I think it would work the same as the green mirror.

The fix I liked the sound of the best was to use a yellow light to shine onto the blue hologram to hopefully turn it more green. Logic seems good.

Swapped the pops over to teal and lit them yesterday. Took longer than expected due to the rear left corner being a pita to reassemble/disassemble.

If not familiar with the machine you wouldn’t notice the change. Just wired into GI as per most pins of the period.

Beautiful!

It’s SO necessary tho. Not necessarily the teal swap (although mine are too, lol) but lighting the pops... it really brightens up the whole game! I’ve done this mod on both of my Creatures and I can’t imagine ithe game without anymore. When I see a non modded one I’m like, ewww.

Found a picture of when I did the gen 1 Thompson mod and put in the CPR mirrored speaker plastic. Hoping CPR reruns these.

So my lit tail lights come on full brightness when I turn the game on, then slowly dim after time on, with small outside ones going out. Guessing a leaky capacitor?

Haven't taken it apart yet...anyone been there before?

Possibly. I haven't had an issue with mine yet. I know this isn't your issue, but for others, they do dim/bright in pairs on the cars to simulate a car braking and stopping. Then go out and come back on. Mine always did this and assume it was for effect.

there is a block of dip switches on the backside of the board. there is one switch (and it may be the only one that jeff programmed for) that does exactly what dmacy described

you can either have the lights come on, brighten and then fade out (in pairs) or set it to have all of the brake lights stay on all the time. I'm not sure which dip switch does this (it's been quite a while since I looked at it). it might be documented in the assembly instructions

OP,

yep, I knew it was something. it's a jumper, not a dip switch (and I thought that more than one was there, but again I could be wrong since I haven't looked at it in quite a while

Man...pinside rocks!!! this pattern is quite repeatable and consistent, so could very well be the "dimming" effect mentioned. I will dive in the threads tonight for a better look.....thanks again....mark

closed the loop here...investigated, and sure enough, the jumper was pulled to one side, disconnected from other lead, causing the outside ones to dim after awhile. reconnected jumper, and all solid.....kinda like it that way for now. Knowing it's working right, I might experiment with both options to see which one looks best for me over time..love this game....thanks again!!!!

CPR has a new business model, I asked in that thread if they would re-run this. Never heard back. Id suggest others reach out to them, if demand they'll re-run.

Anybody using the chase change module from RS technologies? looks pretty cool, just wondering some other takes on it...

link?

Just did the best two snack bar shots I ever made on this game (well, I watched them go in, anyway). I start the "find the girl" mode and wind up putting both balls into the bumpers. Ball one comes down, bounces off the left sling and trickles into the snack bar. Girl found. Ball two was immediately behind it, having followed the same exact path and speed (what are the odds?). Jackpot!

Love this game!!!!

On Sunday I hit the right Ramp 12 times and then snack bar, first time I ever started super scoring mode. The startup sequence is awesome!!!

I love CFTBL but I fear it hates me... No sooner do I get to finally see the Creech and a multi-ball and its drain city. Dam you creech!

Anyone got a taillight speaker light mod for sale?

Any feedback on pinsound upgrade for creech

I’m interested in a pinsound too since my crèech has no sound

I'm working on a solution to get the third ball into play for multiball. Is anybody interested in this? Has it already been done and I'm re-inventing the wheel?

Yeah, the original designers did it and took it out. If you could add a third ball, that would be cool.

Awesome very interested

I’d be willing to check it out. It’s in like a home brew rom?

I have the Pinsound Board in my Creature and its a game changer. The music available on the community forum is fantastic. Only problem is the "move your car" call out - needs to be the original rather than the rerecorded one.

I agree. The pinsound board is a must for this game. I love the Wool mix and I crank it up when I play. The re recorded callouts are a little cheesy, but I'm still extremely happy with it. I've added flipper fidelity speakers and an external polk subwoofer and it blows the doors of my game room. Love it. Plus, you can use the pinsound editor to change up the music if you like.

Add to cart i guess

As well as the sounds, which means you could re-introduce the "Move Your Car" call-out from the original sound list.

Watch the video and pause at the 0:41 mark. He states that sequence 9 is a cycle of sequences 0 through 8.

It would either be that, a mechanical solution or a Raspberry Pi interface. The last would be funny since I already have one in the game for MikeD's mod.

I already feel claustrophobic when I have a 2-ball multi going. I couldn't possibly do 3

Like many other players have expressed here, my 2 ball multiball experience is over far too quickly...

yes I would be interested as well

Just add logic for a ball save. that'll remedy most short lived multiballs

Unfortunately, the original call outs are such poor quality, it would sound really strange next to the high quality music. That's one thing the re recorded call outs have going for them.

NPO is correct. Switch position 9 will cycle through sequences 0-8. This cycling is easily seen in attract mode when the chase lights are repeatedly all turned on, turned off, turned on sequencing. After the turn on sequencing state, the software will transition to the next sequence. This cycling of sequences continues through game play.

Yes, the cost of my board is on the high side, but I only did a small manufacturing run (no economy of scale).

Strictly my opinion, but in this game I think multiball is pretty well done. The first thing I like about it is that the frequency is about right. You have to earn it (spell FILM, then make a shot to start the feature). I'm not a fan of pins where multiball is too easy to start and happens too frequently. The second thing I like is that it's not a flail-fest. There are only two balls. That gives you some semblance of control on a playfield layout that is fairly tight... and you need that control because you can't afford to lose a ball... and if you do, it's not super difficult to restart.

Wow you made that sound so easy.

Since I suck, I figure if I had an extra ball I could try and throw one up the ramp and the other into the bumpers, then maybe have enough time to find the girl with the third ball before losing the first two...

A ball save on a game without an auto plunger would be really clunky. For it to be smooth, a ball would need to be parked in a scoop so that the game could inform you that the ball was available to be plunged, which is what already exists with the restart.

Pinsound, with the wool mix is awesome. Yes, it would have been nice to have the original call outs. However, I don’t even notice it anymore. His music mix works well with the theme. I love the Link Wray “Rumble” when it starts for the video fight. It will put a big smile on your face.

Funny I have had mine since new and I also put a Mike D mod in mine. I did not like the mod so I removed mine and put the hologram back in.

I really liked the video, and mod looks extremely " oem"....might have to give it a whirl.....play this game ALL the time...thanks for doing this!!!
