That made me laugh! That just about sums it up! Great game, we love ours.

It’s an amazing game considering the similarities with BDK the games couldn’t feel more different physically and especially in code.

Lyman said in a couple of interviews because the layouts where so similar/recycled he wanted to make sure the code was completely different as he didn’t want to do something he has already done, which he kinda has by creating “another” masterpiece after TWD!

I was just going to ask this on the new v0.93 code. Mad Hatter being my favourite minor villain modes, the music and shots are awesome, but i was a bit disappointed the season 2 video was blurry. Like its not HD but standard res. I hope that this is temporary and they improve the video files. One of the other great thing about this game is the quality of the video files up to this point. They look to have been extracted from the blu-ray discs. They are certainly crisper than other games to

I've actually been working with Stern on a similar problem. On my game the crane will travel out/left and stop where the opto flag is set (physical adjustment under the playfield on the crane mech)- but when it travels in the other direction, back/right, it always over-travels further than it should. Currently I have the opto flag set to have the crane stop too far when going out/left so when it over-travels back/right it stops on a more centered position over the inserts.

For the software setting (feature adjustment 126) it does work BUT you have to reboot the game after making the change for it to take effect. Lower settings will cause the crane to stop sooner when the opto flag hits and higher settings = longer to stop.

Neither of these fix my issue since the crane always over-travels going back/right. My current plan is to add something to widen the opto flag so it's detected sooner when traveling back/right. I'll post whether or not this works.

Also Stern mentioned they had problems with the crane before which were caused by DIP switch settings and I am waiting to hear back on that.

Thanks for the reply. I never rebooted so that makes sense. I will try the new settings again with a reboot and see if it helps. I searched this thread and could not find the post on adjusting. I don't really think an adjustment will fix my problem since it over travels in both directions.

I actually talked to a buddy of mine and I came up with the same solution on widening the opto trigger as well. If the feature adjustment doesn't work, I might go that route if Stern doesn't have a solution.

Sounds like your on the right path and I am Sure others appreciate you taking the time to share this info for others in the future. Thank You! With that said, I would only advise you exhaust all adjustment and advice options with Stern before making custom brackets or mounts. I find it hard to believe todays game (yours) is in anyway using different parts then the hundreds (+++) out there with no issues with this. I suspect yours just might have missed a QC step in the factory but I bet they will get you dialed in and loving that game in short order. Thanks again for the updates!

My first attempt at creating a new mod. I’m hoping to make millions!

Haha it’s a double whammy, I laughed cause it looked stupid then instantly spotted “sock” bravo good sir, well played old chat

LOL - that made me laugh!

Priceless. lol Honestly a mod/creation of any type that brings joy, a smile, or can bring a laugh is already a success. Thanks for the laugh!

Can I get one with purple tape instead of the green?

You could drop a blinking LED in there and call it electric.

I have always had trouble registering hits to the crane but lately I can smack it hard and it still won’t register. Is there a way to fix this and make it a bit more sensitive. Any help appreciated.

Whoa! Don’t give people ideas there are a couple “mod” makers I can think of that would probably give it a go and price it at $45 for single led or $65 for RGB.

You lose the contrast with the purple background/purple tape. That runs against my artistic vision, so it will cost an extra $100.

For an extra $50 I can use a clean sock.

Anyone?

Tape a sock to the side of the cabinet.

Bwahahahahahaha! ... amazing lol!

Is your crane ball lined up with the inserts or is it off to one side or the other? If it's not lined up, you might go to the crane diagnostic test and see if the location inserts are triggered when the crane is over the inserts.

Yes they are lined up. In test, it registers but have to move it a lot. In play I smack it as hard as possible and it feels like I need a cannon to get it to register.

TWDLE and Lyman are my all time favourites. Code makes the game for us. My wife and I normally prefer harder games with shorter ball times but we have warmed up to BM66. I just love the theme.

I don’t know if I could have 2 games like TWD in my collection, that could lead to a pinball related breakdown

Nothing to stop you changing the design a bit though. I suspect you'd sell rather a lot, given how disappointing and extremely expensive the official non-(S)LE Stern topper is.

Also, Yelobird ... I remember having this exchange with you. How did you get it done in the end? Printing or moulding?

I see that Stern has update the Bat66 link at http://www.sternpinball.com/games/batman-66/le

For the new guys wanting to know how to play this game and for the others wanting to brush up on some skills, have a look.

Thanks Stern you sexy mofos

Holy Batlinks BatCon...they are awesome

I’ve asked about this a few times, and no one seems to know. Mine is not too bad, but still needs a solid hit.

Maybe ask in the BDK owners thread also. Only way I can think of is to make the hole in the bottom of the crane smaller. A large washer?

I’d recommend sending George a polite email, I believe he designed the crane mech, even if he didn’t I’d bet he knows it inside out.

On second thoughts, having the crane not so sensitive is good for points in Penguin on B66. Too sensitive and it makes it hard to build up the jackpot.

Haha good point.

In the diagnostics menu there is an option to rotate the turntable to it's different positions.

The artist who did the art for Batman66 is doing another run of his Batman66 movie posters. He has a couple available signed by Adam West and Burt Ward.

Why does he only appear to do business on Facebook!?

Dont know but I think he would sell even more with a website.

Looks I’d we have to PM him to pre-order, but I don’t do Facebook. Anyone have Christopher’s email address?

Pinball Life, Marco Specialties or Titan Pinball are my go to's.

He would also sell a lot more if he sold outside the US, just seen the posters are US only

Just had the same rubber break last night, it’s 1 1/2”. Kind of pain to replace it though. Pinball life sells a white or black rubber ring assortment or by each in various colors. Translucent or black doesn’t stand out as much.

Does anyone have tips on how I can connect an external sub to this game?

Thanks in advance!

quick question, was playing a two player game - on ball two - I look back at the display and all the sudden its a one player game and I'm on ball one?

This happened once before when I was on ball 3 of a single player game, hit the turntable then all the sudden I was back on ball one with zero points. Thought I was imagining stuff the first time, like maybe I drained it - and started a new game without remembering.

I'm assuming this is a software glitch.
It's happened twice and it's a pretty rare occurrence, not to concerned about it. Figured the next update might fix it?

Brilliant, thanks so much.
