The evil Morty song (‘For The Damaged Coda’) never played during the entire stream. Instead we only heard Scott’s remix of the R&M theme after game over. I hope the song hasn’t been removed.

Quoted from delt31:Any update if you’re able to include the evil morty music during game over?
Hearing this song in Spooky's sneak peak video added a new dimension (see what I did there!) to the game. I really hope it makes it into the final code (or someone can mod the code to put it in!).

Quoted from FrederikFrost:I don't know my number yet, but my distributor in Europe asked me for details regarding the add-on options.
Looks like a number of machines might be heading to Europe soon! Super excited.
Anyone have an idea of when they're arriving in Australia? I haven't been asked for add-ons yet.

Quoted from Groo:Blew out the pop bumper! Does the brown plastic go on coil side and can it go opposite way of the metal arrow? Only way we can put it back in without taking it all out. 3 washers per side and a nut for each pole. [quoted image]
You sure you just weren't in the dimension where the pop bumper is disabled? :-/
Quoted from razorsedge:If it's the same situation as me, number not known.... whatever is built to go in the Aussie group container I suppose. I have asked a few times, but can't seem to get any info. It's no big deal.
I put my options list in about 3 weeks ago as well, as soon as we recieved it.
I'm in Aus and got my invoice this morning. Got my options list on June 19.

I received my machine yesterday (the first in Australia to do so, I’m told) and it hasn’t been the best experience. I started feeling anxious when I noticed the top of the box was bulging and had a tear in it (image 1)
Here is my list of day 1 woes:
- Chip in butter cabinet (front left) - image 2.
- Cabinet splits in both front sides - image 3, 4.
- Coat pooling under leg area on front left - image 5.
- Left ramp was not aligned with hole in back wall and dug into it. image 6.
- “Hardware Connection Failed” error at boot up. Power cable to board in backbox unplugged. All good now.
- Right speaker not working. Caused by broken clip that holds the end of the wire in the receiver in the cab. Reassembled the clip. All good.
- Ball save timer screen not displaying all sections of the numbers. Loose cable under the screen. Keeps coming loose every few games.
- Phantom ball locks occurring a lot. The game erroneously thinks a ball has been locked in the horse shoe and then launches a second ball into play. Flippers stop after one of the balls has drained. I’m on latest code - 2020.10.12
- Game reboots when another ball is in play due to a phantom ball lock situation and Gromflomite MB is started.
I've emailed Spooky and am awaiting a response.

Also we are now hearing that a couple of owners who have their R&Ms already, have discovered broken parts like the right ramp post. We are now waiting to see how the other owners fair as they take delivery around the country across the next few days. I’m now very nervous about what I’m going to find with mine come Monday.
Mark sent me some photos of the games as he received them. He states that "They put 8 of the games on top of other games. Yours was one of the ones underneath hence the damage on the top. Travelling 40 days on a ship with 130kg games on top. I think there also must have been some rough weather as it looks like those games on top might have moved around a lot. That’s a lot of weight on the games underneath".
IMG_0238 (resized).jpgIMG_0240 (resized).jpgIMG_0248 (resized).jpgIMG_0249 (resized).jpgI really don’t mean to be a Negative Nancy, but aside from the cabinet damage during transit (which I’m sure Spooky will make right), I’m also having issues with phantom ball locks and reboots. Here’s a video (shot over 3 consecutive games) that captures the weirdness.
I’ve checked and reseated all of the optos. The switch test shows the correct switches firing as the ball activates them. The dropdown target tests pass with no errors.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Oh and I'm on the latest code - 2020.10.12.
Quoted from razorsedge:Mr Meeseeks was def right ... "It's gettin' wierd!" Lol
Send log data to Eric perhaps hey?
There could be some mixed up switch connectors, or something, too?
Also, is the ball save countdown timer intended to come to a halt part way through its countdown, for seconds at a time?
Yeah, I was also thinking that some wiring got mixed up. All the labels on the wires into the 2 opto boards (which have stickers naming them "Rick opto board" and "Morty opto board" 
) match their port numbers. And the switch test shows the correct switches activating in the horseshoe and around the PF.
Not really sure how to get the log data. Something about sticking a USB key in, downloading the log onto the key then emailing to Eric ? I'll figure it out.
Never noticed the ball save countdown pause like that. I know that the cable for the countdown display keeps coming loose, which manifests as missing digits (pixels?) in the numbers, but that's a different issue.
Quoted from kermit24:There are two cables for each timer display below the playfield. Check to make sure old hot glue isn’t still on there, preventing a good connection. Remove the hot glue and reattach. Add a dab of new hot glue if needed if they fall out. I think the use too much hot glue sometimes and it seeps under the connector and pushes it up a bit.
Thanks. Yes there is a lot of hot glue there, although I can't tell if it's the glue that's preventing a good connection since I've used electrical tape to cover it and hold it in place for now. Seems to be doing the trick.

