Quoted from ikrananka:

I grew up in the UK and reading the 2000AD comic every week was a highlight for me as a kid. Judge Dredd was one of my favourite characters. So, I bought the machine based on my love of both pinball and the Judge Dredd character.

The last movie, Dredd, I thought was way underrated. I honestly thought it was better than Man of Steel even though it bombed in the theaters. They are talking of making a sequel though due to how well it has done on dvd/blue ray.

The pin I think has long been underrated because most people ,especially americans, are not familiar with the source material. The pin I think could have been better had it been based on The Dark Knight Rises, Batman: Year One, Watchmen, or even Spawn. Dredd just was never that popular of a character in the states.

Thinking on it, there are a lot of comic books that would make great pinball machines. Sin City would make an awesome pin. Starman would be awesome though I don't know how many people know the story. Alan Moore's swamp thing could be neat. Goon would be an awesome fun zombie theme. Much better and more fun in my opinion than Walking Dead. I think comic books with their art and stories I think lend themselves better to pins than movies.

Quoted from skywalker:

Yes Cooler in looks, But IMHO Deadworld is a waste of time, put one in couple of weeks ago really added nothing, Had this happen a few times, machine is looking for a lost ball, sitting on DW, takes awhile for the crane evenly to come around & pick it up & continue play, there is a reason why they left this out, Its not 99% reliable

The opto boards in the trough have to being working and crane has to drop every ball through the dead world opto otherwise screws up. You got to tweak it right and then it is reliable.

I think biggest problem is that the code doesn't compensate for a lost ball. In other games, when the pinball screws up in tracking how many balls are in play it doesn't end play when something is trigging switches even though its bad count shows that all the balls are in the trough. For example, my BSD sometimes loses track of the balls and it will start going through adding up the bonuses and if the ball still in play triggers a switch, it jumps immediately back into play. JD doesn't have any programming to determine when there are still balls in play and even worse when it loses track of how many balls in play it carries the screwed up count into the next ball and puts two balls into trough instead of just one to start game. I have to turn the game on and off to reset the count. JD is dumb like that.

Quoted from o-din:

It sounds worse than it is. If the game is working correctly, the mod can be installed in a matter of minutes and will work just fine. The key is that with the mod, the optos on the planet must sense one ball out for every ball in. I installed mine almost two years ago, and have had absolutely zero problems since. And for the price, it is a very cool upgrade.

Most of the problems I have had have been in just adjusting the crane so that it consistantly drops the balls through teh opto. After I got that dialed in, I haven't had problems.

Quoted from skywalker:

Anyone have any links to how to dial in the JD Crane, have done a search nothing came up

Go in test mode. There is a feature for adjust the crane. It is a bit trial and error but LEAVE IT ALONE ONCE IT IS WORKING.

Quoted from skywalker:

thanks champ hear your LOUD & Clear

It is just easy to come out of tune. I keep mthe card board cover off the crane to prevent it from it getting bumped when I lift the playfield.
