Good question and is one I have to.

Problem is here that ofcourse programmer Koen has another job nowadays eg any update has to be done in his free time.

I know Barry wants to get it completed to but also realize his focus is now on production.

I also think a final wizzard mode is almost unachievable, at least for me. I would prefer more smaller things to do, make nihilist wizzard more attractive, program extra ball, have a Bunny mode, etc (I made a spreadsheet which everyone can see as I shared it earlier). So spent time on things us human beings can enjoy and not only the few pinball gods on this planet.

Back to topic, I think it will be finalized but see this for 2021. I do hope However in 2020 we see smaller updates to make it even more enjoyable.

I agree with your priority and ideas.

Here is a link to your sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/17Xb9AkuhFceae9Au2YzKGtETdpg9cNBMY4FQAmSaYQs/edit#gid=891834841

I’d like to see the rug shot add points during the multi ball or some modes. I hate not hearing a sound and basically getting no points.

I just picked up my machine... I am looking forward to reading this thread over the weekend. Will take any advice on mods or game play that you guys think are a must.

Can you take off the backglass and post a high resolution picture of the boards in there - just curious.
thx.

By the way....cool to own ES-01 (assuming engineering sample #1)

Where did you get that from? Achievers edition?

EDIT - buying from the guy in Long Island. OK....

Sweet. Welcome to the club Scott! Highly recommend these game blades. https://www.tiltgraphicsinc.com/product-page/the-big-lebowski-stars-gameblades

Appreciate the input. With the amount of money being thrown around for this game (12.5 PER), there is a lot of incentive for the coder to get back in b/c I’m sure owners would throw him money to do so.

I would be the first to throw my hat in - $200.

I’ll throw money into the pot for it as well

California just hit me with a $1,277 tax bill for the TBL I imported last year. Wow.

Why is that a surprise?

The poop on the streets and sidewalks of San Francisco isn't going to clean up itself!

A wonderful state. I was born and raised there. But I’ll never go back due to their FU politics.

I was born there (love the area) but share similar sentiments. The taxes would kill me.

We are taxed 20% of the price here. You prefer EU?
And you can’t receive anything until you clear your import taxes

Thx CPR9999 !

To each their own. I prefer the factory lighting. The pinstadiums light up all the areas I’d prefer to remain low light in addition to the playfield.

Subtle difference only. Can you adjust pinstadiums to dial them up?

That’s fair and understandable!

This is full tilt in person a little to poppy for me that’s why I have subtle

I actually prefer pinstadiums turned up full blast on TBL as an alternative to natural lighting. Still dark along centerline above the flippers and at the center inserts. Wish you lived closer. Enjoy your fine game sir.

Got my backup plastics from Cointaker!

Made few more doobies & spare backup harddrives. Updated numbers below.

cpr, are you going to make more stickers, in the future? I only ask, because I'm still waiting on my TBL, but want to be sure my desired 'mods' will be available.

Thanks!

I’ve had my tbl for almost 2 weeks, is it a good idea to order all spare parts for it, playfields, plastics etc? Opinions please..

Is the lets go bowling a sticker that goes under the doobie? Where is that offered?

Part of the decal sticker set I sell.
FYI

Yup - plus a few mods. Few good options listed in this thread made by few different folks.

Stickers, ramp clips yes, the rest maybe / maybe not.

Doobies take to long to make (wiring, soldering, shrink tubing, rolling, glueing, cutting....plus order parts.)

Thanks for sharing!

Personally, I'm not a fan of the light strip reflections on metal ramps, chrome wireforms, etc, that Pinstadium lighting causes.

BIG fan of PDI glass though!

My PERSONAL taste is that Pinstadium with TBL is not required but PDI glass I have installed

Finally joined the club. Drove and picked here up this evening. Brand new from the fine folks at Cointaker. One of the rare games I've never played but after waiting for some time finally got the call.

Pretty much took all night setting her up adding some mods, sub and mirrors. Removed all the packaging, tape etc and could only play a few games as it was already 130am. So far major things work well. Game shoots well. Bowling it's much bigger than I thought and it's fun. Only notice two things that might need to be tweaked +fw .48 I think

Edit both items all good.

Game LEDs are crazy bright. Love it. Sound quality is fantastic. White Russian could be the coolest thing in a pf in fact this game is prob the coolest game - just screams it. Love the carpet it came when too.

More to come. Sleeping time cheers.

Enjoy and if you have any question just put them in the thread and you will get help

In regard to volume some voice clips, didn’t notice this but there is not a setting I am aware off.

What's the newest code and where do I find it?

https://www.dutchpinball.com/the_big_lebowski_pinball_software.php

volume issue resolved. Family mode was on by default and when I turned it off, all clips play same volume.

I love the music in this game. The entire theme integration, music and video rivals the bests including Alien.

Seems like there display choices - not sure I see a diff. All have that pixel effect....

Getting some good games on it. I REALLY like that scores option with profiles. Every game should have this.

DUMB question - do you have to turn the tilt on in game? My tilt bob is not going off during the game but it works in switch tests. Didn't see a settings mode to turn on.

Whoooe easy there lol. The game is fresh and new but that might be a stretch statement. lol

Great song from the score ...JustDropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) Performed by Kenny Rogers & The First Edition.
Poor Kenny, RIP

I liked psychedelic Kenny, not so much country Kenny.

Delt I Agree! Those TBL and Alien pins side by side would be an incredible duo! Glad your loving it, I knew you would!

I'm with you on this too. Imagine where it will be with more code.

To be fair, I’ve said this for some time. TBL grabbed my attention big time b/c of this when watching the streams. Alien and TBL are the best theme wise IMO. TBL plays very diff than alien - much more familiar, like a cooler MM! Has more toys too. I absolutely LOVE Alien too and the pair would be pinball bliss IMO as Alien style and flow is much diff. Def an odd ball but one that works once you get a hang of it.

Crazy how two small shops provide us with some of the best modern pinballs.

I’m actually been pleasantly surprised with the amount of code TBL offers. Plenty for me as of now although I hope they put in that wizard mode.

Edit - tilt all good! No need to adjust in settings.

Has anyone attempted to recreate the original ball launch button yet? The bowling ball one?

when you shoot the left orbit, should the ball return to the left or right flipper?

Tip of the right on mine.

Ok mine too. Thanks

Mine goes to left...

What's your playfeild angle.
