Same thing happen to me. Is this what you are getting in your display ?

Spaces should be there.

Question, was 057 present on your TBL? IF it isnt it will not boot from there. As mentioned in the manual, 057 was just an example. Last official version was 059. So, question is, which version(s) are present on your TBL? If not deleted almost all of them have 051 or 052 present

I've been a pinball enthusiast for over a decade, and have cycled through countless machines at my location through the years. After 5 full hours of play on TBL yesterday, it's my opinion that this code update is single-handedly the greatest update in pinball history. The game is forever transformed into the best-integrated machine of all time and it is unlikely to be surpassed. The action is non-stop, shots are found everywhere, points are found everywhere, and if you're good enough with the new rules you can blow up the game like never before.

-- The new callouts keeps the player engaged and there's no guesswork on where you need to go
-- The hidden jackpots are fun and creative
-- The added characters give the game new life and more smiles (Knox Harrington's laugh.... lol)
-- The bowling ball perks are creative and allows for variation of strategy in every game
-- The car and rug modes are no longer excruciating
-- The extra movie clips keep the game fresh instead of repetitive
-- The shot multipliers add gameplay strategy for high scores
-- There's more variation in the bowling alley shots which keep it fun
-- There are so many movie scenes now. It's a joy to constantly look up at the screen, and to even be able to. The game pauses long enough at those intervals to allow the user to enjoy those moments. Not enough games do that
-- The bonus actually has value (someone got 8 million on their first try last night)
-- The new sounds and new music adds to the audio variation
-- The Mystery awards are fun and not repetitive like last time

I have this game on location at The Pinball Co-op (pay to enter, play as much as you want). Anyway, this game had a line of people playing it all night long. Six hours of constant play in total, and nobody got tired of it. It was like a whole new game. The rules have enough depth to be constantly challenging and entertaining for pinball veterans, while at the same time not being too confusing for pinball noobies. It's literally the perfect balance for everyone. It's like a more-complex and incredibly packed Bally/Williams game. This update alone immediately vaults the value of this machine up another grand or two. Why are people paying more for a Toy Story?

In my opinion: It's the best layout, the best theme-integration, and best ruleset in pinball history.

Bravo, Dutch Pinball. You have a masterpiece.

Deleted every update except last which is .55 I'm guessing 1.0 full update but just checking if you can update from .55?

Great review! Basically everything I experience, just used brevity in my prior comments. The game, in totality, is now simply one of the best out there, periord...code was huge!!! Absolutely nothing on this machine feels " cheap"...B/W on steroids...subtle brilliance in the code...such a game!

To see a company stick it out with the ORIGINAL, realizing the true vision, deserves huge props. Very grateful to have this one, and the relationship built with their amazing team!!

Great review. But can't I have both?

Was going to download 1.0 on a MacBook Pro. Was asked for an e-mail and password. That feels new. Anyone else have this?

Due to the experience of Dkjimbo I decided to be safe and adjust the update to require 0.58 or 0.59 to install. These versions have the faster update method, so hopefully this prevents the more stubborn update issues like Dkjimbo encountered.

Programmer Koen has changed the update process as there were people reporting issues when updating from an old version.

Now you need to have 058 or 059 installed first. From 058 upwards the update process was changed making it much faster. With previous updates this wasn’t needed but now we think, due to to the large size of 100 update, it is.

Update page is adjusted.

Please try again, the update was unavailable for a few minutes while I was uploading the adjusted version.

Thanks Koen. Now it is working. So, bad idea to go from .54 to 1.0 ?

And thanks for all the hard work Koen!!

So happy to hear about the code. Trying to rejoin the club of anyone is interested. Put my order in a few weeks ago as well so stylist I’m on the list. When I had the game originally, the code was a little too shallow although it didn’t need a lot more. Not looking for JJP pirates. This looks to be a great addition.

New code is fantastic. Everyone else can keep Godzilla. I think TBL is the all time game No. 1.

Now that the code is done, DP can move on to game 2. Put me on the list....

Thanks took it up to .59 first and then to 1.0 and everything went as it should so thank you ! What an update so fun and so much additional code. Thank you DP and thank you Koen!

So did some quick and dirty gameplay video. Not the best of game, sorry, but gives you guys an idea at least

And spoiler alert, link below shows Dude abides !!

Rensh, how do you cancel character multiball when the ball goes in the saucer and you want to collect more ? Thought had to try to avoid in order to collect more before starting?

Hit the launch button. You have to be collecting over the line or something else at the same time to cancel.

You'll see a launch button cancel animation in the lower right of the screen for a timed amount if it's available.

Quite the endorsement.
Haven’t been following but friend enjoys his so far.
Deposits refundable on these or no?
Thx!

How do you check/change the date/time. Can't find it anywhere in the menu

At the moment you can do it in the BIOS or the OS. Of course we want to have this possibility in the service menu, but there was a user privilege issue which delayed this feature till after 1.00.

