Recently acquired a Pro and have a few questions for the group.

1. Is there a difference in the Pro vs the Prem/LE in the way the add-a-ball is handled? Mine works like this, shoot the snake when lit green, the DMD shows 20 second scoring and it adds a ball, however the snake does NOT keep the ball in its mouth for the 20 seconds. On the premium/LE's I have played the snake holds the ball.

2. This Pro has the Total Light Show installed as well as the spinner mod. Currently the spinner mod is tied to the left and right picks. I believe I read somewhere that the spinners could be tied into the total light show and not affect the guitar picks. Is this true and if so how would I accomplish this?

3. The auto launch is flaky. A high percentage of the time the auto launch doesn't make it out of the shooter lane. When starting a MB, multiple balls end up piling up in the shooter lane. Checked settings and there is not setting for the auto launch power, so not sure how to adjust.

Quoted from ktm450:

1. In settings you can make the snake hold the ball, only problem is occasionally you will hit a second ball in there as well and may have to wait for it to be kicked out.
2. TLS used to, and also played different sound clips depending on the current mode but can’t since code update. I tied both of the spinners up to only the right target as it is the easiest to hit during gameplay so does not really make the game any easier.

Thanks for the feedback.

1. Snake now locks ball during add-a-ball. This is in fact a setting and not a difference between Pro/Premium. Thanks for the tip!

2.Since I acquired this game with TLS pre-installed, any chance you can guide or direct me in setting up the spinners to just the right pick?

Quoted from Soulless:

I love this mod but I really hate the fact you can no longer see the upper lane lights with it installed. I really with they did a mod to fix this as well via some kind of lights that attach to the ramp or some kind of mirror that reflects the image up ala TOM or GB.

They do have a mod to address this.

Quoted from yzfguy:

Yep, but it only works on a pro.

Had no clue. That sucks.

#18459 2 years ago
Quoted from Lermods:

I think others have made cross mods, but we designed our own and made them a little interactive by tying them into the two top inlane inserts.

Does it work on the Premium?

Quoted from damageinc55:

Hey Pinsiders,
I've been MIA for some time because life/school/moving/kids/work got in the way.
I've had a lot of messages for interest in my cross inserts that help focus the light. If you sent a message and it went unreplied, please forgive me. I'm going to work on another batch shortly, and put them back up in the shop if you've been waiting.
It turns out that later runs have a different size dimension for the opening. I'll also hopefully come up with a solution for those as well.
Upvote if you're interested in a set and i'll get an idea of how many to put together.
Cheers.

Image is very tiny and when trying to zoom it gets blurry. Can you upload a better picture? I'm new to the club, but I can't tell what your MOD actually does.

Quoted from ralphs007:

I like taking care of my game by keeping it clean and waxed ,plus I like how my game plays after a good cleaning and wax job.But I do miss making the Mystery scoop shot using a full plunge,on a freshly waxed playfield.
Does this happen to anyone else after waxing their playfield?
It usually takes three weeks of play before the full plunge to the mystery scoop works again. I hope this doesn't mean I should wax my playfield again

Happens from time to time on mine. Usually when doing the full plunge to try and hit the mystery scoop I nudge the machine upwards when the ball hits the flipper. Great for starting Crank it Up!

#19204 2 years ago
Quoted from ralphs007:

I give it the same little nudge, a thing of beauty to watch. Lately I’ve been having a lot of success with using a micro flip on the right flipper to set up a backhand shot to the Mystery Scoop. It never gets old watching a backhand shot hit the mystery scoop.

I use this same strategy. Also use it to knock down drops in Walking Dead and AIQ and to shoot the saucer in Stranger Things and the scoop in Aerosmith or Guardians.

Quoted from John-Floyd:

You all are the best! Appreciate the tips.

I bypass the tube. Go to Walmart, buy a $5 LED strip light, install in cabinet, plug into service outlet.

Quoted from Newtothis:

I’m sure this group has answered this question a hundred times but I pick up Metallica on Monday and it is my first music pin. I can’t read all 389 pages of this thread so I hope you’ll forgive me for asking but I was wondering if it is possible to add more music to this game beyond the 12 tracks it comes with? Thanks for your help

Nope. You can only replace the existing tracks.

#19435 2 years ago
Quoted from Newtothis:

Thank you. I’m sure I will get tired of the original 12 eventually. Could you tell me how to do that or point me to a place where someone has already detailed the process? Thanks again

I’m not familiar with the process but I think “Pinbrowser” is the software you need. Search for it, there’s an entire thread about it.

#19441 2 years ago
Quoted from Kkoss24:

Hey guys .I have a couple hrs before returning to work again and about to pull up the PF.The problem is last ball drains ,then the game just keeps looking for the ball that’s gone .I’ll start reseating the trough opto but if any suggestions will be welcomed as I would love to get a couple in with the kids before going back in .

Put the game in switch test to determine which switch isn’t working.

Quoted from BuckhornBlack:

Has someone created a song mod for the metallica LE v1.80 that can be downloaded without creating your own sound mod using pinball browser? If so, where can I find it? And how can we make a donation to the cause?

Yes. Several versions, all listed in this thread.

Judas Priest
Heavy Metal Xmas
Regular Xmas music

#19699 2 years ago
Quoted from Roostking:

It really is. I played Rush again today and its the same designer, Borg, with many of the same call out verbiage, but having Metallica do most of the call outs, vs some generic voice just takes it to a whole new level. Hopefully I own many pins in my life, Metallica will always be in whatever collection I have which is currently one pin LOL

The callouts on Rush aren’t generic. The band does the callouts.

Quoted from jawjaw:

When you hold left flipper on plunge, one shot will have all inserts flashing. Hit that shot quickly and you will be awarded all the inserts for that shot. You probably get more points but not sure.

The Super Fucking Skill Shot is the one to master. Hold left flipper and plunge top right lane. MEGA POINTS!!!

WTF: How did you do that.

Here is the thread. 2 versions of custom code. One has standard Christmas songs, the other has heavy metal Christmas songs.

Grab the code, update your machine. Enjoy.
