Quoted from NightTrain:
Anyone know if there are plans to do more than just updates via WiFi? I would absolutely LOVE to play against other’s high scores. They could have daily, weekly, monthly, and all time high scores and awards.
I know people could cheat these, and people set their machines up differently. It would still be loads of fun though!

Would love to see an option to play head to head with people. Plug in an overhead camera and stream playfield video to the screen in their backbox. Could also use the built in camera so you can see who you're playing against. Would be a lot of fun.

Quoted from kermit24:
I just lost a 8M+ song bonus on Rocket Queen. There should be a leaderboard for the biggest losers. The most song bonus lost.

You're such a huge loser!

J/K I can't wait to get my LE.

Lol, I misunderstood, thought he meant he had to make a few minor cuts on the blades themselves. Maybe due to the hot rails, or whatever.

I thought the same.

Quoted from foxtj24:
I ordered on the October 14th, My distributor told me it now looks like end of Q1, Beginning of Q2 2021. At the time I ordered it was supposed to be 3 weeks.

That's disappointing. I ordered an LE on day 2 and was hoping to see it in Jan.

Yeah, this is all painfully slow. Reminds me of the wait for MMr LE. That was well over a year.

Bought myself another pinball T shirt for a prezzie. Definitely someone in my head when they designed that.

What are you talking about? There is no late price increase to anyone.

We're still waiting to see what distributors say about this, but the price increase is official on their website.

Quoted from Lermods:
anyone else having issues with the JJP support page? trying to download 1.17 delta upgrade and nothing happens when I click on the link.

Chrome doesn't want to download it because the page it's coming from isn't encrypted. You can right click the link and select 'Save link as' to get around the issue in Chrome.

I would love to see JJP move to docker containers if possible. Failed downloads would no longer leave the system in a bad state that forces you to reinstall the entire operating system. You could also easily implement rolling back to any previous version.

Dear God I hope it's not the fall. I ordered mine Dec 1 and I'm hoping for end of May, but I have not been told any dates.

I ordered Oct 7th and as of yesterday my distributor still has no idea when mine will ship.

Quoted from Pinball-Wiz:
Production is most definitely ramped up right now on GNR's.. it's just that all of them are going overseas so that's why there's a small lag in unboxings.
Be prepared for a wave of GNR LE's to hit the market... no way I'd buy a used one right now unless the price was right (not including CE's). Lots of people worried about playfield problems too, guys with old games waiting to dump theirs for a incoming NIB...
JJP was waiting on parts and things were slowed down with COVID.. but make no mistake, things are ramped up!

Hoping you are correct, but where are you getting this information?

Quoted from highdef:
I'm not trying to come off as woke or PC, but I noticed that the condom, bra, and underwear patches are still accessible in "non-adult mode."
This does not offend me one bit. I do not have kids and I'm very Rated R, however, I will soon have friends with kids finally coming to visit me. This is a game with flashy lights and cool toys, so kids are naturally going to gravitate towards it. Perhaps I am wrong.
It's just that I have a small collection, so it's not like they can walk over and play TMNT or Wonka while the adults throw down on GNR.
The game is obviously not intended for younger players, but it would make me feel more comfortable having the ability to hide sensitive patches like a condom or women's underwear when an 10-year old girl or boy is in my home. I would definitely want to have this as an option if I had a daughter.
It makes me a bit uneasy. I don't want to put my friends in an uncomfortable spot explaining or trying to hide "stuff" to their kid(s). The same applies if I decide to throw a work party sometime in the future. I want to be sensitive to those who are sensitive. Make sense?
Again, I know this is GNR, but I do wish there was a way to hide these particular patches, including the lighter. At the very least, perhaps they could become something else in Family Mode, even if each one is missing a callout. One could argue about guns not being kid-friendly, but there's no getting around it.
How do you parents deal with it? Are the kids kept off-limits?
In all seriousness, how does JJP address this in somewhere like Utah? I imagine their endgame is to sell as many games as possible.

In your situation, I would just let the parents know and let them decide on what they want to do. It's pretty simple for them to tell their kids "No, not that one." As for how I handle it in my own home... When the kids were younger I would simply avoid themes that I didn't feel were age appropriate for the kids.

JJP has plenty of family friendly titles. Not every one needs to be kid friendly.

Quoted from Vernisious:
Is there anyone else still waiting that purchased in October? I purchased through cointaker Oct 13th and have heard next to nothing. I ask when and they just lie and seemingly make up dates that come and go. I've heard good things about cointaker but I'm not impressed.

I ordered on Oct 7th through Flip N Out. Recently asked for a status update and never received a reply.

Quoted from Pinchild:
More than likely Cointaker is a very big distributor and are only allocated 5 at a time like every other distributor. This is why your waiting longer than others.

If that's how JJP is handling distribution, then it makes zero sense to ever go with a larger distributor.

Quoted from smalltownguy2:
This pretty much confirms it - JJP is just silently implementing mitigation measures to minimize the damage to the crap Mirco fields. Whether or not they're using the info they read here on Pinside (oh, you KNOW they're reading Pinside all the time, right?) or they are figuring this stuff out on their own, I guess we'll never know. Because they haven't said a peep about anything.
But know this: any of you who are sharing your fixes for things and those fixes get used on the production line, you are essentially "working" for JJP without getting paid. They are basically using Pinside as a crowd-sourced supply of brains and info on the cheap.
That's nice.

Are you in on GNR or are you just trolling like Jimwe5t? There are other threads to bitch about JJP in.

Congrats!
Direct or disty?
Which LE # ?
Order date?
If direct, hoping they're finally into November orders?
Last/highest number I saw posted in the forum was around #1834, iirc.

July 2021 build.

I just installed my Pinwoofer kit this weekend, and holy balls! The improvement was amazing. It is easily the best upgrade you can make to this machine. The stock speakers are okay, but they sound like ass compared to an upgraded machine with the Pinwoofer kit. If you're on the fence. Get off and pick one up.

Quoted from Vespula:
But what about da sound?
Can audiophile ears hear a difference?
Over my years in all my A/B comparisons of amplifiers there's usually always SOME difference... Whether it's discrete circuitry, quality of electronics, all resulting in things like better dynamics, frequency sensitivity, soundstage, etc. For me even if the features aren't needed, if the GT sounds better, even slightly, that's the one I want!

I have a Pinwoofer KO amp in my GnR and it is awesome. Such a massive difference vs stock audio. I have both GT and KO amps, and they seem to have the same performance.

Quoted from melumga:
Hoping for some help from the brains trust. Just received my LE today. In my first game the sensors and spotlights weren't working. Reseated some of the cables to the PCD board and it all started working again. After a few awesome games, I decide to set up the wi-fi connection. After entering my wifi password the machine rebooted (crashed?) and now it is stuck in a reboot loop. The last thing it does is flash the "Last Game Scores" image and the 2nd image below shows the final messages before it reboots over and over. Sometimes, it will just hang on the "Last Game Scores" page with the game accepting no input from any buttons. Please help. Thanks.
[quoted image][quoted image]

It could be the crash corrupted some data on the drive. I would try doing a reinstall of the software and see if that clears it up.
Go to the JJP support page and follow the instructions for a full install.

Quoted from paynemic:
Anyone have a link to a known good usb stick? I think I’m running into the problem of the machine not liking mine. Rather than randomly trying every stick in the house, if someone had an Amazon link that would be sweet.
Thanks in advance

I've had good success with USB SD card readers when trying to update firmware on JJP / CGC machines. They just seem to work better than USB thumb drives when it comes to booting a Linux based system.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KGR39PL

You will need an SD card as well. A small 16 GB micro SD card should be fine.
