There’s reflective plastic above the lanes on the backboard. Look there.

I had the longer flippers for a while...but the extra length seemed to throw off the shot geometry. After updating the code I switched back to the regular flippers and am much happier....my flippers are set even with the outlane angles and are not "droopy" like the original run factory....

i like the carrot flippers better than the center post, since it feels less random but still helps, and you boys wouldnt be complaining xD
there is a slightly reflective shield back there at the PKE, you can also get the mirror mod for it:

depenting on the build date of your machine you may have super droopy flippers you may correct.
there are much little tweaks which help alot on the game.

So on color dmd now the GB with updated code will show dots on some scenes and color on others?

I’ve set color dmd to green for now. What about everybody else?

- GB has regular 3" flipper bats so are not shorter but they maybe set to the real low sag angle meaning you can't cradle - just lift them up to the incoming angle of your inlane guard or a fraction lower.
- there is a see through plastic on the backboard that you can use the reflection to see what top inlanes are lit just incase you hadn't noticed this and there is a mirror plastic mod version around as well

Coloured v1. 13 graphics, black /white for any new v1. 16 graphics.

I've been trying to look at it. Still seems to be a struggle for me but I'll keep trying. LOL. The mod may be good for me.

Thanks for the suggestion on the modification. I'm going to check that one out. I think my boys would prefer carrot flippers. They feel like the center post is cheating. LOL.

We have put about 200 plays on it. I noticed on one of the later games that I hit something and the flippers went dead. The ball drained. The lights and machine worked fine. It's almost like I hit something on the game that made it auto drain. Do you know of a feature in the game that would cause that to happen? Flippers functioned perfectly fine afterwards.

Why would ya do that? It's just a few screens needing updating and they are in grayscale for now. I'm still enjoying color dotsxl.

I've just left it as is ... about 95% of what I have seen is still colored but will be even better once we get a new Color DMD update.

If you do terrible in god mode, does it relegate you to the level of jizz mopper?

Thx guys. Didn’t realize 95% not affected

Thanks so much for that mate. Awesome!

Totally agree on that.

“The one thing that does slightly annoy me is that I can't see the skill shot letters. I have to stand on my toes! “

Get the mirror

I agree the mirror really helps with the skill shot. I spent 2 years trying to see the refelection in the glass or plastic.

So, you can turn off the easier mode-advance-without-completion setting then? Can you tell me which setting #?

Thanks!

Thanks for the code.
I just noticed that my slimer stopped working after the update.
When I re installed the original Stern code it worked again so my guess is that it is a process with your code?
Just thought I let you know.
Did anyone else expect the same issue?

You just have to face your fears and do it. Its been a long time since i put mine on but it wasnt that bad.

This is likely the culprit. I installed Kiss Premium code in a Pro once by accident and the machine went bananas.

I adjusted feature 30 under the GB adjustments. I believe Ball End Mode was the name of the feature.

I did it without removing... dont do it! the chance is high to damage plastics. later i unscrewed the back wood anyway and thought to my self how dump i was

I hope my memory is right. I mounted with double sided tape and its been perfect.
Test fit.

Its not that bad. I've had to do lots of pinball repairs that were much more difficult than installing that mirror.

Do you guys do the Quick update or full update option?

I have seen this once on GB The game mostly works until the first time Slimer is needed. Slimer uses a different node board on Premium/LE that doesn't exist on Pros, so the game will eventually crash and restart or spaz depending on which type of machine got the wrong code

I didnt get that option this time around.

Its really not needed at all imo...

Don't forget to update your ratings in the "Top 100" list

It's an even tougher shot on the premium IMHO. But factory settings on the new code make it obsolete. With the new code changes, you can practically ignore it. You just don't want to leave it as the last shot on modes, because "Ghost" won't spot the last shot. PKE Frenzy is the only dedicated mode now where you can't bypass the right ramp.

I played thru WRTBY last night (didn't get 100 ghosts), completed the left ramp ladder a second time (96 ghosts that time...damn it) and drained on StayPuft the second time around the right orbit ladder. I don't recall intentionally shooting the right ramp at all that game other than PKE.

