Quoted from CashMoney:

+1 to this thread.
You can build a better sound system than pinwoofer provides for around $100. Versus the $450 set that pinwoofer sells.
An External powered sub is still the best bang for your buck IMO.

Mmm, not so sure. I have a Cambridge Audio 500 watt powered sub hooked up to a bunch of pins via the Pinnovators kit. It’s ok, cost effective but how does it compare to my Pinwoofer on my GnR?
It doesn’t …. There is no comparison whatsoever.
The Pinwoofer is leaps and bounds better.
All I get is a nice thump of base from my powered sub, which is ok but not great.

In anticipation of Godzilla Premiums heading back to the production line, I am firing up the printers and making a batch of 40-50 Godzilla multi-ball SDTM fix roof mods. I currently have about 8 on hand and ready to ship. I try to stay ahead of orders and prefer running batches so no one has to wait. Just wanted to share this with the group in case anyone is having GZ multi-ball SDTM issues on their Prem/le or is picking up a Prem in the next run and would like to order one. For anyone curious to see the difference between the GZ multi-ball drop without and with the mod installed, I have an install video on the shop item page so you can see the difference. I think I have just enough time between prints to update to the new code and check things out. Can’t wait to see what else has been added with the new code drop.

The roof mod and a few other mods can be found in my Pinside shop with the following link:

Quoted from NightTrain:

To be fair, Ultraman loses when compared to ANY game. Not just Godzilla.

Oof yeah it's a bad game. I played it last week at a pinball arcade and was bored out of my mind. It just shoots so slow, and the shots aren't very interesting. I didn't feel like much was happening, but I kept the ball in play. Finished with the GC, but really had no excitement at all.

#8854 2 years ago

Tilt said he got some Godzilla pros in to ship some orders so they are coming.

I wanted it to be great, really love the theme. The ball popping in the return lanes is just a terrible design I think, no code will fix that. It is a snoozer for gameplay so far also.

#8857 2 years ago

New code is really nice and the buildings at the back really light up now...or maybe they always did and I just noticed.

#8858 2 years ago
Quoted from awesome1:

Please Stern - get Godzilla's back on the line so us 'patiently' waiting for ours since September can start enjoying this masterpiece!

I am still waiting for JP
But have a GZ pro and love it.

#8859 2 years ago

Did scoring get ramped up for this new code? Or did I just have a good game?

Hahaha ha, not even close buddy. I've not experienced anything remotely close to pinwoofer, will continue to put them on every game I buy.

#8863 2 years ago

The power up for a 5x Tier 1 battle time bonus is pretty juicy!!!!

#8864 2 years ago
Quoted from wtatumjr:

They are definitely brighter now... one the first things that stood out to me. Game is just so dang good ....just wait till it's over 1.0 code...

#8865 2 years ago

I got to see Insider Connect at work on location... which was disappointing because I wanted to play! Can this be configured to only update at certain times? I was at The Burrow in Oakdale, MN. They're only open 6 hours during weekdays and this update started right at the beginning of dinner time.

Update took a long time, but was worth it. Played a Pro and it was fun - but I still love physical ball locks so glad I'm waiting for a premium.

This game not only shoots amazing, but it isn't hard to figure out what you're doing and why. Compare that to Rush, which I did enjoy this time, but I had no idea what was really happening and why. What are the minutes for? What is the 1-2-3 for? I didn't get a feel for the actual modes.

At last got to play the new code. Like it! Unfortunately so does the wife. Claimed high score #1, the vixen. The choice of power up adds so much sense of achievement and new strategy. Like so many have said, this game is so good. Fantastic update.

#8867 2 years ago

Wow is the new update nice. Hands down this is my favorite pin ever and I’m not even a Godzilla fan. I cannot even fathom what code will look like when complete because it’s just so good as it is. My premium is officially nailed down.

Quoted from digitaldocc:

That tail looks sweet. Your mod really gives godzilla a sense of scale that works

Thx

#8869 2 years ago

On the new code, I noticed on one of the power ups, I was given the same choice of 50m points...is that a bug?

Scoring is considerably higher on this new code, doubled my previous HS to hit 1.8bn. I think I made it through 7 or 8 power ups, saucer MB, lots of new stuff in this update.

no, but the readme said they were just placeholders

thx, missed that.

Quoted from MonsieurCS:

I wonder if those are placeholders for a mode like Monster Zero or the Mecha-Godzilla one or something like that.

