Quoted from crujones4life:

I know the code just dropped but any resets or other weirdness?

Quoted from bigguybbr:

I didn't have any last night while playing. Then again I've never had a reset on my Mando Pro

Quoted from crujones4life:

You have IC?

Quoted from JStoltz:

Would you mind sharing what stand you used for those black series helmets? Looks great!
I have that same Mando helmet that I've considered putting up top (maybe with some flashers on the corners tied into the game) since I can't rationalize an official topper.

Quoted from bigguybbr:

Sure do.

Quoted from Belvedere:

I was really hoping for the update to take care of the upper playfield flippers flipping when there is no ball up there. Call me OCD, but it drives me a little crazy. I picked up TSPP this past year & immediately purchased the PI-SIM board from France to take care of that same issue. What is the hold up on Mando ?

Quoted from Thunderbird:

They sell a board that will stop the madness of active flippers, when there is no ball in the upper pf? Wow, please send me a link of where to buy this board. Unbelievable that Xaqery Stern has not accommodated us by just putting a simple code update, that tells the upper flippers to not activate unless a ball is in the actual upper pf. So simple and inconsiderate Stern/he won’t do that, unless there is some issue we are unaware. Running flippers when nothing is there wears on the whole flipper assembly for no reason at all. Please Dwight, make upper flippers inactive, when there is no ball to actually flip.

Quoted from JStoltz:

A little harsh, imo. I’m sure everyone in the programming space at Stern has to triage the bug requests (and new development) and knock things out in order of priority/impact. I definitely want this feature (perhaps as an adjustment) too, but I don’t think we’re still waiting on it because any one person is “inconsiderate.”
I’d love for them to hire one or two more support programmers to work through their backlog faster, sure. But Dwight in particular has a good track record of engaging with the community and (eventually) getting around to the updates.
Best thing we can do is periodically submit constructive bug reports to Stern, imo.

Quoted from sirlonzelot:

Is Doug reading here ?

Quoted from JonCrox:

I have a non IC pro that I want to update code on but have the fear of issues so any feedback from non IC updates?

Quoted from Peanuts:

Do you mean "Dwight"?

Quoted from Thunderbird:

No attempt of being “harsh”, only calling a spade a shovel. We’ve repeatedly asked for a long time now to fix this simple code change to make upper pf flippers inactive with no ball…many of us have been reporting as a bug. So yes, it’s now reached the level of being inconsiderate of how we owners feel about this issue. If we were asking for some major fix/change that they don’t have time to do, well then…but we are not. Really like Dwight’s coding, so that’s not in question here.

Quoted from bigguybbr:

For those looking, it's feature adjustment #50 in the game menu. The 5 new colors themes are as follows
Noir - (Default) Normal Blue
Bright - Cool White
Ice - Another Blue
Sunset - Warm white
Life Day - Pulsing Green and Red
So life day kinda seems like Wookiee Christmas, so it is fitting that it is red and green

Quoted from crujones4life:

Anyone?

Quoted from TroyS:

What’s your worry with updates or IC? Worst case with a new SD card burn on new image and lid your old settings.

Quoted from cooked71:

Can an original Mando LE owner confirm whether or not your game can with spare plastics (ie goodie bag). Maybe post photo of what came with the game?

Quoted from J85M:

If no one else has later I will once I’m home tonight, currently sat in the hospital with my better half, so it may be much later today.

Quoted from JonCrox:

I'm not into burning new sd cards I just want to know if I can do a normal update with a usb or does the new code have issues with non IC games? So really the question is "has anyone with a non IC game done an update and is it running ok?"

