There may be future updates but acdc code is fantastic and the game is definitely not incomplete. Whether or not the designer added some inserts to the play field that the code team use or not isn't relevant. The acdc code is some of the best code ever written for a pinball machine in my opinion (along with metallica). I consider the code done. Future updates are just a bonus. I believe anyone that feels acdc "needs" a code update falls into the impossible-to-please category.

Yes it will.

This is what our TruColor protectors solve. You get the edges without color bombing the plastics. http://pinballbulbs.com/true-color-protectors

Id love to see a re-recording of Justice for All with an actual bass player and elimination of the horrible resonance tones. There's just no way to make that album sound good on a mid-range to good system.

So will this update wipe out the serial number? Every time I do anything on colorDMD I always end up being down waiting on a key. The DRM is super annoying. But I guess it serves its purpose - piss off the paying customers. I'll probably just live with a few orange frames to avoid the potential DRM gotcha here.

Wish that were true but it's not. Had a key issue a couple weeks ago when programming my brand new Spider-Man. Gets me every time. If there is ever a commercial competing product that doesn't require keys I'll jump to those instead.

It's not misinformation. I never said that updating this will cause a key problem. I asked if it would. I said that every time I ever do anything I'm stuck with no key and having down time. I said I'm personally scared to update because every time I make any changes in emailing you for a key. There is no misinformation.

Yes you respond to emails quickly - usually within a few hours. Your service is good. But I'm still stuck having to go do something else waiting for a key. If that machine was on route Id have to make a separate trip.

I hate DRM in general. But yours seems to inconvenience paying customers - well at least me. That's the trade off you have made by choosing such a DRM design. This type of discussion is the downside.

Im not just a troll here. I have 14 colordmds and I bet I've bought over 30 in the last few years so I am a heavy customer of the product. I have been needing a key at least 5 times. Each time it is an extreme bummer. Once the button that toggled the key entry would intermittently double press and it became a huge task to enter the key. It took about an hour. As a paying customer, I find it irritating to have to jump through those hoops. So as long as the DRM process continues to inconvenience me, a heavy purchasing customer, I'll be complaining about it.

It wouldn't be terribly difficult to solve this problem either. A back end web server could easily issue (up to) 1 or 2 keys per serial number on the spot without having to manually wait for an email response. That would help lessen the inconvenience on paying customers significantly as they could get the key right away and not have to come back later. Something similar to this would take maybe up to one day of effort for a decent web developer depending on the algorithm used to generate keys. As I said before, I might be interested in helping with this if you wanted. Anyways, we will be at CAX this weekend. Stop by our booth if you want to chat

If that was the only time I was stuck entering a key, I'd agree. Unfortunately it's far from the case. Any DRM that requires emailing someone to use what you've paid for deserves a rant. Everyone should be up in arms. It's sad to live in a world where this type of DRM is accepted

Nah you don't need to go through all that nonsense. The fact that it's flickering shows there's a problem and even hints at where that may be.

Titan rings do not really make that significant of a change to be breaking plastics. The speed difference really isn't that noticeable.

Waiting on pops is super boring. I'd rather disable the post entirely. I'd also much rather have the ball bounce off and return to me than get stuck in pops.
