Quoted from jfh:The option is U 10. in the new menu system for a custom logo and U 11. for a custom attract mode message.
Both are documented on page 1-47 in the Cactus Canyon Remake manual (though it is currently missing some detail).
The FAQ will be updated when I have pictures from a CCr in the above maintenance screens.
The official online version of the manual is not available yet but will be linked in the FAQ when it is. More key info from the manual will be in the FAQ soon.
Is the manual available online at this time?
Edited: Not sure how to delete post but I see the answer now in the FAQ - thanks!
Quoted from vikeking27:Every day checking inbox and spam folder for that invoice… never wanted to pay so much money so bad!
More like every hour!
Quoted from EZ-Rhino:Agreed. I ordered my SE in early November and I'm still waiting like many here... so I agree it's highly unlikely to get delivery in 4 weeks if you just placed an order. Then again, depending on machine allocation and where you are on the distributor's list you may get lucky Here's to hoping...
My understanding is about 100 SEs have been produced with a possible production hang-up currently due to supply chain issues. There are a handful of smaller distributors and retailers claiming their SE allotments will be available imminently; but also a lot of people (myself included) with Oct/Nov orders still waiting for their distributors to have machines available from CGC.

Quoted from jfh:Butch gave a phenomenal presentation and the twitch.tv video is practically perfect. Really doesn’t make sense for me to do what I planned.
If you have ordered a Cactus Canyon or thinking about it take an hour and watch this:

Sometime in the next week or so I will update the FAQ with the highlights.
Was there an official announcement of the upgrade kit? No but most of what we expected was confirmed.
Did Lyman and Josh have the entire roadmap finished? Yes, though not everything was fleshed out in detail.
Could we see the kit later this year? That is a realistic possibility.
I’ll add more this weekend after I clarify whether I can comment on some items.
Thanks for all the great work keeping us updated!

Quoted from Jhiggins623:In case some of you missed it here is a seek peek of the mirrored back glass from Planetary pinball.
480p?? I've seen better bigfoot videos! Glad it looks like the backglass is ready, though!
Quoted from jfh:That was only the proof. PPS has gone radio silent on current status after saying the initial orders would ship by end of 1Q. They said they would have more to show us but that was quite a while ago.
I almost ordered the backglass from my distributor in December just so I’d have something to show while waiting for my SE. Glad I didn’t.
Quoted from Riefepeters:The rhyme or reason is based on which distributor you ordered from and when as a relative to “when” other people ordered from that same distributor . And when that distributor gets their allotment. No other “when” comparisons matter.
As a new home-use buyer the pinball sales model is intimidating and frankly feels very outdated. I pre-ordered an SE on day one and am still waiting, but have had other distributors I displayed interest with pinging me about SEs ready to ship immediately. I knew this was likely going in so thankfully I'm not terribly frustrated but it sure does make the impatience that much worse.
I can and do choose to avoid buying cars like this. There are lots of other toys/experiences out there that are make spending close to $10k much easier.
Quoted from DakotaMike:I guess the solution would just be to buy what's in stock, or at least about to ship.
Quoted from jfh:Which means “almost nothing”
(Though there seem to be a lot of Mandos available)
Yup. Odd industry and abnormal market right now.
Quoted from PinRestore:Just got an email stating my game will be produced in August.
I ordered on Jan. 26th.
What model?
https://pinside.com/pinball/market/classifieds/ad/133267
Looking at the serial on this and some other unboxing images - approaching 500 SEs shipped?

Quoted from CoolCatPinball:I feel your pain my friend. I put down a second refundable deposit with another distributor that tells me I'm first in line when they get another batch. Now, the 2 distributors can "race" to get my business. Lol. And yes, they both are aware, in not being deceptive with either one.
So who ended up winning? Original distributor or new one?
"In order to evenly distribute them across the country, they are sending them out a few at a time to each distributor instead of one getting a huge load and others nothing (we appreciate that greatly). Our first few have gone to public venues so people can play the game. " - Carolina Pinballs YouTube channel
Quoted from Yoreland:What the hell is going on with these things in transit? I even inspected this after seeing the picture of the one with the back box that was smashed at the bottom. If I only looked a little lower. Looks like it was dropped on one side causing a stress fracture on the opposite side. The plywood pallet floor was also split.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
FedEx as well? That is awful. Making me worried for my eventual delivery. Are you going to try to get a repair/replacement?