Everyone can set the game how they want, but I turned off "Ghost" spotting after that. Having a shot that you never need to shoot seems like a waste. The best thing about this new code is not only did they make a ton of changes, but they forsaw the needs of different players and added a lot of customizable options.

I hope this is a signal for future games not to have options like EASY, NORMAL, HARD, that only add to the number of shots required to do something. This game now has customizable code that changes how the game can be played. That by itself makes this update awesome.

Has the game moved up on the list since the update?

I'm still fairly new to the game. I understand what you mean on the right ramp being worked out of all but Frenzy. Don't 100% follow you on the ghost not spotting on the last shot.

Loving the new code! My only gripe is that when you hit 60 and 80 ghosts collected, you get "locked" into starting Loopin' Supers and PKE Frenzy and can't make any further progress until hitting the left ramp to start those modes. I understand why it was changed - to give these two modes their own moment without running over the rest of the game, but it throws off my flow sometimes when I am focused on completing the mode ladders. It reminds me of how Lightsaber duel in Star Wars locks you out of making any further progress until you get through it.

I agree, but with a different view....I love Loopin Supers, and hated that it would get lost in other modes.
When it was played alone, same as PKE, I, personally enjoyed more. Stopping other progress...Not as much.

Havent updated yet, but the game is a Favorite that will outlast me, and go to my Children.
It is the Families Favorite Game, with Whoa Nellie right behind.
(Family is doing dibs on my games for when Im gone)

+1
at least an alternative option would be nice.
the worst is having a good SFMB going on right before Looping Supers and ghost collecting simply stops at 60.
that way you really have to calculate when to start SFMB.
same for PKE frenzy. that means SFMB is unusabel from ~60-100 ghosts??
BUT also before locking in 2 Balls for SFMB it takes some time, mostly i have about 40-60 ghosts at this point
i also often drain from 60-80 ghost because of the required shots.

what also really bothers me is that you can not collect tobins spirit guide during modes.
that double sucks! because at first i have to wait to complete my mode and then i cant
shoot the scoop, because it will also start the librarian mode, which is not always wanted.

please let me know what you think about it!

Personally I think that is awesome as Loopin Supers is now it's own set piece moment. Sometimes stacking results in too much going on and for individual modes to be lost in the process.

That makes the secession easy then. Lol

The game now spots (gives you credit for) a lit mode shot if you have this setting on. You always have to shoot a lit mode shot before the "Ghost" target will give you a freebie. So on the three-shot first modes, you can get at most one spotted shot from the "Ghost" target.

Here's an example. Start Spook Central and set the shot value. Four main shots light. Shoot the left ramp...three shots left. Instead of shooting one of the remaining shots, shoot the "Ghost" target. The game will spot you the right ramp (so far it always has) and consider it hit. Next, shoot the right orbit. That leaves the left orbit...shoot the "Ghost" target and nothing happens. You have to physically make the last shot to count it.

One of the biggest things for me in the new code is being able to lower the auto launch power. Now I can use the right orbit airball protector without worrying about the ball getting stuck on top of it, and right orbit shots always register now.

Is it possible to have any multiball during looping supers?

I changed my rankings after the code release, but I'm not sure everyone else has had enough time.

Agreed, in the previous code you could stack everything and the game was very difficult for new users to tell what was important.

I don’t think so.

Not any more. When you finish whatever mode/MB you are in and Loopin has been qualified, everything shuts off (for lack of a better term) except for the mini mode. You have to play it by itself. There is no way around it.

Dont like that.

Got it! Thank you for the explanation. I appreciate it. This forum is always extremely helpful.

I don't think so - it takes time. I just think since Stern went to the trouble to update, we should give an honest reevaluation.

God mode is super fun...I can see myself playing this often when time is limited. Great feature!

I'm really digging the new code, but there is one thing I'd like to see changed. It kind of bugs me that at the beginning of the game the "Start Scene" skill shot automatically starts WBTD. I'd rather it be changed to a "Qualify Scenes" skill shot, so you can choose which ladder you want to start on.

Which ever ladder you pick as your skill shot, will start that ladder. Not sure what you mean it always starts wbtd?
