Made some video for a friend yesterday of the added Mad Hatter and Shame modes yesterday!

It was at one of our locations while the other pins were also being played so that's why you can't hear the B66 completely but it gives an indication of the two new minor villain modes

I thought why not share them here too in case anyone without a B66 game wants to see this great game getting better after each update!

Is the magnet strength adjustable. I feel my magnet rarely grabs the ball

New code today according to George G.

Huh??

That sure would be a nice surprise!

Woah!! Have hardly played .85!!!

Great video showing the new Batman 66 exhibit at the Hollywood Museum!!

Bookworm and King Tut!

V0.86.0 - Jan. 16, 2018
=======================

- VILLAIN ESCAPE with frozen timers (defeat Mr. Freeze) allows the
villain value to build until the player loses the ball and multiball
is started.
- The BALL SAVER is turned off at the start of VILLAIN ESCAPE, since
VILLAIN ESCAPE can be started immediately from the ball shooter at the
start of a new ball if the ball rebounds into the TOP EJECT.
- Rebalanced sounds and speech.
- Fixed a bug in BAT TURN where the GADGET BUTTON would not award certain
shots.
- Fixed a bug in VILLAIN ESCAPE mode where the GADGET BUTTON would not
award the PENGUIN VUK shot.
- Added BOOKWORM mode. This mode becomes easier based on how many other
modes are played and completed before starting it.
- Added KING TUT mode.
- Increased the percent chance that LIGHT TV will be awarded from
mystery.
- ADD MORE TIME from mystery is now given higher priority than RESTART
BATPHONE HURRY-UP.
- Added a setting (default: YES) that spots neighboring unscored TV
targets. (This should make it easier to light the TV modes, as the
bottom target difficult to hit intentionally.)
- Fixed a bug that was flashing the area for the playfield multiplier
timer.

Thank you Lyman!!!

and "still" only .86

Awesome I honestly didn’t even get to 0.85 because I pulled my game home to work on bad trough boards.

Also- sorry if I’m too intimidated to search it. Has anyone fixed/tweaked/replaced their ball lock rollover switches? I’m getting what appears to be errant false switch activations from the rollovers. I think they need replacing...

Did you install the Stern capacitor kit? It was supposed to eliminate false switch alerts.

I.like this new feature:

"Added a setting (default: YES) that spots neighboring unscored TV targets. (This should make it easier to light the TV modes, as the bottom target difficult to hit intentionally.)"

Will make it easier to try put the new minor villain modes. I wonder if it will work that way during the Shame mode? I have a tough time getting through that mode cuz I'm bad at hitting the TV targets consistently.

What exactly does this mean?

In general, way more minor villain action.

Can’t wait to play Tut and Bookworm

.86

In Lyman We Trust!

That's what I figured. Just not sure what it means to "spot" a target.

My interpretation is it will light the bottom target sometimes when you hit the middle one. 2 for 1.

I read it as hit the top target and the top and middle ones will light.

Hit the middle target and all three will light.

Hit the bottom target and the middle and bottom ones will light.

Thats my assumption. Wont be able to try it until later tonight.

Yeah I’m all service bulletin’d up

The hardest part of removing turntable is removing the coil/lock gate at the very “bottom” of playfield. It’s not fun but it’s not the nightmare I thought it would be.

Amazing video Thundergod, thanks for posting! Eventually one Pinball like ours will be placed proudly in there as part of the Batman 1966 history.

so. balls were getting stuck in the turntable, and I fished out this broken rubber ring. (plus a washer) everything works good. could this be from the the car turn? I'm a novice at repair. so far everyrhing works. any suggestions

first time I've had a problem w download.....unzipped, sent files (3x) to USB drive, but game doesn't see them....2 different computers, 2 different usb drives....odd

update went fine for me, with the same old stick I use for everything.

the 2 new minor villains is great. I only played each one briefly but they seem fleshed out, with clips integrated like the others.

I counted 5 remaining greyed out choices.

good to know....3 files, correct?

yup.

Weird....just blasts right through to .85.....I'll delete and start again.....if you got it, I must have glitched in download somewhere....always been solid throughout...

There is??? Awesome.

Were the greyed out parts still the silhouettes of the exisitng minor villains or something else?

Maybe the season 1, 2, 3 goal is that you fight the all minor villains from season 1 before season 2, then season 2 before season 3, then finish with season 3?

These updates take forever to download...wtf?

Got it on the 3rd try....not sure what the deal was....time to play!!!!!

5.4GB is not a small download ... but it did seem longer than last release.

My download has been going for 3 hours. I checked my download speed and the hold up is not on my end. It appears to be on stern’s end.

That could be but it is taking me an hour to move the files to my dongle.

docquest any tasty tidbits added behind the scenes in this release?
New video clips or anything cool?

This is how the TV targets work now.

If you hit a TV target that is unlit then it lites. If you hit a TV target that is already lit then it lites just one adjacent TV target that is unlit.

If the middle TV target is lit and the other two TV targets are unlit and you hit the center TV target than the upper TV target will light. If the middle and top TV targets are lit and you hit the middle TV target than the bottom TV target will lite.

Think I saw 3 grayed out duplicates of tut, bookworm, and madhatter..odd...I'll go explore more. VERY unique shade of yellow used in arrows for bookworm mode....like it!!!!

Holy s*#t!! King Tut and Bookworm modes are awesome!! Lower TV target can now be activated by hitting the middle one 2x. Middle TV target can be activated by hitting top 2x. Hitting bottom TV target 2x lights all three. EDIT...just like Doc said! This damn pin is amazing!!! Thank you Mr. Sheats!!

Can you summarize the modes/rules?

Hallmark Batcopter in place....looks amazing!!!! Thanks @vireland....sadly, parachute van back on the bench...there must be a place!!!

You like it better than the Eaglemoss one? Or because it has the figures?

.86 Stuff -----

King Tut
- shoot all white lit shots, then shoot some (?) more. Similar to Freeze, but fewer shots I think.
- Defeating him LIGHTS THE SEASON 1 INSERT!!!! W00T
- Lots of video and speech. Very well-done minor villain.

- I thought I defeated Shame, but the insert didn't light. Unclear if insert isn't programmed like 1 yet, or if I didn't defeat him. I couldn't select him again, so I think I beat him. Dunno.

New sounds for hitting purple shots in Penguin. Crane sound is the same.

Egghead and Riddler bugs still there.

This game really can go nuts with stacking stuff even without major villain stacking on.

Major Villain
+ Multiball
+ PF Multiplier
+ Minor Villain
+ Bat Turn

Nutty stuff man.

Finally King Tut, Excellent! I’ve been waiting for this since I bought mine fellas... will play till 3am Literally today

I do for 2 reasons:

Figures look really good
Size is slightly smaller than the eaglemoss version, but larger than hw version.. so not as dominant, just right. I think the features/ detail are quite nice on the hallmark. Definitely better than the hot wheels.

Mounted w slight pitch w bailing wire, so copter blade will turn randomly during gameplay, due to vibration. Really like it....

I keep thinking the van might work over the left outlane on a mounting plate...maybe?

the penguin sounds (shots) are changed.
In my opinion the old ones were better but these are ok

yeah, I think I've seen max of 5 TVs on the screen. Main TV, and then 2 small TVs on both left and ride sides of LCD. Makes for some great channel surfing!
