anyone anything?

He's referring to installing Comet's upgrade kit, which includes everything you need: https://www.cometpinball.com/products/deadpool-general-illumination-upgrade-kit

I recently did the same (you can see my before & after pics a few pages back), and it makes a massive difference. In my opinion swapping out the red & clear white GI bulbs is just as or more important than the spotlights.

Here's my best attempt:

- From time to time the machine does not start, what can i do?
A: Start with checking the switch, work your way back from there. Look what is in the same switch matrix and check those.

- I have had one game restart during gameplay.
A: No idea without any further information. May have something to do with the same issue as the machine not starting. Again, check start switch (for reference, holding the start button will restart a game).

- I get alot of scoop rejects, the ball goes in and somehow it jumps out again. My PF is leveled and at 6.8° pitch.
A: Check your scoop protector, then check scoop mechanism.

- I get alot of bricks at the left orbit spinner, up- and downwards
A: Test it with the glass off and by hand. Video it in slow motion to see where it is getting hung up.

- The snikt target moves over time. would such a thing help?

A: Buy an anti-sway bracket from PinballLife.

- When lil deadpool releases the ball in deadpool frenzy mode, i get center drains most of the time. there are situations ball save will not be active so I'm forced to slide- or slapsave.
A: Change to a thicker post sleeve.

Hey everyone. What is the latest code? Also in my search for a shot map, I heard theres a video that kind of explains things during attract mode. Is that available online somewhere, I tried youtube to no avail

1.02 is the current code.

No idea if anyone posted the attract mode video with the demo.

Buffalo Pinball has a nice tutorial:

To find the latest code for Sterns and the read me file for changes, always go here.

https://sternpinball.com/support/game-code/

1.03 is the code for machines with the coin door switch.

Ah, right, forgot about that release!

Thanks! I like this one, to be honest I like having right and left orbits, and thru all the pics I couldn't even tell there was a right orbit, so thanks!

Is this the best way to deal with scoop rejects because I was thinking about the coil springs someone else mentioned to lower the power. The rejects just seem to be a shot that's too fast/strong bouncing in and out.

Where is that located? I only see 1.02 on Sterns Site.

I don't think they have it available on their website... identical to 1.02, just with the interlock switch behind coin door support.

New games from late last year started shipping with 1.03. Mine has an August 22, 2019 build date and it has 1.03 code.

Does anybody know when this soundtrack plays in gameplay?

not positive but sounds like that's when u are in disco multi-ball mode.

also depends if are running the modded sound version.

Thanks!
How do I run modded sound version?

Thank you!

I only hear that when I'm adjusting the volume. It may be a sample of one of the disco modes also.

Definitely disco multi-ball. Hit the left orbit until your disco spins gets to zero and hit it again to start the mode.

Thank you!

Thank you!

TIPS? Can anyone share the best combos to get weapons? You can kinda go left and right ramps but just wondering if you're going for 100 weapons what's the preferred method?

Shoot the center spinner, then live catch. Backhand the left ramp and combo into center spinner. Repeat.

You can also try this. Shoot left ramp, hold flipper up and bump it over to the right flipper. Repeat.

If trapping up is not your thing, you can try to combo the right orbit on the fly. Sometimes I can get 3 or 4 in a row that way.

For style points, Shoot right orbit, combo on the fly to Katana ramp, shoot left ramp followed by center spinner, live catch, repeat!

I'm not sure mines split as I can't find a problem but I just ordered the real Cliffy and I hope that helps. I don't have a ton of scoop rejects but I would like it to be zero.

I ordered the cliffy version as well. Mine is not split at all but I get a crap ton of rejects. I'd say over 50% on clean shots with the right flipper. Only real way to make sure it stays is a backhand with the left flipper.

If stern could add a coil settings for the flippers this would help slow the rejects from the scoop...

I've been thinking the same damn thing.

My personal favorite is right orbit to a jet propelled scorching brick shot to the Lil' DP drop targets.

