Everybody has that luxury. It’s a luxury item by definition. Nobody has their money locked up right now. Buy another pin and play it. Sell it for similar price when the le ships. Nobody needs to cry poverty when buying a $9000 game.

Again, I’m just shocked by the negativity considering we’ve ALL seen this play out SO many times. It’s just unnecessary drama imo.

You’re seriously sounding like a broken record on this. But you’re not the only one.

Just hit 52 bad guys! What a Showdown! Very much loving this game.

I just joined the sheriff's posse with an NIB SE -- to be delivered next week. For me, it was better than buying a 24-year-old original, if you can find one. I was hoping to see more happy SE owners in this thread. This is a great remake that is available now, albeit in limited quantities. I'm also hoping CGC can deliver on its warranty if I ever need it.

We're in here. CGC has been very responsive to the issues I've had. Ignore the negative junk (literal option with a click) and have fun. If pinball causes strife in your life, you're doing it wrong. Feel free to reach out with a PM if you can't find an answer with a search, I'm happy to help any way I can.

Good things come to those who wait.

The LE is going to surprise and AMAZE !

Thanks for extending a helpful hand. I have enjoyed the hobby as much as the challenges it brings. I'll be visiting this club regularly.

If only CGC would change the tune…

Do we know when some games are gonna be imported in Canada? Are we still waiting on a sticker?

Thx

Nah....just the way they're built...although I guess dreams are free

Is pinball a luxury? Hmmm I just assumed it was a nice to have for home entertainment....many people are not in a situation to own or buy a lot of games and budget for a titlel.

my CCr recently started awarding the skill shot before plunging sometimes. sometimes it scores points, sometimes not. is there a particular switch that determines when it is awarded, or is it the lane switch when it drops, or any switch hit will do? will look into switch test tomorrow (assume there is one) but thought I'd ask here on this first.

thanks

I believe if a company is going to require deposits they take on some responsibility to provide at least some kind of ongoing communication.. Not wanting to post on pinside isn’t an excuse, there are plenty of other ways to communicate with customers. To be clear, I have zero interest in canceling my order and am willing to wait…I have full faith CGC will provide another exceptional game. It would just be nice if we were provided with some kind of update every once in a while. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

My topper is complete! Now I just need the game to mount it to. Just waiting for leg-gate to work itself out before I pick one up. If anyone is interested in a topper without the character let me know. I can’t SELL the character because CGC asked me nicely not to, but I do have a few other ideas that can replace the bandit.

That’s really cool…I wish someone would make something like that for Attack From Mars. CGC should make static toppers for CCR and AFM for non LE/SE+.

The lower induction switch on the bank ramp awards the skill shot. I was having phantom switch hits on the induction switch on my river ramp which seemed to be triggered by any of the coils going off. One of the solder joints looked pretty suspect so I re-soldered the wires to it and haven't had an issue since but the bank ramp looks like it might be harder to get access to.

Here is the Mr Pinball Australia Fix, see pictures of an original Williams leg and the new leg, looks like maybe the press pushed it in a bit to much spreading it out, easy 2min fix see pictures.

Can it really be that easy? I thought from what others had described in this thread, the newer legs have been pressed/crimped too tightly, resulting in the leg being over bent, which cuts into the cabinet and damaging the decals. Putting the leg in the vice and squeezing would bent it inwards even further wouldn't it? Unless I'm missing something very obvious of course.

well we compared an older leg to a newer leg and that was the difference, i think being wider made it stick out further, looks like a simple fix

I really have been enjoying my CCr. I also have been enjoying tweaking things so it plays better. Here's the 3rd installment in this ongoing video series. Enjoy

I’m currently having this same issue

My se arrived earlier this week & I'm currently having a couple minor issues. The first is that the cliffy in the drain hole sometimes causes the ball to get stuck & not drain. Anyone else have this issue & if so, what have you done to resolve it?
The second issue is switch #65 (R ramp make) doesn't register during gameplay. When I physically move a ball over it in switch test, I can get it to register intermittently. Any adjustability to these sensors? I haven't checked the solder joints yet, but I'll open it up & have a look this weekend.

Thanks, I'll check that out for sure.

Cliffy at the drain issue, yes. I just slightly bump the machine it happens so rarely. If it gets bad, I plan on removing the cliffy. It's a drain hole ffs, I don't care if it gets dinged up. Lol. I'm not sure about adjusting any switches

The real fix (if keeping the protector) is probably to remove the protector temporarily, and file down the edge where the ball gets stuck. They are just too thick. In the meantime, I mylared a guitar pick in the area where I kept getting stuck balls to effectively do the same thing, as it is the same thickness on average, but has a sharper edge. It can't be seen during gameplay. I'll fix it permanently when I have that area apart again

As for the eddy current switch, it seems that bad solder joints are the most common issue.

I wasn't aware that CGC was using actual "Cliffy" protectors? I thought they made their own?

They are not Cliffy's. Seems any metal protector gets called that now.

They are not "cliffys" but the same concept. I actually like the CGC design drain protector over the Cliffy design. It has more protection around the entire hole.

Do you have one on order?

Thats what I thought !

already have our SE and waiting on the LE

but thanks for asking!

Pretty accurate...

At least you have the SE to play! I'm jealous

With the game turned off you might try reseating the connector for it.

LTG : )

Can someone please tell me where the USB port is located on CCR se ?

There isn't one. If you are looking to update your game or put an image on the lower part of the screen. You stick a micro SD card in the top of the beagle board in the backbox.

Red arrow points to one in already.

LTG : )

Thanks for the photo LTG. I think that’s a USB right next to the SD slot.

If anyone is interested in the Brian Allen Acrylic Limited Edition Backglass for CCR message me. I’m selling mine, I received the mirrored back glass and gonna stick with that.

Good call.

It looks like a USB Micro port. I'm assuming the other person was looking for a USB A port like is found on Sterns.

thanks for this point in the right direction. the sensor was actually pretty easy to get out, 2 small screws from above into the board and slide it out the side. one of the wires to the ground connection (I believe) was barely attached, so reflowed/attached that one and it seems to have taken care of the issue.

If I recall correctly from when I took out the speaker panel assembly that's a micro-HDMI port for the display.

What builds bonus in this game?

2 catcus roller overs. I believe

Both top rollovers builds Bonus X.

To build the bonus value (and anyone can correct me if I’m wrong) I think just about everything helps.

You start with 100K bonus to start. Ramps, stand ups, orbits, pop ups, will all add a few grand to the total. Major achievements will really help. Like I think beating the train mode right away and then draining makes your bonus around 400K. But if you plunge, hit a few stand ups, maybe a ramp and whatnot, and drain will leave you with like ~115K bonus

You are correct. My MMR has a usb to the left of the Mini hdmi on the other side of the board so it’s out of view - they must have removed it for CC

How is the code on CC remake, is it as good as AFM, MB, MM? I know there is a Lyman update in the future but just curious about the current code?

He has one, derp.
