I think I've seen this happen on the disco loop mode as well. I was watching someone else play and the loop mode was ready and should have started after hitting the spinner on 3 separate occasions. They never got a 4th chance, not that I believe it would have mattered. We were both left scratching our heads on that. Afterwards, I was wondering if there was some other mode going on that might have prevented the loop mode from starting but neither one of us was aware of anything else happening at the time. So maybe it's the same bug others have seen.

OK I have a lot to learn,
there's nothing about HOW you GET weapons in the rulesheet, they just magically show up at the scoop

So what shot lights weapons?
What is the weapon light?

Thanks

Combos (different shots made consecutively) will award weapons. When you make a loop or ramp shot, etc. it will light the weapon lights on other shots. I think you have 5 seconds to make another shot to earn a weapon. The length of time may be an adjustable setting.
Collect weapons at the scoop.

Out of stock again!!! Man, I dont check pinside for a day and I miss out on the one thing I’ve been trying to get for a few months now!!

If anyone has one they don’t mind selling, please let me know

The weapon lights are the crossed swords inserts.

Has anyone received a Katana signed by Gomez with the game they purchased? I have one and was curious how many were made.

Your Katana was signed by Gomez? Was it a pro, premium or Le model?

2020, man. 2020. Nothing is predictable except that everything is unpredictable.

see Gomez facebook page - yesterday he posted alot of details about the katana's

got a link? there's only 5,287 of them on FB

Anyone recognize this piece? I plunged a ball tonight and this appeared on the playfield.

Mystery solved... bolt that holds the hinge on!

Am I the only one that has games like this? Qualify for dazzler MB on the first ball, and had wound up in other modes that it never ran. Also finished the Dino quest, then couldn't hit the scoop. Typically I hit it 3x when I dont want to.

All the time! I’ll have games where I blow up the score and then a few really weak games. Part of why I love this game so much! It’s definitely not easy every game!
I have had a few games where I start Disco Multiball and I’m only at 4 million points. Just start the game ripping that left orbit.

Yes........this.game.is.Awesome!

Ok I must be slow on the uptake how do chimichangas work towards quests? Shoot the right ramp to light. Get 3? Chimis to light Quests.....then it seems to stop counting. Do I need 2 more right loops to get the other quest lit or....?

Think it goes like this:

first shot to right orbit lites the chimis. 3 lit shots lights quest. second time around requires 2 shots to right orbit to light chimis . 3 lit shots lights quest. its always the right orbit. to light them.

Thanks I've been wondering this too.

Just about to do the Snikt antisway install - any gotchas I need to watch out for? My PBL antisway kit didn''t come with any foam or parts other than the metal bracket - do I need any extra parts to make the swap?

I used weatherstripping and cut it to the exact size of original foam. Otherwise, you could remove the old foam and place on new bracket. Hopefully, the existing bracket holes on the underside of your playfield allow the new bracket to line up properly on the top of playfield, keeping the target from overlapping the metal ball guide.

I have found the anti-sway bracket to be useless on the SNKT target. I still have to move it back into position after a handful of smacks to the target. Is it even possible I've installed it incorrectly?

I haven't had that issue. Seems unlikely that you installed it incorrectly as there isn't much to mess with. The anti-sway bracket is supposed to keep the target from moving left (or right). Can you take a pic of what the target looks like before you have to move it back into position? I'd be interested in seeing how far out of position it is getting for you.

Make sure all of the screws are tight. You may also need to adjust the switch - my target does slightly overlap the guide, so the target doesn't actually move very much when hit, so I had to move the switch contacts a little closer as some shots wouldn't register.

GUYS THE NEW UPDATE IS HERE!!!
BOOOOOM!!!

Moved to System V2.61:
- Updated to nodeboard firmware v0.65.0
- When starting a game ramp the backbox GI from "ATTRACT MODE B.BOX BRIGHTNESS" to
"GAME PLAY B.BOX BRIGHTNESS".
- When ending a game ramp the backbox GI from "GAME PLAY B.BOX BRIGHTNESS" to
"ATTRACT MODE B.BOX BRIGHTNESS".
- New Standard Adjustment "START BUTTON ATTRACT MODE ILLUM."
This adjustment, which is only available and active when the game is in FREE PLAY mode, controls
the behavior of the Start Button Light.
Values are:
"ALWAYS OFF" - Start Button Light is always off when in attract mode.
"BLINKING" - Start Button Light will blink when in attract mode. This is the DEFAULT and previous behavior.
"ALWAYS ON" - Start Button Light is always on when in attract mode.
- Update TARGET_GAME_TIME adjustment to ensure a minimal ballsaver even after
the target game time is met.
- Do not display LOCATING NODE BOARD at boot when coin door interlock switch
has disabled node board power.
- Improve backbox and cabinet audio synchronization.
- Update the HSTD reset counter when the Standard Adjustment is changed.
- Added TARGET_GAME_TIME adjustment, accessable when the BALL_SAVE_TIME
adjustment is enabled.
TARGET_GAME_TIME enables a multi-use ball saver, whose duration is
dynamically calculated for each ball to help ensure the player has
a guaranteed amount of play time per game.
TARGET_GAME_TIME has a range of 1m 30s to 3m 00s and defaults to
NO_TARGET_TIME (disabled).
When disabled a traditional single-use BALL_SAVE_TIME ball saver will be
used for each ball in play.
When enabled the first ball of play will have a multi-use ball saver of
BALL_SAVE_TIME sec. The second ball will have a multi-use ball saver
which is 25% of (TARGET_GAME_TIME - player_game_time).
The third and beyond will have a multi-use ball saver which is 50% of
(TARGET_GAME_TIME - player_game_time).
- Updated 10 band graphic EQ to have 15 slider settings (was 120) above/below the
neutral center line.
- Rename Util->Volume->Speaker Balance to Speaker Fade. This adjusts the volume
levels of the cabinet (front) and backbox (back) speakers. The term Balance
was misleading and implied adjusting the level of the left and right backbox speakers.
- Added UTIL->VOL Adjustment "SELECT AUDIO FILTER". Values are:
"NONE", "HIGH/LOW SHELF", and "10 BAND EQ". Default value is "HIGH/LOW SHELF".
"NONE": No filtering will be performed on the audio output. Useful when using