With regards to the sound drop out we just had this happen in a way similar to what's quoted from 85vett . Definitely not running stock speakers here. The backbox became "hollow" or "thin" like previous comments. All three channels were working. A power cycle fixed the issue. First time event after about a year of ownership. I don't think this is an impedance / loading issue since the PinWoofer amp presents a 16Ohm load to the factory amp. Does not seem like a mechanical issue (loose speaker mounts, etc.).

Is there any other ways to get an extra ball besides the first weapons around 15, and the extremely rare mystery?

Weapons is dynamic, so the number of weapons for an extra ball changes. I believe that you can set the high score replay award to extra ball also in the settings.

You can also set your base game for 4, 5, or up to 10 balls. No worrying about where to score an extra ball during the game that way if that's what you're mainly looking for.

I was just telling my son if i changed it to 5 ball i could probably beat the game, but that would be cheating. I want to keep it factory settings so its not cheating (to me, i guess since i own it its only cheating if i say it is!) Ill just keep trying i guess. Maybe someday the mystery will light it. 1200 plays and i think its happened twice

I have a noob question: so this isn't really designed from the movie right? Looks like a great gane though

Right. Loosely based on the comics, and better for it.

Any thoughts on the cause? The odd part is the difference in frequency between games. Some people it's rare while others more common. It happens nearly every time I turn the game on and play more than 1 game.

I wonder if a frequency analyzer app could show you what the affected ranges are?

I also have experienced a strange audio dropout on occasion. Maybe 10 times in 4 months. (~ 700 games).

Recently I have noticed that my auto-plunge has weakened and the ball barely gets over to the left orbit. One time not making it. Seems to weaken as the game goes. Starts out strong. Anyone have an idea on this or have also experienced this?

Thanks!

So I've had my LE still in the box for 10 months. New baby and moving to a new house everything got put on the back burner. I really want to get this game opened. Since it's my first NIB are there any protectors I should be installing before we play the first game?

You can play right away, but I'd get mylar under the end of the right katana ramp entrance ball guide by Li'l Deadpool and a thin washer under the first post that holds it to the PF so it raises it just a smidge to prevent the edge from scratching through the clear from that guide flexing.

Also, get a set of cliffies ordered (hellhouse scoop, shooter lane, especially), and put a clear plastic protector UNDER the plastic on the front left ramp where it feeds the left flipper. That one has been cracking for a fair number of people from ball impacts up the ramp.

Here's an example of the lane guide scratching through clear from flexing at the turn (it also happens at the front). The white powder is the tell. That's clearcoat being scraped off

Here's the mod installed. A washer to raise the guide a bit and clear mylar under the front area.

can you take pictures of each area please? thanks

Each of what area? The shooter lane? I think everyone knows where that is.

I posted pics of the most important one, the katana entrance. I have a how-to post that shows the whole process of fixing that area preventatively here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/protecting-katana-lane-entrance-from-playfield-damage

you mentioned the left ramp?

Yeah. I’m about to cut a metal protector for that ramp. DP comes with a plastic protector already installed now and it is not enough. I doubt going 3 deep on plastics would make much of a difference.

Turn down the power on the coil that sends balls into the launcher lane. It will beat your launcher lane to death. Install lane protectors, yes, but still. Turn down that coil in the settings. Like half.

I have my trough eject power set to the minimum value and it works just fine. It's crazy how hard balls smack into the shooter lane by default. That plus some mylar has kept it looking spiffy.

I can't imagine a nice .250" or .375" PETG wouldn't be enough. PET-G is really tough the thicker you go.

Also coil power set to soft.

I didn’t want to worry about it so I went ahead and cut a piece of metal. Pic attached is from a test fit. Painted the top black and sanded the edges to look like a blade.

Has anyone been making that plastic with PET-G?

It's a nice job, but I think I want the visibility there in the turnaround.

Dunno. If no one has and there enough interest, I can make some.

I cut a piece of standard thickness PETG prior to going the metal route. Still cracked at the screw holes. I didn't go quite as thick as quarter-inch or three-eighths as PinMonk mentioned, but I got tired of worrying about it.

I'll add back the standard plastic w/ deadpool in a hammock on top of the metal. You're right that the only loss is not being able to see through the turn-around. Not an issue for me, but I can see how others might want that.
