I currently find them difficult to complete - and have not made it to the Batusi mode yet either - but I can't really say that they're too difficult at this point as I've been focusing on the major villains more. I need to bone up on the shots and nuances of the minor villains yet.

That's the excuse I'm going with for now anyway.

Will do that Tuesday. Thanks

Same here, lately maybe I can score one King Tut or one Mad Hatter. I don't think I've ever completed a Shame yet.....which is well, shameful.

Great ideas! Or maybe offer a cash out halfway through the current modes where you can choose between getting an easier credit for completing a mode, or go for exponentially greater points, kind of like the major villains. That would make the game more consistent.

Lyman - if you are reading this, please consider a practice mode selection at the beginning of the game where you can select any particular mode and have it start immediately. Practice mode would only be available if the game is on free play.

Imagine being able to instantly start any major or minor Villian mode, any of the multiballs, Villian Escape, Bat Turn, etc.

What do you think fellow BM66 owners? used a paint pen(was a bitch to use)

Where did you get the Batman logo/stand on top of the TV?

I think you need to invest in Yelobird ‘s Atomic Pile mod.

+1 to that one!!!

It came with the game when I bought it NIB

Has anyone else got that Batman logo on top of the TV?

sorry but its a keychain (was included in the box)that I put on there with double sided tape

You were ok not having one until you see his. Now it's a must have gotta get it MOD.. Look in goodie bag inside cabinet. Good luck

Thanks for that, was just a question.

Anyone know what the easiest minor villain modes are so far? It seems there's no indication of # of shots to complete on any of them. The best I've done is complete two seasons and start the third minor villain. Frustrating, but fun that keeps me coming back for more punishment! Tempted to remove the glass to test and check out the holy Robin Multi-ball, but I've resisted the temptation...So far!

Otherwise, loving the new code and noticing the difference with each upgrade! It's a game that's as much fun to watch as it is to play!

For me the easiest minor villains are Egghead, Mr. Freeze and Tut. Bookworm and Shame are damn near impossible for me. Just too many shots needed. I try to have at least 2 balls locked before I start a minor villain. Then start a multiball and hope for the best.

Help with your villain modes - try and start one just before the multiball.

During multiball (right when it starts is best), hold the lockbar button down for 2-3 seconds to switch the "channel" back to the villain mode.

Theres no need to have the multiball "channel" running ... you know every shot is points.

When you change channels, the inserts will be showing you where to aim to complete the villain mode. Try and hit them!

Don't forget to light the inlanes for MYSTERY and spank the left orbit to get your add-a-ball for the MB.

I could be wrong - but I don't think you can ADD TIME to the villain mode from MYSTERY when the MB is running. If you can, it would be after ADD A BALL as that is always first.

If you are running the Villain mode in single ball play, ADD TIME is invaluable. It will always be the first MYSTERY award during a villain mode.

Running 2x or 3x playfield multipliers during the Villain modes can be very lucrative. ADD TIME will also add time to this, as well as the Villain mode.

We did notice that. Turns out a new USB stick did the trick.

Thanks

100% sure! The Batmobile and Batcycle are identical to the 1:50 scale vehicles sold separately.

hearing that final run of batman premium is coming up - order now!

Chris b said they where doing one more run this month and that’s it.

Wonder if it’s the end of the licence or stern keeping it reasonably limited.

So I just downloaded the new code to my thumb drive, plugged it in, turned it on and the update prompt never appeared. Just goes to the regular screen.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? The instructions didn't call to flip a dip switch like past machines.

Did you unzip it before you put it on thumb drive.

No switch, did you extract the zip file and put the files in the root folder of the usb?

There is never one more run or limited when it comes to stern.

I thought the license expired sometime next year (2017-2019). I don't know why Stern wouldn't keep making Premiums if they still have orders.

New code seems to work ok.

I think there must be a scoring bug in .94. Looks like your score was accidentally multiplied by 10 ...

F U RD!!!

Put the glass back on.

Btw, Shame is a bitch.

And I'm about to get all up into BM66 as soon as i load this code tomorrow.

Yeah...that was it...thanks.

Weird because my Mac usually automatically unzips files.

Thanks guys!

And F U too, Icey.

Shame is a hero!

Here’s a strategy to get high scores. (My one)

Just before you start your first MB, start the first Mad Hatter villain. The first villain on the screen. Beat him, and he will allow you to play all the villains over and over.

Then play Shame over and over again.

Then play Shame some more.

I probably played 10 Shame rounds in that 4.5b game.

Try and start Mr Freeze before the second MB. I did that, but didn’t finish him, otherwise the score likely would be much better.

That was the strategy for the 7.5b game too.

So loving the latest code!

Hey Lyman....For the next update, any chance of getting some John Astin as Riddler video? After all, we have all three Catwomen.

Was able to reach Holy Multiball earlier. On the Batusi/Holy Multiball choice screen there is a grayed out area in the middle of the two. That means maybe a third multiball choice in the future! My guess is a Batgirl multiball of some sort?

That would make sense- one mode each for Batman, Robin and Batgirl.
That would be awesome on top of the awesome we already have ...

Unfortunately, Batman was never going to go there. SIGH.

It was mentioned a while back that there will be 3 wizard modes and potentially another game mode like Bat Turn - hopefully Villian Vision mode where you get taunted!

I just can’t rememebr where I heard that or who said it, I have a feeling it was on a podcast.

Found it! Knew I remembered listening to Lyman discuss BM66 code and the 3 wizard modes.

Holy unbalanced scoring

No, it's a really really great mode!

Hi all-

I am considering joining the club as the new code looks great and had a few questions. Early on in this thread there was a discussion of several issues that people were experiencing. The ball flying off the left ramp, issues with the left orbit, and the ball getting periodically stuck around the rotisserie. Are these issues still occurring on new games and still require tweaking?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Yes. I have seen this on .94. Not sure how it could be code related, but I never had the problem of the ball bouncing out as I do now. Annoying and strange.

The ball flying off the left ramp was fixed with a kit they sent to owners. Probably installed on all new games. Same with the ball sliding down the Catwoman plastic into the outlane.
The rotisserie needs to be level. Mine was pretty far off out of the box, but once leveled stuck balls have been uncommon. These kind of tweeks are pretty much to be expected on any new game.

See how different people handle obstacles! Shame is the one I start most often,cause I can always beat it! Bookworm is one I still need to play more!!

I love Shame but he kicks my ass!

I will try this strategy, thx RD

We are so ready for our BM66 premium to arrive. When are they going back on the line at Stern? I’m not sure if JJ had one in stock when we ordered or if we are off the upcoming run.

Sounds like most people prefer mirror blades than any artwork blades on this title.

When I installed .94 code, I went to adjust the Penguin lag and it is now adjustment #136 instead of #126. So 10 adjustments have been added. I haven’t went through to look at what they are. May be related to the new King tut mode or the Holy Multiball.

I don’t usually mod much but Stern did well with their blades this time. Good quality and actually complete the environment well. (See below)
