Thanks

Really digging the new machine. For those of you who got their's NIB, what are the default outhole settings? Is this right?
Also, one final shameless plug with images looking for a used color chip (offering $300 shipped to Maryland) or used mods. Thanks and looking forward to nerding out on this one.

Looking for (resized).jpg

I also have these weird spots on my royal’s playfield. Anyone even seen before? CGC has been silent on all my issues for weeks now.

Speck of dust during the screen printing?

That's brutal - looks like they used some emery paper or something coarse to make all those swirls. If you wax it does it look better? Little marks are common but when you pay a premium price you kind of expect a premium fit and finish. I am kind of glad I haven't received my RE as it appears they have some issues on the first offs.

You may be able to polish those out. It’s just auto clear coat.

Received word that RE Topper part is in. Expect shipping confirmation later this week.

Me too:

Just got word the part has arrived at the factory so it's just going to be another couple days if that.... I'm waiting for Ryan to update me I will send an official update in the next 24 hours.

I hope so!

Yup another person on here has those marks. They told him it was from hand sanding playfields. I am glad I canceled mine. That looks terrible.

As far as them being silent they must have laid off almost everyone but the team putting final parts on to ship out games.

Why would they hand sand the PF?

Just repeating what I was told. User NW55555 sent me a pm and that’s what they told him.

I should be getting mine within the next week or two. If I open the box and I see those swirls I would tell my dealer to send me another replacement playfield. I m not spending 10K and accepting that trash.

No idea why someone would use abrasive sanding only on certain areas. Looks like someone was trying to remove a blemish but had no idea how to do that professionally.

Regardless, can be buffed out. Hell of a lot easier than swapping a pf.

Choice between a 12 year old using Braxo or the pooling clearcoat of others...Yeah. I’ll buff out the kid’s sandpaper mess all day.

Wow those are horrible. I mean obviously bad. Not excited I am still on the list right now if that is the quality they are sending out.

Those spots on my playfield. There are 3 of them that I could find. It’s on the surface of the clear not below. When I rub my fingers over them they are slicker than the rest of the playfield and the clear feels thinner in these spots. Something funky happened, maybe a chemical splashed on it somewhere along the way? IDK but on a 10k toy it’s upsetting.

You probably won’t get a replacement playfield for that.

Mine has not had any of the problems that some people are complaining about. It seems to be luck of the draw.

If you get one of the headlight cleaning kits, that will usually take the swirls off inserts and clear coat. Do it is not conspicuous spot first.

id be going nuts mate. Very disappointing that CGC aren't immune to playfield issues either.

Who's going to be the first to try to move an XL display from a MBr or AFMr?

Awesome. Would you mind sharing your logo? Or give us some tips/advice on creating it?
Thanks

For sure, here is the link to the BMP files nearly ready to go, just add your number. I created two versions. The font used for the lower case and numbers is Honda ITC, a very similar font to the playfield font, you'll have to find that and install it if you don't have it.

Fantastic! Thank you very much

Updated perfect.

Really well done. Thanks for sharing, now if I could just get my Royal shipping date.

Thank you for sharing this

Those look cool!!
My original is based on the logo I made for my game room. Then decided to try a few new ones.

Thanks from me as well on sharing those logos jarozi... they look great! I'll be updating the code, adding that, and a few mods in the near future.

Hi all,

Does anyone have the parts list & instructions for building the Merlin mod with the crystal ball that changes colors when you destroy the castle, and start Merlin’s Magic?

I thought I’d try to build it myself.

Thx

Guys.
When updating to 3.0.0 do the settings revert back to default or will it save every setting? There's no information about this on the cgc website, nor does it say anything in the instructions.
Thanks

Answered my own question..
After updating to 3.0.0 the original williams menu was completely saved including the audits. However, the CGC menu reverted everything back to defaults.

