Quoted from Utesichiban:

I remember seeing a mod on the origonal Alien where the game flashers were converted to tge warning beacon type of lights. Does anyone know who made it and if it will be available for the remake? Looked really cool on the vidro I watched one time.

Might be worth posting on the Heighway Alien thread as well (if you haven't already done so) - if you find the video or details please post them as I'd be interested in checking it out myself

#4202 2 years ago

I'm pretty sure he's talking about MK6PIN's strobes he made along with the apron. He has no interest in doing any more and won't give any info.

#4203 2 years ago
Quoted from brado426:

That apron mod does have flashers inside the game. The blades in the apron flash at an adjustable strobe speed while the Xeno eats the ball. Can you explain where the flasher would be that you are talking about? Or video of it? I guess I haven't seen that particular mod before. If you're talking about something different than the apron blade flashers, maybe there is a way to integrate what you are talking about.

i think he is referring to the mini rotating beacons that someone installed on the air lock and on the left and right enclosed feeds to the fippers.. like tiny topper beacons in the playfield. I cannot find a picture, but i have seen that on i think youtube.

Ohhh, yeah I saw those, and yes, those are cool. No idea if that was a one off or not though.

After months of waiting finally the xeno is home.. super excited, now to wait for my son to come home and help me get her in the home.[quoted image]

How does the delivery play? Anything like…

Quoted from billsgto:

I've had my machine for a week now and have been playing it everyday. The game will freeze often, usually when I'm having a great game, and I have to power off/on. I've reseated all the cables and I have the latest code but the problem persists. Has anyone else had this issue? I've got a ticket into Cato but I thought I'd ask the group.
Thanks

So far nothing like that for me... fingers crossed it stays that way. Let us know your resolution please.

#4207 2 years ago

Ok.. Question for current owners:

What is the correct path the ball should be taking from Muther eject?

Is it to direct to the flipper outside muther?
Is it to the Weyland inlane feed to lower left flipper?
is is over the lower left sling to lower left flipper?

I think i need to make adjusts to coil as mine is feeding directly to the lower left filpper, almost between them to the drain.

THank you.

It should eject real softly to the left upper flipper.

Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

thank you.. I went into settings for the coil and reduced power by 35% and it is doing just that right now. I also looked at the default flipper positions and have to say they were really off. I adjusted all flipper positions and the machine is shooting better. So heads up to those recieving their pins shortly, check the flipper positions and adjust as needed.

Mine came from the factory ejecting into the left sling

NIce.... question.. did yours have scratches on the bottom and filthy side armor near flipper buttons? Mine did.

#4213 2 years ago

Mine is perfect except that they forgot to include the power cord.

Looks great! Let us know how it plays and your thoughts please!

#4215 2 years ago

Oh man! I'm experiencing all the no-no emotions of 'envy' and 'jealousy' Has anyone heard more info on the second shipment to cointaker yet? Has the second boat landed? Anything? Being on that first boat is first class -- like Dallas, Kane, Ripley.... I feel like Parker and Brett being on the second shipment. You guys with your tables are like "Don't worry, you'll get your full shares"

#4216 2 years ago

Anyone still waiting for their Alien that was ordered Jan. 15th or earlier...........or how many of you have gotten your Alien that ordered it after Jan. 15th ???

#4217 2 years ago

I love seeing everyone getting their machines. Hope to see mine soon! Early March order here.

Were you invoiced already? I know I saw some early February's still waiting. I think one person ordered in June and got theirs already so I'm not sure what the line process is like.

I was a late December order and paid in full back in September, and it's been crickets. I'd better be on this next boat

I'm honestly VERY surprised you were not in this last shipment. I would honestly call Melissa if I were you.

#4221 2 years ago

My order number is the lowest anyone has posted and I haven't even gotten the full bill yet. :/

#4222 2 years ago

I put my deposit down in February. I was last person on first quarter orders. I have had my Aiien since beginning of August.

#4223 2 years ago

That seems weird , put my deposit down on Jan. 15th .... paid in full Sept. ...still no game !

#4224 2 years ago

I put my deposit down at the start of February and paid in full a couple of months ago. I received an email today that my machine is finally ready to collect here in my city in Australia.

#4225 2 years ago

Mine arrived today. Finally got it unboxed and setup. I played about 10 games and everything worked perfect! The tongue missed the ball one time, but other than that, no issues. Mine have 2.2 installed. How do I update to 2.4? Thanks all!

Dumb question, but how do you open up the backbox? Lol.

Its Tight.... but unlock and stick fingers in speaker holes and lift.

Don’t know what the design is but why would you want it to eject to the left sling? Puts ball out of control. If it ejects softly to the left upper flipper at least you have a shot and a very important one in the chestburster or whatever else. I’d rather have a controlled shot then out of control ball from the slings, but’s it’s your game do as you please.

2 were unboxed at Pincinnati last night...here is one of them. The only issue was a loose connection to the trough opto board causing non-stop ball auto launch, the 2nd one reportedly had no issues. After playing it instead of just looking at photos, I am so glad I have one on order...beautiful machine.

Nice to see them functioning well in the wild.. folks need to see and play this beautiful machine.

#4233 2 years ago

Can anyone let me know exactly what the pitch of their game is that has "OK" difficulty making the shot for Hyper sleep lock shot? I am at 6.5* of angle, and with 25% over default for the upper right flipper, normally get 90% up the ramp and it rejects. really struggling with that...

Also I have the GI bulb at MU th R that is out, and not working. Checked plugs under game, and reseated connectors.

Lastly, My right reed switch for hypersleep ball save, is completely not working.

Otherwise, its fun for sure!

Played that one last night. Cabinet is gorgeous love the new polished ramps compared to the rough ones in the original

#4235 2 years ago

Any idea where to get illuminated flipper buttons that will work?

6.5 here with no adjust to coil yet for me... same boat as you. Hard shot to hit. I needed to adjust the flipper angle as well. It was not right out of box. I will boost power to flipper tonight and report back.

I am expecting that I/we may need to adjust the game to only 6* of angle of attack instead of the 6.5 I have now. I also need to adjust my upper flipper as well, maybe that will assist in me getting the shot more consistently....... Will report back this evening as well.

#4238 2 years ago

Mine is at like 6.8 and the side ramp never rejects for me. If you make the shot, the ball goes right up and in, no problem. Default coil strength

#4239 2 years ago

Mine works fine - I think at 6.5, it is just a hard shot to line up.

#4240 2 years ago

Why do so many think this is supposed to be an easy shot ? It's not supposed to be an easy shot .....

Quoted from Mageek:

It was very difficult to hi on my original as well. Looking forward to playing the new version!

#4242 2 years ago
Quoted from Mageek:

Not to argue. But for clarity, I would argue this is even harder than RnM's toughest shot, which I understand, but would still expect me to be able to hit it more than once every 15-20 attempts with glass off...... But it IS possible that my Flipper being not adjusted right could be the cause of this. I will report back with an update when I have one.

Quoted from SevenEightyRacer:

i am having intermittent main display black outs on power up... after 3 power cycles it comes back on. I submitted ticket to PB. as thi 2.4 code was to take care of it.

Does it post first before going black? Or does it never come on at all?

#4247 2 years ago

I have not seen a black out issue since I updated to 2.4. Funny thing is I got a message they were working on it for the next rev.

#4248 2 years ago

2.4 update, I still get black out screens almost daily. And now this:
