I am making them for friends.
I am selling each screen for $400 Cad, not sure what that is in USD.
It takes time to order these so they wont be ready for a couple months. I have some already done for other folks in the IJ thread and T2 and those come first before I can make more, lots of delays finding parts specially microcontrollers. The pin2dmd takes a smt32 100 pin chip that went up in price 800 to 1000%.

I also not sure the colorization is complete for gb.

Not all colorizations for pin2dmd are perfect. My IJ has bugs in the colorization that the artist tries his best at fixing but it is bit perfect yet.

A lot of games have been done with pin2dmd and I like them, it costs less than a colourdmd but the colourdmd is perfect.

With pin2dmd you get the colour files and you can use the screen on any williams/sam/spike1 that has been colorized.

The screens use 12v to run, or they can also use a separate 5v circuit for sam already incorporated on the board. I prefer using the 12v circuit.
Not relevant to the scope of this discussion.

I like tinkering and enjoy making this.
I encourage anybody to make them if they want, it will cost you less but ordering screens has a minimum order of 5. Becauee of time and effort I charge some extra to cover my time in making them. Especially when I have to solder a microchip with 100 pin 0.3mm wide under microscope, lol.

Anyway, enough infomercial. Once I have one ready in my game I can show you guys and maybe I will make some for you.

I read that post, wasn't sure what game it was for? Pro, Premium/LE?

Just get the ColorDMD LCD. Jeeze.

That new code was for the premium (and I guess would also work for LE).

Swap Node Board 8 with Node Board 9, set dips to match what each were, make sure you take pics of what they were originally. Then try out. This should eliminate Board.

We’ll if it’s the node board you’re screwed. No new node boards out there. Unless anyone here has one for sale?

Gotta find the right people to fix them. That is the million dollar answer.

Sent my node board out in October for repair. No news on it since. I assume they’re backed up pretty deep.

CN12 has several switch inputs that are all active low. CN12 Pin 10 is ground and is most likely connected to one side of each switch. Make sure that ground signal is making to to the switches so that when they close, they register. If that ground wire is broken or has a bad connection, none of those switches will work.

Another way to test this would be to go into switch test, raise the PF. Remove CN12 and use a jumper wire to short from pin 10 to any one of the other pins EXCEPT pin 1which is +5V. So short pin 10 to say, pin 9. If the game registers the switch closing, you have a wiring problem. If it registers nothing, you have a bad board. If it is only CN12 that isn't working, that should be an easy repair as it would need the shift register chip that connects to CN12 replaced.

If I wasn't so busy, I would start repairing these boards.

Well that is a shame if true. I think this will just make the price go up and up putting the price out of reach of most people. Kman did say Stern would be releasing some toppers soon.

I think the game is awesome.

That’s gotta be a huge relief!

Wow, how did ya miss that broken.

Gonna save lots of money for sure.

That’s awesome! Glad you found the problem and thanks for posting the solution for others in the future!

How do super jackpots work during storage facility md?
Was watching the screen while a friend was playing and he was nailing some massive jackpot shots.

*storage facility multi-ball

I finally got around to ordering that 12" long #1 Phillips screwdriver from Amazon. With this long screwdriver, I was able to access the 2 screws for the building that sits behind the firehouse and was able to install the 3D building.

This longer screwdriver will let you slip between one of the slots in the left ramp and then you can access the screws and make the swap.

And the longer screwdriver makes for easier access to the building sitting behind the pops.

I did not take a picture of the 3D building. But it is now installed.

I suppose that eventually I might find another use for this long screwdriver. Right now, it has cost $10.00 just to access those 2 screws from behind the firehouse.

Wow!! I got to the 4th phase of god mode after beating all the modes IN ORDER!! And I did it on film,but the camera shut off after 17min . Still a pretty awesome video of doing the modes in order, best game ever, camera shuts off a few shots after staypuft starts !! Enjoy ☺️

I have a GI/ Flasher issue on my Ghostbusters pro. My PKE lights are out all 3 of them. And my gozer flasher(both), the firehouse,spinner,the center flasher in between the pop numbers,left scoop flasher,ghost trap flashers on backboard(both) I have traced it too node board 8d and just replaced it with a new one and nothing. What is my problem here? I haven't really had to work on a stern before and this thing has me stumped as I checked under the playfield for a loose connector and nothing. I checked the flasher on the scoop to make sure it had the updated covering from stern and it did. Stern is saying possibly 8c node board. Any suggestions are absolutely appreciated.

