I don't recall getting anything if I do the CLU letters again once I have CLU lit and ready to roll. Maybe it does do something, but not sure.

This should help out with completing the disc multiball (basically just pound away at the center disc):

You shouldn't need a new trough for the machine, most likely it's just a bad opto. Test your optos and see if there is a problem with one of them (the test option is found in the menu).

Check your optos.......mine get dirty alot. You need to take a q-tip to them and/or a can of compressed air to clean them..............sometimes both.

disc multiball needs 10 jackpots, then the centerbank comes up and you hit that three times...then the centerbank drops back down and you hit the disc for a super

Once the clu mode start is lit, relighting the lanes doesn't get you anything. However, starting the mode with 2 lanes lit will let you get one of the clu shots easy. I try to save that for the shot through the bumpers. And of course if you miss finishing it takes multiple lane lights to relight the mode start.

definitely use the inlanes for the shot through the bumpers

Are you positive?
I think it counts as progress towards starting CLU mode a second time.

Can someone tell me what the Zen switch does exactly? I see zen on the screen but does it have any function in the gameplay?

yes. if you roll over the zen switch then you can hit the tron targets afterwards and it will count as hitting all 4 with just one shot

Oh nice never would have figured that out. I usually don't read rules or watch videos on games to learn rules until I have extensively played a game, I like to try and figure it all out but that one baffled me. Thanks.

I don't recall what the last version I played was but once CLU was running, completing CLU again would count as a CLU shot. It would unlight the CLU helmet still lit farthest to the left. So if you made the 2 left shots already and needed the right orbit and the scoop, finishing CLU would unlight the orbit since it is left of the scoop. So a strategy was to wait to complete CLU until you were getting low on time or having a hard time with a shot.

It only worked once though. Repeatedly completing CLU did not count as shots. Maybe the rules have changed.

I didn't recall the rule that 2 lanes already needed to be lit. Again I have not played much of the new code version.

Everytime you relight the CLU lights during CLU mode it completes the leftmost CLU shot for you. This is on factory settings.

Disc mode takes six shots to the open disc then three shots to the recognizer that comes up followed by one last shot to the open disc to complete.

For light cycle you get an instant completion with a super jackpot (leftramp > quorra > right ramp)

ZEN is a nice rollover, when you hear or see the ZEN activation shoot the TRON targets on the left side for an instant activation of the current flashing TRON mode.

And there ya go!

I thought every time you completed the Clu lights in Clu mode, one of the shots is activated (from left to right). So basically hitting the left ramp over and over makes it possible to complete the mode

How much CLU could a CLUchuck, chuck if a CLU chuck could chuck CLU.

I think its just points and nothing special.

Clu sells seashells by the seashore of simulation

To clarify on this, only shots to the disc build toward raising the target bank. Others just build the jackpots for disc shots.

EDIT: removed incorrect info

They don't "need" to be lit. As we are all saying, having them ready to take out the clu helmet through the bumpers when you get the third one makes it easier to complete the mode. I just like that setup so I can choose when to use it quickly.

Completing C-L-U when Flynn's is already lit for CLU counts toward relighting it next time. But it takes completing C-L-U at least one last time when CLU isn't lit to actually relight it.

Just verified it with the glass off, even though I knew I was right:

C-L-U lights CLU.
Pushed C-L-U three more times, then started CLU.
Sent the ball down the outhole to end CLU because I'm impatient, then pressed C-L-U just one more time. Voila! CLU is relit.

Also, yes, with the new code, only Disc shots count toward completing Disc multiball, as plainly stated in the README release notes.

What's the max anyone has had the patience to run a single disc JP up to by looping the L ramp over again with ball(s) cradled on L flipper?

Patience, ha! How about skill, I think I've only actually kept the balls in play long enough to finish Disc MB twice now. Probably because I haven't learned the patience to stop and hold balls

True, it does require cradling at least one ball during MB. Try it, you'll like it! Ok, no, I prefer a fast and furious multiball, but I also like putting up huge scores... and they happen more often when I play my mb's with control.

On the new Tron Disc MB, I looped the L ramp around 10 times, and I think my next disc jackpot was in the 2-3M range.

sounds like some good risk vs. reward

Which is incorrect; in case anyone still thinks this, I reiterate (by quoting myself):

I just thought it was odd that no further discussion ensued...

yeah some of the modes don't stack too well together.

I don't like to follow gem during light cycle because the target bank is up and makes the gem shot a little more difficult and I don't like clu and zuse together because there are 8 different shots I have to hit in a quick amount of time.