I have had my machine MMLE royal for a little over a week now and I have a problem with the drawbridge. It is not going down and sometimes goes up and down without stopping. This is the error messages I am getting. I also noticed the right sling is over active (firing sometimes without ball hitting it). If anyone can help, it would be appreciated. Thank you.

Check the switch that lets the game know the bridge is down. Under the playfield. Check that the wires are on tight, follow them to the board they plug onto and reseat the connector and be sure it is on tight. And the switch might need adjusting so it triggers better.

LTG : )

Worked great! Love it

When I restarted after the update I got these messages. It reset everything. Lost all my settings, play stats and high scores. Deleted my custom logo. The only thing that didn't get deleted was my custom message. So seems it's a matter of luck.

20200529_151232 (resized).jpg

Everything is working fine now. I don't think I did much to it. Maybe the switch down wasn't registering before for some reason. Two more questions:

1. I notice that I hit the ball against the drawbridge it moves back toward the castle gate. I don't remember that happening before when I first got machine (it stayed in placed while bashing it (compare pictures 1 and 2). The drawbridge still comes down, but i didn't know if this is a problem?

2. How do you make a sling less reactive? My right lower sling is going off twice when hit by ball?

Thanks Lloyd.

Not a problem.

Turn the game off. Remove the plastic over the sling shot kicker and leaf blade switches. Pull on the rubber ring around the posts, so you have equal pressure on all sides, not tight on the kicker/leaf blade switch side. The leaf blade switches - front long one should be resting on the rubber ring, not pushing it or away from it. Shorter rear one should be close enough so the slightest ball hit triggers it, yet vibration doesn't. There are two leaf blade switches, one each side of the kicker. At least one needs a little adjusting. When bending forward or backward, get as close to the fiberboard spacers as you can.

Just got notified my RE just got picked up and I’ll schedule delivery Monday! Hope to hear about more soon.

A question on mirror blades. For those of you who have installed them, is drilling required in this machine? I've done lots of artblades but have never actually done the mirror blades. Any recommendations? Thanks!

There’s a few spots on each blade where you’re required to use some small wood screws along with the adhesive backing, but nothing major, pretty easy to do. It’s even easier if you have a second set of helping hands to hold them, so they don’t get misaligned while you’re installing them.

Wife won’t let me unbox until other pin project is done. Could be another year at this rate!

Uh oh... trying to go from 1.0 to 3.0. Brand new card.

Trying again. Really don't want to brick this.

20200530_175620 (resized).jpg

So I put in my first ticket with CGC. I can still play my game, but cannot finish the installation. I was trying to upgrade from 1.0 code to 3.0 code. Hopefully they will be able to help me out. It gets to 81% every time and freezes. However, upon restart my machine shows that it has 3.0 code in the menu. Loving the game so far. Just ordered the color chip and some mirror blades. Need to update the software to get it all working.

Usually when something like that happens, it means your download was corrupted. Try re-downloading it (or re-copying it to the SD card..)

I sold my MMR a while back, and have these brand new, spare parts available:

- Trouble with wiring/lights
- Castle opto assembly

For anyone looking to keep their game long-term, it's definitely a couple of parts that you will probably want to replace down the road.

Send me a private message if you are interested.

IMG_20200531_013732 (resized).jpg

No luck. I tried both with the exact same results. However, CGC is very responsive and actually answered my ticket within an hour of posting on a Saturday night (Thanks Lloyd). It's being escalated to the engineers. I have my suspicions it's an issue going straight from 1.0 code to 3.0 code but we shall see. I can play my game for the moment and my color chip isn't scheduled to arrive until later this week.

You have an LE from the original run, correct?

Based on earlier posts in the thread, I don't think the new s/w works with the older machines yet -- https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/mmr-owners-club-all-things-mmr-discussed/page/122#post-5660005

If true I hope they make older versions of software available. I'd like to make the color chip work.

I'm a little confused from the prior posts, maybe someone can help me understand?

I have an MMrLE and want to know if I should be upgrading to this 3.0 software or not?
