Also, Baxter shouldn't get zapped if you fail to defeat his robots and Shredder praises him. Seems very.....odd.

Informative feedback about the shaker motor. I’ve got a shaker motor sitting here, but waiting to play more of the game beforehand. That way I’ll be able to notice the differences when I install it. I love the feature in other pins so I’m looking forward to it.

Just received a mint Pro from Automated Services in CT! Great experience, smooth delivery and the playfield looks great going to add HD glass and a shaker motor. Anyone working on a plunger knob mod yet? (Preferably a pizza!!)

He needs to get zapped to become "Baxter the Fly" in the following episode....

This is 100% accurate and we noticed it as well. Not a big deal and I've seen other "fixes" disclosed in the past that weren't in fact addressed. I'm sure they'll get it on the next update. I'm personally loving all the other updates with 1.21!

It is like Meg in DP. Shoot the red shots, yellow arrows are the spots where the red arrows can move to. If you shoot yellow, red cant go there anymore.

haha funny, i LOVE the new call out, yes it stands out but it adds so much spice, i think Splinter should have much more of this in his voice!

A Simple MOD request, I would like to see some flipper toppers that look like the smile/grin on the turtle van.

That's solved by not being able to play the Fly episode until you complete this one.

As it stands, it doesn't make sense to have Shredder praise him for a good job, and then zap him.

It doesn't appear to even be the same voice actor, and it sounds terrible.

Hi Xaqery

Removing the pulse from stop would be excellent. I feel for you trying to make everyone happy. I think it just triggered a OCD twitch in me.

Just worked out how foot 3 can be left ramp or centre depending on 2nd shot. Awesome!!

I do love this game.

Thanks!!

You could also have the short or light pulses drop off if the shaker isn't set to Maximal. That way the user has control over what shaking effects they want to some degree. The small/short/light ones would only be felt if "maximal" is set on the settings.

Would be great! Shuts me up.

Sorry for upsetting people over this one.

Shredder is a bad guy, it's in his nature.

I wish there was a 'making of' video for this game. I've really liked all the other ones that were done.

Rob

As someone did a few pages ago I just replaced the post rubbers the game comes with. MY GOD they are hard as rocks. I played a few games after replacing and dont notice much difference, maybe the right ramp is a bit more forgiving...

They're not really post rubber, they're post sleeves. They're supposed to be hard, not spongy like rubber.

Ah that makes sense. Im just trying to limit the crazy bounces to the outlanes.

Premium # 306049 set up and ready to play at The Arcade in Wichita. This thing is a blast. Stop by if you're ever in the area!

That's a cool setup for an arcade! Love the screens. You would want to put on a good game for the audience!

what are the screens above each pin? Is that showing whats going on so people can watch everything? If so thats fucking awesome. How is it done?

Yup! For leisure and tournament purposes. There is a camera attached to a pole that runs along the ceiling above each game and runs the feed to each 32” screen. Pretty simple.

Cameras above each game that have hdmi our connections that plug into the TVs above the games.

that is fucking awesome. love it

FYI, you should be able to change the settings on the cameras so you don’t see the menu button and other stuff from the camera screen.

till the decal tears

We’ve tried. Some have the OSD, sone don’t. All the settings are the same. We game up trying to figure it out. When we match the settings to one that shows the display and one that doesn’t, it still shows the display.

Can I put footage of Keith Elwin playing whilst I play?

I seem to remember reading back in this thread about the rear playfield lights and inserts resetting/cycling during gameplay. Is that a common issue and what was the fix for this?

Does the "Foot Clan spinner" have any purpose?
I only see it counting with some points (K's) on the screen...

That’s a good point. There’s a lot to be said for making things score like they feel like they should.

425 plays in 2 weeks. This game is a keeper!

It increases the value of the 123 combo shots.
1st shot = 1x the value
2nd shot = 2x
3rd shot = 3x

if you want to max it out you should collect 123 during your last ball because every spinner shot adds up. if you once complete 123, it won't light up again. if you dont collect it, 123 will always light up at your next ball.

