs!!!!!

Off the cuff I would say to use a small cutting wheel (Dremel) to cut a slit in the ring portion to allow the ring to compress slightly? Maybe don't cut all the way through the ring portion unless you absolutely have to and make the cut in a location where it's not going to be visible. I don't have a protector yet but that's most likey where I would start if I really had to make it fit.

Stick it in the freezer for a bit and try to install it quickly?

My new rick n morty came with 5 balls but under the lockdown bar it says install 4 balls. Any ideas?

1 ball in portal exit (just above and to left of pop bumper)
4 in the drain

4 in the trough, 1 in the portal.

#12909 2 years ago

So I saw someone say there's a 5 ball MB? I have not seen that yet? Is that true? How does it reload the portal?

It reloads itself next time you shoot the portal.

#12912 2 years ago

I purchased and installed the Magnetic Read Switches from @sonic. I have to say, they are an excellent product. I think these should replace rollover switches almost everywhere they can! I highly recommend them.

#12913 2 years ago
Quoted from Aniraf:

I just got my game on Friday and did the same. Lots of tweaks and upgrades including the Magnetic reed switches. They work great and are simple to install if you know how to solder. I installed 4 total in the orbits. I went on a bit of a rampage over the weekend tweaking it and did the following.

- installed magnetic reed switches x 4
- moved the garage shot ball guide
- moved the upper flipper ball guide
- shaved down the bushings 1/8 of an inch
- gapped all the switches
- installed the krystal and scoop light mods
- hooked up hdmi splitter for streaming
- installed a set of Titans
- installed the mantis scoop protector
- mylar’d the shooter lane
- installed the upgraded shooter lane wire form
- sanded down the locknuts for the diverter under the house
- gapped the flipper switches / EOS switches
- added ramp stiffeners to L/R ramps

I upped all the flipper power by 5 and set flipper hold to aggressive as well. I will be changing out the flipper springs with BW springs as soon as I get a chance. Gapping the EOS switches properly and changing the flipper hold to aggressive helped a ton on the latest version of code (April release).

Here is a look at my first stream in case anyone wants to see how it shoots after the tweaks. Thanks to everyone in this forum for the tweaks and photos, they helped a lot to dial this thing in. I am absolutely loving this game.

Hmm, okay but how do you get 5 balls? Is it Grom+Meseeks and you can get an add-a-ball? Like I said, as far as I know I've never seen 5 come up before. Is there another MB mode?

That's correct, Grom+Meeseeks.

#12916 2 years ago
Quoted from arzoo:

5 balls...That's just a bit too much excitment for me! I had a regular multiball yesterday where one ball went airborne and slammed directly into the blue crystal. Just about crapped my pants! I had just switched to the loosey goosey williams springs so things seem a bit more wild now.

#12917 2 years ago

Im struggling now with my flippers. My flippers have been great, I've had my pin for a long time, now they are getting funky with the new code. I went to the original setting and I hit multiball and they just started flipping themselves. dang. this kinda blows as my flippers have always been great until now

#12918 2 years ago
Quoted from arzoo:

That's correct, Grom+Meeseeks.

Maybe I need to pay more attention, but I've only ever had 4 balls during that. 3 for Grom + 1 for Meeseeks. I've only ever got 1 additional ball during any Meeseeks, not 2.

Additionally, I'm still confused about the loading of the portal, because that would mean, unless you make the portal shot right as you lose the rest of your balls, in any other moment of play, when you reload the portal, it would have to launch a new ball from the shooter lane. I would have noticed that.

The way this would have to work is you guys are saying it's ejecting the 5th ball from the portal trough when MB kicks in...I have never seen that happen that I'm aware of.

I need to open it up and install MRs and garage protector so I'll test it out when I do.

Yes, this is exactly what it does! You can earn one add-a-ball from each multiball, and if there are already 4 balls in play, it will serve the portal ball ... fast!

Okay, that was what I wasn't clear on. Sounds like I've just never got the add-a-ball for meeseeks (or...the more likely scenario is I lost balls prior to getting the add-a-ball).

Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

After switching to the "Original" setting you need to power cycle the pin for it to take effect. This is a bug that Eric is aware of (and I'm sure will fix).

Make sure you've power cycled, as suggested above, then check those switches; flipper eos, flipper button switches.

