Quoted from Photopin:

I think the ball hit the side of the ramp and the impact triggered something and it started launching balls. The first ball I shot into the ramp looked like it got stuck at the top like happens every now and then. I shot a second ball up there to knock the first loose and both were held by the magnet. The third ball I shot up the ramp stuck to the first two. It was only after that when the Subdivisions mode started.

Quoted from DugFreez:

What? No shout out to me for pointing out, to you, how useless the notches are on the front of the factory 5.25" speaker plates? Don't you remember asking me about the notches and you not even being aware of them or what they were? I sent you some pictures and explained that the plates didn't need them, and the plates may look better without them. It was just a few months ago, about the time you were saying: "Let me be clear, we have no interest in being in the speaker light business" when asking various questions about my speaker lights. Then you asked for one of my light kits that you put on your test bench and put through its paces with seeing how it worked and how much power you could pump into it before you fried the light strips.
It seems pretty weird that you would do all of that when you went out of your way, unprovoked, to say: "Let me be clear, we have no interest in being in the speaker light business" when it is now obvious, that is exactly what you were interested in doing.
I have often communicated with Pinwoofer Dan over the past 4 years. Usually with one of us or the other having questions to make sure our mutual customers don't have any compatibility issues with our products....and they never have. All of our products work nicely together without issue. So, I really had no reason to be suspicious of him when he would ask questions or asked for one of my light kits. Sadly...that was just me being a trusting dumbshit, as he was using that info and my goodwill to step on my toes and start selling his own speaker lights. Evidently, his "Let me be clear" rang true to me, when his statement about having no interest in getting in the speaker light business was clearly not true.

Be careful the company you keep.

Quoted from Jamesays:

Lets talk about Rush

Quoted from Vespula:

I would prefer to keep both.

Quoted from Vespula:

if anyone is going to do under cabinet, or back box, or speaker lights or topper lights and they have expression lighting .. then the ninja camp expressive light kit is the way to go, imo. They ALL sync with expression lights and are top notch quality ..and they did it first.

Quoted from Jamesays:

I have been a customer of
Dougs speakerlights.com
Ninja camp and
Pinwoofer I am very satisfied with all of their products and have no right to post my opinion on their Businesses other than Very Satisfied with all 3

Quoted from beelzeboob:

I go to all three for their original products that they excel in. In a related note, I also won't buy my reset boards from Pinsound; I get them from Rob Kahr.
And now back on topic before I piss you off: I played the 2112 challenge today and got to stage 4. It was awesome!

Quoted from Boslaw:

So would I but I think I have to ship the old one back as part of the exchange

Stage 7 first try!

Quoted from Hayfarmer:

Score?

Quoted from DanQverymuch:

Is anyone else finding that switch test is broken since the update?

Quoted from DanQverymuch:

Okay, thanks, so I guess it wasn't the update then.
What would cause this? Game works fine, but gives a tech alert on the shooter lane switch. Went into diag, and the switch indeed doesn't register, but it still fires the launch solenoid like it thinks your finger is a ball! Then we realize none of the switches are registering in the test! This happened as, sadly, I was selling the game. He still bought it so I would like to help figure it out for him!

Quoted from Sluggo39:

I’m also having this issue and I’m talking to Stern about it

Quoted from yzfguy:

Well, ya sold Rush and are therefore a traitor. We can no longer help you.
that is crazy.... Does it matter if the coins door is shut?

Quoted from wesman:

Looks like people have more issues with the Premium extra features? Is Pro just an overall stealthier, easier machine to maintain and not break?

Quoted from Vespula:

Yes and yes. Don't forget about also saving a couple grand.

Quoted from tscottn:

Question, On my Rush premium, my front scoop came with side protectors installed. I guess this was done at the factory due to all the problems with the bending metal and all. Problem is, this only allows a shot from the front to enter the scoop.
What's everyone's opinion on removing the side protectors and installing Ninjacamps mod to protect the metal from damage? This will allow a more wide open shot to enter the front scoop. Just would like to know your thoughts on if I should do it. Thanks

Quoted from yzfguy:

In my opinion, those blinders look like a sad afterthought. They get in the way, and the ninja camp protector looks and feels like what should have been there to begin with.