Quoted from crujones4life:

I installed my MRS switch today in the UTURN on Mando. I have attached pictures of what comes in the box and tried my best to document the process with pictures. 2 screws to remove the old switch. Cut the wires from the old switch. (I dismantled the old switch trying to make a screw template for the MRS but it didn't line up...so don't do that...lol). I just decided on a spot for the screw that was not near the original 2 holes. You only need one screw. The directions say to drill a pilot hole in the new switch. I just screwed it in. (You do you...). There is a small bit of play (up and down) with the MRS in the switch slot so I just centered it. Then I tightened the screw into the bottom of the playfield. Make sure not to overtighten as the switch will start to bow. If that happens (happened to me) just back the screw out a bit till the switch is flat against the bottom of the playfield. Strip the old wires (add heat shrink tubing if you want) and solder the new wires to the old ones. One green wire to the red wire. One green wire to both black wires. Doesn't matter which way you wire it. Heat up the heat shrink tubing and BAM! You're done.
I play tested that UTURN shot like crazy both with the glass off and on. *ZERO missed hits.* The MRS activates when the ball is within approximately 1/3 of an inch! The ball physically cannot be that far from the switch and pass through the UTURN. It is impossible for the switch not to register a hit when a ball is shot through the UTURN. This is the perfect fix for missed switch hits on this shot! Phenomenal product, can't say enough good things!
M&M creations Sonic is who you want to contact to buy this switch from!
Got my 2nd highest score ever, because my super jackpot shots actually registered!

Quoted from BSoulMan:

Thank you for this post- I did reach out to M&M (and Matt responded promptly) and I received my MRS within 2-3 days.
Using your photos as a guide, it took about 10-15 minutes to install, and it works beautifully! All U-Turn shots are registered properly
I highly recommend this for anyone that has a Mando with the issue with the U-Turn registering shots
Can reliably Start/Finish Ambush and the Super Jackpots work every time now...
Big shot out to M&M for this solution and CruJones4Life for the post!

Quoted from eyewantone:

I tried the update on mine, non IC, and now I just have red lights on the board and the game won't start...

Quoted from crujones4life:

Damn really? Did you try to re-download the update and try again? Or re-download an older version?
Also Pro vs Premium/LE update?

Quoted from eyewantone:

It happened last night, so I haven't had much time to play with it more. But it doesn't even boot and the LCD screen is blank...just 4 red bright lights on the CPU. It was weird as it said the update installed. I turned it off and when I turned it back on, nothing. I'll call tech support if I can't get it going. This is a premium machine.

Quoted from sirlonzelot:

Try a new sd card, that should work

Quoted from KSP1138:

I'm guessing they will tell you to try reseat the SD card, and if that doesn't work to try a new SD card with the latest image file.

Quoted from eyewantone:

If reseating doesn't work I'll try a new SD card...does it matter what kind, size, etc.? Thanks for the suggestions.

Quoted from Cire113:

So I was playing and one of my mando ship guns literally fell off onto the playfield so I just was able to notice it quickly enough to get the glass off and super glue it back together …
No clue how it would break like it did;really disappointing
Also had my first freeze and reset on the new current code ; child is lit screen showed up and the game just straight up crashed and rebooted ….I have a pro
Not a good day for me with mando today;
Managed to get a new high score of 300 million though
My tech came to troubleshoot the uturn issue not registering hoping for a fix but it’s looking more like the permanent solution is to get a MRS switch from Matt @ m&m and to go that route if I really want it resolved.

Quoted from crujones4life:

I guess Mando owners without IC aren't ever going to be able to update to current software...Xaqery you are our only hope!
Also please take the time to report this to Stern’s bug report email.

Quoted from donjagra:

WTF are you talking about!?! You seriously don't know how to update a game with a thumb drive?

Quoted from D-Gottlieb:

He is referring to the bugs for non-ic games that are evident.

Quoted from donjagra:

My game is pre IC and hasn't had any issues at all. I did add the dongle about three weeks ago to save myself the trouble of using the thumb drive and to track achievements.
I also edited that post because rule #1

Quoted from PeterG:

Do you need insider connect to have the topper working, or just missing out on some statistics? But all the gameplay is there.
