Quoted from Reality_Studio:I'll say this much, code generally has little effect on me because I'm not a good pinball player. I never get to wizard modes or any of the deeper stuff, in fact the only pins I've ever "completed" have been Time Machine and Elvira And The Party Monsters. Games are so deep now I have no hope in hell of seeing most of anything that they offer. So for a weak amateur player like me, even 0.75 code can be enough because while I love pinball, I still suck at it.
I'm with you, i look for breadth in code early on so i don't keep playing the same 2 modes over and over again. JP was bad for me, had it rented for a month, but 90% of the time i was playing the first 3 paddocks over and over since I'm not good enough to advance further most of the time.
It's difficult for coders to cater to both, breadth and depth at the same time, and they currently tend to favor depth. That's why I'm excited for this because it gives Stern an incentive to revisit and add things later which some of it may be what I'm looking for.

Quoted from Ashram56:/rant mode on
Insider connect requires a modified apron for the reader, which is frankly awful looking. OK, no worries, just put the reader in the coin door using some community made 3D model. Yes, but... In Europe, Spike 2 coin door does NOT have the opening that is being used to fit the reader.
And a US coin door is 200 euros, and it's not available...
So I have a choice between not installing IC, or install IC and ruin my apron artwork with this awful integrated reader. Or not update the firmware and stick with the older one to ensure I get Scorbit compatibility (because of course Stern disabled Scorbit support in the latest release of the firmware), but in this case I lose some bug fixes that were not made available.
/rant mode off
If anyone has a practical solution to this, I'm all ear.
I think I'll end up adding an opening in the cabinet bottom, route the cable and reader externally to a suitable location outside of the machine. And use a mechanical splitter to share the reader across machines.
Do you have in Europe the single coin door variant without any knockouts?
If it is only in a home environment I wonder if you could remove the coin return flap and the screwed on piece behind it and have it read through the coin return hole. Not sure if that is large enough, but since it's non destructive modification you could try that.
