Hey guys, just picked up a tftc about 2 weeks ago and have a couple of questions about some of the settings.

1) Is there anyway to make the multiball ready setting actually work? It seems that no matter what happens on the first ball, the second ball will add almost all of the letters to c-r-y-p-t, and on the 3rd ball it just opens the crypt up waiting for multiball. There seems to be an adjustment in the menu (#51) but it doesn't do anthing. I would just like it to be a bit more challenging to achieve. For that matter I would also think the "game rules" (adjust #7) should also adjust it but again doesn't appear to do anything.

2) How does the "special" work. Adjustment #4 in the menu changes "game awards" to either credit, extra ball, or special. All it says is when score threshold is achieved a playfield special is lit. On one of my games I got above 300 mil and the special went off on the dmd but I didn't notice anything different on the playfield or any massive score increase?

Thanks for the help, I'm sure more questions will pop up.

Beuler? Don't be holding out because I'm noob, I see some tftc talk on these forums so I know you guys have them

Ah alright. If that's the way it is then that's the way it is. As long as there is nothing screwy with my machine. Just for the record I'm at to 3 ball game.

Anyone care to explain the special to me? I scored above the threshold again last night and still didn't appear to do anything. I'm thinking of switching it to award a free ball instead.

I am running 3.03 (latest rom). The problem isn't with the switch itself. What I mean is that if I take the glass off and manually trigger a couple random switches on ball one then drain it. When ball 2 loads up every letter of in crypt is lit up except "t". Then if I drain ball 2, it will load up ball 3 with all letters lit and the tomb down waiting for multiball.

I've tried changing the difficulty of "game rules" and the multiball ready diffuculty with no success.
