Thanks!

quick question. so when the updates that were released so far are loaded on the machine did any of them erase the play count?

Reason i ask is my Hobbit says 200 plays at 1.94 but i bought it used and just wondering if thats the actual amount or if updates have erased the actual number like a Stern would do each time there updated.

Quoted from Pinballomatic:

When a delta update is done, no changes to stats When a full install happens, hard drive is re-written and everything is reset.

so which updates so far would be considered full installs? from .81 to 1.0 or 1.3 to 1.90 or non yet they have all been Deltas?

Quoted from Pinballomatic:

1.01 was a full install; many games shipped with .81 so in order to update to the newer versions, 1.01 full install was needed. 1.90 is the latest release and that's a delta that rides on top of 1.01. The coming 1.94 is also a delta update.

thanks man for clearing everything up for me!

Quoted from LTG:

You can before any update, go to Utilities - Settings back up, put that on a USB stick, install the update, then go back to Utilities and do Settings Restore.
Then all your old settings will be there. Just in case.
LTG : )

Thanks! i had a WOZ but never had to do anything besides update to 6.06 once but now with the Hobbit having delta code updates i got to admit i was confused on how to do the delta updates at first and tryed to install it like a normal full update.

Quoted from jrawlinson_2000:

So just got my Hobbit, should I be able to backhand both ramps?
At the moment I can not just wondering if other owners have dialed up their flipper power to be able to do so?

yes easily. i think my flippers are both on 25

Quoted from jrawlinson_2000:

Thanks do you know what your game is pitched at?

i believe mines set at 7 degrees.

#453 7 years ago

has anybody changed the LED strip in the backbox that lights the Hobbit above the video screen? Mines a really light colored shade of white compared to the warm color of whites in the game. Id guess its a 12v strip i can just change out right?

Quoted from Goronic:

I placed a yellow film over the light to 'warm it up' ...

good idea! now where to find a yellow transparent film thats over a foot long?

Im doing the ramp flap fix and have a question about the kit. They sent the short rivots that you use a rivot clincher on that you see on all ramps that i thought was all you used to re-attach the ramps. My question is what are the long 2" pop rivots for they also sent in the kit?
