Nice, it appears you both are more wise than I. That screen shot made me laugh out loud, I missed it the first time through. Well played!

Hey whitey, Joe does have a new topper for MMR. It's in another thread.

The apron and blades that PinGraffix has are sweet too.

Got all the Pingraffix stuff. Now all I need is the machine!
Go Rick Go!

I'm wondering if the lightning plexiglass backboard and led strip or interactive lighting kit from Pinball Decals Inc. will work with MMR. It's my favorite MM mod I've seen, but those PinGraffix blades and apron look nice too.

How about us patient folks waiting for well deserved refunds? Do you hope they come too?

Played MMr on The Dutch Pinball Open event ..

Other then the flipper-strength (was a little weaker), which probably can be adjusted, it played great!

So hang in there guys, be patient, you will be happy

(Also if you are into toppers.... consider the Tilt-topper, http://tilttopper.webs.com/, looks great on MM(r) )

No, you guys don't count...

Who sells the lighted plex MM back board mod?

Pinball Decals Inc. Here is the link about 3/4 down the page: http://www.pinballdecals.com/PartsByGamePages/MM_Page.html

I sent an email asking and he said he thinks that it should work, but isn't positive since they have changed the way the machine was originally built. I may go ahead and buy one and hope for best.

IMO that topper would look much better on the arcade game "Satans Hollow"... Also got pics and vids of MMRLE at DPO ? Rick's last post on the PPS Forum said he would be providing those... figured if other people got em; post em.

Sorry misunderstood.

Hey! Teeks and I agree! I'm feeling like I don't count!

Today's news were very positive, UL approval was granted and production should start in a couple of weeks

i vote Mousin' Around LE!!!

seriously though, it would be cool to see some old system 11s .. never gonna happen, but it would be cool...

Sure Will need a deposit first

There are 3 working machines here at IAAPA in Orlando. That's positive! And they look good also.

Post vids and pics bro

I posted a slew of pictures - mostly of trim options of all 3 games at Expo in October... Feel free to go check them out on our Facebook page... Enjoy...

Rick reported a while back that the trim will still be glued on like the original game. But the artwork will not extend up under the trim so it should be easier to remove it without damage.

Me too (Can't wait to install PinBlades and PinApron on it) Just need the machine

Me too, and I have no. 1!

Yes you do! I only have the prototype

Ha! Got me.

Good for you, got pre-proto

.. Can you order the white-wood?

I am still waiting on my pinblades.

i've had the gold pinblades for 1 year, since Black Friday 2013

Here is an Arcade Heroes video of MMR.

Thanks for the vid. Interesting that he said they were going to ship "December 2014" like it's official. We all could have guessed considering how close it is, but it's nice to hear it anyway.

Why would someone give me a thumbs down for me buying an MMR mod 1 year in advance when it was on sale ?

I thought this was the "positive" thread?

Yesterdays update was positive, I'm going to guess that production line will start running on Wednesday.

We're a matter of days before production starts at this point... I'm sure it's going to take a few days for Stern to inventory all the incoming parts being received, but it's something they have to do given that they are not the ones with their name on the product... As the manufacturer, Stern will ultimately be responsible for any shrinkage... Maybe things get going by Wed (12/3) but I'd bet it'll be the following Mon (12/8) at best... With the games being sent to Chicago Gaming, I really don't see any shipping before Christmas... I honestly hope I'm wrong but I feel like this is realistic...

Still unbelievable that I'm getting a NIB MM.

Positive Update...Played a bunch last week, and the Game blew me away!

Your patience will be rewarded, with a game that is truly outstanding!

Just heard that MMR would be part of the side tournament at PPS this Saturday.

Anyone get to play at BAA yesterday? Anyone know if it is available for play today?

I wanted to go & check it out but I work Saturdays , hopefully we get some feedback.

Played it yesterday at BAA. Played great. Looked good -- gold trim. I feel like calling my distributor and changing from black to gold now, actually.

My best guess is that this is one of the sample machines that has been bouncing around, but I can't be sure. A couple of items that are concerning, but which I hope would be fixed by production.

First, the playfield registration didn't appear accurate -- rollover switches weren't centered in the graphics, for example.

Second, during times of rapid animation, I saw screen tearing on the display. Asked Rick about it, and he didn't have much to say other than, "we'll have to see if that's something they can address" or similar wording.

Personally, the second is much more troubling than the first -- as I know that playfield art can be spotted and fixed. But if there is some fundamental incompatibility between the display driver and the graphics system on the new board set, we might be stuck with tearing screens.

Was it the same machine that was at expo? If so, then those were known and should be fixed at final product.

Not sure -- I neglected to ask where that machine had previously been.

But the gameplay was fantastic. Strong flippers (were set in the diagnostic menu at +2), nice LEDs, good feeds, etc.

Thanks jafco! Any idea if it is available today?

hola...

i'm one of the world's top graphics software experts. built original graphics engines for Sony PlayStation, 3DO, PC, Mac, DOS, Windows, custom VR systems, smartphone, etc...
Intel tried to snag me to design their first 3D graphics chipset.

If this still exists in R&D, I'd like to volunteer my services to resolve this tearing issue for MMR/LE and other future PPS pins that use this tech. If it isn't being fixed, it is because it is scary hard, even if they've backed themselves into a corner with hardware choices... but I have the answers.

PM me here for a solution.

Sorry, no idea. I have a vague recollection that they are typically not open on Sundays. But you might give PPS/BAA a ring to verify.

Wow Labnip! What a generous offer that could really be very valuable to all of us MMr enthusiasts. Thank You!

Why not get in touch with Doug at Chicago Gaming?

I helped Rick set the game up Friday. We guessed at the leveler height (all the way up in front, 2/3 down in back) and figured we just about nailed it after we played a few balls. Then we put the digital level on it and found the pitch was about 7.8 degrees. We leveled it and got it down to 7.5 degrees and it still played sweet with the flippers on default settings, so we left it steep. Early on, someone said they had trouble making the final right ramp shot, so we bumped it up to +2. The guy (a good friend and member here) told me later it may have just been his aim, rather than coil strength. We left it anyway.

Even at 7.8 degrees and default flipper settings, you could easily hit either ramp. This game is going to be stupid easy at 6.5 degrees pitch (recommended in the manual), just like the original. Playing it reminded me of why they were so popular when new. They were easy (and fun).

The game got a credit dot early. It was the upper catapult switch. Not enough people were nailing that shot. Before the mini tourney, everyone was kind of feeling it out. Just batting the ball around. Not going for high scores, which is why it got the credit dot. We manually hit the switch a couple of times and the credit dot disappeared for the rest of the day. They've even duplicated the down side of WPC. Credit dots for poor play.
