I am about to start tinkering with Pinball Browser. Does anyone have a list/soundmap of the Request numbers for the different songs, riffs etc ........ just to save me time working thru them all

Thanks !

Found these cool little guitars on UK Amazon. Added one above the Guitar targets - that space was crying out for something. Surprisingly good quality, even has strings.

Really enjoying this game - fast, furious fun. Even better now I have changed some songs with Pinball browser .... now have Paint It Black, Satisfaction, You Cant Always Get What You Want and others.

So how often do people get the Extra Ball lit from VIP ?? Seems extremely rare on my game. Have adjusted settings, have tried it manually with glass off and it still seems very elusive.

Thanks. That's sorted it

It's a shame though that putting it into competition mode to enable extra ball , also means that the Play Record songs/modes are always awarded in the same order now - I kind of preferred having them random. Oh well

I recently picked up a McFarlane Kiss figure and used the amp and guitar that came with it ...the scale is spot on Replaced the right hand amp. Need to pick up another to replace the left hand one now.

I also just fitted mirror blades.

I have some images of orig backstage passes that I hope to laminate and mount near the VIP targets at some point.

One of these. Was about £15 on Ebay. Was also thinking about trying to mount the drumkit somehow

Mezel Mods also do their Kiss lighted amp mod. Possibly could be wired into the Stones ??

http://mezelmods.com/products/stern-kiss-amp?variant=6173947204

Amp - cut off molded wheels on bottom so it sits flat, attached to an old plasic which I mounted on the right hand rollover lane guide.

Guitar - attached to old lamp bracket and used existing screw point on that top plastic.

The LE has the Lips/tongue logo on the speaker inserts. Any place to get these ??

The main issue is that the drum plastics are riveted to the flat plastic. So you'd have to drill them out to remove.

I've thought the same thing though

Anyone got idea on production numbers ??

Place a guitar next to them - helps with scale

Yep. Mine wobble a bit too, but as long as they don't fall over or interfere with anything it's not a problem. They look a hundred times better than the stock plastics

Had a friend make up some speaker inserts. Will be adding some lighting to them also.

Looking for custom apron cards ??? Any links .....I'm sure I found some before with clearer/extra rules on but they seem to be eluding me now.

TIA

Finally got around to adding some lighting to my custom speaker cutouts

Look great

I actually think GI isn't too bad. I have mostly frosted cool whites. I added a couple extra spots also.

ColorDMD would be nice, I think it's unlikely but you never know ...only takes a fan to do it. We got Popeye after all

What I would really like is a final code tweak so that the flipper info actually gives you some useful information ...ie ....number of records collected, hits needed for Rock Star, Licks etc. But that is never gonna happen

Not sure I completely follow.

'Shattered' definitely plays during Record (Hangfire) Multiball.

Sounds/music in the code do not always appear in completed games, for whatever reasons.

Not heard You Got Me Rocking .....no.

Are Brown Sugar or Bitch used in the LE ?? I think this has maybe been discussed before and they aren't...

Would love a code update/tweak. Yeah I'm gonna ask Stern ......though I think the chances of it happening are pretty remote at best.

EDIT - Psw757 Are you looking at LE Code. On the Pro code Request 54 is Hang Fire (same as 53) I see no sign of You Got Me Rocking ... ???

I've been playing the heck out of this lately ... .... I finally had enough of never being awarded Extra Ball Lit from the Mystery, I had it the other day but that must be the first time in months ! Have now set my Replay to award Extra Ball. Its a nice score target to aim for now too.

I'm not sure how many of you guys saw Pingame Journal Issue 146 March 2011.

It had a 6 page feature about the design and development of Sterns Stones. Very very interesting read, the game design changed enormously - at one point having an arm that would swing out with guitar targets, a guitar shaped ramp and yes a moving tongue as we always thought it should have.

Anyway I dont have access to a scanner so I just photographed the article - hopefully you can read it, or at least view the pictures.

Love the transparent red tongue !

Agree. Most people couldn't see past Mick On A Stick and so never gave the game a chance, also Tron stole all the thunder around that time.

But yeah at least the code is complete, with 2 variants of Wiz mode to aim for. Thank the maker for Pinball Browser though ...putting the Stones songs of your choice into the game transforms personal enjoyment of it at home

Yep must be an artwork test. Looks like the final artwork though.

