My LE arrives on Saturday !! Yo here in Canada . First LE in Canada maybe ? Super excited !!

I like having the Final Battle mode at start. JP did the same thing, but later added a true final wizard mode you had to reach the old fashioned way. We may see something similar added to Turtles.

There is still one odd video asset bug. Regardless if you beat Baxter's robots or not, the ending is still the same. So when you drain and Shredder congratulates Baxter, he's still sweating balls like he screwed up. Shredder then hits the disintegrate button. Seems like there is some missing animation, or they should just cut out Baxter sweating and getting zapped.

It’s already in there. Cowabunga multiball right?

At least another week or more. Hoping not. Something about not enough line workers.

Does that come before or after Final Battle? I haven't reached either yet in normal play.

Stern relies heavily on temps on their production line. Depending on what they pay, temps are making more staying home and collecting unemployment due to the $15/hr federal unemployment aid. If the federal UC stipend ends this week without renewal by congress, more will come back. I am guessing Stern is counting on this happening next week. We are running into the same problem where I work. We would have at least 2-3 months of catching up to do if we were able to get temps tomorrow.

After. You have to complete like 6-7 tasks and I believe final battle is one of them.

I figured that.

Gotcha. Good to know!

Xaqery The new code looks amazing! Does the Final Battle challenge record your time? If not do you think that could be added or a separate high score option showing who can do it the fastest instead of best score? Just thinking of speed running capabilities.

If installed properly, you use small wood screws. So you have small #4 sized holes in their wake.

How suitable they are for a game really depends on the example... some cabinets are just tighter than others. You can use inserts to cover them when lifting and moving the PF.

Are there differences in lightning between the Pro and LE?

Nope.

Further 1.10 Issues (after 5 games):
- Game defaulted to 4ohm and I had to switch it back to 8ohm
- During the start of Episodes, I noticed that anytime there is a "sequenced" start, the 2nd person speaking will interrupt, and the first callout doesn't finish. For example, Baxter was like, "I finished the mous..." and then Shredder immediately interrupted to start his line. I'm not sure if it's a timing thing or what, but I noticed this on at least 2 or 3 different episodes.
- When you get TP MB during an episode, it doesn't seem to start the TMNT Theme until the episode is done. I personally would rather jam out to the TMNT Theme regardless of what else I'm doing in the game.

Hoping someone else can confirm these issues so they can be reported.

Random question but my machine was shipped to me with German as the core/base language. I changed it to English in game settings but the machine still defaults to German for certain things - like the new “Spielcode update”. Anyone know how to set the thing in English permanently or was this just a machine destined for Germany but somehow found its way to my game lab?

Check the dip switches on the CPU board. 1 through 8 should be off for USA.

So updated to 1.10.. sound is a bit messed up . I changed to 8ohms much better .. sound effects seem to loud or music too low . I will adjust .

I was able to slap the old theme in, quality is not quite as good . If anyone has a high quality version please PM me

New:
- Added more shaker motor effects throughout the game.

Can someone describe their impressions of the new shaker motor effects? Where are they implemented?

I'm surprised no one has jammed their 80's action figures all over the playfield....yet

There might not be a high resolution version available or at least I would be surprised. The original show was was mastered on video tape and has never been remastered as I believe even the DVD was just a transfer. It could be why Nickelodeon decided to re-record the song entirely.

This playfield really is packed. I went back to play my deadpool premium for first time since getting TMNT and it seemed so flat. Turtles has all this verticallity going on. Im sure when Ive gotten my fill of TMNT newness ill go back to my other pins but it really does seem like they have stepped up their game!

I’m at 476 with HUO in 14 days lol

You may be right .. I tired to crank it up a bit .. and I changed the end game to the song from the credits . May go back the new one is fine but I spent the $20 on PB so why not ! Haha

That’s awesome!! Grabbing mine tomorrow. Plan on playing the heck out of it. My only pin.

