Yeah, the idea of new rules sounds fun, but I hope there is a partial package available for those who already have pinblades and don't care for that backglass re-do.

A color dmd on Funhouse is sweet, and the mirror replaced with a mini screen is really cool.
Can you play the original game on it also?
** Edit. Well. After ten minutes of deep thinking. I'm on the list. LOL, can't wait to get this!
Quoted from PPS:There are none iavailable at any reseller at this point ... but will be soon in batches, which is why we are not taking money until they are in our hands or imminent.
Team PPS
Will you be responding to emails to let us know where we stand on your list? I just want to be sure my email was received.
It would be very cool to see a clip of some gameplay/ new modes while we wait. Having decided to buy, this is pretty much all I will be thinking about until I open the hood for the terror of installation 
Quoted from Pedretti_Gaming:[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Those are great pics! The backglass actually looks better in that pic than the original photo... It may grow on me the speaker panel and display are just amazing.
Now can you quit playing on the computer and get this kit to my house! 
They said it runs the original roms on the board in original mode, so wouldn't that use the same sound/voices?
Also, I think I prefer the new version as a new voice rather than an attempting sound the same, which would surely disappoint. This way, I can think of the new mode as Rudy's nightmare voice and realize it is different for a reason. I'm psyched for this!
Quoted from Pinball_Basement:Size I'd argue would have changed, but thats just my guess.
Oh, shit. I hadn't thought of that!
So, I realize we are all going to come up with nit picky questions, but the one about Rudy is one I would be curious about. I had assumed Rudy would be functioning during the game, and now I'm wondering if he is not active at all unless you beat the game? It would seem odd playing with his eyes closed the whole time. I think gameplay clips are going to be key in order to get people to bite.

Quoted from pinballinreno:Its totally reversable unless you install the side art blades.
I have decided not to install the new artwork, it doesnt move me as much as the original art does.
I think the question is, while the kit is installed, does the display emulate the old school display, or does the new tech carry over and add the fancy display to the original code. At least that is one thing I'm wondering about.
Quoted from fastpinball:Yep!
I have only this photo from some local testing handy, but you'll get the idea.

That's kinda sexy.
Quoted from fastpinball:Personally, I cannot. I have not played a BOP 2.0.
I think we can let the buyers comment when they get their hands on their kits.

I mean, I'm pretty free this weekend.
Quoted from nwpinball:Have you switched back and forth on a Bride 2.0? Close, but not the same. My hot take since I have a BOP 2.0 is I played the original game once since installing the kit. Once you make your game and gameplay so much more advanced with all new levels, play and music, it makes it hard to go back to the original. I'll be happy to be proven wrong with FH 2.0, but that's been a lot of people's experience with POB 2.0.
I haven't played that one. But I'd love for you to be right!
Quoted from DuffysArcade:The conversation about Rudy's new voice misses the huge issue of his mouth movement being originally programmed for each and every spoken word. The original programming took literally hundreds of hours to perfect this. I've asked this question in this forum a few times and haven't gotten an answer. We have no indication from the teaser video that Rudy's mouth will continue to follow his spoken words in the Rudy's Nightmare game mode. If the mouth doesn't move to the new dialogue, then it's a large part of the game to miss out on.
Can anyone comment on what I'm asking?
This, to me, will be a bigger deciding factor than the voice. I'm ok with a weird voice for the nightmare game instead of a cheesy near-miss Rudy impersonation. But if Rudy's head just sits there lifeless.... I dunno. I think it's a mistake to have this waiting time for people to think of every negative aspect before deciding to order.
Looking for info on a claim. I'm going to need a reimbursement for my phone as I've worn it out hitting refresh on my inbox looking for my order.
Quoted from Lopa:I think with all the improvements in 2.0 that one of the more obvious upgrades is to swap out the factory speakers.
So, what is the better upgrade, flipper fidelity, pinsound or other?
It comes with speakers in the speaker panel.
Quoted from Lopa:Huh, you are right. I didn’t see what type of speakers they include they say “high quality” but it still might be beneficial to opt for a kit.
I have flipper fidelity in mine already, so I'm gonna try theirs out and see if I wanna swap
Quoted from Oneangrymo:Mission accomplished too ! My first fun house
[quoted image][quoted image]
I bet Rudy can't wait for you to un color-bomb his backglass
It's really hard to tell from the video how gameplay is. Not sure what I was expecting, but it's hard to tell what the objectives are and if there are different goals or it's basically a retheme with the same shots. I mean, I guess it's not like they could really create "new" shots.
Quoted from mollyspub:Rather disappointing honestly
I'm still wanting to love this. I'm hoping it's just a weak preview and that gameplay video will seem more fluid and inspired. I think they'd be helping themselves out to release a quick vid of an actual game before people dismiss it.
Quoted from jetmechinnc:Animations in the LCD look great, really looks like a nice product. Can't wait for the finished product to be available for purchase!
That feeling of excitement to see a new video. Only to see that it's someone reposting the same video from days ago... 
Quoted from mollyspub:Do you mean in hopes of seeing a better video that actually makes you want to get the kit?
LOL, of course! I really think if we see gameplay video we are going to be happy. It seems like they have their act together and put a lot of work into this.
**Fingers crossed
Quoted from Bundy:This really takes a good game to the next level. Had the opportunity to play it this weekend and it was a blast![quoted image]
I really hope that isn't a spelling error on the mini screen. Looks like it should say "collect ten minutes to light mirror"?
The grammar police are big here and that would drive me insane
Quoted from jaytrem:Must be a European thing. My Jolly Ride uses lits when it should be lights...