Thinking about a Premium or a Pro, and read the thread from a solid year ago.

I've played the Pro on location, and really dig it!

Quoted from PoMC:

At this point I'm still unable to completely silence the new shooter lane callouts. Replacing with a silent audio clip results in a pop being heard when it plays. The game music volume also slightly decreases when the clip is played. So it's actually way more annoying than any callout being played. I'm trying something else right now, but still get the pop sound.
So those callouts might need to remain in 1.13, but I am replacing the Pre/LE ramp and captive ball callouts that are in the Pro code. I don't need to silence them, just change them so they're not referencing non-existent game features.
Here's the stock pro 1.12 code if anyone wants to revert back it. Only keeping this link up a few days at the most because I'm low on cloud storage.

Quoted from Fussa71:

It may depend on how big of a RUSH fan you are. I've played the Pro (and own a Premium) If I didn't love the band so much, I would be happy with the Pro. I don't think it compromises game play too much.
But...Its RUSH!
I had to have the Premium!

Quoted from Big_G:

I think if you’re a pinball player, then you might want to get the premium or LE. But if you’re just a Rush fan who thinks having a Rush pinball machine is cool. Go for the pro.

Quoted from Apollo18:

Well said. Seconded.

Quoted from Big_G:

I also got to Cygnus II and 2112 but took me six balls. I bumped to 5 balls, home mode and all settings at “easy” level but since upgrade I changed to 10 balls as I was only getting to Cygnus I consistently. Lot of fun but didn’t complete either. This game is hard which is fine if set on standard or competition modes. Home mode with all other settings on easy or extra easy shouldn’t need a 6 ball game. Easy should mean easy whether pinball or video game or whatever. I’d like to see v1.14 make the modes easier to complete in the easy settings. Maybe just reduce the number of shots needed to complete the modes. Only one that’s easy is SoR. Love the game but on easy and home mode, should reach 2112 maybe 1 of 4 times on a 5 ball game, not 1 of almost never. That’s not “easy.” If easy is too easy for a player then just change game settings for a challenge.

Quoted from bigguybbr:

I would suspect another switch might be the culprit. On LZ I had a solder blob on a stand up that would cause some odd ball issues like occasionally points scoring when the EOS switch on the right flipper closed, but never showed up in a tech alert. As soon as I fixed the solder blob, everything worked.
I would check all the switches since it is giving a false positive with the shooter lane switch.

Quoted from Wicked-Flip:

When this game first shipped I said I think the Pro was one of the hardest games I've ever played. Every shot is finicky and the game punishes you for every miss.
I have over 1k personal plays on the default setting. I've never come close to book 1 on that setting.
When I bumped it down to the factory easy setting I got there first try but felt like I cheated so I turned it back to default and reset the scores. I haven't come close since.
I think there are 2 big reasons why the Pro is tough to get through.
1. The captive ball target on the premium gets a lot of accidental hits that the pro doesn't. You really have to go for that one on the Pro and it's a sucker shot.
2. The (vuk) shot on the premium gives you a nice consistant setup shot. The same shot (dead end) on the PRO just means random chaos that frequently results in ball out.
Tough game.

Quoted from Wicked-Flip:

Tough game.

Quoted from Vespula:

On my pro the dead end shot returns to the right flipper every time. Sometimes I can hit the dead end multiple times in a row because it always comes back to my right flipper. Never ball out. So your statement tells me the machine you played on needed adjusted.

Instrument dead end Target requires a precise shot and is a tough shot, agreed, but I'm getting better and hitting it is very satisfying. Especially when Freewill multi ball is ready.

I never played anything other than standard setting. And I've never made it to cygnus outside of the challenge mode. Someday.... No rush.

Quoted from the_carmanizer:

Has anyone else had their Ninjacamp scoop protector break like this? It looked and worked great ... until it broke. I don't want to purchase another if it's likely or certain to happen again. Just wondering if I got a lemon. Lasted for probably a year on a home game.