It's funny because here in the UK those 'skill posts' are generally despised on machines. We were unfortunate enough in the early 2000's to have a ridiculous gambling law here which meant most Stern machines for the UK market at that time had skill posts. These were often disabled by operators anyway because they make the game waaaaaay too easy, so was all kind of pointless.

http://www.pinballnews.com/learn/ukposts.html

The knock on effect for the collectors market now is that people will for example pay a premium for a LOTR/Elvis etc without skill posts.

One question ....what role does the Powerball play in the LE ?? Does it change scoring, have a purpose like TZ ? Or is it purely a novelty ball.

Thanks akm ...........I only just found this video. Good job

I think he says at the start that even though it's an LE he has basically reverted it to a Pro for the video...so guessing Powerball removed.

Yes it does. Encore (for lighting all modes, inserts solid lit) ) and Encore Multiball (for COMPLETING all modes, all inserts flashing)

I have never achieved Encore Multiball. When I get a minute I'll take the glass off and make it so....

Indeed. I think this was written off immediately by many - I think people couldn't see past Mick On A Stick. I don't think the artwork helped much either , I think it looks great, but can see many people are just seeing some *old men* . Imagine if it had of had an Aerosmith style package.

Once you are familiar with the ruleset, and realise that Mick isn't just randomly moving then it's addictive as hell and a blast to play.I have been nowhere near Encore multiball. One day, one day ......

So is there any extra reward for Touring ALL the (16 ? ) cities during World Tour. Don't think I have ever done it.

I have this as Ball 2 music in my pinball browsered Stones

Ball 2 music - now Jumpin Jack Flash
World Tour - now Paint It Black
Licks - now You Cant Always Get What You Want (also plays on Game Over)
Album/Mick Multiball - now Satisfaction
Ball Drain - riff from Little Red Rooster and refrain from Gimme Shelter ('It's a just a shot away' )
Play Records shot - Satisfaction riff

Stuff I still intend to change one day ......

Rock Star multiball - Sympathy For The Devil
Fast Scoring - Come On (??)
Super Combos - ??
Records Multiball - ??
Encore multiball - ??
Ball 3 music - possibly change , though I quite like it
Play Records mode Love Is Strong - least favourite, could swap out for something else, also need to change the DMD song text and remove the callout.

Just noticed these for sale

Anyone know of any Jagger figures that could possibly replace the factory Mick On A Stick plastic ?/

Would need to be around 5 inches tall

I see these around often but they are too tall

https://forbiddenplanet.com/37799-rolling-stones-1970s-ultra-detail-figures-mick-jagger/

Is this for Super Combos ....... not yet but I'm still thinking !

Oooooh yeah .....got my tickets for London

Where can I pick up a spare Mick plastic ? I'm struggling to find one with usual suppliers

I have the reinforced Mick on a Stick but would like to have a spare.

Thanks. Out stock

OK so in last few days noticed I was sometimes getting phantom Mick hits.

After a bit of testing and tinkering I found out why. My Mick assembly is missing the 2 small plastic standoffs on the rear - these go under the rear clear plastic guard to allow a small gap for the switch wires. Mine didn't have these meaning that the plastic was tight against the wires ..... over time the insulation had worn off the black wire where it was pinched and it was shorting on the metal support.

I have taped up the wire for now but when I have time I'll pull it all out and replace it with new.Have sourced some replacement standoffs.

Saw them in Southampton - they added some extra dates - couple weeks back It was fantastic, the atmosphere was incredible. Had such a great night. What a show.

Been playing the pin again a lot since

Has anyone fitted a Stern Shaker motor to their Pro ??

That's good to hear.

Any examples of when it kicks in ?

So what high scores are people hitting on this ?

I seem to have stalled around the 170 million mark

Wow. I have a target !

Yeah - I love seeing the Albums coming up when you are collecting them in Album/Mick multiball

ooooh very nice. Not seen that one. thanks for posting.

Isn't that the Records multiball mode ? Still odd - as you say its called 'Hang Fire' but then plays 'Shattered'

Great mode though !

