post #3865

Someone just said the same thing and got the same answer one page ago or so. Have a look at the responses there.

I don't have the fix done and i can't see a mark at all with my dodgy eyes. Tween 4-5000 games on mine.

Having just joined i have to say that whom ever said there is a bash toy in Deadpool is mistaken unless your definition is a Toy mounted to a standup target . Otherwise no. no bash toy .
I suppose the Elvira Leaping Frogs where considered Bash toys ?
I do not think so .
Anyway it is a fun game and glad to have at it

Where did that come from?

Thanks for the help, made the adjustment and we're good to go!

Anyone put a purple powdercoat on their premium?

If you turn yours down are you still cleanly making your Katana shot as well as your Snikt? Both of those can reject often cause the ball does not have enough momentum to make the turn at the top of the ramp.

I would highly suggest you turn down the trough kickout though. That comes out of the box cranked pretty high.

Set up the pro, shoots great, lots of fun. pretty sure the bubble level is defective, backward, or something as it only registers in the middle if the front legs are jacked up and the back are down. Any way, going through the threads, will put cliffys, plastic protectors, etc on. Any must do protection for the pro?

Also do people put rubbers on the little spike posts at the outlanes?

Yes, new owners.... Turn down that trough eject strength. Now!

Adjustments >> DP >> #4 Trough Eject Power. Drop to 200 -- or even less.

You'll be glad you did.

Only if you want longer ball times. I believe they provide some in your goodie bag if you do want to put them on but that was a deliberate decision from Stern.

Must do protection, read the last few pages there have been a lot of similar questions. I posted some links yesterday pointing to the various ball guide/ramp fixes you might wanna do as they are susceptible to wearing the clear and at worst chipping the paint right off the playfield.

Also, turn the trough kickout down to reduce wear on the shooter lane.

Games were shipped without rubbers on the outlane posts. Consider that a "factory" setting. Put them on if you want to, you may find it makes the game a little easier and will maybe take them back off to up the challenge at some point. Or maybe you will leave them on, it's your game, play however you like!

What do you have your trough power set at. I think mine is turned down to 200 if I remember correctly

I did.
I love this game but your pinballs are going to get beat to shit enough up by the hell house.

Yeah, don't trust the bubble... it's easy to flip it if it's backward for some reason. Use a digital level or phone app... 6.5° to 7.0° seems to be best for DP. Generally front levelers screwed all the way in and the rears most of the way out. Also make sure level side to side.

Hey Everyone,
When I was in Sauron, and had the one green shot at the Colossus u-turn,
I must have hit that thing 5 times,
and I heard the lil u turn sound,
but no SAURON JACKPOT
do you need to hit the Colossus target to get that?

Thanks

Yep, gotta hit the target to complete the shot, it's a tough one!

I just kept bumping mine down until the ball would not make it into the lane. I think I am in the 150ish area but I gotta kick it up because occasionally a ball will not quite clear and I gotta shake it out.

I haven't added washers and I'm fortunate my playfield is good. I bought my DP Premium in September 2019.

My wolverine shot is not registering. Is hitting the spinner all you need to do for it to register? In switch test, the spinner is registering but I don't see an opto or a switch to register the wolverine shot. In the switch list I don't see anything on the wolverine shot, other than the spinner. Any help would be appreciated.

Is rollover switch #40 registering? It is the one between the Wolverine and Dazzler spinner. I believe it is a combo of hitting the Wolverine spinner + the rollover that registers that shot.

Is Dazzler registering? It's the opposite, Dazzler spinner + rollover.

I should have brought mine down to 200 along time ago. Glad you guys mentioned it.

I’ll be adding them to my Premium that’s incoming, makes the games last a little longer and those outlanes a little easier to control which is important as I play a lot with my son who’s only 3.5 yrs old.

He loves AIQ but the outlanes are so gready he gets really frustrated, when he’s playing alone I block the outlanes with rubber bands so he can play a little longer, at the end of the day it’s your game do what makes the game the most fun for you and the family.