Well that didn't take long. Got a report of the Van not working properly. On 1 of the 3 Pizza multiballs the player got, the Van would not open. The game just kept launching balls to the Van but the Van wouldn't release them. He said this is a known issue but I don't see anything about this exact issue. Anyone else experience this?

That happened to my machine as well as others when their glider servo failed and was pulling down the board when it was trying to move. Is this happening on a premium/LE ?

Hey @prodoshi i know you are getting the airballs in the left orbit as well, but are you getting airballs on the right ramp? Sometimes when I hit the ramp on the fly it hits the gate with the switch. Or it hits the start of the plastic airball protector. I have tried to adjust the gate a bit higher but it still happens on occasion. Any ideas?

Yes, it is on a premium. I just went into the glider test menu and sure enough, when I move the glider the back half of the GI pulses a bit. It doesn't go out and reset but the back half definitely pulses like it looses a bit of power. That's so frustrating and it also looks like there's no option to disable the glider. Is it possible to unplug the glider (while it's in the middle position) and still play the game? I've only played 8 games on this thing. I'm still on code 1.11. Haven't had a chance to update yet.

LapsedGamer what was your final fix for the problem?

Yes the left orbit is a brickfest

Luckily I built a airball protector for the right ramp. There was already one person reporting of a broken ramp because of hitting the sign with airballs.

Here is my posting from earlier in this thread including an on-the-fly shot:

The fix is to have to get a whole new glider assembly. You need to reach out to Stern and let them know the issue. They will then have you go thru your Distributor to make the claim. It was about a 2.5 week process for us....Very responsive from Stern but just took awhile with shipping and what not. You can unplug the glider from below the playfield for now but not sure if you can center it thru the test menu if it is out on you. Best thing to do is completely remove it from your game.

Edit: I am not sure if unhooking the glider will fix the back half GI going out on you though. I just kept playing the game with the broken assembly while waiting for the new assembly. It was annoying though have to deal with that.

Still waiting on my TMNT Pro in Canada. Anyone in Canada receive theirs yet?

Seriously considering shifting my deposit over to Iron Maiden or Jurassic Park and getting TMNT next year instead. Is that even possible, or is the deposit already paid directly to Stern?

one thing I wish would be added is some actual points for hitting the inner loop over and over on ball launch. you can do like 7 loops and get about 700 points.... Even the middle ramp on this doesnt give you much.

That's up to your Distributor. Ask them if you can move your deposit. You will prob be waiting just as long for those games as you would for TMNT. Everything is on backorder right now on all latest releases.

I would echo what HookedOnPinonics said, You should be able to unhook the connectors underneath and move to the middle then work with Stern and distributor to get the replacement assembly, I feel your pain as I was down after about a dozen games out of box but I’ve played a few hundred without issue after the replacement. Good luck!

Edit: I would also recommend updating as they did change some code with max servo distances, potentially effecting this issue

yawn.

and the kaneda vs. Kaneda shtick is already getting old.

Stick around though b/c I do love the inside story. Spices up this place.

I love how Stern is announcing new pins while their quality still appears to be at an all time low.. WTF is going on over there? Has anyone with the shitty playfield art heard anything back from a distributor or Stern? Are they going to do anything about it?

My Turtles was perfect.

I’ve heard nothing. One month so far.

Are you suggesting that all of people in the past previous 61 pages who are submitting photos of diverter issues and crappy print quality are fabricating some elaborate quality lie? Or just that you got lucky with the draw?

I had two distinct spots on the playfield that looked like someone used wetsand to try and fix a flaw and never cleared back over it. I polished them up decently and called it good because it was going on location and it wasn't that bad, but it was an issue. I also had big fingerprints all over the metal ramps and under the clear ramps that I had to disassemble to clean. Annoyed but that was an issue as well. Also had to re-dress some of the wiring due to a couple connectors being banjo'd across other harnesses. It's like my machine was built on a Friday by the news guys.

Same here. I’ve emailed my distributor twice already (hemispheres amusements), but no response back from them... I just want to know what my options are for the grainy playfield
