V1.63 - September 2, 2014
=========================

- Added LED GI effects for the "Blackened" mode awards.

- The 2x playfield multiplier is now paused during cross, electric
chair, coffin, and snake multiball start.
- Crank it up points selection was not scoring the points. This has
been corrected.
- Lady Justice mode start criteria has been changed. Ramp letters and
mode start are allowed as long as seek & destroy and any crank it up
mode are not running. (Previously, ramp letters were allowed during
multiball, but mode starts were not.)
- Fixed up snake lock so it works better when a ball is being held on
the cross magnet for super jackpot.
- Any shot that completes a row or column in the grid during the "For
Whom The Bell Tolls" mode is awarded at 2x. The last shot is 4x as it
completes both a row and a column.
- Fixed a bug with the guitar pick targets that would cause the score
for completing the targets to be one increment too high.
- Added combo rules for stage #2 of Crank it Up. Making any shot blinks
a random shot for 2x. Making additional lit shots increases the
multiplier on the blinking shot by 1x.
- Tightened up captive ball extra coffins timer from 2.5 seconds to 1.5
seconds. There is still a one second grace period.
- Fixed a bug in cross multiball that would keep the super jackpot
multiplier from advancing.
- Added left ramp cross to the up/down effect lamps; it was missing.

I love me some code updates!!!

#3 9 years ago

Nice!

#4 9 years ago

just sold my game - its leaving tonight… I was praying this was not the AC/DC code update that changed the game. I like the game but never loved it - but my friends are going to kill me they love this game more then anything in the collection…

#5 9 years ago

Sweet just got sweeter! Thanks Stern.. METLE is my goto game
So much to do!

#6 9 years ago

Sweeeet.

There goes my 181 mil For Whom the Bell Tolls high score .....

#7 9 years ago

So you can stack Lady Justice with multiballs now? Am I reading that right?

#8 9 years ago

Nice

#9 9 years ago

I'm echoing everyone else here.

Sweeeeeet.

Quoted from Aurich:

God, I hope so. That was so annoying to have that thing finish out collecting letters in multiball and get nothing for it, but on the flipside, it's such a huge distraction I always ignore it anyways since the points isn't worth the risk of trying to repeat those tight ramp or orbit shots. I call it Lady Death b/c every time I start it I drain before it finishes.

Sweeeeeet.

I bet she can't wait to get rid of my 454 million grand champ..

#12 9 years ago

The old Pro code hasn't changed, or at least the file isn't updated to 1.63. Any issues with putting the LED code on it? Weird.

#13 9 years ago

Just downloaded and installed the Pro code.
Waste of time ... old code

#14 9 years ago

Sux. I downloaded it and saw it was the same; so just deleted it. My son was hoping there would be no new code releases since he now has the #1, #2 and #4 high scores...

#15 9 years ago

Just phoned and let them know about the issue.
Should be resolved shortly.

Will wait now!

#17 9 years ago

Very cool, thanks Stern!

#18 9 years ago

Awesome!

#19 9 years ago

still not the new code

#20 9 years ago
Quoted from Ballsofsteel:

still not the new code

?????

#21 9 years ago

My mind may just very well implode this weekend. ST code, now this!? Well done stern programmers!

#22 9 years ago

seems to be the same code as I have on my flash drive.

#23 9 years ago
Quoted from Eskaybee:

Which one to play

I'd go ST as the update was so much "bigger." Great problem to have though!

#24 9 years ago

LE code updated fine. Only got in 1 shitty game before I had to run.

#25 9 years ago
Quoted from Pinstym:

As with every code update in recent memory, I'nm sure the LEs work first and Pros take a little time to work. More expensive, more benefits

#26 9 years ago

the 'new' old pro code on Stern website is:

MTL16.BIN

that's the same code as June 5th update of version 1.6. It doesn't say 1.63 on the new code.

You are so lucky I own one. Lol

MTL16.BIN

You'd think they would check the ZIPs before releasing the announcement.
Still waiting ....

#29 9 years ago

I don't want to be at work today anyway, but now I really want to go home.

#30 9 years ago

I would like to download the code for the original pro run please? ;D

#31 9 years ago

Code updated for Pro, I think.

It now reads MTL163.BIN.zip

However, it is exactly the same size as 1.6

Downloading now...

#32 9 years ago

my thoughts as well...hmmmm

#33 9 years ago

File size of both is 96,065 kb

Looks like the exact same file.

#34 9 years ago

agree, for frags sake.

#35 9 years ago

Loaded it up in Pinball Browser and it is identified as v1.63

Hmmmmm....

Have to go run some errands, let us know if it works !

#36 9 years ago

updating my pro right now

They're not adding any new voices, music or dots…if it's just rule tweaks, the size would probably be the same.

#38 9 years ago

Love this game!!

#39 9 years ago

Its nice to see stern kicking ass in the software dept again. Goes to show why its so important to not rush games out and slow down a bit. Thank god for MMRLE & IMVE!

#40 9 years ago

Just downloaded on the usb stick and it says BIN file v1.63, so guess iam ready to go to install. How long does it take to finish?

#41 9 years ago
Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:

15 minutes or so?

35 mins if you verify image.
25 mins if you dont.

...roughly speaking

Nothing Else Matters.

I'am not understanding what your saying here. Its my first time updating a Stern machine, so this is new to me, but watched videos on youtube and read some threads awhile back regarding it, plus game manual explains. Iam not sure what you mean by verifying image or not verifying image.

There is an option to 'Verify image' when you update the code. Essentially it is verifying that the update you are trying to apply is valid and not corrupt.

#46 9 years ago
Quoted from Jeff_PHX_AZ:

There are 2 choices when you update, and those are the choices. "Verifying" the image takes longer...I assume it's verifying it's not corrupt and other computer type stuff.

EDIT: Beat me to it.

#47 9 years ago

Back home and updating my Pro now.

Since no one has returned saying the update isn't legit, I assume they are all busy playing.

#48 9 years ago

The new code (1.63) is working on our machine. We put it on about an hour ago.

I'm glad I bought my own!

old pro code 1.63 downloaded and playing (haven't had time to play a game yet), will head down to location to see what it has to offer later tonight
