for pinball physicist: the guy of the singularity disaster is called "Professor Fermion" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermion

Hi, I had the same problem with the sim card scoop entry opto, sometimes if a sim card was lit I get the shot made but no ball goes in there. Instead I hit the QED guy with the ball, especially a fast ball hitting the target. Looking to the opto I/O board I see that there are mounted on the QED guy moving asselmbly. I reconnect (unplug and replug) the opto plug and the problem is now gone. But I am afraid of that it will appear soon, because of shaking the QED assembly by hiting the QED target causing the opto I/O board to be involved. I guess it was no good idea to mount Q3 and Q4 on the QED assembly?

I love the improvements which came with 1.57, thanks a lot
This completes the pin and makes it to become a master piece, great job done at JJP!

Because the pin has so many shots and possibilities (including the toys and the theme!) many ideas comming up to my mind:

- If you complete all skillshots (or super skillshots ?) during a game the shot in the cellphone light
the new multiball GTiQC 'Golf Tournament in Quantum City' with a meet again of Bud and Buzz (including funny animation).
During the multiball (2 balls) you have to play a golf tournament at the Quantum City golf course.
The holes on the golf course are randomly lit main shots (ramps, left loop) (jackpot).
A par 3 hole need 3 shots, par 4 hole 4 shots and par 5 hole 5 shots, the holes are selected randomly.
The last shot, the putt on the green, is a shot (super jackpot) going under the playfield, like cellphone, Bob's trapdoor.
Sim Card shot is a 'hole in one' which scores ultra ackpot and ends the hole immediately.
Each completed hole reactivates the kickback, a kickback shot shows an animation where Bud or Buzz kickout a golf ball from a hole.
If you finish the tournament (3 holes?) you will get a trophy at the Quantum theatre to pick up and end the multiball.

- If you played all Bob multiballs and cracy modes, you can start with a shot in the phone the extra mode CBSO 'Crazy Bob's Sell Out'
Each shot at a Bob Target activates a bargain (jackpot) in the Quatum theatre, which you can then pick up.
The bargains are souvenirs from Road Show or Toys from Pat Lawlor Pins. Each bumper contact changes the randomly chosen bargain in the theatre.
After three bargains, the middle ramp lights a super bargain. The mode ends after a given time, time can be added by shooting the cellphone.

- If you played all multiballs like CiQC, QT, GTiQC then you will get a new wizard multiball (3 balls) 'Quantum City Pinball Tournament' by shooting the Quantum theatre .
In the tournament you have to play Pat Lawlor pins (for example, the 7 Williams classic pins), they are shown on the screen and you have to make one of the main shots per pin, ramp, loop, theatre.
However, the shot (jackpot) is illuminated only for a short time and changes randomly.
If there is a ball in the bumpers, the shot will remain at the current position during this time.
After one pin finished you have to start the next one in the theatre, before the variable shot is lit again.
The last shot is again an animated target (Pinball Wizard) in the Quantum theatre.

I know to add a new mode or multiball is a huge effort, with all the animations, light effects, call outs and music/sounds.
But let me just dream a little bit...
best regards
Stefan

opto board mounted on the QED-assembly causing sometimes problems

Hello,

my update from 1.73 to 1.75 failed.
After removing the usb thumb drive and rebooting the machine it stuck with an error.
Any suggestions are welcome.

thanks
now tried usb port on main board,
a second usb thumb drive on both ports,
got always the same error any other thoughts...

Don't know why the boot doesn't continue, some startups even show that error 3 times before they stop.
After it stops then after a few seconds the startup is done again and so on until you switch off the pin.

Tried nearly everything, use rufus tool to write the image, also using different block sizes (8k and 4k), because the default in rufus is 8k but in unetbootin it is 4k. Even connected a keyboard to step into the bios and change nothing there, but write the bios at exit.
Well now opened a support ticket at JJP...

Finally I got my update done to 1.75 with the help of BC_Gambit (thank you very much!) changing the BIOS setting of 'Initiate Graphic Adapter' to IGD.
After changing this setting the option 'IGD Multi-Monitor = Enabled' is no more available in the BIOS.
I wonder what is the recommended setting from JJP in 'normal mode' (not to resume a hanging full update): 'IGD Multi-Monitor = Enabled' and 'Initiate Graphic Adapter = PEG' or 'Initiate Graphic Adapter = IGD'?
