I have my kit installed and it worked from the first time I pushed "start" without any issues except for a switch situation that was causing a trough problem that looked like a software problem...but it wasn't.

I have 2 questions of any owners out there including Scott:

1- I have ordered and tried two different "smart strips" and neither one will work. Nope, not operator error...works with other than the computer hooked in. For those who do not know what a smart strip is, it senses when the computer is shut down and turns off other AC lines--- in this case, the amp and the LCD. It does the opposite when you turn the game on. Soooo... for anyone who has a smart strip installed that works, where did you get it and what brand is it?

2- If I run 1.9 or the original game, the helmet lights chase as they should. Once I run the updates - 1.91 or 1.92, the chase lights act funny. What is funny? They light in a different pattern (or no pattern) and random ones will light during ball locks when they should all be doing something else or be off. They in short do not chase properly. I don't think it can be the game because, like I wrote, 1.9 runs them fine as does the original game version (from the computer).

Anyone?

thanks in advance for any help

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I did report this to DP support a few weeks ago and yourself (via pm) and I got a reply from you that you would check and see what yours is doing...never heard back from DP support though. So does your have this issue?

Glad to have info on the smart strips. One I bought had an adjustment, the other did not, neither would work correctly.

thanks, Brad

a few weeks ago vi

No worries. I made 4 short videos and happy to make more-- and longer ones. Kept them short as I was not sure how I was going to post them when I took them. I have incandescent lamps in the helmet.
I don't know what to look for as a fix since the helmet chases quite nicely in 1.9, not 1.91 or 1.92. The "progress bar effect" works fine in 1.9 but not the others as well. This is the effect where the helmet lights act as a progress bar when the software is loading.

Holler if you want more video.

Thanks for suggesting BELKIN smart strip. After purchasing 2 other brands with no success, the Belkin (which I could not find available online anymore) from my cocktail mame worked dandy in the BOP and all is now well with that.

Still have issues with the helmet lights, a fellow BOP 2.0 friend is bringing his controller board over on Wednesday so we will see what we will see.

"Bug" below will be reported to "support":
1.92
Multiball
2 balls drain close to same time
third ball is shot to shuttle ramp to mouth
head turns
ball drops into cabinet
This is during countdown to hit scoop to restart multiball
Suggest writing code to divert ball to PIN-BOT area BEFORE head turns.

thanks, Brad
