When the ringmaster 'grabs' the ball, is it grabbing it in front of the screw, or behind?

P.s. A common problem w/the ringmaster is the harness breaking inside. I replaced mine when I had the game and that fixed all. Odd chances though that by changing Rom that may have occurred.

Not a software issue, it's something else. 2.0H treats the RM magnet 'tossing' the same as previous versions. In fact, the 'magnet stuck' bug is still there in v2.0H where when hitting the 'WOW' targets, the magnet may get 'stuck' on until a ball search is performed.

Not sure why changing the ROM would have affected this - except maybe this - don't hit/hold both flipper buttons when the RM's doing his speil - it will 'cancel' his speil and simply drop the ball. For it to fling off, he has to be able to go through the whole 'animation'/show.

Check all your feature adjustments, the 2.0 Rom adds some new settings although I don't remember if they are specific to the RM ball grab other than the "Flippers abort all animations" settings that Coyote mentioned.

The home rom CV I have at my place currently does the same thing. Ball just dribbles off, rather than the fling off I remember from my old CV. I just assumed it was a setting to minimize breakage from randomly flying balls.

I have a CV with the Home rom and My ringmaster flings the ball. One thing what base is on his head. Are you one with a Protector on your ringmaster with the special top? Do you have the original top?
Just something to look at.
You may need to try changing your magnet.

Same my cv 2.0 flings the ball. Not a sw issue.

The one I've got definitely has a non-standard top & even ring master head. But it's not mine, so I'm not going to mess with it.

I have 2.0, mine is a mix between dribble and some pretty dramatic flings (mostly dribble though).

I put a piece of mylar over the screw that holds the magnet to the head as to not scar my balls...cause I hate that The mylar caused the ball to just roll off and not "stick" to the magnet. I removed the mylar and it worked normally again. Hope this helps

whthrs166 - Just curious to know how you came out with the fixing of the flinging of the ball on your CV. I'm having the same issue with 2.0 rom installed.

Was wondering if anybody had any luck with this. I just picked up a CV over the weekend and everything seems to work except for this. Would greatly appreciate any insight anybody has on this.

my circus voltaire ringmaster cord to the magnet and flasher was taught and reducing his wobble and throws.

I figured this out a while ago but figured I would resurrect this thread just in case there is someone down the road that has this issue and it left scratching their head like I was. Before you go replacing harnesses and changing your ROMs, look at the screw on the top of the Ringmaster's head. The fix for mine was PAINFULLY simple, but not at all obvious to me. Somewhere down the road somebody did some work on the Ringmaster on my machine and replaced the factory screw with a regular flat headed screw. The screw that the game comes with (not mentioned anywhere in the parts list that I could find) is a round headed non-magnetized screw. I reached out to Revolutionary Pinball as they sell a kit to protect the Ringmaster hole that comes with a screw and they were nice enough to send me the screw and VOILA, the Ringmaster throws the ball around just like she is supposed to. I figure it is a long shot that this happens to someone else but just in case it does, you can now buy a replacement Ringmaster screw directly from Revolutionary Pinball.
