You don’t need it.

Are you sure? The DMD wasn't turning on when turning on the game. Does it just take awhile?

I’m sure.
Hold tight I’ll be home in a couple hours and can give you a hand if you still need help

Idk why that response posted bad. I’ll be home in a coupLE hours and I can help. I can’t remember all the connections. But that piece is not used in my system

any news regarding the videos ? It's been some time since last time. I've checked on Youtube for instance and found nothing. I think people (and I) needs to see features and gameplay before purshase, tks !

Any updates??

Looks like something is in the works

So for everyone waiting for this product, notice the lack of gameplay videos, which potential customers have repeatedly asked for. Gameplay videos would help tremendously in attracting buyers and generating interest. Yet almost 3 months later, crickets... This is what you're getting with mirco. It's a simple ask....

And I'm actually interested in seeing what this 2.0 kit can do... I hope more 2.0's are developed in the future for more games.

The customer service/communication is legendary. And you're seeing that it's a pattern that should turn you off from buying anything from him, unless you have no other options.

I coulnd’t be more agree... it’s really strange that such simple things such as videos couldn’t be done. Just look at the other projects such as Funhouse, there are at least 10 videos of Pedretti and more with gameplay. It’s not like we were waiting for a new pin to be released...come on.

what's crazy is a lot of projects in pinball don't go to the end because of difficulties, time needed and so on... but this one is done (finished??) and for whatever reasons, it seems like Mirco don't want it to push it for any new customers. Just look at the TOTAN 2.0 on Mirco's site, there is no information, nor pic, nothing on what's in there, the software... I mean... come on. At this price, could we even got some tiny infos on the kit ?

That's really unfortunate because I think a lot of effort and work has been done and some passion given. I would put give some money and take the risk to buy Mirco but we need more infos. That's TOTAN 2.0 was not started with Mirco... so what happened ??... give use infos.... please. My TOTAN beg for a new software.

any news from this kit on what's in there ?
almost one year has passed since last TPF and I don't I have any infos nor answers. It's beyond my understanding why it's so hard to get any infos on this... for potential new customers like me.
Is the HD version still something you're working on and that's why you don't communicate? (next TPF maybe ??)

I mean, for that much money, we deserve a bit of infos, right? it's not like there is nothing on the website. It's the first time I see that.
please bring some infos

No answer for ...3 months for... really basic questions. Not sure what’s going on. I wish Buthamburg (or Pedretti) could take over this, I’m sure it would be managed in a much better professional approach.
Now we know that not only the playfield activity is an issue, it’s everything from this company.
Too bad, it was promising.

Your mileage may vary, but I've yet to play a 2.0 kit I've enjoyed more than the base game. They all seem to sacrifice the game's soul at the expense of more code depth and/or "better" sound & graphics. Maybe best to just let this die on the vine and enjoy TOTAN for its limited but still impressive charms, which made all of us fall in love with it at some point of our journey in the hobby.

the thing is, if it was not Mirco, I don't think the story would have been the same. I still think, along with all my Totan's friend owners and people I've discussed with, that this game is way too easy and the rules much too shallow (make a wish... tales....) and it really needed code changes knowing also that original rules was there too. Also the auto luncher was a really nice addition, probably removed for cost saving by WMS. At the end, the choice to upgrade would have been better to no choice at all and ... I think a code upgrade like this require a ton of work... all of that going to trash because it's Mirco.
Again, I still hope another big player to take over, if it's possible... We'll see I guess.

Problem is Mirco only sells it, he isn't the one programming it so there's a weird disconnect going on; but maybe no one other than Mirco WOULD sell it so there's that.

I'll give them credit, this probably does the closest job to actually making more of the OG game. It basically adds a second level to each tale plus other stuff. But certaintly not all that stuff "works."
But better than Funhouse 2.0 where I don;t even understand what the point is.

Yes I agree. This concept sucks, all around.

I think there are games/layouts that could be better with 2.0 kits, but people keep rewriting rules to the already pretty decent games.

I'm not sure he said the concept sucks and this doesn't bring much to the discussion: I do not like Mirco and his products as well but can keep a distant view of this. With that saying and with this spirit, you may cancel a lot of pinball projects including mods (what's the point after all ?). Software is by far, the hardest part and there are not a lot of offers in the market so I don't see any issue if we have a choice with a kit or keep the current soft.. The purpose of this may be to add a new interest to the current owners maybe more than the future Totan buyers.
Regarding the graphics, the current kit animations for sale (from my understanding but I may be wrong) are the same one but include new modes so maybe the first reference was more on the HD WIP project with completly different animations but this one is not the kit.

I'm sure someone is working all day on Eight Ball Double Deluxe; for some unknown reason.

Well if there's no issue then what are you pissing & moaning aboot?

Let me tell you what the issue is; Mirco has monetized someone's lazy day home project.
Guy is super nice, but he's slowly working on this project that is farrrrr from done; which would be totally great if you didn't pay 2,500 euros/dollars for it! Now you have a completely uncompleted (ha is that a term?) mash up of shit going on in the game which no one is working hard to fix, and has apparently 1 beta tester in the world; the VFW.

Funhouse 2.0 has literally no fucking purpose to other making videos of multiple creepy Rudys look like they are jerking off...but it LOOKS professional as shit.

Maybe something is no more working with the developer and Mirco because I think there was regular updates in the past, it’s radio silence for quiet a while now.

They should rename it from “the forgotten tales” to “the forgotten mod”
