Time to dig up this old topic again. For the first few years of owning my Getaway I ran L5 rom, a few months ago I changed to L2 as I was always hearing L2 is better. Yesterday in a 3 player game, player 1 started normal run the red light multiball on his 2nd ball, draining out fairly quickly. Player 1 ball 3 then started in first gear! I'm not sure what gear he had reached but he was definitely working through the gears on ball 1 and 2 and hadn't reached RLM, so basically all progress towards RLM was lost after his normal multiball. Is this a known bug?

99.9% sure, as he stepped up to the machine he said ' I haven't had red light mania have I? ' I replied he had not then looked and saw gear 1. I guess I'll have to witness it again before knowing 100%

Thanks very much.

I just fitted the new ROM , thanks Soren. Can anyone tell me if the following behaviour is normal/expected please? I just had 2 balls in the lock and reached red light mania ( I had 1 red standup left to get to enable 3rd ball lock ). I started RLM, did pretty crap, was down to the last ball so the timer was counting down to collect the jackpot. I hit the ramp and collected the jackpot. This is the bit I'm unsure of, collecting that jackpot relaunched the other 2 balls which were previously dead. I wasn't sure whether I was still in RLM or if the normal multiball had started with that jackpot collection until I drained and started the next ball with no balls locked, back to green traffic light. Also back to first gear obviously after playing RLM.

I'm guessing what happened was during the RLM I managed to hit the last red standup to light the 3rd lock, then collecting that jackpot also qualified as the 3rd ball lock starting regular multiball. Does that sound like correct machine behaviour?

Thanks Soren, top work.

I think I just witnessed a bug, playing with 4 balls no extra balls ( ready for league meet tomorrow, yes we play with 4 balls in league in the UK for some reason ) , tournament settings, I had video mode lit for the 2nd time along with burn rubber, I put the ball in the saucer and it didn't start the video mode or award the burn rubber award, it knew it was there because it kicked it out immediately. I was on ball 4 and lost the ball shortly afterwards so no idea whether it would have repeated it on further hits. Is that a known issue? I'll see if I can replicate it. Using Sorens patched L5 ROM.