The Bass Frequency can be set to: 125Hz, 250Hz, or Disabled.
The Treble Frequency can be set to: 4KHz, 8KHz, or Disabled.
The Gain can be set to -12dB .. +12dB
On Spike 2 the Shelf Frequency and Gain can be set independently for the BackBox and Cabinet speakers.
"10 BAND EQ": A full 10 Band EQ is applied to the audio output.
Sliders are used to adjust the Gain of a specific range of frequencies.
The Frequencies are: 31Hz, 62Hz, 125Hz, 250Hz, 500Hz, 1KHz, 2KHz, 4KHz, 8KHz, 16KHz.
The Gain curve has a 60dB dynamic range across the -120 .. +120 Slider settings.
On Spike2 the Gain can be set independently for the BackBox and Cabinet speakers.
- Allow the knocker sound effect to play completely when a replay is
awarded during the last ball bonus and ensure the normal game
volume is restored.
- Added Standard Adjustment "MAX PLAYERS PER GAME". Values are 1 to 4,
with a default setting of 4. This can be used to limit the number
of players that can be added to a game.
- Using LEFT+START to end a game during bonus count could leave game graphics
on screen while in attract mode. This has been corrected.
- Added Service Menu selection UTIL->ENDGAME. This selection is only available
when there is an active game. When selected the operator will be prompted
to confirm that they wish to end the current game. Once confirmed and upon
exiting the Service Menu, the game will be in attract mode.
- Added Standard Adjustment "ALLOW LEFT+START TO END GAME". Values are:
"NEVER", "FREE PLAY ONLY", and "ALWAYS". Default value is "NEVER".
During an active game, if the LEFT FLIPPER+START BUTTONs are held for
two seconds, the game will be ended.

a game is ended via the Service Menu or FLIPPER+START BUTTONs.
- Added Standard Adjustment "CREDIT FORMAT". Values are:
"ACTUAL FRACTION" and "REDUCED FRACTION". Default value is "REDUCED FRACTION".

- Update Italian translation of "ENTER INITIALS" to "INSERISCI LE TUE INIZIALI"
- System V2.28:
- Updated to nodeboard firmware v0.48.0
- Added coin door interlock switch support for Spike2.

Awesome update. High score tables, DJ mixer mode, stacking changes even fixing the minor kerning issues. Kudos.

AWESOME!!!

We wanted more high scores, we have a lot more high scores!

This! So good with young kids in the house...

Added Standard Adjustment "ALLOW LEFT+START TO END GAME". Values are:
"NEVER", "FREE PLAY ONLY", and "ALWAYS". Default value is "NEVER".

It will also suit us when we play Deadpool Pingolf. Pain in the arse cycling the machine or plunging balls when you meet the objective on ball 1.

Great looking update. I will be loading it up ASAP. All those high scores Love the start and left flipper feature.

Awesome update. Was hoping for a "explicit" mode like GNR. Would love for deadpool to talk like the real deadpool lol.

That 1 kerning issue wasn't so minor. It affected all the "1" displays and made them look really weird with like double or triple the space they should have had. Glad to see it's finally vanquished.

This will make a grate game even better! Sweet

Wish I hadn't sold mine!

The update I was waiting for

was just thinking same thing! I had about 2 years with it though. I got my fill!

This seems like an awesome update. Quite a bit. Is there still no flipper power adjustment though?

By "minor" I just meant it did not really affect the playability of the machine or my enjoyability of it. Everyone's feelings on kerning are important and should be heard though.

Stuck at work! What's DJ Mixer Mode!?

Had to try the new code and set some goals on a few of the new high scores!

Same here...what is DJ mixer mode and how does it work?

Its a feature they are adding to the latest pins. You can hold in both flipper buttons to enable it, allows you to play different defined playlists of in game music.

In my best Deadpool voice: “Best. Game. Ever.”

Sure it is, like a blinking clock, just ignore it lol

I must be missing something. I downloaded the file from Stern. I unzip it as directed, and it shows two different files. Am I supposed to flash the larger file onto my SD card (spk.002.000)?? I don't see any .raw files as it shows in the instructions from Stern.

Just copying instructions from the readme file:

Update instructions:
1 - Download the zip file.
2 - Unzip the file; this will create a folder that contains file(s).
3 - Open the folder, copy the file(s) to the root level of a
FAT32 formatted USB stick. (Do not copy the folder.)
4 - Power the game off.
5 - Insert the USB stick.
6 - Turn the game on.
7 - After the game boots up, there will be an option for software update.
8 - The volume buttons change options for full or quick update.
The enter button selects the option and starts the update.
9 - Once the update is completed, turn the game off and remove the USB stick.
10- Turn the game on and the game will be running the new code.

drag over both files, not the readme

So update via USB vs creating a boot image from an SD card?

Correct.
