Quoted from ZMeny:

The path from Pro to Promium continues...
Added ramp lighting, colored posts, and Pin Stadium lights

That's a drawback of Pinstadium - or any LED strips - installed on the side walls when the game has plastic ramp returns along the sides. You get the reflections from the LEDs on the plastic. I have moved around my Pinstadium kit from game to game and Mustang and Metallica have the same issue. Even though Met has wireforms, the plastics below really reflect the LEDs.

Not an issue on Baywatch or Big Hurt, my two games that really needed a light upgrade, since they do not have anything under the LEDs to reflect off of.

Quoted from pinmister:

Mirror blades look fantastic, not sure I like the Pinstadium set up.

Yeah the Pin Stadium won't look so great on this game since the LEDs majorly reflect off the plastic ramp returns that run along the walls. Not a good look.

Figures that I played it for the first time today and was very underwhelmed, and now there's a huge code update.

Received a pro model from a friend in a temp trade. I have this and Iron Maiden pro and he has my Avengers and Jurassic pro.

Already got some achievements on Galaxy. I have the 1.06 Cleland code too, and played that for a while first since that's what my friend had installed, while waiting for the 1.09 download and image writing.

I prefer the Stern soundtrack based on the quick comparisons. The custom soundtrack is just too much "changing the radio stations", even with movie dialogue off and the speech attenuation low (meaning 15, not -15).

Looking forward to making my own version after playing a bit though. Any owners with ideas, let me know.

Quoted from bobukcat:

The voice acting in the Stern code is terrible!

Not in my opinion. Certainly other games have been worse. I wouldn’t bother taking the time to replace any of that dialogue with movie dialogue because when you start taking dialogue from the movies, you’re going to get background music and background noise and it’s going to be tough to match it up to a high quality.

I’ve already found the setting that lets you turn off movie dialogue. I find that the game talks way too much and then when you have songs playing lyrics all the time, it’s just a mishmash of people speaking and singing.

Quoted from Utesichiban:

My Orb shot and multiball activation hasn't been working correctly for several months now. Initially, the drop target spring came off but before I discovered that was the issue, I shut off the orb function in settings. Once the spring was reinstalled, I changed it back in settings but it hasn't worked normally since. I've reinstalled code and checked in diagnostics but can't figure out the issue.
When I hit the orb shot and it enters that area, when the drop target should pop up to capture the ball, it doesn't so orb multiball doesn't go through the necessaary process during play to activate.
Any ideas? I have a tech coming over tomorrow afternoon so any insight or ideas are very appreciated.

I started having issue with the drop target not going down when the game was trying to put it down. The ball would get stuck in there and the games ball search would not release it because the drop target was not coming down. It’s my friends game that I am temporarily borrowing and he said he started having issues with it and thought it was Code related.

I popped back in the 1.06 memory card with no change and the coil tests in the settings would not lower the drop target.

Last night I took a look under the Playfield and saw there was a spring attached to it. But the spring was attached at the halfway mark of the spring, meaning the spring was too long and it was shortened up by attaching it and leaving a lot of slack.

I removed the spring and it works perfectly now.
I was coming into this thread to see how it was supposed to look and if the spring was supposed to be there at all or if it was a fix attempted by my friend.

Just an FYI. I will be returning my friend's Guardians Pro soon. Here's a video showing my final mod of the code.
