NC will take care of you, as they mentioned in the post above, they’re aware and take great care of their customers.

I have the inner orbit protector in my premium and i have not missed scoring a shot there since installing. AND.... it looks so clean and well cut that you have no idea it was not a factory piece. I highly recommend it.

Got a fresh issue where the drop targets keep attempting reset. Usually in pulses of three. Took a look but didn’t see anything out of place. No unusual activity in test. Any ideas?

Sounds like a bad opto (switch test mode, manually drop them and verify the opto registers for each target as it drops when you tap it), a broken opto interrupter fin on one or more of the drop targets (visually inspect the targets under the PF and make sure they all have their fins), a bent target that can't grab the shelf that keeps it up (bend targets forward so they can grab better), or a broken target shelf (replace broken plastic shelf).

Yeah it all checks out visually and seems to register normally. But I bet you’re right. Stupid optos.

My Rush LE registers a small number of points every time I tap either flipper button during a game. This doesn’t seem normal. Any ideas?

Make sure you've blackened out the little plastic tabs on the targets or the optos will "see through" them and work wrong. I masking taped mine, all but the tab, and hit them with black spray paint.

Go into switch test mode and see what’s registering to give those points.

Has anyone here bought a backglass from here?

Seconded.
it’s the best solution for the switch registering and looks like it belongs. Easy install, Can’t even see it, so clean and well cut.

GameRoom Mods are very nice people making
Great mods.

Thanks for the feedback and kind words guys! It really energizes us to hear people are enjoying our mods!

I won't buy anything off Facebook. Too many scammers. If you can't contact them directly, I'd pass

They have a website and I have been speaking with the owner via Whatsapp.

Seems completely legit.

This usually happens to me when I replace rubbers, like on slingshots. It can make the switch adjustment too tight.

I googled them and it seems 100% scam to me I could be wrong but I would not send them a cent. The website is https://xianek.eu/
Ive never communicated with a legit seller via Whatsapp.

.

Whatsapp is extremely common in Europe so that's not a qualifier for a "scam". The guy was very knowledgeable and responsive. If he created all the art and pictures and that website fot a big $100 scam for translites that seems like way too much work.

Are we supposed to be pushing pirated artwork on Pinside?

I can’t lie, I do like his nude Creature translite

Totally legit, does some nice stuff

https://xianek.eu/ is legit and I have purchased a LOTR backglass from him before. Just be aware, shipping is very slow, took 3 months+ to arrive.

Ya, he has faster shipping for 10 euros more.

He mentioned the glass could be an issue through to North America customs, may take longer regardless.

Added Dug’s speaker lights to my Rush Pro last night. Easy install. Wife picked the color we had up for the photo. But definitely like them and they match the owl!

Does anyone know where I can find about a 2 or 3 ft power cable extension,I have a splitter coming from my backbox power supply and need one side to be longer.

One of the frequent posters here made a pretty lengthy guide on how to install Expression Lights without lifting the playfield not long ago, but I’m struggling to find it. Did anyone happen to bookmark it?

Without looking, I think it’s back on page 184-185, if I remember correctly.

Edit: Yep, pg 184-185 has good info, here’s my post on it.

Yeah, it's pretty doable. Basically just requires taking the cover off the lights and then being comfortable flexing the pieces a bit, but definitely possible without too much difficulty.

Always nice when a new code drops for RUSH.....and that new update just dropped a few minutes ago.

Loading now!

Stern continuing to be masters of the code update....

LE V1.02 - November 29, 2022
==========================
Fixed:

- Fixed an issue that prevented Far Cry mutltiball from resetting properly
if the player ended the mode with a super jackpot lit.

- Fixed an issue that caused held records to prevent the player from boosting
their mode on their next ball.

- Fixed an issue that could cause the WEAPON IS READY display effect to play
if the game had previously had a player advance to One Little Victory Laps and
the player had the Vapor Trails album lit.

- Fixed an issue that prevented the instrument lane from correctly cycling
record colors in some cases.

Tweaked:

- Freewill Multiball:
- Improved detection for a ball locked behind the freewill lock during
Freewill Multiball. This allows players to re-lock the ball if the posts
do not capture a ball in time.
- Prevented the drop targets from resetting if Freewill multiball is lit
and the player has recently finished another multiball.

- Headlong Flight Multiball:
- Added an additional light show on the drum clock to indicate that Headlong
Flight multiball is lit.

- La Villa Strangiato:
- Changed the La Villa Strangiato timer to pause for choreography, pop
bumpers, and other effects.

