Yes, I think with God Mode active in adjustments, it should just activate the option at the start of the game: such as left flip for regular game and right flip to actually play God Mode.

It seems my favorite shaker effect was changed. I really liked the last multi-shake sequence at the start of SF multiball. Now it's just one steady shake: kind of lost some character. I wonder why that was changed.

I've also seen reports on the DMD of "Light Tobins" and then it's not lit. Thought it happened on both the left and right scoop.

I actually don't remember if this changed with the update, but, I don't like that there's no sound effect for a credit registered. Curiously, there are effects for each coin drop, but not for the one that adds the credit. It almost makes it seem like that one didn't register.

Yes, Stern's paying attention, thanks!

Blah, update not taking on my premium. Recognizes the stick, says it's updating, finishes in a few seconds and says to power cycle, at which point it still shows version 16. I'm using the same USB stick that worked fine for 16 update. Just removed the 16 file and copied over 17.

+/- Volume buttons are unresponsive when the USB is detected though which seems odd.

Anyone else have success?

Hhhm, tried again, just pressed + volume one time, even though there's no response on the display that might have been the right option, because pressing select then went into the update properly. In progress now. Yup, worked.

Scroll up and read my posts, might work for you too.

Yeah, maybe it wasn't the button then, perhaps I just got lucky on one attempt.

Exactly what it did for me the first few times.

You can verify that it didn't work: does it say 1.16 or 1.17 when you start up?

I also found it strange that the same USB stick that was fine previously, now had that odd behavior. Could reformat the USB stick to start fresh and then try again.

The next step I was going to try before it succeeded for me, was to downgrade to the previous version and then upgrade from there directly to 1.17: wondering if something in 1.16 is more finicky about the USB stick?
