This title is highly underrated

Quoted from hlaj78:

This title is highly underrated

Ya! I never watched the show, but it is a really fun shooting game. Really enjoy it

#403 5 years ago
Quoted from northvibe:

I really like the idea of the ocd led board and even that sound board upgrade but man, the price on some things make it hard to swallow.

I see zero reason to upgrade the soundboard unless someone makes a modded version of the callouts or (better yet) someone gets access to the original callout files. Those soundfiles are tiny and won't sound any better using Pinsound.

Is there an easy way to change the white safe guides any tips trying to change the right side

#419 5 years ago

Anyone looking to leave the club? I want in!

#420 5 years ago

Also I had a problem with my safe only registering 1 hit out of 5 had a wire I had to solder but now its registering hits on the backside by the pop bumbers

#421 5 years ago

Curious what others have you done for the Episode board lamps when replacing with leds? Going through A Sopranos. Yellow leds are ok and probably would not be to bright but not my favorite and do not have 5 of the same on hand. I am sure If I dig I will not have 5 of the same of any led that is not way to bright.
Adding LED OCD and trying for first time Gizmo for GI. All is on the list to get to. This time of year very busy and as summer comes on may not get to until later but was wandering what looks good and is not blinding?
Also found out that the Fish eyes led is 12 volts. Came with 44 bulb in there that did not last very long.
Has anyone changed lock down bar for one without the plastic plug? I think the receiver would need to be changed to let the Stern bar without the hole fit.
Thank You

I left those incandesent since they were so bright, but a covered (white cap) led may be ok as long as it is a single smd and not some bright one.

Comet or coin taker should be able to get you the right led(s) for the 12v and other parts. Also for most games without led ocd you'll want non ghosting just in case.

The lock down bar I think this is the blank version, but please verify with terry at PBL

#423 5 years ago

Heres what i did about the lock down bar i unscrewed the plastic threw it in the garbage and put a bullet hole sticker on it looks great imo and matches the theme heres a link save your money ebay.com link: 0

#424 5 years ago

I have ordered and received leds from CT but forgot about the Episode board leds. Not wanting to order just 5 leds and was wandering if anyone used perhaps 5 different colors or a few colors and perhaps thoughts behind it. Looking for a way around buying just 5 until I have a bigger order.
With PBL lockdown bar it mentions not fitting Sopranos and so does the receiver listed. Current bar the
left insert and receiver hole are offset to allow space for tournament button. Solid bar with no hole and receiver are equal distances apart which makes me think changing receiver and bar will work. But not just one or the other.
Marco has actual correct 12 volt fish led light just thought I would throw the 12 volt info out there.
Cool idea for bullet hole. Was thinking could have hole filled and bar powder coated but would likely cost what a bar and receiver would cost.
Would be interesting to find a tops scrolling led sign for the game if they were reliable and one was available but no experience with them and likely costly.

Hi all. I’m really excited to pick up my Sopranos in a couple of weeks. This was the one that got me into pinball a couple of years ago.

If anyone has installed a Pin Stadium kit and/or mirror blades, please share the results. I think the existing lights are pretty active and just want to make sure the Pin Stadiums don’t turn the playfield into Times Square at night. Thanks!

I have Pin Stadiums on a couple of games - they are awesome. I haven't ordered them for Sopranos as they really aren't necessary on this game. I have mirror blades and LEDs and the game is very bright. I would save your money and put Pin Stadiums on a darker machine.

#427 5 years ago

How does the color dmd look for this title?

#428 5 years ago

Does anyone know if there is a rom version for The Sopranos that no matter what setting will still bleep or leave out profanity? Seem this one does no matter what the setting in the menu is set to. Did not have this experience with a prior Sopranos. People loved big points at gatherings.

#429 5 years ago

Never updated the code on a game this old. I’m seeing eproms online for with the 5.0 code on them. Do I just need the game chip? Or do I need to have 5.0 code on all the eprom chips that are in the game?

I just ordered updated roms from Matt’s Basement Arcade (Pinside store). Sopranos is not listed, but I PMd him and got a quick response. Matt said I’d need two chips—the display and CPU 5.0 roms. He said new sound roms are not usually necessary unless there are problems. They are $10 each + 3.50 shipping. I haven’t received them yet, but they were shipped within a day.

#431 5 years ago

I just updated both my display and CPU 5.0. It’s awesome! Lots more animations and yea you just change both them and your good to go. A fellow pinsiders in town has a rom burner. The display chip is right on the back of the dmd I had no idea lol. Love this game!

Is there a place I can just download the roms so I can burn them?

I have check the code version on my sopranos when I get a chance, I had no idea it had an update!

#441 5 years ago
Quoted from Rondogg:

Where do you see the code version?

Went through every setting to no avail...then closed to coindoor and gave up....It then displayed all the version info etc on the dmd ..go figure

It also says it on the rom....(Forgot about that as well)

Thanks for the referral. I've have had several people ask so I added a listing. PM is fine too. The 8MB sound chips are a little more, but shipping covers everything ordered at the same time. I found this thread as alimerick was asking about the swearing and looking for his answer but apparently he already asked. Normally most games hover around sound 1.0...but it does look like older roms can affect the swearing and went through changes (in addition to the settings being correct or even available)

The color DMD looks great on this game!

Quoted from Meloyelo51:

Thanks for the referral. I've have had several people ask so I added a listing. PM is fine too. The 8MB sound chips are a little more, but shipping covers everything ordered at the same time. I found this thread as alimerick was asking about the swearing and looking for his answer but apparently he already asked. Normally most games hover around sound 1.0...but it does look like older roms can affect the swearing and went through changes (in addition to the settings being correct or even available)

Just curious, how many roms are required to update the game to 5.0? Just the two, or are all those sound ROMs listed on your site required as well??

#447 5 years ago

Display and cpu only, no sound. If you have a colordmd, you don’t need the display.

#448 5 years ago

Not sure about Color DMD not needing the display rom. I think it still uses it. Just put one in past weekend and the display board gets mounted to the back of the Color DMD with cables going to and from it.
Hopefully below is a link to the Color DMD hardware installation instructions for Whitestar on the Color DMD website.
https://www.colordmd.com/Assembly%20for%20Instructions%20Stern%20WS%20CHROMA%20Rev1.PDF

I just ordered complete set because the profanity is not acting correctly no matter what the menu setting is set to. Which seems like reading through the rom updates looks like it involves the sound roms.

I could be wrong, but I thought colordmd basically takes the latest display rom and colors it so that's what you are loading via the usb stick. Not sure on this, though.

#450 5 years ago

I think the display rom is on the display board that is moved from the back of the DMD to the back of the Color DMD for The Sopranos pinball.
Not near the pin but recall one of the chips on that board having a sticker on it.
Hopefully here is a link to a picture of the display board on Marco site. Has an empty socket where display rom would go.

If correct would need the newest display rom to get the newest set of display animations for the color DMD or the OE DMD to display/ show.

Added over 6 years ago: Updated all the roms display, cpu and all sound. It had 2.05 something and with the updates to newest it is now swearing like Several sailors.
