Need help from the club. I was getting random resets during game play. Researched it and found a lot of information about the 5volt variance that can cause these random resets.

I reflowed the connectors on my original power supply and reseated the wires in the plugs. My resets significantly decreased to happening only occasionally. But after a restoration, I didn't feel like living with this. So I bought the capacitor rebuild kit for the large display Sega Power Supplies. My soldering skills are above average (so I thought, definitely with reconsider). After installing the kit, board work is quite a bit different than switches and coils, my Power Supply didn't even boot up the game. But I was thinking this was going to happen.

So I ordered a new Power Supply for large displays from Marco. It came in and it worked perfect! Everything good, so I thought. After a few days of games, my daughter says "Dad, the screen's blanking out again and resetting". I pressed on the CN6 plug and the game started freaking out. Random call outs and sounds, so I figured I found a loose connection.

I pulled the plug, reseated the wires, and plugged it in several times. The game boots normal, lighting comes, I hear "Suppose we flip" but then the craziness starts. The game actually starts, switches begin firing, even "Slam Tilt" comes on the display (I do not have the slam tilt connected). I tried a factory reset. Same issues occurring, but instead of the game starting, the credits increase, then a game starts and more credits start flashing on the display as if someone constantly depressing the start button.

Any thoughts or advice? Thanks

We should do a crowd fund to purchase those NOS ramps and have them reproduced.

id be in for an extra set

Me too!

Looking for input:
The "C" light on my drop targets has gone out.
Did the obvious, changed the bulb and changed socket.
Still dark. Do you suppose it might need a reflow or perhaps a
component on the board has gone out?
Not the most technically inclined but hoping this is easy enough
for recto rectify.
Thanks in advance

Every time I thought it was something more serious, like the board, it was something much more simple.

Check the twist-in black light socket. Remove the socket. Sometimes the metal tabs that connect to the board once twisted in, can become a little flat and don't maintain good contact. Make sure the tabs are clean and free of corrosion. Wipe them with alcohol. Hit them with some fine sand paper, if needed. Then bend them up just a little. You can use your fingers or a small flat head if needed. Enough to make good contact. Inset the light. Make sure the wire leads on each side of the light are aligned and make good contact with the inside of the socket. Twist it in and you should feel a little resistance - good contact.

If it doesn't light, try reversing the light in the socket. Most bulbs don't matter, but I have come across some that are polarized (or maybe they didn't seat correctly until I did the opposite way).

If this doesn't work, then look at the solder tracing on the board that the socket twists into. Clean it with alcohol on a Q-tip with the game off, of course. Occasionally the solder rim can flatten and waer down/oxidize, making the connection weak and not light.

Hey Guys, asking this for a mate who is not on Pinside. Does this machine have a spare connector on the loom inside the cab where you can source 12V and Ground for a mod? I know quite a few of the later Data East's do and it's usually above or close to the power switch box on the front right of the cab. Either that or maybe a connector for a bill validator perhaps? I had a look at the manual online and couldn't seem to spot anything, possibly just overlooked it maybe. Thanks in advance

Some good information.
Next time my son stops by and we can pull it out and take the glass off
to get into it, will try all you suggest. Hope something works to get that
pesky light to um... light.
Thanks!

Found these little gems on eBay & couldn’t resist. Will see how they look sitting on top of the head box something a bit different.

Have another set of NOS ramps. 1st set went to Texas. PM if interested thanks!

Farewell Batman Forever Club.
Left today as it was sold to a good home,
Jayg1981 in Iowa. I will certainly miss it!

It is supposed to be FOREVER!!!

Hey Batman Forever Club!
Looking at cleaning up my game and putting a new DMD and giving it some love. At this point it looks like some of my bulb bases are not working and there's a stranger mixture of LED and older bulbs. Looking at cleaning all that up and replacing what is new. It also seems that the wiring for the super jackpot is missing so I will be checking that out as well. Also all the pop bumper lights seem to be out will have to check some wiring there. When replacing all the bulbs do I have to dismantle the whole playfield or just parts?

what's your favorite mods? I thought about putting some lights behind the back skyline to get some more light across the game. I also considered mirrored blades but am worried they will scratch as the playfield needs to be worked on.