Oh boy oh boy

Todays the day !!

New Firehouse Mod and finally wiring up my Ecto one while in there

E5AFCA96-4CCA-4AC7-AA65-1C9BD05B7480 (resized).jpeg

Just finished up my Ghostbusters with just a few mods, Titan glow rubbers, green and pink glo balls, colored insert ladders, art blades and custom apron cards. Mod possibilities are endless on this machine and so many are awesome!! I will probably go for color dmd as well.

Just wanted to say that the 2 piece plastic set sold by cpr999 went on well. No fitment issues and no additional hardware needed (pro model). Here are a couple pics. Still need to get the machine on legs and test the plastic action out but so far so good!

Never mind

Nice! Are you working from a tutorial on that Ecto 1? I’d love to do that mod!

Still have not done my Firehouse yet. Hopefully, tomorrow.

I have a mental plan in mind

BUT if you GB owners would like I could document my install

Just lmk

Please do.

Yes. That would be valuable information. Thank you!

I have that same Hallmark Ecto-1, and my interest is piqued on how you successful tinkerers install it to light up. Please do keep us updated.

I could not be happier with the Pinstadiums for my newly acquired GB pro. I’ve used them for a few games but this is the best- getting the UV to pop that artwork and just lighting it all up. Playing this is in dark room is incredible. A little bit of reflection on Ramps but actually reminds me of proton pack beams So glad to be in the club!

Looks amazing.

thanks for sharing, looks good

Wait...so this mod blocks the outlane?

you activate a foot switch, like a ghost trap pedal and when you push the foot switch the proton guns are activated (streams will go pink) to block the outlanes / scare the ghosts. When not activated the ball can still pass down the outlanes.

PLAY BETTER!! lol

Played two games after install didn’t stop one ball!

Guess I have too!

It isn’t easy! I’d compare this mod to BMX Out lane save! But this one is high tech! Still need reaction time!
It’s an awesome mod thanks Swinks for making it!

I had my little nieces in from outta town this past weekend and they were so impressed with this mod @swinks. They loved the color choice, the foot pedal, the challenge that it added to the game. It helped them enjoy THEIR game play! They are 7 and 10 and when I turned it off, they were like we don't want to play now because the game is harder.

harder? lol that is an understatement.
this game is the hardest pin I have ever played.

You need a Proton gun mod!

it makes a difference with my kids and their friends as well

hopefully you are enjoying as well...

Okay folks sounds good

I am waiting on 2 things to arrive in the mail and I’ll record my install and create a DIY for you all to follow

Maybe a video here and there for parts that’s easier to show then explain

If someone can show me how to create a sub subject so it doesn’t get lost in the forum would be helpful as well

I’ve always loved the cabinet artwork on my premium. For whatever reason, I’ve never been crazy about the back glass, though. Too busy IMO. Am I the only one that feels that way?

I really like the original artwork on the translite, but I also felt it was pretty busy for my taste. I had this one made custom for mine. I like the simplicity of it! I’ll probably rotate back and forth every year.

That is how it should have been done.
That is wayyyyy cooler.
This was emblamatic, one of the best 80s logos ever existed and so poorly used in the theme integration. Clearly the artist had no clue about ghostbusters.

Love this

I would of LOVED to see this with a video display the DMD display is great and all but man having the clips to tie in with the audio files would of been stellar

I dunno, I think the dmd gives this game that old timey feel. I prefer dmd rather than old and dated cgi/special effects.
Much more difficult to make a good dmd animation.
But maybe if they get the license again might tie in the new Gb movie.
Dreaming!!

Custom DOTS are so much better than movie clips.

Id bet if the machine were to have been made now, we would not have DMD...
