Hey Guys,

Enjoying finally playing my new Back to the Future pin that I recently bought and cleaned up a bit. I factory reset the machine after the cleaning and as I am a new owner. I've played a few games but have NOT been able to input my initials for the high score...

I thought doing a factory reset would clear those out...or is there like a minimum score before being allowed to enter your initials?

Thanks for the help! I figure this is something easy I am just not seeing.

All great info! Thanks a lot....just gotta keep playing!

I was able to lower the default high scores to lower values, however I still am not getting what I am expecting. Maybe it’s by design, maybe there’s a setting?

I want to be able to keep adding the highest score, not waiting to get to the next minimum.

Let’s say me and dan are playing and I score 1,000,000 points and get the high score. Then dan comes in and he gets 1,000,200 points. I want him to be the high score and me to be in second place. Instead, it only will keep dans name up and my score isn’t even showing up.

I also read through the manual percentaging but I don’t fully understand it...

Thanks
Jim

Ok yeah I had thought about that...just didn't know if there was a more direct way to do it. Like overriding all of those steps. But doing that makes sense. Ill give it a shot. Thank you!

Jim

Ok that seemed to do the trick. Now it’s behaving as I had expected it too.

But on a side note...what is a “loop back champ”?

I see there is default initials with a loop back score of 7. However I cannot find this in the manual.

Ah ok. This makes sense. I have the BTTF machine. I’m just surprised that it seems like this is the only score you cannot change to a lower value. Hmmm.

I agree...I'm just new to all of this Pinball stuff so I just wasn't sure and wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks guys!

Had another question while fooling around with the settings. Wanted to award extra balls instead of credits.

Then while playing I had wondered if there is a way to turn off the high scores and just keep the world record score.

I basically just want to see one high score to beat, and that’s it. Right now there is a world record score followed by 5 high scores.

Is there a way to remove the high scores and keep the world record score? Or at the very least keep the world record score and just the number 1 high score?

I looked through the manual and if it’s there I may have misunderstood the setting.

This is for Data East Back to the Future.

Thanks!
Jim

Yeah I thought so since I just could not find a setting...but thought I was overlooking something. Thank you!

Jim

I’m not worried about beating it. I just wanted it to be the only score to worry about. Since really only me and a buddy play it’s weird to have our initials 5 different times. I just wanted to see if only the highest score could be displayed and that’s it.
