Yes 6 big shiney ones!

thanks

Big thanks to Docquest for hooking me up with the the proper batman emblem lens. Decided to go yellow to match the rest of the machine.

I'd add to check the service bulletins and make sure you've got them all installed. Some prevent damage.

much appreciated

Guess we will find out tomorrow Or just sneak into Lymans office and borrow a copy during the tour. lol

I think you made a very good decision.

I found Deadpool to be underwhelming.

Remove the sweet Yeti artwork and there’s nothing much there. It makes Ironman look packed.

Good pin for location play - good theme and looks good - it’ll attract players and earn money. And that’s what pins are made for. We forget that sometimes.

Re BM66 mods - if you read this thread, you’d think you need everything. However, you need nothing. I have the Stern art blades and they look sweet. They’re the only art blades I own. Someone bought them for me.

As previously mentioned, double check your turntable is square to the playfield. It can move in transport. Easy to adjust with 3x bolts under the PF.

Of all people I would have thought you would have suggested adding cabinet corner braces. lol

Oh yeah. Forgot about that. I still haven’t repaired the back joints yet.

But that’s the only pin I’ve ever had to do it on.

Others seem to have been more lucky ....

Maybe the new ones are better. Probably the luck of the draw.

My Aerosmith I got at the same time as BM66 has been flawless. No issues at all.

rd

Hahahahaha

Did you fix your crane ball yet?

Mine has got less responsive too. It was good out of the box, now its not as sharp as it used to be... still 8/10 though ...

rd

Not yet but I know what needs to be done to fix it.

And....?

Great to see you back on Pinside Jady and what better way to return than buying a BM66 and joining the best club thread!

New Code!

V0.98.0 - Oct. 17, 2018
=======================

- Reworked the Bookworm mode so it is easier to finish.
- Cleaned up speech requests for King Tut 27/28 so new requests are honored
over old ones.
- Changed completion requirements and scoring for King Tut 27/28.
- Cleaned up last stage background clips for King Tut 27/28 (two were close
together, similar).
- Added right target bank target awards to King Tut 27/28; these increase
the scoring for the mode by a decent amount.
- Reworked small TV allocation/deallocation so TV exit animations can be
run.
- Existing choreography, totals, queued and main display effects are now
stopped when changing channels.
- Reworked the "completed" and "total" effects for the minor villain
modes. If the mode is completed, the villain "jailed" animation is
played. If not, a still image of the villain is shown with the total
number of points scored during the mode.
- Implemented correct episode title messages for minor villain modes, based
on the current (possibly saved) state of the rule.
- Changed scoring for Shame 59/60. Additional shot and switch points are
awarded for starting and completing other minor villain modes.
- Changed the number of shots for Shame 59/60 last stage from 7 to 5 for
completion (easier). Added GI effects for GADGET/TV targets. Cleaned
up messages for the background display effect so there is more information
shown regarding the current state of the rule. Cleaned up speech requests
so new requests are honored over old ones.
- Rollover and rollunder switches (loops, ramps) now cause an end-of-ball
condition (bonus) if there is a drain immediately after a serve where any
of these switches are made before the drain.

Bam. Deadpool and Batman mega drop. Great job Stern!!’

version .98... are we nearing the end of Lyman's vision?

Perhaps. I was hoping for more callouts. I enjoy when games say "shoot the blah blah blah to start multiball," or whatever. It would be neat to hear those from Adam or Burt before this is over.

Also I see Shame is easier to complete. Perhaps an answer to people using it to simply supplement regular play with no intention of ever actually completing it.

This could definitely still happen in his final passes.

Lyman is too passionate to stop at 1.00. I predict at least a couple more updates after that. Great job tweaking Bookworm and Shame to be a little easier. Thanks!

According to Lyman on his most recent podcast, he gets the bones of the code - modes, sub modes, wizard modes, audio, visual placeholders, then he tweaks the rules and modes, then his final phase is adding and polishing - light shows, add, audio etc

I’m more than confident we will see more lighting effects added, more audio and video tweaks.

I suspect 1.00 means roadmap = 100%, but he'll return to it to tweak it in the future as he normally does. Just don't expect any major content added past 1.0.

Boom

rd

So this appears to be more fit and finish rather than anything new.

Now the question is - do we see one or two more releases to get to the 1.0 code which appears that it could be a Christmas present for all us BM66 owners?