I understand the idea of releasing teasers to create a buzz, but making people wait after that release like this is making it tough not to nitpick every little thing while I probably would have just insta bought this mod now I really am not sure with all of these questions floating around. Hope in the end everything works out and this mod is awesome. Looking at that message on the mirror would remind me of the "extra balle" message of fishtales.
The Rudy image behind the score looks cool, and hopefully we can all be pleasantly surprised when we finally get to see gameplay.

Quoted from pinheadpierre:Or hope that they’re going with Midwestern sizing!
I once went to buy a shirt in Wisconsin while visiting for a funeral. There was a Walmart across the road from our hotel. I walked over there to get a tee shirt. (For the life of me, I can’t remember why I needed a new tee shirt in the middle of a trip.) I’m a tall, skinny dude. Nothing fits me quite right. I normally go with extra large tee shirts even though they are a bit roomy around the torso.
When I found the shirts, I rifled through the stack and found an XL. That sucker was like a five person tent! I found another one, thinking it was simply mislabeled. Nope. All the XL shirts were big enough to pitch several sleeping bags in. I wound up buying a medium. Apparently, California and Wisconsin do not share a common size language.
So I should move west and consider myself a medium! Sweet!
Quoted from insight75:I have to admit...I would buy this just for the classic mode if that is all it had. I just want the nice color screen which is something that I always thought would be great for funhouse.....
I don't believe it will be a color display for the original, unless you count white or orange which is what the numbers appear to be. It's not like the original version will have added graphics or animations. At least that's my understanding.
Quoted from stumblor:Andrea @ Pedretti (and Janos, the coder) have both been massively appreciative of our efforts. Between that and the knowledge that we've helped in some small way to bring this product to life - that is more than enough!
Videos coming tonight!
Cool! It's gonna be snowing here so it'll give us something to look forward to
Quoted from UVAJED:We're doing what we can.
More unbridled videos to come soon ... including the original Funhouse
That's cool. I would like to see the original play briefly, just to see that it feels true to the stock game.
Quoted from AMSNL:Pinball lovers,Here is some 1.0 gameplay
And some more extended 2.0 gameplay
Sorry if video quality is not 4K standard in the upload some compression took place.
Enjoy!!
I'm wondering if it's overexposure by the camera, or the while display looks too bright?;is it pretty much black behind the scores in 1.0? Brightness turned up too high?
Not that anyone asked, but here are my thoughts...
I feel like I am 99 percent going to go thru with this purchase. I've been watching these a few times and while I really don't love the voice, I think I will be ok with it. It is what it is. I know I will never try to change clips in the software, so I am hoping for some of the above suggestions to be implemented. I too enjoy Rudy's taunting and I like the out of character clips in here making him seem possessed
I agree that any time you hit him in the mouth, he should react, when it goes in there and there is no sound, it seems like something isn't working. You will never make everyone totally happy, and I get that. I think it's cool to add almost a new game to an existing one, but I will probably miss the "real" display while playing the original game. The mirror too, although I guess the replicated bulbs are at least functionally the same.
Sucks for me that I have upgraded speakers and a new pinscore display recently added to my game that will be replaced and sitting in a box with the boards, but who knew? It would be a perfect kit for a restoration of a blown out game with beat boards, speakers, display, etc.
Anyway, assuming the original feels close enough, I'm hoping for an alternate version that will be cool and amusing, and just the idea of playing my existing game with a color display is friggin awesome. Looking forward to more positive additions and getting this kit in my game. Thanks for all the work, guys.
Quoted from stumblor:For anyone that might be worried about HighVoltage 's creative credentials, I suggest you checkout his website.