- The Spirit of Radio:
- Changed The Spirit of Radio scoring so shot multipliers no longer multiply
the amount of points that go into the Radio Jackpot since the Radio Jackpot
itself can also be multiplied.

- Bastille Day Hurry-Up:
- Increased the number of Time Machine years earned per completion to 3 (was
2).
- Improved grace period handling in Bastille Day.

- Time Machine Perks:
- Changed Time Machine perks to now end at the end of ball. Perks will be
re-enabled every time a player upgrades their time machine.

- Records:
- Changed the number of records needed to light a mode to 1 (was 2).

- 2112 Wizard Mode:
- Improved introduction effects.
- Increased scoring throughout 2112 wizard mode.

- Skill Shot:
- Changed the skill shot to give the player an additional chance to plunge
the ball to the upper flipper for a skill shot attempt.

- Competition Install:
- Changed FREEWILL ADD-A-BALL difficulty to MEDIUM (was HARD).
- Changed MAX SHOT MULTIPLIER to 3 (was 4).
- Changed MAX NUMBER OF WILDCARDS to 3 (was 2).
- Sets "RESET RECORD BOOST ON DRAIN" to YES.

- Adjustments:
- Added "RESET RECORD BOOST ON DRAIN" adjustment with a default value of
NO. Game behavior will only change when the adjustment is set to YES which
will cause the player to lose any record boost % on a drain.

- Tech Alerts:
- Increased the inactivity detection duration for the L Ramp Exit Opto
switch.

- Improved synchronization of stepper motors during gameplay.

- Added additional game sound effects.

New:

- 2112 Difficulty:
- Added a new adjustment "2112 DIFFICULTY".
- Default: EASY.
- HARD adjustment changes gameplay so exactly 100 years are available:
- Planet mode max years changed from 10 to 5.
- Red Barchetta max years changed from 5 to 8.
- Headlong Flight max years changed from 10 to 6.
- Far Cry Multiball max years changed from 10 to 5.
- One Little Victory max years changed from 10 to 6.
- Added an additional high score table "2112 STARMAN OF THE AGES" for
players who achieve 2112 when 2112 DIFFICULTY is set to HARD.

Moved to System 3.27

- Added Connectivity Icon (Ethernet or WiFi Signal Bars) to attract mode
Insider Connected screens. The Icon will be displayed in the upper
right corner with the number of credits/free play.

- Blink selected icon in Service Menu Dot Matrix menus.

Dropping the number of records needing to light a mode seems like a big change!

I may finally actually get a skill shot now. The number of times I weak-plunge on the first try is like 95%. Us old folks thank you for this change!

Not sure I like that you lose perks at the time machine for losing your ball. Hopefully I can turn off that setting.
I can see losing things like combos because those are easier to get, but perks?

Sorry that was worded weird. The permanent multiball perks are still permanent. The other things like extended timers, easier rush targets go away at the end of ball, and have always gone away.

The change is now you get all of those back any time you upgrade, so when you upgrade on a new ball you’ll get extended timers, easier Rush targets, etc if you had made it that far in the last upgrade.

Thankfully they’re re-enabled once you advance the Time Machine again, so it’s not really a big change overall. I’m curious why it was changed to begin with, though. Maybe tournament players who know all the exploits can chime in?

The 2112 wizard mode difficult change is huge, actually looks attainable for most non-godlike players now. Nice touch they kept an additional high score for those that go after the original, harder setting.

Excited to see what new SFX have been added.

I was going to post something but Pete used up all the words

just kidding around if your names Pete

Not a problem! Thanks for clarifying! The MB perks were what I hated losing until I upgraded again. Makes more game sense now.

Not sure why this was done?? Maybe because they felt the successive modes were too hard to get?

He's not pushing? Just looking for some feedback as a potential buyer.

Not sure if it's from the new code or if I just never noticed til now ... but when your game ends and you have ball(s) locked and/or drop targets down, it waits for the precise moment during the Match animation when the owl strikes the numbers and then pops them. In other words, here comes the owl, aaaand BOOM <locked balls ejected and pops reset simultaneously>. I love this, nice subtle detail that was completely unnecessary but wonderfully implemented! Bravo!

I typically turn the Match feature off on my home games (pointless in free play environment) but I loved the animation for Rush so I left it on. I'm glad I did!

P.S. I also noticed the free 2nd attempt at skill shot, thought my switch was acting up at first.

I always leave the match on and at max volume. Love it when it scares the hell out of people
