Looks like the main description is wrong on the webpage, but it is correct one stating 26 pin in the body of the ad. I'll email Marco about it.

Oops... I forgot that my Pinball Magic is out on loan. Might be a bit tough getting to my friends house to look into other possible sound issues. Was there something you touched earlier to make the sound come on?

No, sound never came on. Don't trouble yourself, I wont be turning back on until new ribbon cable gets here. But I have been Googling the hell outta "Capcom pinball no sound" and have yet to find anything worth a shit.

It's the fact that they break so easily. The wiring to the sockets is horrible. I replaced them.

So no sound but been playin this all night. Haven't taken glass off for shots yet (yes I took off and cleaned pf goddamnit) but everything seems to be ok. All drops and scoops functioning. Was worried about center post/saucers but so far so good.
This machine rules!

I love my breakshot... Still haven't gotten mine 100% yet... I have an issue with the kicker and the bankshot switches... I think I'm just going to replace them, as I think its metal fatigue as I can get them to work just fine for about 8-15 minutes... But, then they stop working and need to be adjusted again... Or worse, they'll work sometimes and then not... It's just the switch isn't being pressed down fully... So I am hoping new switches will fix that...

I do have one more minor issue... My machine sometimes restarts after its been on and playing for like 5-15 minutes... Doesn't happen everytime... And once it restarts I can play it for 30-90 minutes without it restarting on me again... Is this something I should worry about... Or is it no big deal.

Does the sound board led blink at all?

There’s diagnostic codes for it.

Dio if you read through this thread you will see, as many have pointed out, that the capacitors on power board are GIGANTIC and too heavy for the vertically mounted board. When they start to loosen, the game resets. But you bring up a valid point. Are there swappable capacitors that are smaller? Since 2 of mine were replaced at some point, I'm "guessing" yes. Not sure. Will defer that question to someone more familiar with Capcom.

Thanks Boat. Yes, it blinks. I ran the "reset sound board?" diagnostic and it said this:

On a good note, all switches are working and only a few lights out.

How many times does the LED on the sound board blink, pause then repeats?

It is a constant pulse. No pausing. Just a steady blinking.

Hmm super odd, pasting the sound board bulletin just in case.

Good find, Boat. I'll need to throw that in with my PM manual for future reference.

Later I'll try to figure out how to take a short vid of sound board. Right now it's hot moms in yoga pants time.

Help! Need some good pics of the Power Driver Board wiring from a good working game. Started a topic on it here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/breakshot-pd-board-wiring-issue#post-4363122

The new phonebooks are here!

Marco is fast!

Here is a Breakshot promo trade show hat:

Just joined the club. Is there breakshot custom rule cards out there anywhere. I google searched the normal places but came up empty.

Welcome! not that I know of. I have asked my wife to add it to her list of projects. Don't hold your breath!

Actually I found one.

Yes, I brought this old dog back to life as well. There was a time that I actually considered cutting my losses but glad I stuck with it. It had a lot of problems and the person before me seemed to be in over their head....put a lot of things back together incorrectly which made things more difficult than they should have been...ugh. I still have a few little things to do and have an order in with Marco to finish things off but I'm playin'! Glad I was able to do this game justice and put it back into circulation...there aren't that many of them out there.

Added LEDs to the GI today. I might go back to incandescent bulbs. The game suits them.

Printing custom cards tomorrow.

Try Sunlight leds from Comet. Very close to incandescent.

Sorry if I'm doubling up on a previous post but what ROM version are most guys running? I see a Beta 1.05 and but not sure if it's worth trying?

I actually spoke with Clive about my game rebooting and was going to send my board in to him but he convinced me to first try the wick trick to connect the front and back traces for the capacitors. He was very busy and was sure my problem was because the capacitors had delaminated and were only intermitently connecting causing reboots. After spending most of the day carefully fixing my board, it worked like a charm! Here's a link with detailed instructions on what I did for those who are interested: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/capcom-breakshot-capacitor-fix

I'm 1.3 which I think is the newest Rom.

I have 1.3 as well.

Chris

So I have 1.5 and have noticed the sound bite for extra ball is missing, might be a few others missing, maybe I should get 1.3? Or is the problem in a sound rom? Anybody have any idea?

IMG_1005 (resized).JPG

Sounds like 1.3 is the ROM that's the most stable. I'll burn that one when I get a chance. It has the matching Sound ROM as well I presume?

The v.B.1.5 appears you are running the beta version. Marco shows v1.3 as the latest game ROM and v1.1 sound ROMs.
http://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/950?S_CAT1=ELEC

There should be printed labels on your sound ROMs so you should be able to tell what you currently have installed.

