I think it would have been nice to keep it as an optional extra/ mod

I’m holding judgement on whether it’s a good addition or not until we see more. How it works etc isnt what I think Stern messed up here. It’s the addition of it on every new machine with no choice to their customers.

People saying if you don’t use it don’t pay for it, assuming it has a monthly fee but the fact is you’re already paying for it if you buy any machine with it on. It could easily just have been left as a retrofit item and not added more cost to every Stern machine from Sept on.

I always thought games played was a weird thing people want to know when buying 2nd hand. People could play on 3 balls or 10, no extra balls or several extra balls.

Balls played would be better information but still are your ball times 1 minute or 10? Is it kept in a temp controlled house or in a damp outbuilding? Do you clean and wax, fix faults and change balls?

Games played isnt really a good judge of condition imo

Edit - just realised you mean on IC. Didn’t look what thread this is lol. Anyway it probably counts on ic because it counts on machine audits

Is the only difference between the pro and premium/le kits that you get a new apron with the pro kit? So if I have a pro with an apron with the hole already I can just order the premium kit and save some $ ? Thanks

The last batch on pinball life the premium le kit was cheaper, that’s why I was wondering if it was the same equipment minus the apron

I don't have IC on my JP but I think I remember watching a stream, maybe Karl and he worked out it needs to be a perfect paddock on the same ball

Does anyone know what size nuts/ bolts I need to connect a premium kit to a pro apron that already has the hole for the scanner. Thanks

If you remove a retro fit kit from a game when selling it, is it ok to remove the micro sd card or does that need to stay in and just remove the scanner and dongle?

I see my missing scores using that link too. My registered scores have my avatar by them, the missing ones just a grey circle. So it seems like they register but don’t link to individual profiles. Weird because even the ones that didn’t link, when I got a high score, my name was still automatically put in for me

I think Stern should have said at the start the home team feature was coming. Feel a bit sorry for people who bought multiple kits for what’s turned out to be no reason.

I had a couple of resets on DP on the new code, I asked in the DP thread in case it was my machine and not a bug but no one else said they’d had resets but I saw the one at the tournament Tim Sexton was running and now several people in here saying they had DP resets. I think it’d be a good idea for stern to have a list of known bugs, especially game resets, people could be replacing parts for no reason

Starting the new year I thought of a small feature I thought would be a nice little addiction on IC. I know some people take audits once a year of games played. IC could easily do a Year in Review, how many games you put on each machine and maybe machines registered and deregistered. Not a massive feature I know and maybe something for later on as I know there's several more features people would prefer development time is spent on but could be a nice little addition down the road.

Yes, just a WiFi dongle and sd card required

How do you turn off auto updates?
