Quoted from Jerickso77:Which UFO mod is that?
Jazzbouche UFO mod with
stumblor lollypop board inside the thing looks awesome!
Exact info here:
Quoted from littlecammi:Well, you've clearly ignored my request (made in another of your threads) where I specifically asked that you review the list of games I own and focus on making your great mods only for those machines. I can't afford to buy GZ, so now I'm totally bummed!
Just buy the mod then, way cheaper than the pin but gives you that GZ feeling 
Wow mind blown, when I pestered Davey to make Tokyo style neon signs, I had no idea so many others would like the idea.
Although all credit goes to Davey for taking my simple idea and making something truest amazing!
Now about those other signs mate….?
Quoted from LoserKid_Pinball:Any plans on making matching signs to go above the ramps?
Yep, check out Davey’s post above #243.
Right ramp sign is next, hopefully I’m okay saying that, pretty sure Davey has mentioned it here or in another thread.
Quoted from Nihonmasa:Is there a place where we can check if we're on the list?

Quoted from stumblor:J85M and Colywobbles fix up look sharp - time to do some beta testing!
[quoted image]
Everything still on track for mid July at the moment. In the meantime I've been refining the code, ironing out a few niggles, and testing like crazy. Second run is filling up - still around 100 places left (out of 250). Absolutely incredible. I'm super happy, but at the same time laser focused on living up to that expectation.
Pinball is rad!
I can confirm that Davey (@stumblor) has hit a home run with this thing!
Baring in mind this is just a proto and improvements have already been made to the next/final revision the quality is absolutely first class this is not your typical off the shelf mod with a couple of LEDs glued into it.
Easy enough install and once it’s up and running the customisation direct from your phone or tablet (whatever you connect to it with) is pretty much endless!
You can make it as simple to understand as the factory sign, so there is no worry of it being confusing or set the light show so the sign goes nuts when you have battle, power up or ally qualified or active.
And it looks bloody when your games powered off too.
Oh and it’s worth also noting, no pictures I took did the sign any justice, when you have it set up and personalised the way you want it the whole thing is just stunning and a joy to watch,
I went with red/yellow animation for battle, green/neon green animation for ally and blue/ice blue animation for power up, when they where ready at the scoop and then a solid lit colour once collected/started.
P.s. Davey are any of the sequences/settings a slow pulse? I’d love to be able to set a slow pulse of two colours, that would change between the two colours with each pulse.

Quoted from stumblor:The WiFi firmware update functionality is something I'm super proud of - a first for a pinball mod as far as I'm aware.. although happy to be corrected!
When J85M was beta testing he asked me if he could update that way, and to be honest, it hadn't even occurred to me that it could be possible.
C0729245-045F-46C6-92D7-F2DFC30A9C69.gifQuoted from WizzardRob:Davey,
I have to say i am shocked!
Other companies:
From fancy vague announcement and immediate payment to product release i expect 5 Years minimum with absolutely NO communication in between. And then finally give me an unfinished product with lots of workarounds, no instruction and no contact for help.
stumblor:
Super professional introduction, immediate adaption to the CRAZY demand and in no time, shipping a polished high end mod. Your instructions and illustrations as well as the super exact technical explanations blow me away.
I mean just for a pinball mod to wifi update itself with a first bugfix available already for the very first units (still in transit) is really insane! I wonder what a Pinball machine coming from you would be like.
And then the absolutely comfortable notification and ordering process is also soooo smooth.
I wish you all the best. This is the way.
Davey is as clever as he is humble, one of the nicest and most talented guys in the hobby.
I come up with all sorts of crazy shit with no regard for how achievable any of it is and Davey always pulls it off and then some!

Quoted from javagrind888:So after you've completely rebuilt Godzilla, what game do you think you'll move onto next?
I’ve been throwing ideas Davey’s way but these Godzilla orders have him busy until 2025

Quoted from stumblor:Stags6969 has just identified a bit of a fit issue with the Pro. Turns out the Pro has a clear acrylic air ball protector behind the sign, which doesn't have enough room to be refitted when the Tokyo Neon is installed.
[quoted image]
Pro owners - is this something anyone else has noticed? Is it on all builds, or just the newer ones? No help in the manual.
Pro:
[quoted image]
(micro-rant) Why it's requirement for a game that is not designed to have air balls in that area is anyones guess.
We'll look at doing a replacement for those want one.
It will fit, just have to use a little muscle
FFB0BC07-264A-4035-A310-02A0DEE02AAF.gifQuoted from stumblor:Awesome! Really glad that's working, and thanks for finding that workaround. Maybe it's an iPhone thing? (I'm on android). J85M mentioned something about needing to change a setting on iPhone, let me do some digging.
No need to dig Davey.
Okay so the issue with phones (iPhones) is it doesn’t like you being connected to your wifi network when your trying to connect to the signs inbuilt wifi network.
When using your mobile phone (cell) take it off your home/wifi network and then connect to the signs network ID using your mobile (cell) network.
Quoted from ChipScott:I also use Android and seem to have the same problems trying to update the firmware that the gentleman above with the iPhone had.
After your recent post, I confirmed the same settings as the gentleman above on my router settings as well.
I think there is a laptop somewhere in the house, I will also give the laptop thing a try!
Take your phone off your home wifi so it’s running off data from your cell network. Connect to the sign and update easy.
I have had this issue with both the prototype unit and the production unit, the sign or phones just do not like being asked to join both networks.
Again take your phone off your wifi network or any wifi it maybe connected to, connect to sign via its closed wifi network and using your cell phones own data you will have no issues.
Note: I have Occasionally experienced delays where the actions in the app do not update/sync with the sign in real time, giving it a minute to catch up with itself seems to sort it out.

Quoted from stumblor:Hey team neon!
So I'm getting multiple daily requests to do another run of Tokyo Neon, to the point where I'm now considering the possibility. I just wanted to get a quick status check on that, and what people thought about it. Spill!
Here's a brain dump of my feelings on the matter.
1. A big (the biggest?) concern with doing another run is all those amazing people who have paid over the odds for them on the secondary market. I get that this is just the way re-releases work (Stern doing vaults, CGC releasing remakes and disrupting secondary prices) but at the same time I don't want those people to feel put out by my flip flopping. Maybe a discount on an upcoming mod to compensate?
2. Will it impact my ability to get other, newer mods out, in reasonable time? I think this might be less of an issue with our current way of working, as there is always some gap between mod releases that we could fill easily doing a small 100 pcs run of something that has been tried and tested, and could smash out in a week or two.
3. Will current owners be annoyed, that the mod isn't as limited as it was?
It's always really difficult to know where to stop with these things - Paul is finding the same problem with the AGZ - however it really is so amazing and incredible that the reception for what we're building has been so overwhelming, and continuing to be so. Massive gratitude and respect for that.
Scott Danesi always said that one of his biggest drivers for doing TNA2 was to get it into the hands of more people to enjoy, and I can relate to that. That's right - I just compared my dinky little sign to TNA. Deal.
Honesty as always appreciated and loved!
giphy.gifQuoted from jedimastermatt:Btw - for those that have been running the mod for a long time, what are your thoughts on hooking it up to the GI or not?
My wife and niece both liked leaving it on all time after their first few games last night.
Leaving it on is my preferred choice, why have such a nice piece of the game unlit.
It will also look a lot less out of place once Davey’s other buildings (Tokyo neon 2, 3 etc) release and are installed, I’ll be leaving them all on.