Barring a new mode surprise - what’s left?

Did I miss .97?

Still hoping for bat-climb mode, more usage of the crane and a mode with the turntable locked to the TV and villains taunting you.

Pleeeeeaaase Lyman

No. It was a .02 jump

We were all praying to get Batman to 1.0 code now we want him to Slow down! Lol. I vote for an additional decimal place increment to the finish. Lol. .983

I just loaded .96 yesterday

just remembered I went to a (Lost in the 50's) car collector's 2nd last open house before selling off everything as insurance was getting insane and he had actual movie prop cars from Back to the Future and Batman 1966 series

Will let you know when I know.

We know what needs to be done, just not sure yet how we’re going to do it.

Pretty minor update for New Batman fans joining but during the Stern tour Batman was Hot on the presses building Many more and Every game including Batman have the new steel corner braces standard.

Nice one.

Hopefully they have some glue in the joints too.

Much easier to defeat Bookworm now. My strategy was to defeat Bookworm and Mr Freeze early, then get to Holy Robin wizard mode with the 5x multiplier frozen.

Awesome score and when you put it like that, it sounds easy

I'm glad some of the Minor Villains are easier now. Unfortunately, Season 2 Egghead is no longer an easy mode now that the shot after using a Gadget is frozen as the 'G' in gadget. That can't be hit with a purposeful shot from a flipper and will require lots of side-to-side action, such as a multiball to randomly hit it. I used to exploit that mode for a quick Season 2 lock in, but after 5-6 times trying now, no joy completing it.

I've had fairly decent luck hitting the G target when the ball is bouncing above the left inlanes. I do miss the roving shot though.

It figures that right after I posted, I played a game and beat Egghead. The secret is to start Egghead just before or while you're in Penguin mode. There's enough bounce off of the moving crane ball to ricochet the "G" on Gadget.

Great idea!

Lol he’s not both great guys tho

Now that Batman 66 has reached .98 coding, it is an awesome game! Quite deep coding and amazing what Lyman has done with the playfield of that table. Those people who bailed early may be regretting it. I know it was rough at first, but quite refined now and who doesn’t like Batman 66? It has universal appeal worldwide. The theme integration of that table exceeds all others in the TV/Movie genre. Call outs all by original actors. Music is original. Tons of show video. The small table TV needs improvement although. Currently a slide show that needs to have villain taunting happening instead of just a slide show. Game design after Lyman coding is a winner. Table is on the hard side though, because most all the shots are at the back of the table. I know it’s made me a much better player now.

Agreed on all points...one of my favorite games, and rooting for some type of interaction w " Villain TV"

Well said and totally agree.

I also hope we get some Villain taunting with all the clips available it could be a standout mode.

I have my shaker motor set at minimal use and have pretty much had it this way since the very beginning. After capturing a major villain, it has always shook/shaked/whatever when the cell door closes, but since the .95 update I believe, my motor does not shake when I capture Penguin. It works on all the others, but not him. Is anyone else having this problem, if it is one? If so, where do I go to report this? Also, I'm a little confused about the Lockout of Major Villians once completed. I believe I've seen this in two places in adjustments and I've just left it set on default. I thought once a major villain is captured, they are locked out and you don't play them again? If anyone can clarify, I'd greatly appreciate it! I haven't been on here in quite a while...are there any other adjustments that should be changed from default to make it better? @MKPin, I'm still missing the stacked villains setting, but I thought I saw something about a "stack" game adjustment recently. Thanks everyone!

picked up a NIB Premium today and was happy and then sad....

A few dial in and correct items (non straight tournament button and plunger assembly) plus a few items that can't be fixed but feel it not acceptable for $12.5k AUD spend.

- the screen printing and clear is bubbling along the apron line on both sides of the apron about 2inches / 50mm on both sides - plus other bulges around posts - is this a new thing? - heard Tommy had it on a Iron Maiden
- a bit of a decal ripple on the side of the cabinet below the flipper about an inch in diameter
- and the ball guide up near the top in-lanes has a blank hole is this supposed to be secured - not a huge drama but not happy with the other 2 items.

Might need pics to see if any of this is normal? Doesn't sound like it is. May have had a bumpy ride on the ship. So sad you had a poor first impression I hope they make it right for you quick.

stacking multiple major villains is not possible anymore since a certain update
