is there a setting to shut off the random scream . I have it in a restaurant and it drives people insane . sorry if this has been answered previously . thanks

Yes - just go to the adjustments menu. It's called something like "Scream Feature" - On/Off

Please tell me you have video of customers freaking out over the scream?!?!

Anyone notice the colored inserts like the Extra Ball is not bright like it used to be....I messed around with the Insert Settings, I lowered them then put them back to factory defaults and still dull.

Adjustments I made - Changed Auto Launch to 155, but then put it up to 200 which works fine....ball doesn't hit the Stay PUft bracket.

Put Shaker to Moderate, but curious as to what the Setting is "Long"?

Lowered to flipper strength but didn't like it, put back to factory default....I don't get airballs off the 2X and 3X as I installed Swinks Brackets....Might get 1 airball out of 20 with them.

If anything, I think my inserts seem brighter. At least more colorful.

I can't tell you the exact situation I was in, but I heard that call out last night. I'm sure that it wasn't a drain though.

Is anyone else having issues passing the ball from flipper to flipper while cradling the ball? I can't do it with the new code, the flippers just don't respond.

That's the only issue I've come across so far. I hit a 6.9 billion last night and I'm looking forward to playing all weekend. I love how the translite will now dim and flicker depending on whats going on.

Have not noticed this. Did you lower the coil strength from stock settings?

No I left the flipper strength at stock settings. I guess I could lower it and give it a try

I lowered the flipper strength to soft and am having no issues with passing or airballs now.

Couple of glitches I notice, and don't know if this has done this for others. (on LE/Premium Roms)

During Spook Central. After you get the value locked in. The 4 shots come up for the guys, and sometimes after hitting the who brought the dog shot or hitting something else. the PKE shot will qualify without hitting it.

Also happened during who brought the dog with the spinner shot, without actually hitting it.

Also had it when I was doing Spook Central. Again after qualifying value. I had river of slime going, and river of slime is on top of the left ramp white arrow i need to qualify. I hit the ramp and it gave me river of slime, but didn't get credit for the shot for Spook Central. Don't know if this was intentional? Like you have to get rid of the slime before you can get your shot?

Loving the code. Not moaning, just pointing out, the new callouts for ' who brought the dog ' are not of the same high standard quality wise as the rest of the sounds on this machine. They sound like I recorded them with an old tape deck and a microphone. Really stands out to me. Still, nice to hear something other than the original sound clip.

Neo - you might be hitting the "Ghost" target during modes, and not realizing that it will spot a mode shot for you. This can be turned off in the setting BTW.

The game still kicks my ass....but now....I want to keep playing

I did notice this as well.

And have you reached mass hysteria where the "dogs and cats living together" is almost as loud as the scream scare.

No, is it poor quality too? The callouts I mentioned only stand out because the whole sound package on this machine is otherwise amazing, has been since day one.

Not bad quality, just really loud. I'm sure they wanted it that way though
I know what you mean about the others, seems strange they had to add different clips to that. I hear we got one just as much.

One weird bug I found was when Who Brought the Dog times our with one shot remaining, the insert shuts off, but when I requalify modes, WBTD is solid, and my next mode is spook central.

that could be. I didn't know that was a thing. How many times do you have to hit it to qualify?

Also for the second storage lock, when ray says ”Light is green, Trap is clean” ... so awesome

If it’s not your first or last mode shot, you can hit the Ghost target to spot ONE shot for that mode.

yes i'm going to have to turn that off. don't need it that easy.

We turned that off too

what's it called in settings?

Interesting, I haven't heard that yet. Curious what they used it for.

I like the Ghost target on, but modes continue ball to ball. Like I said the target only spots 1 shot a mode, and it’s a dangerous shot itself. Plus it adds variety

I’ll Have to call TEK SUPPORT on Monday as my wife thought the same thing and she doesn’t notice the things like I do a lot of times

I sent an email to Dwight regarding that because that would’ve been an awesome call out also posted it on the pinside

<<I also had 10% of score from Tobin, which equated to over 300mil from a random award!>>

If you think that's bad, I heard Escher was able to get 6x running then collect 60% score from Tobins which can be worth Billions!

