Quoted from Blitzburgh99:What is the best ROM to install in pinbot? I’ve heard of a newer version that helps with tournament play? Is this true?
Yes, there are about 6 versions at last count. IPDB has the fixed solar value reset to 500k, solar advance 250k one posted.
PAPA used one in the past that capped the solar value at 100k (because you can keep collecting it in multiball).
There is one that sets the solar value to 750k.
There is one that lets you start a solar value at whatever level you like for each player, then it resets after collection to another whatever value you like. This one lets you set the energy values and tweak other values as well. (This one reports as T-6)
There's a couple more that didn't really go farther than the forum where this was discussed that I'm likely forgetting since they were just different values.
Pinbot was one of the most commonly modified games on the defunct pinhacks.com because it was so easy to find the jackpot code (High speed, as well).
As soon as my video camera memory card arrives I'll shoot a video of some of the changes in T-6 and possibly the one that idealjoker was referencing with gameplay changes as well.