Does B1.5 have the cutthroat countdown high score board? I know my older version did not. I am rolling 1.3 now and it does.

sunlight should be nowhere close to incandescent.

If someone in Europe is intrested ... I sell my BS with clearcoated playfield in perfect condition for 3300 Euro.

I'll try this again as I already posted but didn't register for some reason??

What is the purpose of the Redemption and why does version 1.2 seem to be dedicated to it??

CT's retro's were the closest LED to incandescent I could find. I put them in my EM's. They are not perfect but, work.

Mine is running 1.0. is there a difference?
And is it worth upgrading?
Opinions?
Thanks.
This pin is great. It doesn't get the credit it deserves. Having a blast playing it.

Which chip or what is running 1.0? The game rom is at 4, but there is a sound, and display rom as well. Alll my boards are out for repair or I’d boot the game and see where you can tell

All my chips have 1.0.0 stickers. Supposedly it was a huo game, audits have low plays. Not sure if it's true but it does look like it is.
Game is minty.

May upgrade the ROMs if it's worth it. Or it adds anything.

Oh sorry wrong thread, I thought this was baywatch. I’m not sure what rom version is best but 1.3 is on ipdb

http://www.ipdb.org/search.pl?any=Breakshot&search=Search+Database&searchtype=quick#3784

I downloaded the 1.3 ROMs from ipdb. No change log though. Does anyone know what the actual differences are from 1.0 to 1.3.

Still wondering if I should upgrade?

Standup Problem:
I haven't seen this posted yet so I'll ask it here. Behind the each set of drop-targets is a single standup target. When I knock down all the drop-targets, the standups don't register once they are hit...and I tried manually pushing them firmly as well. I know they're registering as I am able to easily trigger them in the Diagnostics Switch Test. Any ideas...is it a EPROM thing...I'm running the version 1.0.

During play the game won't register a stand up target hit unless it knows all the drop targets are down. Sounds like a switch problem on the drop target bank.

Hmmm...never thought of that. I presumed they were all working as I just replaced all my targets and noticed the DMD animation when hitting a drop target, but you're right, it would only take 1 switch in each bank to fail throwing everything out of whack. I'm going to check that at lunch...thanks for the direction IN_Pins.

Solved:
Yes, there were a couple of broken wires on the Drop-Targets. Of course you have to knock them all down before the Standup Targets will register so stands to reason why my Standups didn't work in game play but worked in the Switch Test.

Kind of a simple problem but it had me stumped. Thanks for providing the direction on where to look first, IN_Pins.

Hi. I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this?

I have 1.0.0 ROMs and the ferrite ring service bulletin is done.

I still sometimes get the odd "slam" on power up.
A quick power cycle and it's fine. And other times it boots right away.

Is this a old code issue. Or a problem somewhere else?

Suggestions?
Thanks, Eric.

That does not sound like a code issue.
Is your slam switch contacts too close on the coin door? I would spread the leaf switch out to be sure.
You can even go into the switch edge test and tap on the coin door to see if it registers and to see if any random switches register after a few minutes.

Thanks for the reply.

It's not a contact issue whatsoever. It's the slam error on power up that is a known factory bug issue.
Just to be sure even before doing the service mod. Itested all the switches. And checked for any grounding issues.

There is a service bulletin to fix this. I installed the ferrite ring and it's not every time now. Maybe 1 out of 5 times I turn it on. So It did solve the problem intermittent.

But it still happens sometimes when I turn the game on. But it was happening every time on power up. And took a few tries, before I did the bulletin.
Now if it happens, one quick on/off and it's fine.

I'm just wondering if they maybe fixed this in 1.3 code?

I service 2 Breakshots for my friends, which their games have v1.0 and never have experienced this issue at power up.

Put the game in switch edge test and let it set for 30 minutes and come back to see if it registered any random intermittent switches. I had to do this on my Pinball Magic to track down an intermittent issue I had in the game. Turned out I had intermittent connectors at J6, J7, J9 at the CPU board on the .100" wired connectors. I was able to wiggle the wires there and cause the issue more often.

All mechs, sound board, and 1 drive board is spoken for. I have one more power driver board that I will likely be posting on the market once I test it.

Pm sent. My Breakshot has actually been turning on first try this week. Normally it's 3-5 tries before it boots. So it plays, just no sound still. I just haven't really played anything but Maiden and ACDC lately.

Gonna buy that sound board, but Boat told me my no sound issue could also be sound roms.
Anyway I can test the roms to see?
I do have a multimeter and I'm only slightly afraid to use it.
