Quoted from jackd104:

What type of balls are you using? Ones that came with game or others? Chrome type can become magnetized. Carbon steel don’t.

Quoted from jackd104:

Well I am puzzled. I would try replacing them and see what happens. Many people recommend to replace the stock balls anyhow. For use with magnets you want something like this

Quoted from Tomass:

3 weeks in and just broke 800M. It's such a fine line between a terrible game and hitting just a couple more shots and blowing it up. Still looking to break 1B though.

Quoted from KneeKickLou:

Just go into the service menu go to Network then select Software Update should start automatically.

Quoted from Beyndtstng:

Quoted from beefzap:

Anyone have a checkist for playfield parts to remove when installing a playfield protector for a premium?
Does the protector need to be cut in the back ?

Quoted from EZ-Rhino:

So I noticed my right flipper when engaged is higher than the right. I took a look at where it is sitting at rest and sure enough the tip of the flipper is a bit above the right alignment hole. I found the nut on the flipper mech that needs to be adjusted but the clearance is terrible resulting in me trying to untighten the adjustment hex screw with the stubby end of a dinky hex key allen wrench (the kind you get with cheap put-together yourself furniture). I have a much better hex key set but I can't use it because of the clearance issue. No matter how hard I yank on the hex key I can't get enough leverage to loosen the screw. Any suggestions from those who have adjusted the flippers on GZ (or other similar Sterns). There's got to be a better tool for this... Many thanks.

Quoted from dboeren:

The one code "fix" I'd like to see in Godzilla is a 1-2 second ballsaver for the Destruction Jackpot. Many times I've seen it happen where I miss the shot, it goes halfway up the right ramp, then straight down the drain. It's not a fun shot if your incentive is to not go for it.
Is there any adjustment in the software for this?

Quoted from jellomandolin:

I was playing Godzilla yesterday. At the time, I didn’t realize there was a code update. I was in the middle of a game and suddenly lights and video started getting out of sync. The game then shuts down and does a code update. I know they’re auto updating but I didn’t expect this in mid game. Anyone else experience this?

Quoted from kool1:

100%. I ordered in November 2021 and never got one last year. I found one used for basically new price and jumped on it.
After a month+ with it I see why it's #1. Special game.

Quoted from rennervision:

Has anyone completely removed the playfield? I watched a couple of videos on how to install art blades but now I'm stumped. If I remove the playfield I don't know where to put it. I've seen people prop the playfield up against the wall or set it down on paint cans. But for GZ, I don't think that's feasible with the way this particular game's attachments underneath extend further out; they would obstruct me from doing that. Is setting it down on one of its sides an option? I don't want to do anything that could potentially damage it.

Quoted from Driz1847:

Getting a premium NIB soon. What are the essential "must dos" for protecting this game and mechs from being damaged?
I'm thinking: shooter lane coil strength lowered, shooter lane Mylar protector, different pinballs than whats included...
Cant wait to finally get this game.

Quoted from Nokoro:

I would say this is a tad controversial. Most, including me, would argue you don’t need a playfield protector in a modern game in a home use environment. Just keep it clean and wax every 500 games or so, and you’ll be fine.

Quoted from troon47:

I have the Tilt Forums sheet, but it's confusing...was wondering how others get them. I can usually only get to 2x.

Quoted from mjmpin:

Hey all, rules question, I cannot seem to find the specifics anywhere, I assume someone can clarify pretty quick, thanks!
What is needed to light the advance fighter inserts? My understanding is that when lit you can light a missile with inline rollover, light all 6 to start jet fighter attack. But when the insert is not lit, can't collect a missile. My red insert lights seem to randomly go on and off and the side I need never seems to be lit, etc so it isn't a clean path to get to jet fighter attack ??? what is triggering the inerts to light or not?
Also, I remain a bit confused on destruction jackpot, I ready in one description that it happens when you defeat/complete a kanji battle. but in the rules it just says "you first need to light the insert in front of the building". so how do you light that insert? on my machine it seems like destruction jackpot is happening all the time, certainly not only when a kanji is completed
thanks much!

