The Scooby family friendly thread just became the purple cocks thread…eesh

I’ve had Scooby CE for a few days and this game is phenomenal...Spooky's best game by far! I'm on factory settings at medium difficulty and was struggling with the vicious outlanes. The best I could do was a few mystery modes and maybe one character mode. Tonight I moved both outlane posts up to the top position and also adjusted the amplifier settings to really crank the bass and immediately it's like a different game! My previous GC went from 5.4M to 25.6M within a few games...I just blew it up and had all villain inserts lit and maybe 3 character mode inserts by the end of the game. Obtained two extra balls during that game and unmasked a bunch of villains. This game is simply awesome, what an experience when you get into the zone! The left and right outlanes still drain, but nowhere near the way they were on stock post positions. It's a tad too easy now, so I might remove the rubber rings from the outlane posts. Surprisingly, I didn't reach any of the wizard modes on that massive game, but I must have been close. Will keep trying!

Note: Had to dremel off some of the threads on the left outlane post to allow it to sit under the board that sits over it. Not a big deal and I didn't have to purchase any parts. Took all of 15 minutes to move both posts.

I did the same thing the other night, lubricated both spinners with Super Lube and they spin forever now. Getting MM MB like three times a game now LOL. The stuff really works!

Is there an issue with the game losing track of balls during heavy multiball play in the latest code? Have had this happen a few times and a game reboot was necessary to resolve it. The game will end the ball abruptly and kill flippers while other balls are still in play and even ended a game when I had 2 extra balls achieved. Anything to look for in switch test mode, ball trough sensors, mystery machine optos/sensors, shooter lane switch etc? Is it safe to download and install the older 9/17/23 code to rule out possible code glitches?

Thanks much guys, the game played flawlessly for about a week no matter how many multiballs were going or how long a game was. I just installed 7 new mirror balls about a week ago and also suspected magnetism could be the issue. The issue has progressed slowly over back to back games so this makes perfect sense. Will change the balls out first and put game into switch test mode to verify trough and other switches are behaving properly.

Sure enough, the brand new mirror balls are magnetized. I can roll one and the ball next to it follows. Will change them now and see if issues go away

Replacing the magnetized mirror balls with 7 new balls immediately solved all issues with the game losing track of balls and going haywire. I played a 12M 15 minute game through most mystery modes, had mystery and Scooby snacks multiball, extra balls and even played through Velma’s glasses mode for the first time. The game didn’t miss a single beat. Scooby is sooooooooo good when everything works the way it should. Do NOT install mirror balls in this game or be prepared to demagnetize them often!

I frequently have balls get stuck in the same spot and have to lift the glass. Frustrating…please post a solution if you find one

Funny how it's the simplest things that fix a game that's gone completely haywire, huh? My Scooby was doing the same crap and after installing 7 new non-magnetized balls, it plays flawlessly again. I actually installed new Ninja mirror balls because that's all I had, so I'm sure they'll become magnetized again after some time, I just love the way they look and play and have them in all of my pins. Glad you (we) figured out our game issues and it was something simple. Scooby is an awesome game when everything is working as it should! Moving those outlane posts in really helped me blow up the games scores as it was a complete drain monster before. I've reached "Gang's All Here' wizard mode, but not the other two modes yet...hasn't anyone else completed all three wizard modes? Looking forward to more code updates and polish for Scooby

Has anyone reached or completed the three wizard modes? I reached Gangs All Here last time I put some time on Scooby, but it felt like the other two wizard modes were out of reach or not coded into the game yet? Just curious if anyone’s completed all wizard modes in this game

I only did it once and don’t remember much and there’s nothing in the high score table for wizard modes. 25M is my best as Daphne. Haven’t seen the Scooby Doo Where Are You and Would’ve Gotten Away with It wizard modes yet and was wondering if anyone else has.

There are three wizard modes in Scooby, correct? Are they all programmed into the game yet? This title just keeps getting better with code refinement. Hopefully, all of the bugs get squashed soon. I’m two code revs behind and not experiencing lockups or ball tracking/locking issues since replacing the magnetized balls and turning down the MM VUK eject power.

The warehouse forklift morons strike again, such a drag and completely unnecessary! You did the right thing by refusing it and hopefully Spooky gets you a replacement game in short order. Have been through this before myself, it sucks
