I have a Premium and have never seen this, but I didn’t upgrade to 1.02 yet. I will upgrade and check today.

Not that Im aware of. Pretty sure it shoots the ball out of the vuk. Never noticed a ball search at the beginning of a game.

THIS PLEASE

I have noticed that at the end of a game it sometimes leaves a ball in the sarcophagus (probably due to the oft-mentioned microswitch issue) which can result in a ball search at the start of the next game. This will cause the sarcophagus to dump the ball successfully and shoot it back out of the ramp.

Updated to 1.02 on my LE. The shaker now seemingly rumbles at maximal on about half of the switches that trigger it no matter what setting I put it on. So when I put it to minimal - half rumble minimal, half rumble maximal. It was working perfectly for me on moderate (all triggers) before this change. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Thanks guys. I’ll do some tests with the VUK switch. Also possible the ball is getting caught on something in the subway.

That’s strange. Haven’t seen that issue yet.

My mech won’t go quite all the way down to drop ball into underworld

Have to slide glass and give it a slight push down

What's everyone's Sound setting at? Backbox? Cabinet? It sounds great with my new flipper fidelity speakers but trying to dial them in. I did try to do from 8ohms to 4ohms as some suggested but that just makes it sound low and muffled.

What ohms are the FF speakers rated for? Set it to that.

On my LE it’s all 4ohm and my settings are:

Backbox speakers:
Treble: 77
Bass: 60

Cabinet speaker:
Treble: 20
Bass: 125

Typical volume: 40 to 45 with Music Attenuation at -20.

I also have a Polk 10” powered sub on the game to help with the low-end grunt.

The music attenuation bug is still there in 1.0.2. It is really starting to bother me.

The stock sound mix is backwards from what a music pin should have. If I crank the volume it sounds like some *sshole is turning the music down everytime a sound effect is being played, and then back up. Super annoying. It should sound like a loud bar where Maiden is cranking at a nice steady level and you can hear the SF and speech “behind” the music, not in front of it.

Setting music attenuation to -25 is a nice setting for me but the lowering volume every ball is killing me. I have an LE in a home environment, details matter.

I feel like I could fix this bug in 15 mins. If I could access the code...

Agree on the whole redesign probably not being on the table, but I hope they fix the simple bug that causes it to not reset to the original attenuation between balls if you keep the same song playing.

Is it possible to add songs and have a setting on which songs can be chosen? The songs not picked would still be in memory if decided to change up the selection .

Yes. Sorry if I wasn't clear on that.

Updated my LE yesterday the knock is totally faded. I hear a prrrt instead of a loud knock. All other sounds are fine. Bass is at 110 by the way.

I will play some more games tomorrow however this knock sucks. It is more like a muffled thumb. Very strange.

However nothing polite over here in the Netherlands. up the irons!

By the way went to see maiden two weeks ago bruce was better then ever before great vocals and what a show!! Fantastic.

Stern's joke of a fake replay knocker has sucked donkey balls from the day ol' cheap-ass thought it was a great idea to implement in order to save a wooden nickel. It cuts out half the time on every stern that has it. I just save up a loud fart for when I score a replay.

I solved that by doing this....

Hmm, interesting! How hard is the install?

very easy.

screw the plate in and the knocker down with the provided template.

screw the add on board under the cabinet board.

run wires and plug it in

2 menu options in adjustments 1. turn off digital knocker 2. Use knocker accessory

SOLD! Thanks, I'll be picking one of these up soon.

During multi player, if you take too long to plunge you will get abuse like " i am waiting" or " are you dead or something". You dont get this in single player mode. I dont mind a bit of abuse occasionally ... I have the pro.

Bug on Prem/Le - Sometimes my mummy multi ball tries to load another ball after it’s already locked. The ball rolls off the top of the mech and often SDTM.

Seems like a bug for the left ramp to go litand drop the diverter when closed and locked?

It's ridiculous that some people consider a machine incomplete if it notifies you of a replay by making sound X instead of sound Y.

The knock is iconic. The annoying screech is BS

It's actually a robot fart.

I got a Prem and there is a clear plastic diverter on top that directs those to the small flipper.

The screech is iconic by now, it's been around a decade or so.., But anything to complain about I guess.

Ok, maybe I’m an idiot. But the way it bounces off seems like a bug to me. Thanks.

Lol. That's "kinetic ball action" in motion.

I have to admit I was a little surprised the first time the ball dropped off the top of the sarcophagus lock like that too.

It's a feature, not a bug!

Screech sucks balls

quick question, is there enough new stuff from 1.01 to 1.02 to make it worth updating? I don't want to lose all the songs I changed in pinball browser unless its really worth it.

Contemplating it myself....seems like a new update every other week. No complaints, just not sure if I should wait for the NEXT one or do it now...

Resurrecting Multiball w add-a-Ball seems worth enough to me.

Hell, I'll even give you a thumbs up on that.
Just not worth complaining about, it will not change.
Now if the sound isn't the "iconic" screech, that is a problem.
I prefer the screech over some knockers I've heard, or not heard cuz they are so weak. (Data East, a lot of other cabinet knockers)
Mousin' around always seemed to have particularly loud knocker, along with most of that era.
The "Golden Knocker Years""?

when I had a BOP it sounded like a gun shot, it was awesome when people heard it for the first time and scared the crap outta them.

1979-81-ish Bally had the best knockers by far IMHO

Don't know why they just didn't use a sound clip of a real knocker and decided that screech was better?

UGGGGHHH You are right about the knocker sound. Just complete weak sauce... I might buy a knocker kit for my game. Only about 50 dollars and should only take a few minutes to mount. The only thing is right now the knocker only activates when I match. But, I wonder if I can turn it on, and if it could knock when I reach the extra ball requirements. What i mean is when I score the replay reward. Which I have set to extra ball.