Maybe I'm confused

I'm gonna go play mine and recheck

Records / Hang Fire (Shattered !) Multiball is qualified by collecting 25 records (factory setting) from any of the record modes. I didn't think you had to play ALL the record modes. I'm sure you can collect all the records on one mode and it will light Records Multiball.

This screen grab taken from Martins write up on Pinball News. He was reviewing with early code though. https://www.pinballnews.com/games/rollingstones/index4b.html
Capture (resized).JPG

Did you have ALL the modes completed / inserts flashing ? According to Pinball News writeup that is the requirement to getting Super Encore...quoted below . It must be there , Martin reviewed it !

https://www.pinballnews.com/games/rollingstones/index4b.html

The Rolling Stone's wizard mode, Encore, is split into two sections and which parts you get to play depends on how well you've done so far.

The first section is just plain 'Encore' and this is what you play if you don't have all the feature ladder inserts flashing. However, if you do have them all flashing, you still get to play Encore but when you've completed it you go into Encore Multiball.

If you had none or only some of the inserts flashing, when you finish Encore the lit and flashing inserts stay as they were. Your only option then is to get them all flashing by playing the features again. If you manage to get them all flashing, you skip Encore (since you've already played it) and go straight into Encore Multiball.

When you've finished playing Encore Multiball, the feature inserts all go out and you're effectively back at the start of the game (except you have a rather better score).

So that's how the logic works. Let's take a look at the two modes themselves.

I will 'glass' off my Pro this weekend and see what it does. I have only had Encore a few times and never had Super Encore.

OK - glass off and I confirmed it.

It is as the Pinball News review - having all the modes COMPLETED, and therefore FLASHING, allows you to advance to Encore Multiball, after hitting all the required shots in Encore (good luck with that)

The disappointing news is that Hang Fire just continues playing for Encore Multiball. No different music. I played through hitting all the shots again, therefore completing Encore Multiball , and it just relights the shots and continues the multiball.

Shame but lets be honest ...how many players are ever going to reach Encore Multiball !?! I doubt I ever will. Its tough enough to get Album Multiball completed in a game, without then completing every other mode, then hitting a crazy number of shots during Encore.

One thing to note is DO NOT leave Records as the last mode you need to complete - to complete it you need to start Records Multiball and nail at least one Records lane jackpot. If you do leave it till last ....on collection of the required number of records it will light the Play Records lane (chase lights on inserts indicate it is ready) but instead of this starting Records Multiball , giving you a chance to complete it, it will actually start Encore as you have qualified by collecting all the records.

The way I read it was that Super Encore was just the payoff reward shot to finish Encore and Encore Multiball (if you reach that) ?? You made that shot and were rewarded xx millions.

Maybe I'll do it again tomorrow now I am more familiar with it.

Yep. I can often finish album. And I can often finish the other modes. But doing it all in the same game is the bit I struggle with

Hoping for some more UK ...maybe Euro dates. Saw them in May 2018 - was incredible !

I may well be in the US/Canada in July/August but that's too late for the N America shows.

I had the chance to see them on the Steel Wheels tour in London with some friends ..... being young and f*cking stupid I turned down the ticket as I thought they were old farts and past it then . They were younger than I am now

I switched out some of the music a while ago with Pinbrowser - if anyone would like the code to freshen up their game PM me.

Ball 2 music - now Jumpin Jack Flash
World Tour - now Paint It Black
Licks - now You Cant Always Get What You Want (also plays on Game Over)
Album/Mick Multiball - now Satisfaction
Rock Star Multiball - now Sympathy For The Devil
Ball Drain - riff from Little Red Rooster and refrain from Gimme Shelter ('It's a just a shot away' )
Play Records shot - Satisfaction riff

Might have been a couple of other sound effect substitutions - I can't quite remember. It was a work in progress a couple years ago but I doubt I'll get round to changing much more now.

Should have said ...this is for the Pro model. Not sure it would run on LE ??

It is a beauty. I think I will chrome my Pro one day.

Might want to reinforce Mick before the inevitable

https://www.pinballlife.com/mick-on-a-stick-kit-for-stern-rolling-stones.html

I used Comet 2 SMD frosted cool white for most of the GI and am very happy - really brightened things up, looks much sharper. For the inserts I colour matched - def makes them stand out more.

