Batman Forever
Sega, 1995Put this topper on today. A licensed DC comics Bat signal & before anyone says its the wrong Bat logo yes I know - comes with 3 interchangeable Bats & of course mine was missing 1 of 3 Bats. Apart from that I think it’s pretty cool & looks better at night shining on the ceiling as well.

Had a bit of trouble taking the bat wing off & on - & the top right one required longer screws after installing but well worth it for a cheap mod
Post those pics! 
Quoted from hd60609:Post those pics!
Here’s one I took last week I’ll try to get better ones later

I'll be putting in frosted red 2smd. I just wanted confirmation that there should be 3 red lamps there. I'm re-assembling my game today.

Looks great! Where did you get your color DMD?

DMD is from Color DMD they don’t actually have a file for it yet ( still waiting ) the game is all one colour but scores & Sega logo etc are in color
Thx. That's just lazy on their part. Hopefully they will do the game.
again, thx

Actually they haven’t done the game yet but it’s a start that they at least have made a DMD to suit as you probably know there’s 4 other machines that share the same DMD & I think that may have done 1 of those games already so only a matter of time before they get around to it
So I shopped my game, put it back together, now the ball won't sail around the apron. Hits the start of the opened up area, then right down the drain. Half the time it goes all the way around, half the time it drains. Super frustrating as I know the launcher is firing clear, new sleeve, etc. I've tried adjusting the ramp, bending it, washers under all bolts, none of the bolts, some of the bolts. Nothing I do gives me 100%. Surely somebody has had this issue before? Must be some way I can bend this thing. I've also tried raising & lowering incline, no difference.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen that happen. Is your kicker under the Batcave pushing the ball with adequate speed? I’m assuming you mean the ball is falling off at the opening right above the trough.

Mine does that every now & then - ideally an enclosed wire ramp would of solved that issue - I just live with it

It is, because the times it does flow through smoothly the ball flies all the way to the top of the PF. Also I cleaned that plunger & new coil sleeve. I had some success by doing some slight wire bending, trial & error.
Quoted from Trekkie1978:Is anyone capable of printing up new apron stickers?
I'd like to freshen mine up a bit.
I would love a set too if anyone can make these I will buy a set as well!!!
hi,could someone please tell me the sizes of the two apron cards,preferably in mm.
any info much appreciated

Once upon a time I printed these off...
135mm x 73mm
135mm x 56mm

Quoted from rollitover:You betcha'
just out of interest did you ever fit these to your game,if so were they an exact fit or were they undersized a little to allow a border if laminated?
thanks

Nope, never did cut and install. Sorry.
I had one of these installed the other day. Was having a lot of trouble getting the ball up the left ramp. It would go up 1/2 way & then roll back down 8 out of 10 times. Old coils were tested & seemed to be ok , flippers were rebuilt , new flippers & new rubbers put in & pitch for the machine was as it should be. After this went in I’m making the shot 9 out of 10 times so we’ll worth the upgrade.

It looks like you had your settings of the printer wroung (fitt to page).
You should have set it at "printing at true size" or 100%.
Then you would see the cards are 138x76mm and 138x58mm.

Thanks for the info.
Might have to re-do a set.
Are they on your site?
Pinballrebel?

I don't know where you found the images.
I don't have them.
My website http://www.inkochnito.nl has the files which look like the original cards.
I’m not sure If this has been covered before, but I’m on my 3rd or 4th Batman forever and I can’t shoot the super jackpot (mini ramp) with the bat cannon during that multiball (it during the other mode either of “load the bat cannon)
I can’t say for certain, but I seem to remember being able to do this on the first one I had nearly ten years ago, and on the 2-3 different ones (this one included) It will load the bat cannon for the super jackpot at the mini ramp, but it won’t let the trigger activate until JUST past the sweet spot for that mini ramp! I’m standing there pressing as fast as I can to get it at the earliest possible time and it always fires just past it to the right.
Anyone familiar with this or have the same issue? Cannon tweak or adjustment?
Thanks

Is your Batwing lined up perfect with the feeding wireform, or is it misaligned slightly to the right? Mine did that once in a while, but it usually realigned itself after 4 or so uses.
Or is it a little loose?
You can adjust it if you disassemble the mech a little. That might be causing it to be a hair off.

Yeah, it’s been debated on here for awhile now with some that argue against it, though I swear by those coils for the 4 huge Sega Dmd pins.
The reason they work so well on a game like Batman Is, they don’t heat up like the stock coils. So when your “balls deep” into a game, you can count on making the ramp, which isn’t the case with stock coils (and Batman ramps are super steep and weird)
Putting those thick wound coils in a game like Frankenstein which is multiball heavy with up to 6 balls flying around should have been a Sega/Stern bulletin.

I need to take a closer look at it and report back
Hey everyone here’s a little project I’ve been working on for the past 3 months. A Pinsound custom orchestration with original themes & music from the movie as well as several other Batman related music clips. Something different as well with a Shaker added to specific SFX

That is awesome. Does it play the whole U2 song? Now you’re making me really regret selling my BF a few months ago.

That was fantastic!
Quoted from Colsond3:That is awesome. Does it play the whole U2 song? Now you’re making me really regret selling my BF a few months ago.
Yes plays the whole U2 song that’s the main play song for the game. Was unable to play a game while holding the phone . I should of cranked the sound up prior to recording.
Quoted from Terminatrix:Here’s the end of game - main orchestral theme with a Riddler call out
That’s interesting. I like the soundbites you have, but it seems like the reconfigured audio is confusing the flashing circuit that is usually synchronized with the endgame sequence?

Yes I think your right it’s like the flashers are on steroids. Not sure why but I think there’s always going to be glitches when mixing old technology with new. It’s certainly not flawless but it’s something different which is what modding is all about.
Does anyone know how the OEM wireforms were powder coated on Batman Forever?
I know that several Pinsiders have powder coated theirs in metallic green and they look great, but I was hoping to preserve the original look that glow intensely under blacklight. It appears to be a lime color, but see-through, maybe a candy lime? Finished off with a special coating to "glow"? Any thoughts or comments? Thanks.
Joined the club with this BATsketcase of a European reimport. Needs work. Good news is the mpu boots per the leds. Non working display as of now. 5v is a little low. The playfield is in good shape. 1 insert ghosted and lifted badly. I’m up for the challenge of bringing it back to life.

Congrats. Welcome.
Quoted from roboclan:Getting my ramps powder coated with what you exactly have said I will post photos when I get them back and if ok details of what was used
Looking forward to seeing these! Are you looking for the actual insert decals or just some high resolution pictures of the 2 areas?