Quoted from explosiveegg:CGC has shipped around 250 games now. Unless you're in the middle of nowhere, there is a good chance a location near you has one to play. Take advantage of the Pin Map to find one and go give it a play!
Or if you are in any of the 10 western most US states! I guess we are just in the middle of nowhere (pinbal speaking at least)

Quoted from TeamUp:There are two pre drilled holes and a third bigger whole, maybe for future wires?
There are unused connectors…
Quoted from polishedball:Ok I am betting most will feel I am being petty here, but this does kinda drive me crazy. Today I decided to give the game good but quick wipe down, while doing this I noticed how beat up tarnished even rusted some of the hardware was on this new machine. Has anyone else noticed this? It is most evident on the post like those I have pictured. I would expect some stuff to get binned or alteast set aside to be be tumble polished, before being put on a new game. I have machine a 15 years old with better looking hardware from the factory.
This does not take away from the fun factor, but combined with the folded over decals (which may have a benefit) and cabinet edges not mating perfect it seems worth a mention. I hope better detail is paid to the SE+ (i have one on order) and LEs[quoted image][quoted image]
Same issue - almost of all my hex posts are super tarnished and the rubber isn’t in the best shape either.
Quoted from MadEwokHerd:Have to throw out my thanks for the mine cart mod idea. Good excuse to break out the model paints again as well.

Does the thingiverse file fit the tracks exactly as is or did you have to scale it?
Quoted from Jon9508:Surprisingly the wheels fits on the tracks without any scaling.
Crazy, it really looks it was designed just for CC! Thanks

1 rating away from hitting the top 100
Quoted from alveolus:I love CC as much as anyone but I won’t be rating it once I receive mine. A new owner rating a brand new machine they just dropped 8k+ is as biased as it gets.
Just keepin’ it real.
I have no expectations otherwise... but that's the same case with most of the other top 10
Quoted from Only_Pinball:Butch will be doing a seminar at the Northwest pinball show today 5p Pacific / 8p Eastern

The website and thread is showing 3:30 PST for the Cactus Canyon presentation
Quoted from Richard-NBA-SF2:Hoping it is available to watch later!
So far about 98% identical to the Texas presentation
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:Sure was a lot of notes on the marksman mode about shooting a cactus in the wind. I hope there is a lot more to the upgraded code than just that. Where is some of the continued code? It was noted additional hardware that would be easy to add or remove but nothing else. Saloon doors? I don’t see how that will make the game any better. It would make getting the Bart Bros harder but really nothing else here. Give us some more meat CGC.
Pretty sure the shooting a cactus in the wind is the marksman mode in the current new code

I just noticed the leg crimping problem on mine as well, thankfully only some very minor scratching by one of the legs.

Quoted from gorditas:I got the "Bottom Jet Bumper" adjusted. The mine and the VUK diverter had to come off. It was tight with the waterfall bridge on, but with a leaf tool, I was able to adjust both switches.
A few pages back, someone posted about the ball ejecting from the mine not going into the pops: check the sensitivity of these switches. It made a big difference on my machine.
[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Didn’t even realize it was supposed to go in the pops! Will have to adjust

Quoted from Ivanhoe:I had this problem once, it was a doorway in a cement block wall (basement). Cut that wall open and made a 36” door. Never had that problem again.
Fit through my ~30" doorway just barely with a moving blanket around it. Don't know if that helps

Quoted from jfh:I am running out of space again in the FAQ and am looking at removing/significantly reducing the “My game is here!” section.
It was written specifically for those for whom CCr is their first NIB game. Most info is in the manual, the setup sheets or old hat to those who have done it before. For those getting their first new game - was it useful enough to keep?[quoted image]
This section was actually really helpful - the playfield inspection and removal of packaging may be a bit redundant and is clearly marked in the box so may be worth removing if needed for space.

Always nice seeing this thread back on track and not just page after page of complaints. The gun metal looks fantastic in latest pictures. Can’t wait for more details/rumors on the update kit.

Quoted from Pinbalz:Just curious, which shipping company are you all receiving your games by? Have one on order and wondering how the to door process goes. Never had one delivered NIB to my residence. Only to a terminal and picked up or picked up at factory. Do they bring it inside? Drop at curb?
This is the fourth game in a series of Bally/Williams remakes produced by Chicago Gaming Company.
Mine was FedEx freight... they are only supposed to drop at the curb but most drivers should be helpful or if not enticed by $20 to help bring it up from the road.

Quoted from Swoods5688:Has there been any word on when this new code is supposed to be released…. Now that LE’s are shipping on the regular I’m hoping we will see that coming. Maybe Texas?
I cannot wait. Hoping we get some more teasers sooner rather than later, especially if the timeline on this is going to be extended.

Quoted from GCS2000:Train tracks - I know from reading this thread were more than one to chose from has it been settled that the mezel mods set is the one to get?
I just upgraded from mezel to back alley and the back alley tracks are significantly better. Mezel is three pieces 3d printed, challenging to fit together and didn’t quite fit my game. The included nuts kept loosening during gameplay and tracks detached from each and fell onto the playfield several times.
Back alley is one piece, appears to be resin cast and hand painted, fits the game perfectly and includes lock-nuts. There’s no comparison.
(Mezel seems like a great company, they just fell short with this one)