Quoted from mjmpin:

Thanks! that explains the destruction jackpot, I had read that you needed to complete the battles to light, so thought it was happening too frequently.
On the jet fighters, what you stated is what I would expect and am trying to do, but... the red insert at the bottom of the inlanes needs to be lit when the ball hits the insane from the ramp - and mine are randomly (seemingly) lit and off at various times, so I can't just hit the ramp(s) 6 times to light the missiles, often I cannot get any on one side sine the insert is unlit - I am trying to understand what controls when the red insert Isi lit or off ??
thanks

Quoted from mjmpin:

Thanks! Apologies to you and Chuck for my ignorance, I found that my adjustment setting was at medium for jet attack, when I set it to easy it is operating like you both described for the first instance. for the 2nd instance it is acting like mine was initially, which say I was confused.
I still would like to learn/figure out what (unless random?) affects when each inline red inset is on for 2nd, 3rd, etc fighter attacks or if your setting is medium or hard
appreciated the help!

Quoted from vikingerik:

Yeah, Monster Rampage needs to die in a fire, or at least have some way to opt out like the super train loops. No I don't want to have to play a damn three minute long mode without draining just to get back to what I was doing.
Really the strategy there is, get Rampage out of the way first, and only then you're allowed to start building up towards the big annihilation-carnage stacks.

Quoted from BallyKISS1978:

Any pro owners having trouble at times with the magnet not holding the balls for the start of MB? It will grab the first one and then when the second ball launches or sometimes the third, the balls will drop before they are supposed to.
Doesn’t happen all the time but enough. I adjusted the kick out power and the balls hit correctly. I did not make any chain the settings.

Quoted from MylesMayhem:

Hello. My Godzilla Premium just arrived and it's awesome! The Stern Connect won't work though and I've tried messing with the Wifi Dongle enough to know I need to replace it. Any suggestions of which product I should pick up? Thanks in advance!!

Quoted from akerson:

Hi need some help, brand new machine with ~100 plays and having trouble with left flipper. Only adjustment I've made so far is turning down flipper power.
Today I noticed it feels "soft", it's now flipping with way less power (like I can't make it up right ramp) and ball catching either spring boards the ball or perfectly dapens it. My guess is it's "stuck" in low voltage somehow and my dual switches are jacked up but I don't really know how to fix it. Anyone experience this and can throw me some wise words?

Quoted from j_m_:

I'm a little late with this reply, however it bears noting that the "gap" is from the spring washer. if you look closely, you'll notice the spring washer that is seated between the coil and the coil stop. according to the metallica manual, it appears that this flipper mech was not assembled correctly. the spring washer should be located on the other end of the coil. (see the image in the attached link)
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/metallica-owners-thread/page/179#post-3491335
if swapping the position of the spring washer does not solve your issue, the side to side movement probably indicates that the brass "button" on your coil stop has either worn down, or become separated from the coil stop and the stop needs to be replaced.
the coil stops that stern has been using for the past 3-4 years are significantly lower in quality (revealed by the piles of "gold dust" found in the bottom of the cabinets after a mere 2-300 plays (or less).
I perform a number of bullet-proofing steps when purchasing a game (new or otherwise) which include: replacing the rubber (with titan silicone), the pinballs (with ball baron's ninja or polaris, and the coil stops with those that pinball life sells.

Quoted from Tophervette:

Godzilla experts. Asking for help in setting up Godzilla Premium, new out of the box. I tried to register it. I pulled the coin door white button out. I went into the menu from the coin door buttons. I went into network. Found the WIFI for the house. Selected it. I did its searching thing. Then asked for password. I put that in (as hard as it was to navigate back and forth, need to make easier one). It went searching again and said could not connect. 3 times I tried. I gave up frustrated. Does it save the password or do I have to enter it each time xxxxxxxxx.
Then I tried to go through the menu options (audits, etc). I could not find where to add balls in the menu items. Can someone help this idiot.
I learned I am on Version 1.07.0 is that the latest Premium version. I looked on Stern website and it seemed that was it. I need to buy a USB flash drive to update the code in the future according to the sign in the head.
Any help or PMs would be greatly appreciated.

Quoted from PinDjarin:

I’ve had my Godzilla Pro for over a year and for the first time my ramp and scoop lights went out. The shots were registering but no lights. I logged out of IC and restarted the machine and it seems fine now. Weird.

Quoted from EelcoHo:

The scoop shot is challenging but I am getting the hang of it.
Last weeks I have more rejects from the scoop. The ball seems to be right in there, and bumps out again.
Is that part of the placement of the scoop, or are there any adjustments to make sure the ball stays there?
Thanks a lot!
