Hi guys,

Great news... I finally installed a shaker motor! And, it is amazing! I'm loving it!

Easy install... super cool! Thanks applejuice !!!!

One question about the code... I was playing last night and I noticed that there is NO shaker use on the "Mothership Multiball" and in the "Attack Mars" modes... 2 of the most important and crazy action modes... full of explosions and "places" for the shaker effects.

I would love to have some "shaker feedback" on those 2 modes. Is this something that will be added in the next code versions? There is any configuration that maybe I missed?

Btw, I'm running version 2.22 on completely original hardware (computer, monitor, etc).

And the shaker gave me extra power... I made 1.7 billion in the test match!!!!

Looking forward to some feedback! Thanks, guys!!!

Cheers!

Hi again guys,

Another quick question.... This has never happened before, but in the last few weeks my RFM has crashed twice. It happened twice in the Martian bowling stage.
The machine crashes... the playfield completely turns off (all lamps) and nothing else works (flippers).
The music keeps playing. The monitor is also still on but locked in the last image. The backlight light remains on.

No other solution than to turn the machine off and on again.

As stated before, I'm running version 2.22 with all original hardware. No error message on menu checking, everything is apparently perfect.
Any tips? Something that needs checking? I would appreciate any comments or possible solutions.

Cheers!

Quoted from Zitt:

Check for bulging caps on the motherboard.
If not present, has the PSU been replaced?

Hi Zitt,

I checked here and apparently nothing is visually wrong with the motherboard (bulging caps).
Regarding the Power Supply, as far as I know, everything is original... only the fan (CPU fan) was replaced.
According to the last owner, this machine has a rare motherboard (computer) that only a few machines have. I don't know exactly... this was the story told by an expert in Pinball 2000 in Germany to him.

The strange thing is those freezes never happened before... kind of strange. As I said, it's is very random and very rare to happen... but, in the last 2 weeks, it happen twice. Not a big deal... but... it made me nervous.

I can just forget about it... or investigate it.

Thanks for your message. Cheers!

Quoted from Lithonion:

It's actually a very old bug that they said they fixed but never really did. Not sure why it's happening to you more often. Mine will do it once in awhile but it happens in maybe 1 in 100 martian bowling missions. If it is happening to you every time you could have a RAM issue on the PC.

Hi LITHONIO,

Crazy... thanks for that info! It makes me kind of more relaxed now... knowing that is a kind of "expected" bug sometimes! I will keep tracking that behavior... and if it gets more often, I will investigate it deeper (RAM, PSU, etc).
Thanks again! Cheers! Mav