How easy would you guys say this is to recreate conditions?
-First score 3 Billion or so
-Now light Tobins mystery via slot pops, or 20 ghost collect (skill shot method does not count because it cancels pf multipliers I think)
-Start 6x playfield (without accidentally hitting left scoop)
-Hit left scoop
-Pray Tobins grants 10% random award (or at least relights Tobins to hit immediately again for a second chance! but I think it's broken)

My questions are, How random is this award? How easy is this to recreate? If true, this might be the only strategy to play.

Lots of risk/reward with this. Everything has to be perfect in order to make that happen. Total luck from tobins

some things i noticed:

tobins spirit sometimes wont light up when getting tobins as a reward again. (same in 1.13.)
video mode sometimes wont light up from tobins reward. (same in 1.13.)

sometimes i wont get into SFMB when i hit the left ramp during a mode, it just removes the green SF insert light.

ghost collecting stops in SFMB when hitting 60 or 80 ghosts, because of looping/pke frenzy. can you confirm?

during WCWS on the librian ladder (2 ball MB) sometimes i get a 3rd ball without getting add-a-ball, is this normal?

yeah, i have had an extra ball during god mode. i drained, extra ball animation appeared and i started with ball one of three in a normal game.

I can confirm this - yes

You may not have noticed how you get the add-a-ball - maybe it was from a pops award, versus the the left scoop

Bobby Brown and higher and higher music coming tonight

Premium only

That’s what I’m talkin bout!

Hey, can anyone point me to how to start “are you a god” mode? I searched and don’t see anything relevant for some reason

Silly, silly fun! Thousand times more enjoyable to get these kind of scores now.

I’ve bested 26B in the previous code, but under the perfect set of circumstances. I couldn’t play through the whole game to achieve it. All right ladder attempts to get to stay puft and max out the Stay puft multiplier with the PF 6X.

I've been averaging lower scores on the new code. I'm so used to the old code that my strategies don't work. I did get to stay puft, though, which was nice to see.

I stunk on the new code as well for the first couple of days. My problem was the flipper power. I set it to soft at first, but it didn't have enough snap. Normal is good, but it doesn't feel the same as the original. It took me a while to find my shots again.

Old strategies seem to be obsolete. You don't have to get to StayPuft if you're looking for scores. It's all MB now. Spooked Librarian is my go to start now. It's only two modes to get to WCWS for potential billions.

for those talking about mystery+luck : did you check for a "competition" mode ? as for example with AFM, and than mystery always give 50.000.000 to evbd, which is than fair (if you're competing)

this is of course true for all pinball giving a mystery, the better example is BS DRACULA... as sometime you win a game with points from mystery :/

Code is in on my Premium ...... now I just need to wait till my hardware set comes back from powdercoat. Illusion Purple .

So i love the code. I seen online that the music was changed for different modes. Like someone had added bobby brown song from gb 2 movie. Just wondering if anyones done this. Thanks.

yeah - that was me! I've updated the code to work with this lastest version. See below:

premium only:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ghostbusters-116-custom-mix-bobby-brown-and-higher-and-higher

Scoring was instantly higher for me. My average game is well over 300M now

I want a pro version.

Fun with God mode:
- Set machine to "God Mode"
- Start game, but DONT PLUNGE YET
- Set game back to "Normal"
- Now plunge away!

You'll start with God mode. Once it ends, you continue with 2 more balls and a regular game, allowing you to even register a regular highscore!

Is that cheating or just hacking?

Cheating hacker!

but it goes into regular game mode and stays if you have more than 1 player....

This work for Le? Are they the same? Forgot what I downloaded last time. Thanks

Never mind read the thread!

Neither...it's just having too much time on your hands to look for stuff like that!!