If you have a Mark it zero or let’s go bowling lit you can abort with the launch button.

What you have done so far is nothing short of awesome. Great work!

Is there a menu option to eject the 5 balls from the trough prior to lifting the PF, or is it a manual process? I couldn’t find it, but then again, I may have overlooked it.

I deleted all previous updates but .59. Loaded 1.0 with absolutely no issues.

I’m having the same issue as dkjimbo, I’m on the constant loop and when I hit alt f2, it takes me to an enter command screen but that is also on a loop, so it’s constantly flashing similar to the tumble weed loading screen. When I enter the echo command nothing happens, the screen just goes blank again after I hit enter and then back to the same loop with the tumble weed. How do I stop it from constantly looping?

Thanks, working on that now, main issue now is I don’t know which code I had on there, but hopefully through process of elimination I will get the right one

As an early achiever still a ways down the list they better start upping their preorder machine ratio before thinking about announcing another machine. Awesome to hear the new code is great and DP can get some love for it, but it’s looking like it is going to be a decade since my order before I’ll see mine if I’m lucky. They have some things to make right before hopping to something new.

Starting to get a feel for a list of people that might want this since the 1.0 code is out now. Basically would be a clone of my disk that would have the 1.0 code and the music above in place. Every time you restart the machine, it switches between the 7 songs randomly in each of the 3 categories I have listed. You need to have rights to the music

Need to price it out, but should be cheap (cost of drive, packaging). Really only looking to ship US for now.

It seems like it would help folks out that both want a backup and some good music in place.

PM me if interested.

I was looking to see how I can view the trophy's/achievements that were added in the 1.0 code but cant seem to find how to access that. Has anyone found how to view those?

Thanks
Ed

Hold both flippers, select your name player profile, exit. Hold both flippers again and you will see it.

Thanks for the quick reply Rens! Was that somewhere in the manual? I was reading the manual this morning but did not see it in there.

Thanks again!
Ed

It’s not in that part of the manual.

I am working on a Complete manual and this is in the non rule section of the manual. That part hasn’t changed a lot by the way. Testmenu is roughly the same.

Expect to wrap it up this week and sent it to dtp person.

You can also see this in action in the first minute of the videos i posted earlier.

I will copy this player profile part into the rules manual and post it later today. After all it ain’t sjabbos so am allowed to work

I played some on my stream yesterday

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1625024560

A couple comments:
1) the code update is awesome. New rules, new clips, new callouts, overall a lot more fun.

2) I find myself trying to collect Walter's ball first which stops the time on Mark it Zero. Even after you complete the mode, it continues to give you 100k more than the previous value each additional time you make the shot. This can turn into huge scores later in the game that make this shot worth more than about anything else. This might need to be nerfed a bit.

3) Ran into one fatal bug. I got a ball stuck then removed the glass to free it. After putting the ball back in I was holding the glass in with my hand until I got to a bowling mode and opened the coin door to put the lock bar back on. Because I opened the door it cut the power so there was no ball on the bowling alley. It let me play it virtually but after that it would never leave the mode or do a ball search. It resolved after power cycling the but I lost a good game.

4) I think it would be cool if sometimes the mystery award occasionally showed the exact clip from the movie and gave you nothing. Maybe it could do this when you put it in the scoop when it isn't lit.

My current go to strategy too. I've actually reset the Mark It Zero completion count to 5 again as I was completing this mode almost too easily since the code update.

Thanks for streaming the latest version Ben! It's nice to be able to sit back and observe all the new game features while someone else plays.

Hey, I watched a chunk of your stream today!

2. There seems to be a bug where Mark It Zero stays lit when you have the wizard goal (and maybe the Walter bowling ball perk), like you had yesterday. You should be required to spell ZERO each time but in this case it isnt. The bug has been reported and I'll fix it for 1.01. Also I'll check if the scoring shouldn't ramp up that hard even after fixing that bug.

3. Yeah that's a tricky one. I suspect there will be more bugs like this if you open the coin door while something is happening. You could have tried going into Coil Test and pulsed the bowlingReturn one (and maybe the bowlingRelease since you had already pressed launch?), that might have kickstarted the game back up. But anyway, the code should become more robust no doubt.

4. Keep collecting those level 1 mystery awards and you might be surprised

Thank you for the great TBL code Koen AND monitoring/providing input (along with Rens) on Pinside!

Yepper!!..

After ten plays on the new code made it to the Dude Abides and completed it. (Well I think I completed it). I hit all the character shots and started mutliball.

What I love most about the code update is the integration of the upper playfield more especially during character multiballs.

With 201 games played on my TBL its been trouble free so far. Well done Dutch Pinball I can't wait to see what's next.

Can confirm that one of the mystery rewards gave me nothing but a giant laugh Lolol. Well done dp. If anything the scene should run a bit longer lol

I do like the idea of some level 1 rewards doing more hilarious cutscenes that didn’t make the game itself through regular play!!
