Has anyone installed this in Star Trek or rocky and bullwinkle. I have it for hook and Star Wars and both of those strobe quite a bit without it, but I'm wondering if it's worth having for R&B or DEST

Thank goodness! My baywatch goes on route next week, this will save my patrons from the seizure inducing relays.

Yes, I had this in rocky and bulkwinkle, makes a huge difference!

i have it in baywatch and it gets rid of the relay clicking soounds and the seizure induced lights.

Yeah, that's the plan when I get some free time. Will report back.

I have had issues with Rottendog boards ... Switched to XPin and have had no issues!

Put my name on the wait list.

Worth the wait love mine ...

Just got mine today. Thanks! Probably won't install it until later this week as my machine is Part, but excited.

Just purchased one for my baywatch.

Well I think I might be the guy who bought the last one! Received it Wednesday, finally have time to post my review, installed in a Lethal Weapon 3

I love it! Installation was pretty easy, except some phillips head screws would have been a little easier to mount

I rewired the backbox lighting so one string is the Lethal Weapon lights (red frosted) and programmed those to max brightness the entire time, so they never shut off. The other string is the rest of backbox (normal white frosted) and set a quick ramp/fade rate so they still blink, but not as strobe-y as they were without it. Now one string is 12 sockets (with 10 used) and the other string is 24 sockets (with about 22 used). I figure the imbalance is fine since the current draw is now so much lower

Playfield GI is set like the white in the backbox, so I didn't capture that on video. The white light in the top right of the backbox is a reflection. It was late by the time I got done installing.

Oh I’ve got a full set of nut drivers, but not for my drill and my drill was too large to drill pilot holes in the right places. Wood was a little stiff to do it by hand (also I was impatient and eager to install!)

Have this board in my Baywatch (came with it), seems to work great! Following thread for news of future batches.

Sadly sold my TFTC have a
EnerGI Maestro - LED GI Smoother (Data East) available for sale! Never used!

PM sent

Anyone have one or two of these boards for sale? I added myself to the wait list on the site too.

Joined the waitlist!

I installed this board on my Baywatch and I have to say, it was worth every penny! I like to play in the dark, and couldn't before the board due to seizure multiball/modes/etc. Plus that clicking! What were they thinking?!?! Anyways, just wanted to say thanks to caker137 for making this awesome little board and making DE games that much more enjoyable!

Is there any reason why someone couldn't install both this and a PinSound board in the same game? I'm thinking about installing both in my GnR.

Nope. Have both in mine, along with the LED OCD. PinSound is running on a separate power supply, though.

Looking for one of these for my tftc. I added my name to the list.

If you own a data east or Sega game and have leds in it, this is simply a must have mod. For starters, it completely gets rid of the relay clicking in the backbox. Second, it eliminates seizure inducing led flickering and lastly it smooths out the harshness of the leds. I had one on my Baywach and it was such a huge improvement. I now have a tftc and it sorely needs it so I’m chomping at the bit to get one.

Great work Craig!

Added to the wait list. My TFTC always gets the special treatment and I'm looking forward to this.

Thus far, since owning the game, everything is decked out in LED except my backbox. I found that any LED in there makes the glare unbearable and only incandescent allows it to not be noticeable. Looking forward to finally installing those LEDs to match the rest of the game and be able to tone it down a bit.

Thanks Caker for making these!

Have you tried non-glare glass? I installed some fairly bright LED's in the backbox of my Baywatch. The translite looked great, but the reflection off the playfield glass was very distracting, so I switched it out for a sheet of Invisiglass. The new glass made a huge difference! It toned down the reflection and made for a much more enjoyable playing experience.

I haven't tried the invisiglass, but have certainly thought about it. I wouldn't mind springing for it, but this could be the next best alternative and not drop $250-$300 on the glass. Plus, I get all the cool features and things to play around with, with this board that's half the price or more. Right?

Awesome! Thank you for the heads up. I'll be ready to rock when you are.

Awesome, thanks! Just ordered one for a project BTTF (or maybe Maverick or Simpsons if I ever LED those).

I leave mine on default.

I posted the video before, but I'll reiterate my settings.

I rewired the backbox to feature the title of the game (Lethal Weapon 3) and I have that string on full all the time. I have the rest of the backback lighting down a bit to reduce glare.

I had the playfield up and down fade slowed down but I factory reset the board recently and haven't adjusted the fade settings again. I recently got a PinSound board and on this machine it actually affects the GI blinking. There are 3 selectable songs and the GI used to flash in time with them, but the PinSound board doesn't do that. Apparently its tied to the ROM/orginal soundboard because those still work fine. This was where the LED lack of fade was most noticeable, so without that happening, stock settings seem to be fine.

I played around with the settings for about 5 or 10 minutes until it was were I was comfortable with. I may revisit it though and give it more time.

Received and installed on my DE Torpedo Alley last night. This is an awesome mod and it allowed me to do exactly what I wanted - dim the lighting in the backbox and no more relay clicking or play field blindness. It was installed with an xpin power supply and xpin PPB Board with no issues.

Thanks for making this - highly recommended! Adam

I tweaked the heck out of the levels, when I put it in the IJ4.

Does this fix ghosting issues? And if I wanna order 2 how can I do that? I can’t find an option to increase the order number. Do I just place 2 orders?

I just installed one of these in my Data East Star Wars. WOW!!! I had never heard of this mod until a month ago when I stumbled across this thread. So glad I did!!! The game just has a whole different layer of polish...the relay clicking is gone, the harsh strobing effect is gone, the subtle slow rise and fall effect of the backbox are fantastic. This thing will go in every Data East game that comes through my door moving forward, that's for sure! Amazing mod...subtle but VERY impactful. It takes one of the biggest complaints about DE games and totally makes it a moot point.