Anyone else find the Final Battle mode incredibly lopsided. Phase 1 is simple to beat (better to play it till the end for higher scores, but simple nonetheless) and then 2 you have to hit every shot in the game with no ball save...

LE 137 checking in...

I havent gotten close to the final battle so Im looking forward to that at some point!

You can play the final battle from start with the new code update, it is pretty good. Just have to go into game settings, #1, change to final battle mode. Its worth checking out.

Mine finally arrives thursday or friday. It fills a spot vacated by Luci.

Farting around with adding a splinter and shredder mod.... what do you all think? Love my pro!

7E0F5009-97D3-4DCA-B1BD-52F76AA2B825 (resized).jpeg

Personally not my thing, the shredder blocks the turtle van and their scale is way to big!

Also are they the movie figures? If I was going to put figures in my game I would have to match the theme myself, cartoon figures so it matches the art style.

Does anyone’s cowabunga light stay on dim at all times? It does flash correctly then goes back to low steady on‘(Thinking bad led board) any suggestions?

Pro version NIB arrived !
kids and wife loves it, especially the coop mode.
Damn, it's fast paced game. ramps are really blazing, some air balls or ball leaving the rail or going above the opto..
And a couple of time, i got 2 balls served in the launcher, common issue ?
Otherwise, seems really a good packed game, with a lot to do.

A lot of us are having the ball fly off the left habitrail, and I'll eventually have this mod available that fixes the issue. Had only posted it in the mod thread thus far: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/-medisinyl-mods-tmnt-mod-development-thread-

That is a great mod, and I generally hate mods.

That's indeed a great idea. I'm not sure yet where airballs are coming from. Blazing too fast
I need to see when I'm not playing.
I thought it was often more in the upper part.

That looks great!

Nice work integrating a functional mod into the ascetic. Great idea and execution.

my ninja pizza parlor lock / episode start isnt working i. the three switches are registering in the lock . if i re plug the connectors it will work for a ball or two . i have been emailing tech support since monday with no replies . anyone else having this issue and or having troubles getting in touch with stern tech

So is the second shot for 123 foot just the center ramp? Or does the inner loop suffice as well? Or do you have to do both in either order? Seems only center ramp suffices for me.

If you hit inner loop first you have to finish with the center ramp. If you hit center ramp first then you can finish with the left ramp (I believe).

I had this problem.

It turned out to be a loose wire connection. Opto 1 was flakey and the game wouldn’t lock balls for pizza multiball or start episodes. The code doesn’t compensate for this switch yet.

Check the wire plugs for everything that plugs into the pizza parlor opto board. Mine was a wire that wasn’t pushed all the way into the plastic connector. It wasn’t at the opto board either - I had to trace the wire to the next connection.

Took longer to find it than it did to fix it.

Hey, how do you update the code on these? Sorry for newbie question.

Also, I'm not sure what you guys mean about the diverter damaging the game? I do have a rust spot on my ramp though, no more than 25 plays and only one score above 5M. So they've been short games.

What should I do about this and will it get worse if I keep playing? See in front of diverter, second coil from bottom.

This makes sense! When I get through it its all in one swoop usually. Right ramp, center then inner. Thanks

I have the same problem (it also "barely" lights the Episode dot next to the Terrordrome), I checked all the connections and everything looked great, so I'm really not sure what the issue is here. I usually notice it when I turn the machine on, and when I'm about to turn it off, but I haven't had it effect my actual gameplay.

They are awesome. It seems like they simulate "hits" better. So during episodes when you complete a task, or when you are doing your training. Some are smaller effects but definitely improve the experience. There is also a big SHAKER event when you get Pizza MB.

This happened often on 1.04, but since upgrading to 1.10 I haven't seen it happen yet. Unsure if related, just an observation.

This is at the top of every code revision readme file:

Update instructions:
1 - Download the zip file

They are talked about the diverter on the back wall of the game that diverts balls into the van.
