My machine is wired the same as yours, with the Violet-White connected to J5-1

WOW! Finally got Eternal Life Wizard mode! Wholly shit!

Nice, I haven’t gotten there yet!

Did you manage to finish it? I've got there once but couldn't get the job done

Naw I didn’t, I was yelling too much to focus. Time just freezes and your just trying to hit everything you can. I think I needed both ramps, they were still lit. But what a victory lap when it starts. I played every mode fully, no mode drains. I did have 2x extra balls earned thou, almost made it on the 4th but drained playing the 12th mode. So the 5th ball was due or die. It’s interesting though, if you drain on the 12th mode and you have 1 more ball you get the attached shot. Man if I drained on the 12th without a ball left I would have fell over

Yes the pressure and anxiousness in getting there, followed by sheer elation, normally means feel I'm that drained in the final wizard mode that I brick most of my shots

It really puts an almost impossible challenge on this table. Just to get all 12 modes is a fulfilling task. But to get the Wizard bonus in 30 seconds - one in a million. I guess when you get that goal you’re ready to compete at Pinburg?

Either way, the most challenging Wizard mode hands down. The only one simular but not as challenging is GNR. 6 balls in the finale is just insane esp since all 6 never drain

Due to a still existing software bug it's impossible to reach the end of the game!
The more points you score, the more the CPU counts wrong.

Some people have definitely got it. They’ve mentioned it here. Not sure when then bug takes over but I’ll tell you once I actually get all the switches. I could clearly see which ones were left

Software failure depends on the reached modes and the sequence how they restart.

So you got to Wizard Mode and it didn’t work for you?

Often the game doesn't continue and starts to count wrong and this is independent of which mode is currently played.

Has anyone looked into fixing this issue with an updated rom?

There's no more update since L-7.
Month ago I wrote to Brian Eddy but no response.

am I reading this correctly, the greatest game ever built has a dicked up wizard mode?

Hey all. I just did a flipper rebuild over the weekend and not the airballs from the drop targets is really bad. Is there a fix available. I know someone made a plastic but they are all gone. Is there another solution?

Not that I’m aware of I have the plastic and can use a new one.

Anyone making them?

@Psw757
@Jgel
Last 2 airball protector with minor flaws are available, that's the 1-1 leftover from the 1st and the last run.

So only some pins might have this issue, and there doesn’t seem to be any specifics. Probably bad switches?

On the other hand though, many people on the leaders scores got it so its working.

Wonder who specific has run into this issue.

I have finished it a few times, so its not impossible.

As I said, it depends on the reached goals of each mode and it's sequence, so each game is different.
The game is working and you can play extremely high scores, but the bug still remain in the code.

What Version of code do you have? Also have you tried manually testing it with the glass off?

This is an interesting read but it mentions nothing about a Wizard bug. Where did you find the specifics about the bug at?

Fremen What version of the code you using? Seems like you were able to get the Eternal Life 1 Billion Bonus

This post is interesting, but based on older L6 code.

“ It would appear that this feature is one of the buggiest on the game.
Sometimes it will give the animation for the 1B but not the points,
and it will often leave the Path of Adventure playfield confused.”

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/pinball/916481-indiana-jones-the-pinball-adventure/faqs/1396

Guess I’ll have to take the glass off and test it out. I have L7

Im running the L7 code.
I never tested with the glass off.

I have however made the billion a few times.

Its rare.

I just know that its possible even with a code bug.

I think the bug occurs if specific conditions are met.

I guess i have never met the specufications for the bug yet.

I’m going to try and attempt to replicate the error and success. Hopefully pinpoint exactly (or close) what causes it to work/not work

Seems like a painful shame to get there, then get it all to not get paid in full

Link to pretty accurate list of L-7 bugs:

https://www.micsaund.com/games/IJ/IJ_Software/ij_software.php

Not a crazy amount of bugs considering how much is in this game and how much can go wrong

Pro tip: don’t be good enough to reach the point at which any of these bugs come into play.

Congrats on Wizard Mode! Since you have eternal life for 30 seconds, i personally have found the best bet is to go for the right ramp and POA during that time ( since it is the toughest shot and you gotta hit it twice). And once there are 6 balls out there, you rarely get many clear shots. So, while you have that 30 seconds of eternal life, let a few balls intentionally drain here and there to keep that shot more clear and keep shooting for that right ramp.

So just out of curiosity what is happening on the dmd while this is going on?

I am confused as to what you are mentioning here. I have been to wizard mode at least 15-20 times now and have never had any problems.
I have read that there is some bug that if you succeed, it occasionally does not award you the 1 billion points, but again i have never experienced this problem

It shows you how many shots/switches you have remaining to complete

Yeah that was my thoughts, seemed like the bug exists but rewards the 1BIL majority of the time but a bug existed in L6 where it had issues. Not sure if this exists in L7

What version of code do you have?

BTW Fremen you got some incredible scores

Check out this poor cat, so close

I have installed latest official game rom L-7.
The bug still remain.

Brian Eddy mentioned in the interview it should be fixed in a L-8 rom, but he also said that it's not as easy at it seems.
It's been a while since he was working on the code and he don't know how to compile it, even if he had the permission (rights) and the equippment.

In my opinion we have to live with that "issues".
But maybe sometime there's a remake with a new code?

Yeah, doesn’t really seem like an issue tho. Everyone so far has got the 1BIL jackpot. So guess I can live with that

Heads up - pinsound Shaker back in stock! Just bought one as my game already had pinsound plus which btw - haven't owned a machine with one of these in sometime and it's crazy how good the sound quality is.

I'm curious why Pinsound lists IJ as one of the machines with a shaker mix, but it's not available anywhere on the site.

I bought the shaker last year, still need to instal it, I also got a special cable to get it on the original pinsound. I discussed this with Nicolas he said to update pinsound firmware and get the new mix from the site to get it working. Does anybody have this shaker installed already and working?

I have it installed and it works great.

Just wondering if the endprodukt reorchestestion has been updated. I’ve got version 0.97.

I missed finishing eternal life multi ball by 2 lights on POA today, first time I’ve got there.

Congrats! What a payoff huh? The 1BIL always gives you a reason to try again

Lostcause Hey, i also noticed your Jackpot lights are a nice Amber hue - did you change these out? Mine are super bright and really want to dull them down

I have L7 version

Thank you! Well, its the only pin I have so I have played in quite a bit in the 3.5 years i have had it.
Dang, so close, 1 shot! I loved how you were working (shaking) that machine. I bet you will be back to Wizard Mode soon....

Installed the headphone station on my Indy yesterday. It connects to the original pinsound with an additional addaptor, after firmware upgrade everything works fine. So next stop is the shaker.

Going to add the air ball protector to the captive ball drop. Looks like I def have to move the ramp out of the way to access the lock nuts. The diverter is staring at me in the ramp. Easy to move out of the way for access or a PIA?

Thx
