Or you could just install it. Unless you are never going to play the game and treat the pinball as a work of art

Spooky’s web site has a link to a support page for their older games, but I can’t find the support page for Halloween and Ultraman. Does anybody know what the link is?

Thank you. I needed a “new” in front of spooky.com to see info. for the latest games.

To Spooky
Ultraman should never die!!! Why not show Ultraman flying away to the right and add call-out stating”Ultraman needs to restore his strength.” Then you need to re-earn the mode.

I just paid for #302. PinballStar was the distributor.

What number are you?

#302 scheduled for delivery Monday. Woo hoo

Just set-up my Ultraman yesterday. The ball will sometimes jump out of the end of wire-form and drain when I make a left ramp shot. This seems to happen about once every 10 games. Is there anyway to fix this?

There was a bend in the ramp. The last section was bent downward and a fast ball was partially airborne before it got to the end of the ramp. It would then hit the loop at the end of the ramp bounce off the glass and down the drain. Removing the bend seems to have fixed it. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the guidance. Could you take a “perfect alignment” photo with the flipper active? Mine is adjusted as per your picture but the ball still hits higher than optimal. Maybe the range of my active flipper extends farther than yours?

Thanks. That doesn’t explains my issue. my flipper is almost the same when activated. I might try a different rubber band.

Code…

no code yet

My old 65 year old eyes have no problems reading the displays. I like the changes to the UI. I still don’t understand what the triangle and square like things on the grid display are for.

I really like the menu option to turn off the Baltan wave. A great option for those of us who don’t have the creep issue.

Some people had an issue with the Baltans by the buildings slowly slowly coming out from behind the buildings over time. Code was added which made the baltans peek out of the building in a wave every time the ball went down the wire form behind them. This reset any creep so that it was not noticeable. Turning off this in the menu causes Baltan to only come out from behind buildings when he is needed. I like this better.

It seems like the modes get easier and easier with each release.

After 4 weeks of use, the mystery scoop deflector on my Ultraman was bent backwards resulting in difficulty making shots to the scoop. I bent the deflector back to a 45 degree angle and the now the shot is much more reliable. I’ve seen a few posts about replacing the scoop to fix this issue. My question is, which replacement deflector is the most rugged and least likely to bend in the future. Bending the scoop back to 45 degrees every few weeks is not my preferred solution.

The after image looks brighter but the “free play” text looks harder to read.

This may seem like a dumb question but what do the different colors mean for the insert lights down the center of the playfield?

Did you press the start button before the calibration is complete. If I get impatient and do that, the ball lift is in an incorrect state. spooky really should update the code to disable the start button until after calibration is complete.

6 months since the last Ultraman code update, hope a new update comes soon.

Changing it to 5 ball when the kids play will allow them to get to Pigmon more often. It’s easy to change back when you want to play ( or just drain the last 2 balls).

Watched the Spooky twitch stream. New code will be released Sunday.

Keep adding Kaiju. I’d be happy to wait longer for more Kaiju.

I too would like to know that, and also what most of the other lights mean. When I have people over to play pinball and they ask about the meaning of some of playfield lights, most of the times I can’t answer.

Fight 3 for Pigmon. Don’t have to beat them, just fight them.

Issue 2: I sent the following issue to Spooky a while ago and don’t know if it has been fixed(l am not near my machine and can’t check). . Could this have happened you?

“While flipper training is active, depress and hold the flipper button on that side. After training is complete, the flipper goes down even though the flipper button is still depressed, the ball is ejected and rolls down the flipper to the out hole”.

I posted this to the Halloween forum a while ago. You can clean the hidden files using the commands below on a Mac without buying additional software.

To check to see if there are hidden files:
From your terminal, type the following “cd /Volumes/“ followed by the name of your SD (no space between the name and the /)
Type “ls”. You should see only your Ultraman .pkg file letting you know you are in the right area before proceeding
Type “ls ._*” This will list any hidden files
If there is a hidden file, type “rm “ followed by the full name of the hidden file including the “._” at the front of the file. (Yes Space between the name and the rm command)
