I put this score up today without even getting close to stay puft.....it was 13x multipliers held over and multiple PKE loops

I can't do that...that is cheating...can't brag if I cheat

I can't believe what a difference this makes...wow..a whole new game

yes that is correct you don't even have to remove the plastics to adjust this just roll the large one over the top of the small rings then roll the little ones into the groove

if you haven't done this you should...can't believe stern didn't do this...I assume it must have been designed this way, but as they started to assemble they got reversed

ya they turn on pretty consistently now...I thought it was just random...but really they are supposed to turn on whenever a ball hits them like a slingshot.

I will say this much though....after playing Ghostbusters a lot...most other pinballs are pretty easy. I have no problem with the post pass on GB.

Pics please

I do it to turn on the storage facility sometimes...

What happens is you get sub from both games . Just use rca cables to hook up the sub

I was thinking that a good way to solve the SDTM problem on GB is to turn the magna-slings into magna- save Would there be anyway,through software, to activate the magnaslings on demand? possible a double tap of either flipper button?...I imagine that this is probably not possible without a hardware reconfig.....but it would be an interesting mod, if nothing else.

Maybe you could use the GOT/AC/DC style button in the middle to activate a magna save. I might rig up a prototype of this ....hmm

I switched to the longer flippers and I will say that it feels more like a pinball machine now. Seriously though all the shots that I can regularly make on other pins feel more natural. The game just feels better.
I used to always get frustrated with TFTC because some of the shots were just off enough to make it not just difficult but pretty unfullfilling as a game. I think that the longer flippers on GB makes the game right.
It doesn't stop the SDTM or make the game easier. It just plays better. IMHO

Why don't the spammers go advertise their stuff in the right place and leave the forum for actual conversations....it really is irritating to have a thread bumped by another ad......

We get it....everything needs to be lit up by LEDs....sheesh

I have the larger flippers. You will barely notice it. It does not make the game noticeably easier.

The fact that he is still saying "highest on the list" leads me to believe that he hasn't even started this update. What a load...

It doesn't seem that anything is "up his sleeve"

there is no stay puft video mode ...but there should be....

This update is baller!

no difference between LE and premium updates. They both download ghostbusters_LE-1_16_0.spk

having the option to turn down flipper strength individually is great! no more balls shooting off the left ramp! finally I can play the game! and you have ball save option for left scoop....or just turn up the eject power and it now hits the right flipper hard. so nice

LesManley I think you are putting a little too much stock in the "design" taking nothing away from Dwight and other coders....WE are the trouble shooters and final beta testers on what works with this game...Pinside is the perfect forum to understand what makes a great pinball. aside from the trivial nitpickers and whiners.....Pinside knows pinball.

With that said...I like that the coders made the game adjustable and modifiable to all levels of players. That is progress!

@archon. Go in and adjust the flipper strength
The default is all the way up. You probably want it at soft. It also stops balls from shooting off the top of the ramp which is great.

That's too bad....i liked the librarian music. It is pensive....not slow...but maybe a volume bump would be good. Some compression don't know if you can do that in PB

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 switched back from the longer flippers...It made the game actually harder because the shot geometry was off that much.....play the game enough and you can sense when the middle drops are going to sink....slight nudge is al it takes.

I think it is as simple as where on the flipper I tend to launch from...combined with location cues based on play-history of this game and others multiply that by the torque flex/drag of the longer flipper and you have a whole new algorithmic anomaly.

or it could be the triangulation of angle/apex of the slightly longer flipper is actually different at the relevant target "launch" locations.

Yes

best thing to show up around this clubhouse since the update ...thanks for the post

That is the new default...you can change it back in the settings.

I have had to re attach the actuator on that switch a couple of times. That switch just comes unscrewed for some reason. then the actuator falls out of the plastic onto the floor of the cab. It will just pop back in if that happens.