By the way your business name is being used by someone else.
https://www.circuit-circus.com/Move on then.
LMAO! Nice topper
Quoted from AMSNL:For the time being you have to shut off the machine to switch between games. Maybe in the future there will be a better option . Most of it also have to do with the original funhouse code that cannot be altered . So to switch from 2.0 to 1.0 is better to do then 1.0 to 2.0 on return menu. But never say never, our awesome coder is always innovating
I really want this mod and I'm focusing on the positive, but this isn't good. There would have to be a way to toggle back and forth to make this a seamless upgrade. Shutting the game down to switch seems harsh and not professional to me. Not trying to pile on here, but that's a deal breaker that should be looked into.
Quoted from Zablon:As they probably cannot make changes to the 1.0 code, and I assume that you don't want to have to open the coin door, how would you propose they make that happen with just 2 flipper buttons and a start button? A secret flipper code? Hitting the coin ejects? Basically, things that are not realistic in the environments where I think people would take issue with having to shut the game off to change modes...
They could potentially put something in the menu for 2.0 to go to 1.0, but going from 1.0 to 2.0 might be problematic. Would need to see how exactly the initial menu works, and if they can dump back into it after each game...but people would complain about that extra step of having to choose each time too.
Here ya go....
Our FAST Controller will identify a very long press of the start button and throw an event to the SBI running the display. The developer would then be able to present the option screen to select between 1.0 and 2.0 games.
This will be a standard feature on all 2.0 games that developers can use and provide a consistent experience across all the FAST controlled 2.0 games.
This feature is not yet implemented in FHRN, but will be.

FAST Pinball
Thanks, Aaron... That was FAST!
Quoted from Lhyrgoif:Cmon, drama much? How often would a player go back and forth between 1.0 and 2.0 in a single playsession? Rarely imo.
Also, pinballs are rugged machines that can handle a lot of beating so powercycling the game a few times is a non issue, don't make this into a problem it isn't please.
I bet 99% of players will want to experience the new 2.0 version and not the 30 year old code they are tired of anyway.
Well, that's what makes the world go 'round. Seems like it's solved now anyway, but that switching between games would have been important to me. Not looking for drama, as I said I support this project and look forward to it.
Quoted from AMSNL:If anybody was wondering on the brightness washout on the 1.0 video ,this is what it looks like when looking at the screen from a normal view so you also can see individual segments like the old one. Good contrast and brightness also on the 1.0 version.[quoted image][quoted image][quoted image]
Thanks for posting, that does look nice!
Quoted from insight75:I'm ready to go......
[quoted image]
As much as that defeats the purpose of being able to switch back and forth, it would be pretty freaking cool to have a version one next to a version two with the different art and displays!
Quoted from Scoot:I'm in the same situation but would never sell my Houdini. I'm thinking about selling my TWD to fund my 2.0 Funhouse and a LOV.
Priorities...
