It's gonna work well for someone but not Jersey Jack. At one time half of my collection was Jersey Jack, now there isn't a single one and not because I don't want to have one, but I couldn't justify any of the latest ones from a price to entertainment ratio.

I just had to search the internet on the water is wet comment and low and behold found this. We could argue this to death but I love the first line: "“I think the debate is asinine. No one should be talking about it. People who are have too much time on their hands.” That can be applied to so many things here on pinside.

You must be in sales!

In my line of work, R&D, we always joke that when a sales person hears Q2, they hear April 1. However, when a developer hears Q2, they hear June 30th. So, anywhere from 2 weeks to about 14 weeks.

Thanks for the feedback, love hearing real world opinions. I guess the good thing in the quoted statement is that the tone/sound/lighting COULD be addressed *IF* JJP decides it wants to. Bad shots or geometry can't be fixed. Hopefully they take some feedback and find a balance between too colorful and too drab. We have heard concerns about both of those scenarios.

Uh oh, SLAMT1LT's ears are probably ringing right now...

Already started. I just went to iepinball on twitch app.

Nothing that I respect more than someone who comes across humble and gives credit where credit is due. The team did a fabulous job.

He's ranking the Elwin designed games which are all Stern. (Disregarding the Archer prototype which was the basis for Iron Maiden)

EDIT: Looks like your realized that and edited your post.

Put your game on a smart plug for on and off. Don’t all models of godfather have volume control on the front? Or is that only for headphones?

Speaking of CEs. How long does it take JJP to knock out 500 to 1000 LEs so they can move on to CEs? I know stern knocks out 1000 LEs in a couple weeks. JJP has been building these for almost 2 months already since they had games ready to ship on day one.

Not necessarily complaining but more curious.

All I was told was “Spring”. Probably because that is what JJP has been saying. Have to be getting close.

On his streams of other games, he states that he still really loves the game but isn't streaming until JJP fixes the issues. Nothing worse than getting deep into the game to have it crash routinely.

I have a CE on order and am anxiously awaiting it. However, I am a bit worried about the code support. Godfather has a few well known crashes in the code (see Karl’s streams). It has been two months since the last code drop.

I don’t expect nearly as many code updates as Godfather ships with mostly complete code unlike my Stern NIBs. However, when there are bugs that crash the entire machine, I would expect a quicker turnaround.

I agree completely that JJP games typically don't need as many updates as they release with complete or near complete code. I have a Godfather CE on order however, it is a bit concering that there are several game crashing bugs (see Karl's streams) which have not yet been fixed. It has been 2 months since the last code update and I would have hoped that bugs that severe would have been addressed in a more timely manner. Hopefully there will be an update along with the shipment of the first CEs.

I don't think they do. A few owners of the LEs received their machines and the "LilyPad" boards were displaying an error. The solution was to reseat those connections.

Here is an example:

After waiting all this time, I sure hope they release a code update soon to address some pretty serious bugs that have been identified. It has been over two months since some of those have been reported and can be seen in video.

Interesting because we have seen a lot of international CEs on the line and I just got invoiced for my CE balance on a domestic unit.

Cointaker

I got my final invoice from Cointaker and paid it. However, no luck over the last 3 days in getting a response to my email asking for clarity on delivery timeframe. I guess I will give it another day and give them a call. It is what it is but it would be nice to get a response after dumping the rest of the money.

I think so. Melissa at cointaker responded this afternoon and they should be getting info on delivery timeframes on Monday.

Probably true but the image was being sold as “cricket on white background”. Anyway, fixed it.

The update that I got is that JJP finished the exports and are now working on the US games. I was told within the next two weeks, most likely.

I can deal with the wait to get the CE - it does allow for some time to work out any production issues (which it doesn't seem there were many with this machine). The ONLY thing that makes me a bit nervious is that it has been 3 months since the last code release and there are some game crashing bugs in the code. I was hoping that by the time CEs shipped and I got my machine, these would be resolved without having to install a beta. Nope, I am not bashing and I don't think JJP requires as many updates as Stern since it ships with mostly complete code. However, I would like to see quicker turnaround to issues.

With all that said, I am very much looking forward to receiving my CE in the next week or so (or so I am told).

Distributor - Cointaker. Paid full invoice last week.

To be fair, the FF code drop last night was pretty lame. Just a few bug fixes that I didn't even want to spend the time to update mine. There really hasn't been a significant update to FF with new modes for a bit. I am waiting because I have been through the whole game and what it offers. Need that final wizard mode and whatever else may be coming.

Interesting, I paid in full a few weeks back and when I inquired today, I was told that all that is known is that mine (and the distributors other orders) will ship between July 14th and August 4th. I believe we have the same distributor.

I guess we will have to wait and see.

They had a Godfather CE at SFGE yesterday which I got to play. They also had 3 LEs.

I only played the CE once because it was set up with the tilt so sensitive that simple nudging triggered warnings. What has me a bit concerned, is that there was only one LE that I would play. It was set up perfectly, everything worked and there were ZERO cheap drains. One of the other CEs had a non-working lockdown bar button - that makes that machine essentially worthless. The other LE had the lift ramp flapping up and down uncontrollably. I recall someone else on here having this problem but I can't recall what the resolution was.

I am told my CE ships next week, hoping I get one like the LE I played. It played beautifully. The others.... no so much.