We need to get these reproduced.

How do we go about doing this?

The ColorDMD and LED lights made my game look fantastic! I put on side blades but have to be very careful when lifting the playfield as it's really tight.

Can you share pics of those side blades with the club? I always wanted them but was hesitant about getting them... didn't know if they added much. Thanks.

Here you go. I only got them to cover up a very scuffed up side. It's not even worth showing the other side because you cannot see it. Lol.

Continuing to update all the lights and bulbs in my BF and the start and tournament buttons aren’t lighting up. I noticed it has a resistor on each bulb prong is this normal? Also looking for a replacement since it seems the bases for the lamps aren’t working.

LED ColorDMD?

yea was going to replace with a colorDMD.

Looking for some help. There is a string of flashers on the back of the play field and even with replacing sockets and bulbs the last bulb is still not flashing and lighting up dim in the middle. Any suggestions? I used a multimeter to check connectivity and didn’t see any issues after soldering new socket.

When I have had that exact thing happen, all out except the two in the center, it was simply that the LED bulb went bad. Try a different, working bulb in that socket.

Update on this I got it working! It was a badly crimped wire connecting to the cpu. So it wasn’t getting enough voltage.

TheRudyB --- still waiting for that follow up longer story!!!

I’ve got several of them. Fortunately I can tell one of the longer ones a lot faster now, so I’ll save the other one that needs a little more description for another time. So ...

The original opening of the movie was naturally a lot darker before the suits at Warner Bros. decided to tone it down/candy it up for the kiddies. You could find it on the extra stuff on the DVD, but I just recently found the 2010 version had been posted on YouTube, so instead of me spending time describing it for those who haven’t seen it, you can watch it for yourself. It’s not exactly the one the game team worked with, but it shows my main point:

The wall scrawl (with accompanying sound effects) seen in this opening was originally the opening animation you’d see on the dot matrix display when you started a game. It was one of the first animations completed and coded into the game as it was being developed. It looked great and it stayed there ... until we saw that early preview showing of the film.

Our jaws hit the floor. Where the hell did THAT opening go? WTF? (Sadly, that was just our first WTF? in a torrent of them to follow.)

But since it was no longer in the cut of movie released to the theaters, we had to take it out of the game. That’s why the game just has Two-Face saying “Let’s start this party with a bang!” and going directly to the skill shot/selection animation.

From that day forward, we started saying that the movie got “royally Schumachered” (all the more appropriate as the name of the doctor in that opening in the script was ‘“Dr. Burton.”)

Hope that will hold ya’ll for a little while.

Game looks awesome, what have you used for the GI lighting?

All your machines look awesome all lined up & powder coated. Just wondering why the coin doors weren’t done at the same time. Great setup you have.

I scanned the playfield at 300dpi if anyone ever needs them let me know.

Oh cool, Thanks. I've been considering using their kit as well

Finished cleaning the play field and replacing all lamps with LEDs. Very happy with how it all turned out. Also replaced all the bands with UV bands and added some UV bulbs in some areas.
May eventually do some side art or mirror blades.

Looks nice. Great job!

Just joined the club. Oddly on my color dmd sonic is green?? The rest of all the animations look great though.

Is there a timer that displays on the DMD? Could be the same ROM issue I had.

Not quite sure what you mean..don't see anything like that..

I had an operator-only ROM on my game that had a timer counting down on the screen. It threw everything off with the colors. Check out this post:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/suppose-we-flipbatman-forever-club/page/17#post-5667076

Can you snap a pic of it? I'm curious as to why that scene would be uncolored. It should look like this:

What game rom version are you on? I colored for 2.xx and 4.02 (I didn't have 3 to test with)

lol.

I wonder how many people are running the game with the colors wrong.

Go into the colorDMD menu and switch from RGB to BGR to whichever and see the colors as I intended

Just did..well..that looks a little better now ‍♂️‍♂️‍♂️ thanks!

Must admit I had the same issue for a while until I worked it out - so why are there 2 settings on the switch ?

Picked up a BF and it needs lighting updates. I've looked at the pinball bulbs kit but don't like the purple GI. Are most of you going with this kit or doing comet bulbs?
