Hey Everyone!
I created a new mod that allows you to have an attract mode on an EM pinball machine. It runs off of the Game Over light in the backglass and connects to the playfield lights fuse. Check it out here and let me know what you think!

If I saw that, I'd assume something crazy is happening to the GI and do the owner a favor by turning it off.
Even if I knew it was "normal," I'd hate to be playing the machine next to it. One of my least favorite pinball features of all time, the Data East era GI relay flicker, gone back in time to infect EM games. Even the sound of it is annoying.
All that said, great work and clever implementation. Just not for me.

Be cool if you could make it fade in and out.
Quoted from EMsInKC:Like always, your game, your choice. Would not do it to any of my games. In a setting with other games near it, as noted above would be very distracting.
I'm thinking it would cause more premature failures of incandescent GI lamps, but maybe I'm wrong.

Should be ok. Feature lamps on games from the mid 80's still survive today and they blinked a gazillion times.

As a Data East owner I can attest. Also Ballys with the Triac GI controls.
Quoted from J-roc:I would get a bunch if the faded in and out.
Awesome idea and love where this could go.
I’m currently working on a new one that will have this feature. If you have suggestions on how those patterns should work, please let me know.
