Quoted from Digduglus:

Only mod i need is the lighted tron cycles. Is there someone that mods existing ones?

It's super easy to do if you can even half way solder. If you were local I'd just do it for you.

#9402 4 years ago

Anyone use an LE ramp on a PRO? As these damn ramps as really hard to find. I found an LE left ramp that I'm going to use on my pro. I know it has cut outside for the light wire. I can live with that.

#9403 4 years ago
Quoted from insx:

Getting to Portal is why I sold my Tron.

You are still in the Tron thread tho?? #regret

And then you can add the ramp lights as well, win win

I have a ramp lighting kit coming from Professor Pinball so I am looking forward to getting those on

#9407 4 years ago
Quoted from Shadrac:

What's your favorite remix for Tron? Retro_p, nosro, or dubstep?
Explain why
Thanks !

Movie Faithful (which I think is "nosro"). It's pretty polished and dubstep wasn't to my taste. I still tweaked it a bit as I preferred the original Quora track and there was another that I swapped out.

#9408 4 years ago
Quoted from tomdotcom:

But did you complete all the modes first and have double scoring lit before you entered?

Nope, does that make hitting all the shots a bunch of times more exciting?

#9409 4 years ago
Quoted from ZEN:

You are still in the Tron thread tho?? #regret

No regrets. I loved the game for a few months but ours is a one pin household so it was time to move on. I have a little bit of experience modding and fixing the machine so I might just be able to help someone out.

#9410 4 years ago

As awesome as TRON is it’s not a game for a 1 pin collection. In a collection made up of a handful of games TRON is a keeper for sure.

I believe I have the only TRON LE numbered below #50 in Europe with a signed playfield from factory, which I brought knowing I’d never sell it.

#9411 4 years ago
Quoted from AJB4:

Anybody know where I can get an Eli's Ramp lighting kit?

yeah.... ^^^^ What he said. Anyone?

#9412 4 years ago

Just a heads up they have released more of the Tron mini arcade cabinet 3.1 mods. I’ve been on a waiting list for sometime.

Quoted from insx:

Instant 50 million if you go straight to portal before SOS vs instant 100 million if you have double scoring running when you hit the scoop for portal.

Also yes the wizard mode sucks. Like they just threw it on with no thought at all. If they VE the game, maybe they'll update the wizard mode? Not likely though....but one can dream.

#9414 4 years ago
Quoted from TimeBandit:

I’m currently trying to put together another batch of ten Tron TLS kits. They may be the last I ever make.
My website’s SSL certificate has expired and I couldn’t frankly be bothered paying it again, so the website may be on its last legs.
When I get the kits together I’ll just sell them here. I have a bunch of enquiries already but there’s room for some more interest.

Hello,
Please put me on the list.
Thanks.
Ed

Agree. It's the way you get to Portal that counts.

Getting 50 or 100 million bonus on this kind of game is a massive rush.

Portal itself looks underwhelming.

Tried to get in contact about a TLS kit a while back.
Can I be added to the list as well if it's still possible please?

Thank You,

What’s better than Tron LE?

2 Tron LE’s

#9422 4 years ago

What's the difference if any between the two?
I noticed that the one on the right has the Start button in the lower location.
Does that mean one is possibly set up for Tournament play and the other on Normal?

The plunger--sometimes you feel like plunging the original, sometimes you wanna plunge with an after-market item. I do the same thing on my Lebowski's.

Quoted from koops:

Yes, probably the most awesome swatch collection, he has 3 wall clocks and a lit commercial sign

Quoted from underlord:

One of them belongs to my buddies friend, he’s shopping it out for him.

We were trying to figure out the extra button, at first I thought it was volume, but maybe it was the tourney button

The one on the right has the chrome apron, other than that, mostly the same; different Flynn sign mods, different LEDs

If Tron is revisited by Lyman what is needed?

Portal needs to be more dynamic, higher scoring etc but can't think of much else??

#9432 4 years ago
Quoted from Shapeshifter:

Fix the missing 3 TRON call-outs on the Pro model. Double scoring, etc.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

What are the dots/lighting effects like for SOS and Portal in the latest code?

Last time I saw those modes I don’t think they had dots just text.

I’d like more emphasis on combos in Tron specially end of line combo having more fanfare.

Quoted from Shapeshifter:

I've love some kind of loopin' supers style thing on the left ramp. Also, higher scoring on a 3 or 4 way combo, come on that's hard!!

Quoted from RandomTask:

Consummate any set of combos with an End of the Line jackpot and you will be rewarded

My only like to have with Tron would be a better wizard mode. Portal is beyond lame for how good this game is outside of that.

making the best of self-quarantine!

Now i’ve done portal a second time: this time with all modes complete in advance. How do I get double scoring going?

Quoted from Jazzbouche:

Spell TRON, look at the playfield inserts, you can't miss it. Read rules for all the intracasies of it. How to change which mode is lit...etc.

Are you close to Stern, or is this a personal wish list? Don’t get me wrong, I’d love a new update, although I would lose my custom audio which is miles better than the original!

I’ve reported the lack of TRON call-outs on the Pro several times over the years without response.

Not close at all!

There have been mutterings over the years that Tron would get one more update but I have absolutely no idea if it will happen.

Is there a way to light special? I’ve owned this game 2 years, and we love it. It’s brutal yet simple. But I am pretty sure I’ve never seen special lit. Anyone?

Small "bug" fix.

A better way to detect late balls entering the spinning disc area AFTER the recognizer target bank starts going back up.
I've mishit a ball up there quite a few times. I am sure it would have gone thru the top opto. Triggering that opto should cycling the target bank/small spin of the disk to check for a ball.

At the moment you just have to wait out the ball search for it to cycle the target.

Hi all guys, my Tron Legacy PRO just arrived, finally im in the Club!
Cause an old firmware was installed i update it with the modded fw found on pinside named TRN_M70.BIN but after listening the pre-disk multiball music i decided to go back to the last stock FW. There are onther modded firwmare with better music around i can try?
Where i can find the eli's ramp fiber optic mod today?
Also reading on internet i bought the 2 light cycle from Hallmark: what i need to do to connect them to the pinball lights?
I suck playing this game: its really hard for me, ball always go on outlane drain damn.
Any suggestion?
thanks

Learn to forward nudge - makes a huge difference.

#9448 3 years ago

Tech question:

1 out of every 10 or so scoop shots doesn't award.

In these instances the ball goes in the scoop, then it's popped out again a few seconds later, so the games knows it's in the scoop.

However, I don't get my reward (skill shot, multiball start, SOS start, etc.).

The next shot always (I think) provides the award as expected.

Ideas? Switch adjustment?

Thanks
Jason

I just got this game myself and am (pleasantly) surprised at how brutal it can be. My outlanes are currently wide open and it’s comical how hungry they are. This game’s geometry seems to put a lot of backspin on the ball towards the outlanes and the spinning disc just adds to it 10x. I’d like more Daft Punk too so I’d love some different code myself.

I made a thing. Baby tron pinball with an arduino inside and plays music with controls on the front of the cab. The backbox folds and when it’s in the down position it turns itself off
