It’s in the back box from the last code update.

To be honest, THIS is what I'm glad they finally changed. Not even kidding.

Today ive played around 4 hours Dindt change anything yet. Now it's around 7 of 10 rexs eat the ball when in comes in hard. Rex always redirects an slower ball.

Start thinking that this is just how it should be and that nothing is wrong, think no one has a 10/10 when the ball hits the t-rex?

I agree! So much better than before

Just adhesive. Feet hook onto the back plastics and wing gets and adhesive dot to the Pteranodon sign. Easiest and cheapest mod to do.

I wish!

Once I started thinking like a toddler, I found it in the potted base of a mini xmas tree in my home office. You can imagine how many places I looked before I got that desperate.

In hindsight, my time would've been better spent driving to the store and spending a whopping seven bucks to replace it.

Pteranodons are cool, but did you see Velociraptor Gary on the same page? Gary is the man.

Shouldn't matter, code is different, so scores are irrelevant to the new code anyhow as it scores different, mode times changed, etc.

Is it just me, or do the dinos move a hell of a lot faster in .96? It's actually kind of welcome on the first level herbivores, but man, t-rex paddock is basically unplayably fast for me now. Unless I'm imagining things of course.

Might be fun for someone who can string together 5-6 shots in a row on that tight layout without missing, but if you brick at all, it's a rescue slaughter.

Even though the settings are supposed to save automatically in the code update, I always save them separately first to a USB right before doing the update. That way if something unexpected happens I still have them to reload.

I updated the code today on my Pro and was able to keep the settings and scores.

However, at the end of one game the volume went up super loud and crackled for 5 seconds. It only did it once out of the ten games I played. Hopefully the issue doesn't come back.

The jaw of my T-Rex is leaning a bit to the left on the ramp.

Can I change the bias to correct this? If so, how? There Is a setting for left and right, and then + and -.

I'm very confused!

Why not just have T-Rex alignment and then give one option to go left or right?!?

Just updated to .96 on my Pro. Raptor cage is not scoring but all switches work in test mode. Hmmm....

You used the pro code right Tim? I'd try downloading and installing it again anyway.

OMG, I did use the LE code.

Turn off the replay noise.

Anyone else have a problem with applying the .96 code? The update finished installing and I got to the power cycle screen. I turned the table off, pulled the USB out and close everything up, and now nothing happens when I turn the machine on...

Edit: Apparently turning it off for a third time and opening the coin door before turning it on again was the trick.

So you think it happened when or if I matched or won a game?

I would bet that's what it was.

Is it caused by the new code? I was thinking of trying to reload the code

The machines volume went up so loud that everyone in the room turned to see what was going on.

No the old code should have had it on there also. Was it like a screeching noise? Just turn the knocker volume off in the settings and I'm betting that you wony hear it anymore.

Yes, it was definitely screeching. I'll turn it off, thx Who-Dey

You're welcome. If it sounded like a loud screeching noise that is definitely what it was. I turn mine off also, it annoys the heck out of me.

Can someone clarify... To start a Control Room mode (like system boot), do you just spell CHAOS once?

I'm pretty sure it spelled CHAOS three times, and didn't see the Control Room insert light up.

as per rule wiki

Control room modes are lit by:

Catching your first dinosaur
Spelling CHAOS twice
Starting Raptor Tri-Ball
15 tower shots

Is that the requirements for the Control Room insert beside Museum Mayhem?

Or is this just to start a mode like "system boot"?

I'm pretty sure I did all 3 modes (system boot, virus attack, etc) without spelling CHAOS 6 times!

Please clarify.

Thanks!

Also, got here last night again, but never make more than 4-5 shots. Anyone know how many are needed to finish this mode?

If you do any of these things:
Catching your first dinosaur
Spelling CHAOS twice
Starting Raptor Tri-Ball
15 tower shots lights control room, not just spelling Chaos will start Control Room.

Foo listed the requirements.
There are the 3 main control room modes. Once you beat those Secure Control Room is available. After you play SCR, Invalid Frenzy is still left. It's the ? Mode and you need to unlock it. Most likely it'll be the 15 tower shots you have left.

That makes sense!

So start the 3 modes, and that lights the Control Room insert?

Yes

Am I the only one annoyed with the added sounds in V0.96?
It seems that every time the ball hit a switch and/or I press the flipper button there is a shhh sound..

I think you mean "play" the modes, not "beat", correct?

So after playing the 3 modes, the SCR insert will be lit?

How do I start it? And what is Invalid Frenzy? Is that a requirement to Escape Nublar?

Correct

Yes

Control room will be lit

The 4th control room mode designated by the question mark control room. Available via a lit control room shot once you have played SCR and have qualified a 4th control room. Keith described Invalid Frenzy as a stepping stone bonus mode on the way to Isle Nublar. Nublar is not in the game yet.

Nope, I had it happen to me on 0.91.0. Makes a terrible loud screech/garbled noise and then goes back to normal. I happen to be looking at the screen at the start of the screech and saw the replay animation. Sent a comment in on the issue, Chas just told me I can turn the knocker sound off in the menu. Thinking maybe I wasn't clear enough.

The museum madness insert not lighting up in the attract mode radar sweep animation bugs me too. Can't unsee it now.

I'm having a terrible time with my loops registering. In test they work fine, enter and exit switch for both sides, but during game play I'll have repeated shots to both loops not register, which is super frustrating when these are the hardest shots on the game.

I don't think it's a speed thing either because I'll make a nice controlled cradled shot and it'll miss the first two times then register the 3rd.

I already tried adjusting the switches, but it's hard to tell when they're right when it works all the time in test. Anybody find anything else about these?

bwahahahhaaaaa! if they only knew!!

This might fix the problem, but then I'm missing my Stern replay chirp when someone wins a game. Since the game is on location, it's even more important to have it on. It used to work, not sure what happened.

You could always install a real knocker. Loud as hell (loud enough for me to dislike it in home use). Doesn't mess with audio volume.

It works most of the time, I think this issue is tied to a end-of-ball earned replay based on my limited experience and what others have described. It was after a right outlane drain when it happened to me, I can't remember if it was the end of a game or not. I remember the table lights being dark, hearing the screech and seeing the Dilophosaurus animation. My table is home use so I normally keep the game at a volume of 4. It scared the crap out of me when it happened since it shot up to about 15 for the screech replay screen, then back down again.

This only happened to me once and never again since I turned off the kicker sound. The programmer in me is curious to see how the SPIKE2 audio scripting works. Maybe the Dilophosaurus spitting sound during the replay animation combines with the "beep kicker" sound on a single track which gets over-processed with a temporary kicker volume increase. The music track seemed ok in the audio background, just temporarily louder like everything else.