Quoted from jbigdoggf:What causes s drop target to fire repeatedly.... in my case the rick drop under the car..
If I hit near it it will fire while the target itself is already up. Sometimes it will fire over and over again I counted it fire 11 times in a row.
Anything to check to fix it would be great.
I'm having a similar issue but on the left side. Traced it to a flakey "Ship Left Bottom Opto". In switch test mode it would seemingly activate randomly even when nothing is happening on the playfield. Spooky is shipping me a replacement opto and wiring. In the meantime, I've been able to still enjoy the game somewhat by swapping the plugs for the Ship Left Bottom Opto and the Left Ramp Opto on the opto board. Having the left ramp activate randomly is a lot less annoying than having the ball lock activate randomly...and I can get to and through adventures easier 
Quoted from razorsedge:Yep, all my posts I use (replace) urethane as it exhibits the best durability by far, and plays just fine. I gave up on silicone a long time ago, it's just too weak as piss to give good value for pinball machines, especially the energetic kind like TNA or RaM.
Mostly I use Superbands, but others make good urethane rings as well, I think Cliffy uses the good stuff too.
Superband slim post sleeves fitted fine (not loose) on my TNA, and I ordered the same for RaM. On TNA they already outlasted the originals by 4 fold and still look brand new. Same for flipper rings. Chewed up post sleeves and flipper rings... that isn't a thing anymore if you go to a suitable material, well so I've found anyway.
Where's the best place in Aus to order these Superband sleeves? Thanks.

Quoted from jaybeedee:I recall a post a while back about a random second ball being served up. I am getting this from time to time.
It seems to be when I am shaking the machine. I'm wondering if one of the switches in the ball trough could cause it if it was being opened or closed by the vibration? Or should I be looking for the ball eject coil being grounded somehow ? Draining the first "legitimate" ball doesn't trigger the end of ball sequence.
Generally when it happens I am pleased to get another life
And in other news, I adjusted my flippers closer to the alignment holes (but not all the way) and it definitely improved the ability to make the left ramp, while still allowing a backhand to the right ramp (slightly harder than it was with the flippers as shipped).
This happens to me due to a flakey opto switch (left bottom ship opto just behind the Morty dropdown target). It fires randomly and makes the game think a ball is locked. Go into the switch test and shake things up a bit. See if any switch fires then check all the wiring to that switch. In my case, the flakey opto will fire (i.e. lose connection or detect a break in the opto beam) even when I'm not near the machine. Spooky are sending me a new switch.

Quoted from jguzik420:I'm curious and thinking out loud, if there's a Vindicators mode coming. We got Noob Noob
That's one of my fav episodes and the Saw challenge stages lends itself to being a mode, IMO. It's also the episode that Morty invokes his right to choose 1 in every 10 Rick and Morty adventures.
"Drunk Rick's point is that none of you are any special or different. That's always his point".

Quoted from orlandu81:Not sure if anyone mentioned this, but it would be killer to have a co-op mode on R&M. Up to 4 Mortys playing with one total score, and use of the same adventure card. This would make it more fun with a bunch of people playing, and more use of the 10th adventure.
On occasion I've set the game to 9 balls to play co-op with my kids. But yeah, it would be nice if co-op was incorporated into the game with scoring and a quick way to enable it, a la TNA.
