#17 landed in AZ! Couldn't fit the box through the door as the game itself was strapped to the crate and the delivery guy would not slide the crate over the threshold. Getting ready for the festivities!

I got mine to work! Big change is the selectable modes of monsters to fight, and the accompanying clips of whichever monster you chose from the TV show, playing ultraman fighting him while you hunt the shots required.
Also the Spacium Store. Buy: points, tilt warning, unlock house, 30 sec ball save, 2x, etc

One tweak to check- When you go to install your balls, put one on top upper playfield at highest point of the loop and let go. It may get stuck under the ramp (with a light powered shot) as mine did. Had to grab the ramp and twist slightly to obtain clearance. It's tight in there. Would pass through on a good powered shot though but will be wearing on the ball if you don't fine tune.
My 15yr old son who rarely plays pinball except to appease me I think, played my Ultraman. I had to take a call so I walked off. He came and found me - "Dad!! Ultraman is broken! It just kept shooting balls out over and over and over and also kept saying jackpot! Jackpot! on repeat!.... can you fix it?" Hahahahah. he was at 28mill when I came in.
Quoted from Rarehero:No. Nothing PC ever makes sense or works for me. Every PC I’ve ever had decided to break or not work for random reasons. I tried the virtual Window thing and it almost destroyed my Mac. PC has a thing out for me. Mac forever. They make sense & work.
If this can’t be fixed, this is something that should have been disclosed before taking money. Every pin or any video game I’ve ever had to update works just fine with a Mac. You can’t assume your buyers have a PC only. I don’t buy products that are PC only.
If you're going to ship a game that NEEDS constant updating, and I can’t update it without bricking it…oooph. Please fix this or offer full refunds to buyers who do not use PC. Thank you.
I dont have a Mac and I don't buy products that are Apple only either. Not everything works on all platforms across the industry. Still waiting for Hulu to support PIP on Android, currently Apple only. Yet PIP works fine on netflix. Hulu didn't tell me that before I subscribed.
The average person I know doesn't even have a computer anymore, they use their phone for everything.
Quoted from Rarehero:How do you use a phone to update a pinball machine?
Not sure. I expect with the more new pinball people entering the market, there will be more favors called in over time 
Quoted from Morinack:I have not figured out yet what triggers the store to come up.
Have to have the minimum amount of Spacium collected when entering the scoop, to enter the store menu. I believe it is 3spacium initially.
Quoted from Rarehero:So, you’re just accepting that a normal function is now broken? And it’s on me to go bother people to make this game work? Instead of it just working like all other USB updatable games since 2006?
Sorry, I do not accept this.
I’ve supported Spooky & would love to continue supporting Spooky, but I’m not going to be part of a Deeprootesque cult that gives them a pass for bad things. I’m a paying customer, not a cheerleader or influencer. As a customer, I will reasonably discuss things that are unreasonable about the product. If this is unacceptable & this thread is only meant to be a cheerleading exercise, perhaps Spooky will refund my deposit in good faith. You’ll never hear from me again, and you can have fun driving all over town looking for a PC to update your game.
You are cheerleading Mac for being so great and then telling people not to cheerlead spooky?
Reversal, maybe you should yell at Mac about why their hardware configuration doesn't support spooky and a simple USB download? Obviously per previous posts someone can get Mac to act "correctly", it just doesn't want to on an average day. It's all in how you look at it.
Quoted from TechnicalSteam:Had this happen today on upper playfield.
Seems there needs to be more space. Wonder if a small spacer would be enough to sort this out..
Any idesa?

Grab the ramp and gently twist it a little. Had to do that to mine.
Quoted from TigerLaw:Still waiting on my shooter. Did Spooky reach out to you before sending it?
Yes they contacted me to send HWN shooter (#88) and asked if I still had the game or to see if I had new owner information. I am #17 UM so I asked if they were sending my UM as well. She checked and said ok we will send that also.
My Ultraman will be at SPF Expo in AZ this weekend on freeplay with the rest of the 200 pins! Come on by if you need a taste test.
Quoted from Rarehero:Typo on the instruction card. Although Kaiji does seem like it could be plural for Kaiju…but I looked it up….nope.
[quoted image]
The other typo was Benular instead of Bemular. I reported that last year, did that get fixed on yours?
Screenshot_20220218-113858_Gmail (resized).jpgAdjusted my diverter to the left one notch before I took my UM to Zapcon. And with the upper decorative plastic removed, I could see that it was the right idea. Gave the ball somewhere to settle down on its initial landing before rolling away down into headquarters, instead of rolling backwards back down onto the ramp. Made a big difference. And still past the right wall edge when pointing towards the right.
Before-

After-
Quoted from mummite:Is this an easy adjustment? what are the steps to adjust the diverter.
Pretty easy. Removing the screw closest to the servo, gently wiggling the diverter up off the spline, reposition/push down and put the screw back in.
Make sure you cycle it in the menu to check both positions and put it back to ramp diversion before finishing.
Here is the angle you may see when you first look at it. Way too far to the right. One left spline movement will put it just at the edge of the right hole where the red line is. Then that gives you much more room once it moves left for the house shot (as seen in previous post)

Quoted from Roostking:We're both Halloween and UM your pins? I tried to play HWN but it got stuck in the divertor. I tried wiggling it and ball search did nothing, finally walked away. A few steps later and the guy says the ball is lose. I come back to flip and it falls off the playfield somewhere lol. I just said not my day for Halloween I guess. UM looked great and always had someone playing. Bummed the RZ was down as well.
No that Halloween was not mine, I kept mine at home. That was my UM though.
I got some games in on RZ Friday, first time playing. It played good but felt like the only main thing to really do was to constantly work on coffin add-a-ball.
Quoted from Cheeks:A strong left orbit shot leads to a saucer that triggers a mode select.
You mentioned the Living Dead Girl add-a-ball multiball.
Locking balls behind the drop target starts House of 1000 Corpses - a 7-ball multiball.
There are a few other side things as well.
Certainly not the deepest game, but much more to do than the add-a-ball.
Ah thanks for the info. Will have to play it some more
In one of my groups is a old timer prop maker. He has many fascinating items he is always pulling out of some old box. He busted this old UM maquette out today. First comes the sketch, then the maquette is made, then the suits are fashioned from that. Very cool
Screenshot_20220509-190653_Facebook (resized).jpgSpooky said new Ultraman content from the new studio on July 10th, which is Ultraman Day
Also 1.07 gameplay footage coming shortly
Quoted from mpdpvdpin:Really new, yes. New animations from the new hire. Halloween is getting some updated animations from the same company in a future update too.
I was particular how I typed that because their message said "new content".....but "new animations" makes it sound like new animations *instead of TV footage. You know how HWN has animations to replace the movie footage, but UM doesn't so far. It may just be a new "console" design etc and new UM vs ENEMY pics with still the same TV footage (and maybe more TV stuff). Just some speculations/thoughts/semantics until they get more specific.
Also saying wizard mode will be selectable from the menu so everyone can play it regardless of skill level
Looks like freeplay got turned off by default again on the newest code. A minor one-time annoyance but other than that lookin good so far over here!
Quoted from RussMyers:Do you have a link for that?
RM
Dunno if he is selling them but his username is Mykel Foxx on fb. He also made some good looking flipper toppers
