I can't figure out what disables this game's lighting the extra ball lanes and instead defaults it to awarding 200,000 points. Started when the batteries went belly up so I changed them and executed one of the 5 ball pre-sets, but noticed extra ball lanes were now disabled and just awarded 200K. I tried every individual setting I could regarding tournament play, plyr tournament, free play etc. but nothing would enable extra ball again. Ended up doing another 5 ball pre-set (don't remember which one exactly but it must have been different as per difficulty setting or something) and then extra ball lanes lighting was enabled again. But I keep poking around with the standard and feature adjustments and still can't find exactly which one turns this on/off. Anybody know?

I have the manual, still couldn't find a specific adjustment that enables or disables the ex ball lanes lighting. Max extra balls can be set to 'off' but I definitely did NOT execute a pre-set for 'novelty' and I never saw that set to 'off'. I did two 5 ball pre-sets, maybe one where I didn't do a preset for difficulty. I'll keep playing around with the settings. Maybe max ex balls was 'off' and I missed it.

I found something that must be what was confusing me...
If I set 'max ex balls per Ball in play' to 'off', the extra ball lanes will light, for example when I hit the 'light ex ball' on the vortex exit lane.

BUT if I change 'max ex balls per BIP' to a number, then ex ball lane lighting defaults to 200M instead. A lane never lights, you just get the points. Doesn't make sense to me. Either this is a bug or I don't understand it. This is right off the bat testing after a start of a game too so I'm not exceeding any ex ball limits.

And correction, 200M points, not 200K.