Your 3.5 year old has the hand eye? To play pinball? Damn impressive

I only heard this second hand from someone who asked George Gomez. He said the game was designed to be played without rubbers on the outlanes.

With that being said, it'll make you a better player (and maybe angrier) in the long run. But, I usually put rubbers on them if I know friends are coming over that aren't super pinball enthusiasts, it's just more fun for them with them on.

It’s amazing how “good” they get at a young age

Regarding the disco ball mod, I think a code update changed the way the disco insert light behaves and now instead of the light staying lit and subsequently disco ball continuously spinning during disco multi ball, the light just blinks which causes the disco ball to turn off and on continuously. That is how mine is working anyway on the latest code.

That being said it is still very nice to look at, it just doesn’t add to the light show.

If anyone’s disco ball mod acts differently please chime in

I have a set of customizable lights from a local producer and put a sensor on the disco light up so that when it is on the side lights do a disco. It has added a lot. That light turns on with spinner too. So I never installed the disco ball

I am today years old when I found out I could skip a mode with holding boom. Awesome. Thanks

was a DP pro vs another game thread .. Mentions bash toys. i just got DP pro and there is no bash toys .
That is all . Where it come from. Me !

JonCBrand has a hack to solve this:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/deadpool-pro-disco-ball-mod-mod-to-fix-for-new-code

FYI if you pass on a Battle you gotta re-light the D-E-A-D targets again to qualify. Probably does the same for Quests too in that you would have to re-qualify chimmys.

Washers are absolutely, positively not necessary. The only fix needed to correct the issue of the ball rail digging in is to simply loosen the nut that fastens it under the playfield. Nothing more.

No washers were added to this new run but looks like they somehow keep the Metal edge off the PF at least on mine

Everyone should add the washer on the rail at the kitana ramp. It takes 2 seconds and literally ensures, 100%, that you will not get any damage. All it takes is a couple of vibrating hits and you could have irreparable damage.

Didn't know that ! ^^^

Do I really need to remove this board to lift the katana ramp entrance?

Inside the control box, there is a potentiometer screw in a blue housing. Turning the screw counter clockwise will reduce the sensitivity of the sensor to light and it won’t go on and off quite as much.

No you do not. Should be 3 bolts I think but none are covered by boards.

Main bolt for katana is I that hole in the board. Mine was slightly offline so I had to remove some screws to lift the board

Ok that was weird. I had lil deadpool and berserker rage and was killing thr spinner and got 0 for rage but 1200000 for lil deadpool

Thanks! I’ll take a look

What’s your definition of a bash toy? Because there is one.

That's a good way to have even more of your playfield scraped off at the ends of the guide from the guide flexing back and forth. You need something - mylar, rubber, washer between the guide and the playfield or it will damage it over time.

For those that switched out the Snnnkkt target for the Pinball Life anti-sway target, did you transfer over the foam padding?

Seems like it might prevent the switch from registering as cleanly.

He’s actually pretty good, he doesn’t just hit the flipper buttons repeatedly he waits for the ball to come down the inlane.

I put rubbers on inlane posts like DP and AIQ I block the outlanes off for him as he doesn’t have the strength to nudge and that game needs a lot of nudging.

Unlike my daughter who’s 5.5 she’s bloody hopeless

Nope. My new run pro definitely needed a washer, ramp was pressing on the play field. Changed it before game one and glad I did.

Any suggestions for dialing in the super skill shot?

Which one? Hold left flipper + Katana?

For me I need a clean/fast plunge around and I flip just as the ball hits the left flipper. Very satisfying when you hit that and it is repeatable once you get a feel for it.

I usually give a slight nudge to the Left soon as the ball is going to leave the orbit, then flip on the fly. I can hit it almost every time this way.

Seems though i doesn’t work for my after a full orbit shot, only from the plunger. Must be traveling too fast from the full orbit/ninja apocalypse

Yes, transfer the foam over or use another piece. Pinball Life sells the foam pieces or if you have some foam tape or something similar it will work as well.

Colossus jackpot shot... are you supposed to hit that from the mini orbit? Seems like it doesn’t get enough speed to hit it?