I have a couple of Reds by the shooter lane. Colour changers in the Stage Spotlights on the backboard. Otherwise as said Cool White in GI. Colour matched to most of the inserts - may have been a few missed as I didn't have the right lamps.

Added an extra spotlight to illuminate Charlie better.

Any new Mick fans in the Club ?

I have lost my pinball mojo recently , not been playing much , but when I do I'm firing up the Stones

That's around my highest. That seems to be my ceiling. I think I need to work on a few scoring strategies .... I know multipliers on the super combo ramp loops for example can pay off big time. But getting it set up isn't always easy.

RIP Charlie Watts

Legend. Played every Stones show in his 58 years as sticks man.

End of an era.

Raise a glass .

Last night I stacked ‘Happy’ records mode with Rock Star multiball , had a great prolonged multiball .
Maybe too great to be true though …. I noticed I was collecting records almost constantly and my points were soaring
Turned out the Play Records lane opto had locked on ! The multiplier was lit on there and the score was going through the roof When I killed it I had over 350 million and rising .
I reseated the opto connector and all good again - back to 100 million games if I’m lucky

Wow. Good work. My highest is still around 170.

Looks great. I would still recommend swapping those horrible flat amp plastics for decent solid replica amps I have done both of mine since these photos were taken.

That's one way of doing it I guess

Welcome to the club. The Stones is fast and furious fun . Get your head around the rule set and you’ll soon start working out some good scoring strategies . There is a another thread on Pinside discussing scoring I believe.

Never seen a topper for it.

I had mine custom made . Then lit with red LED strip .Not seen them for sale anywhere

A pinball guy I know ,about 5 years ago. At the time he was making speaker inserts and lighting kits just for the uk pin community. Unfortunately due to change circumstances he no longer offers them.
I think if you approached any of the other insert makers out there , they may well be able to make something similar .

Someone left a copy of Sticky Fingers on the amp

Glad you got some sorted ✊

Welcome aboard - way underrated game IMO ! Scoring can be tough on TRS - stacking into the multi balls is key to start racking up some big points .If you want some custom sound code I switched in some classic Stones tracks , let me know .

Not seen any others

Hadn’t seen this TNT before. Lighting the tongue is a good idea that I may explore. Not sure Mick needs a lamp though

They still missed a trick with no moving tongue - seems like the single most obvious toy If only they were doing the theme now and not back in the wilderness years

Where are these from ?

Pretty quiet in here ….. any new owners / fans of Mick and his Stick joined the club ?

It's flawed ... but I still love it If you like the Stones of course that helps, and adding your own choice of tracks in is a must. Lacking some polish / finishing up in places - no flipper hold info is criminal on this game.

Hmmm , I’m not sure I’d call the LE ‘loaded’ Some trim upgrades and then a few features , all seen before, which seem to have just been added randomly. Almost like they had to find something to throw on it to justify it.

A Powerball , which just seemed a nod to TZ for reasons known only to Stern . But nowhere near as well implemented. They also used this on the Avatar LE.

The Pop Up player controlled save posts , bringing back a feature that was used on UK
Stern games in the 00s (ridiculous gaming machine laws at the time here ) . Deeply unpopular with players , and so unloved many home owners retro remove them now.

And some under playfield magnets.

I’ve always thought the one massive trick they missed was to have the Tongue moving up/down.

I’d still like one but not even sure there are any in the UK ? Despite being an iconic British band , the game is generally unloved here . I am def in the minority

I wouldn’t mind having one , even if realistically unlikely to find one in the UK anyway - but it’s basically the same game as the Pro but with a Powerball thrown in the mix , and pop up posts which historically I haven’t cared for .

Still love playing my Pro. Custom Stones music, various mods. It’s odd - for a game with such a basic fan layout , it still keeps my interest after a good few years of owning.

Duplicate post

Sad to say Mick has now left the building

Out of the blue a trade came up I fancied and worked well for both of us .

It was a fun 8 years and he’s gone to a good home .

Sorry about that , perhaps I could have phrased it better

Happy to report Mick is alive and kicking / hoping for a tour next year and the new album is getting great advance reviews

Well I sadly just traded mine so the way things usually work ColorDMD will be along any day

Edited duplicate

Well 3 months on since I traded my Stones ….and I really miss Mick and his stick
