Hi All. Finally managed to find myself a LW3 (in UK). My all time favourite since playing it far too much in the early 90's.

I've had a few teething problems with it since transporting it home in the car, but think it's bedding in now.

I'm sure I'll have lot of questions to ask you guys over the years, but for now, just wanted to say hi.

Hi Guys. Just after a bit of advice if possible...

My LW3 got reset to factory settings yesterday, after I swapped the batteries for an NVRAM module. All fine, except for an annoying change that I can’t find mentioned anywhere in the manual.

Before the reset, the first 3 ramp shots lit extra ball, which I think is normal. Now after reset, the first 3 ramp shots give 3 million, then the next 2 ramp shots lite extra ball.

Does anyone know what adjustment might be causing this? Is it some kind of difficulty setting? It’s not a bit problem, but when you’re used to something, it’s a bit disconcerting!

Thanks

Quoted from AlexRogan84:

As far as I know, there's not an exact setting for this. It is related to how well you're playing and have earned those extra balls. Get the extra ball more often and eventually it offers it to you less often. There are various settings for replays, extra balls and the like and it seems to come out of a combination of those. I've never figured out which one directly controls the ramp extra ball award. Mine had always given it out on the 3rd shot, then sometimes it went to the 7th and then the other day it came on the 17th. It seems to also change more depending on whether you're running Free Play or not.

Thanks for the advice. I'll take another look at the settings and play around with a few options. The percentage adjustments do confuse me. Not sure whether a high or a low percentage is more generous?