#8873 2 years ago

Love the new code. When I saw Hedorah (Smog monster) on the screen. I almost cried tears of joy. I have been waiting to kick his butt for over 40 years, now! Perfect theme, perfect game!

i mean, to be fair, he was added last update

#8875 2 years ago

Wow...the code update is great. Lots of new clips since last I updated (.90) along with the level power ups. The game is amazing and we haven't hit 1.0 yet.

#8876 2 years ago
Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

But have a GZ pro and love it.

I'm also waiting for the JP premium I ordered last July 3rd. I hope I don't have to make similar adjustments and tweaks on it that I'm having to do on Godzilla to make it player-friendly.

#8877 2 years ago

Maybe I missed something int he readme. What shot qualifies the power ups? Is it the tail whip?

#8878 2 years ago
Quoted from VolitionFlipper:

Check the readme again. The first part of it lists the power up levels. Right below that is a list of 20-25 things that increase the power up meter.

Curious, what adjustments and tweaks did you have to do to JP new out of the box? I have my 1st NIB (GZ) coming this summer, and i'm a little leary as to how much stuff will need to be done to get it working just right. Thx...

Not sure what you are referring with “player friendly” but I own JP premium and have played GZ on location a few times. GZ is much more forgiving in gameplay than JP as far as shots and the slings IMO. Ball saver is also really generous on GZ. JP does take quite a bit of tweaking of the T-Rex to get it aligned and grabbing the ball well. Also, the launch needs adjustment out of the box to make the turn around at a high % rate.

GZ has required the least tweaks out of the box for me. Just level side to side at the back was all I required to do. Used a spirit level with the glass as a guide just underneath the building. Turned down trough eject and the battle kick out. Lastly push in the guide to the left of the magnet.

#8882 2 years ago

been playing the new code today and Its a blast to play,It was already fun.The more I play the more I enjoy it.

Agree. Played it only twice and it is great.

#8884 2 years ago

New code update sounds awesome! I wonder what version they'll be on by the time I get my Premium...

#8885 2 years ago
Quoted from EZ-Rhino:

When it arrives you have a winner

#8886 2 years ago

The new update is absolutely FANTASTIC. I didn't think this game could get any better but with the new UI with the powerups it completely changes this game in a good way .and I find it crazy that they are not even done with this game and it is one if not the deepest rulesets ever.

#8887 2 years ago

My May GZ Prem just got pushed back to June.

Kidding of course. Waiting on my Pro as well

I can’t be the first person with this problem so I apologize if it’s all over this forum, there are just a lot of posts. What are you all doing for stuck balls in this location off the plunge?

Waiting on ball search

[quoted image]

This post shows a picture of where I put a cabinet dot on mine in that stuck ball spot. The ball will sometimes still get stuck in that spot, but with the dot there it only takes a very light nudge to get it out. Before putting the dot in it would get stuck too deep to nudge it out. Having the dot there doesn't impact ball travel through that lane.

Quoted from Jamesays:Waiting on ball search

That was the solution from Stern. Eventually, hopefully, there will be a less time-intensive solution.

#8894 2 years ago
Quoted from Green-Machine:

Are premiums slower off the line then pros? Lined up for a May Pro hopefully.

#8895 2 years ago
Quoted from FNwoz:

They need different/more parts so the continued delays for the premiums is probably due to parts availability for certain aspects of the premium that aren’t on the Pro.

#8896 2 years ago
Quoted from chuckwurt:

I figured as much. Hopefully they crank out Pros faster if they can’t get to premium because of parts shortages. Pumped for my first NIB.

Quoted from FNwoz:

Weird times for sure. For me, I’m just waiting until I see one that available and buy that. I’ll be going to more shows most likely to try and get show games. Couldn’t believe there were multiple show games that didn’t sell at LAX.

I actually tried to acquire a show game (Midwest gaming classic) but the price was going to be the same as NIB. I will be interested to see if that changes when I go to the show. Plan on playing the heck out of it so I don’t care about plays.

#8899 2 years ago

It won’t change. You’re literally buying a NIB game. You only got a couple hundred off before anyway. Everybody wins. You get the game you wanted and your helping make the show more fun for everyone else.

I put a small piece of the standup target backing foam and it solved the issue. You can get it at pinball life under ‘target backing foam’. You could probably stick anything that is similar too.