I've been playing with Original + High settings, Stern return springs and the flipper power when shooting is fantastic.

Hold power is not as good as Aggressive + High, but nearly. I realized I had my scoop eject cranked higher for faster/meaner eject speeds, so I returned that to default (16?) and the auto-fires off the right flipper on scoops ejects are rare now. Pop bumper still folds the left flipper like wet cardboard but probably unavoidable.

#12924 2 years ago
Quoted from Fytr:

Hold power is not as good as Aggressive + High

Interesting. Original/High is actually a higher percentage duty cycle, just distributed differently. But with any of them, timing is a factor. If you get ball impact during an 'off' part of the cycle it reacts differently.

#12925 2 years ago

Build sheet sent for #547 (standard). My wait is almost over!

(Game numbers were allocated to dealers so some standard editions games won't all be numbered at the end.)

There are a lot of variables, for sure. And the differences can be subtle.

I do wonder why this more complex duty-cycled approach is considered worthwhile when a basic Williams 2-circuit coil setup seemed to be fine + simple? Is it that those types of coils don't work well with the solid-state power supplies of modern games?

I just write bugs for the hardware I was given, man. I dunno.

#12928 2 years ago

I know the flippers are a little funny, but interestingly enough, I noticed an auto flip with a hard ball hit on a flipper that was up on my NGG. It was subtle, but since I’m more acutely aware, I noticed it. Mine are almost perfect with just the EOS adjustment.

#12929 2 years ago

Was playing last night and I ran into an issue. I was in the the Blood Dome adventure with Glomflomite multiball going and two balls locked. Shot the scoop and nothing happened, machine did not do a ball search after sitting idle for about a minute. I had to open the coin door and hit the tilt bob until the machine tilted. It then kicked the ball out of the scoop. I did notice when I shot the scoop that the start adventure was lit even though I was in an adventure, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

This is the first new detail I've gotten on this in a while - so thanks for that!

Quoted from northerndude:

Wait. WAIT. Hold on. Are you guys calling a knockdown recovery "flipping by themselves" and "auto-flipping" ? What the heck do you expect the game to do when a ball hits hard enough to push the flipper down? It's certainly not nothing, because then the flipper would be down.

No, literally when MB started the flippers started auto flipping

#12933 2 years ago

I can say I've never seen that. Only some fluttering on flip when timings are set too low.

#12934 2 years ago
Quoted from northerndude:

Is this while holding the flippers up they flutter, or are you saying you have your hands off the flipper buttons and the bats go up and down by themselves? I see the former, not the latter.

To be fair I think I paid the balance due on mine about 3 weeks before it showed up at my door.

#12938 2 years ago

Tilt sensitivity.
I have to nudge my game pretty good to get a tilt warning, but many times it will tilt out while handling it like a baby after the first warning.

I do enjoy the tilt callouts very much, but only if they are warranted.

Any ideas on adjustments?

#12941 2 years ago
Quoted from northerndude:

A couple people including I have had this. Widen the gap on your flipper SWITCH leafs. They can be close enough that the plunger firing causes them to touch and you get ghost flips.

#12942 2 years ago
Quoted from fnord:

yes, the tilt stuff is hilarious! and..the most common mystery award is an extra tilt warning anyway lol.

Quoted from fnord:

This makes sense, but what's strange is I never had any phantom flips until the most recent code update and they stopped when I switched from "Default" to "Original" in the flipper setting.

If you want a more sensitive tilt, raise tilt bob up

Lol. Mine's in the bottom of the cabinet. Game's hard enough without it.

#12946 2 years ago
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

Mine isn't sensitive, you really have to nudge hard to get a warning. It's just that after the first warning, I could pretty much trap up and wait for the incoming full tilt.

I have this as well. The debounce seemed to stop working correctly at some point around 4 months ago. ? software. I plan to try the earplug trick to settle the bob faster but it is (mildly) annoying.

EDIT-- mostly annoying because the death save animation is great. But do an actual death save and you will get a delayed "ghost" tilt 5 seconds later. But even a good non-death save nudge often gets delayed tilt as you describe.

It’s got de-bounce, it’s even adjustable in the settings up to more than 6x as long as default if you want. If it didn’t it would be warning-warning-tilt REAL FAST.
