Restoring a Black Knight. I've been tinkering with the game adjustment settings and was looking for a way to make multi-ball more challenging, as the game begins with the lock shot already enabled. I saw function 37 in the manual called "Multi-Ball Difficulty" with settings 00 = Liberal and 01 = Moderate. I tried turning it to moderate (from the default of liberal) and as near as I can tell it just turns off the ability to lock balls altogether. Am I missing something here, or does this setting still allow for multi-ball locking but requires that you first meet some other in-game condition to turn the locks on?

I've scoured the 'net and I've found no reference anywhere to what this setting means as far as how it affects the game play.

Anyone got a clue?

Thanks!

With it on moderate you need to shoot the turnaround on the lower playfield to light your locks. Way better this way imo

Ugh, horrible this way. Even worse with the "get each drop bank down once" to light them.

All lit, all the time. That's kind of the point of BK. No arcade when I was growing up had BK set to anything other than locks lit at all times. If they did I wouldn't have played it, especially at 50¢ a pop!

Locks always lit mean you're always in multiball. Game never ends.

That isn't even an option.

Thanks zacaj, that was it. I also have to agree with you that there's way too much multiball with locks always lit. Once you get good at what I call the 'jug handle' shot, you can hit the lock 3 times in a row by deflecting the ball off the top right flip on a plunge and making the jug handle. Rinse and repeat.

Can you still lock all 3 up top on moderate, or do you need to lock 2 up top and one below?

You can lock all 3 up top.
