Can any fellow GB owners tell me if this is normal? ... I noticed that in multiplayer games after you drain the ball and it goes through adding up all the bonuses but it seems to then quickly skip the screen that would give you your final score total and just go to the next player. Almost as if you were holding down the flipper to speed through it (i know you can do that on SW, not sure if GB even does that)

Wasn't sure if this was a setting or a glitch. I did a factory restore but it seems to be that way from default.

I am running v. 1.13
Thanks for any help!

great --- thank you for the confirmation.

I went for LED Color DMD and it's fantastic. I had originally ordered the LCD version but much prefer the look of the LED and the fitment is exactly like the original display.

non code related... for any of those with air ball protectors (the ones that run behind slimmer) make sure that when slimmer is pushed backwards he does not hit the protector.

Mine was hitting ever so slightly and the accuracy of my slimmer shots went way down. He would register the soft hits and off center hits but not the bigger ones that count. Even when I was hitting dead on at full power I was not guaranteed that it would fully register.

I ended up taking mine off, covering both sides with painters tape, marking a contour line to gradually remove some of the width in the area behind slimmer and then trimmed it down with a dremmel. Once i got it to where slimmer would clear without hitting, I wet sanded and polished the newly shaved down area and it's good as new. Slimmer shots register as expected every time. It was night and day for what seemed like a very small reduction in travel.

I've owned quite a few titles over the years and GB is still top of my list. Even if code update never came it is still a title worth owning. Great theme, beautiful machine, great sound, great call outs, fun to shoot (once you get it dialed in to your liking)

I’ve always thought they should have put the P insert (in PKE) upside down so that it reads correctly when it reflects off the plastic.

Shouldn't break it entirely but expect any new elements added to the game to appear monochromatic. Color DMD will need to do a code update to get it 100%. They have been talking about updating it to fix known bugs so I'm sure at this point they are holding out till new code drops and then hopefully fix it all in one pass.

My wife is not exceptional player (hell, neither am I) but we really enjoy Ghostbusters, even at its current code level. For most of our guests it seems to be the go to machine as well. I have owned quite a few machines since GB came out and I still feel like it is one of the best total packages, even in Pro trim. Beautiful looking, sounds amazing, beautiful well populated play field. Sure it can be a bit tough but that's what free play is for.

Updating now. I had passed out for about 10 minutes from all the anticipation and excrement.

Haha - I didn't realize it corrected to that but yes, I shat myself in excitement...

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.

C'mon ... the man takes his time to make a quality mod at a reasonable price considering all that is involved... then you ask him to point you to where you can find a lesser quality one for cheaper? ... support your fellow GB owner.

No issue on my end. I used the same stick as 1.16 which is also the same USB stick (8GB PNY Memory Master) I use on all my machines. Out of habit, I always quick format to FAT32 but I know the reformat hasn't worked for other folks. I always do a full install but no verify.

Strange that everyone is having issues with this one but I wouldn't necessarily expect that Stern purposefully did something different. They probably are unaware of these issues and even if they have caught wind of this problem, most like would still chalk it up to an end user variable.

So... I just (re)joined the club with a NIB Pro thanks to Trent at Tilt Amusements... as I go on the mission to acquire the must have mods, I am trying to find something I had on my previous GB machine which was metal outlane guards. There were Metal pieces that attached to left/right outlanes that prevented the ball from jumping over the factory ball guides.

Does anyone recall who sold those? I've not been able to locate as of yet and cant find my orders from last time I had the machine.

Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks all, I just ordered from Taylor

Just finished up the Containment Unit mod... not sure who was the first one who came up with the idea, but thank you! Much better looking than the original plastic.

Nobody specifically, you have to make from this:

ebay.com link: Matty Collector Ghostbusters The Movie Walter Peck Containmet Unit New Sealed

It gets cutdown and then you transfer your lights from existing plastic to this one.

EDIT: Original Thread here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ghostbusters-containment-unit-upgrade

A Siamese post placed at an angle there should do good to deflect the ball. I would think you could mount to existing screw location.

UPDATE: SOLD

Anyone interested in a set of the Stern Ghostbusters Art Blades? Still new in the box. $75 shipped.

UPDATE: SOLD

"Welcome aboard Rookie" ... to one of the most underrated modern pinball titles. In my "expert" opinion anyway.

Greetings all - back in the club with a recent GB Premium purchase ... what have I missed in the last 3 years? haha

Ghostbusters Premium question, can someone help me identify what belongs on this stud? is it just nut or is there some other hardware that belongs here?

Can anyone share a similar photo from their machine?

Many Thanks!

Thank you, any change you have a photo?

Edit: I found a photo, the building you mention looks like it is on the Pro only. On the Premium it appears to just be a nut.

Another Premium question ... is the slimmer mech supposed to drag on the black bracket near the ghost target / newton ball? On my machine he clears when he goes all the way to the left but when he is going back to resting position on the right, it bumps that angled part of the bracket each time.

I've owned a pro in the past but just picked up a premium ... thanks!

THANK YOU for taking the time to send these.

exactly what I needed. THANKS!

Thank you - I ended up taking apart the slimer mech and was able to raise him just enough to clear. PIA but worth it (for me) since it annoyed me so much, haha.

I ordered a set from Marco last week and they arrived in 2 days.
