Question...
If i have custom soundtrack sd card in maiden, can i still update code and keep those alternate tracks or does it go back to the original maiden music?

It will wipe it. Get another SD card.

I have the original card, can i update it w the new code and then just swap my custom sd card in it afterwards or no?

Yes
That’s not accurate. You will need to update any SD card to the new code, then go back and insert all of your custom music on the NEW SD card. If you update to the new code on SD Card “B”, then pull it out and out in SD Card “A” with your custom music, it’s going to load whatever code is on card “A”.
Quoted from tktlwyr:Full/Verify update has deleted all my settings and high scores.
It stated that it would in the first line of the "read me"

Thats normal.

Time to get to work Babee!
This is maybe a dumb question, but this is my first code update. What do I need to do? Just get an SD card? Is there already one in the machine?
Haven't played it yet, but after reading, I really like the update. No massive changes, but a TON of QOL stuff, and what sound to be a lot of fun light show and call-out additions

There is an SD card on the board behind the back glass. You can just pop it out and burn a new image onto it. Burning the image requires third party software on windows; on Linux it is done with "dd". I don't know about mac. There is also a method for using a USB stick to update but that has only worked for me once. The SD card method has worked without fail for me using dd in linux.

I've done dozens of updates via usb and never had an issue.

Do I still need specific software for this or do I just load the code from Stern on the USB?

Just go to Stern's code page and follow the instructions in the "read me" file
Default power is now maxed out for the main flippers? (EDIT: Previous default was set to Hard, so probably not a change)
- changed 'LEFT FLIPPER POWER' - default: 255 (min: 100 / max: 255) - removed preset SOFT / NORMAL / HARD
- changed 'RIGHT FLIPPER POWER' - default: 255 (min: 100 / max: 255) - removed preset SOFT / NORMAL / HARD
- changed 'UPPER LEFT FLIPPER POWER' - default: 190 (min: 100 / max: 255) - removed preset SOFT / NORMAL / HARD
- changed 'UPPER RIGHT FLIPPER POWER' - default: 225 (min: 100 / max: 255) - removed preset SOFT / NORMAL / HARD
My .spk file has numbers after it. Is that right?
iron_maiden_pro-1_08_0.spk.002.000
My 1.06 file just had the .spk
First game. Crushed Mummy first time which I never do. Missed the Trooper card, had super jackpot lit. Had 2 balls locked to try it again to battle the beast and botched it. I almost always get the Trooper card first try. So close to 666 million. Lots of new animations and cal outs. Light show seems improved.
20201222_213808 (resized).jpgTerrific update! The new Icarus / revive animations are KILLER. STERN...keep going! The animation is one of the few thing lacking on this title. ( specifically update the ball save animation and the trooper ball lock animation.)
Please, if I could have ONE thing changed on this game..
CHANGE THAT BORING FONT!!!!!
ITS AWFUL.... Using the Iron Maiden font instead of the crummy MS DOS font is kind of a no brainer eh?

Yes.

Apologies, I perceived this to mean "can i check out the new code if I update my original SD card, but go back to my modified SD card to have the version of the game with the custom music (without the new code)". Listen to djreddog.
Can someone please share their trough eject and plunger power settings? The code update put everything back to stock settings.
Yes, the software will wipe your scores.
But can we still save the high scores table and custom settings via the backup option in settings, then update, then reimport the settings/High scores back?
I updated 3 pins tonight, Star Wars, Iron Maiden and Stranger Things. Stranger Things was the only one to keep my high scores. Not sure why.
RE: Saving scores. This is a newer feature Stern added to code. Thus Stranger Things saved them. Check the read me file for the IMDN, it states that this update will wipe all scores and audits, but all future updates will preserve them.
Is there possibly more Elwin on Fear of the Dark, or did I just notice it more this time around? Either way, glad he's still in there, cracks me up.
Quoted from finnflash:I updated 3 pins tonight, Star Wars, Iron Maiden and Stranger Things. Stranger Things was the only one to keep my high scores. Not sure why.
Weird. I updated Stranger Things and Iron Maiden this month, and Stranger Things reset high scores but IMDN didn't.
This code update is GREAT. Everything I wanted (30 loops EB!) and the callouts, animations, and lightshows are a nice addition.
Merry Christmas!
Wow... great update! Way more than I was expecting. Still need to go in and tweak the audio settings a bit for my speakers. Was having too much fun playing to mess with it tonight!
lots of new detail and resolution in art throughout, new animations, lots of new call outs and audio updates, plus some gameplay scoring enhancements
a substantial remodel just in time for the winter holiday
One game up - this is first class! One of the greatest pins ever just got a lot better
Well done Stern for an excellent and timely update
Quoted from Sako-TRG:Awesome can’t wait....
I believe they sorted the pop bumper also ...
General Illumination - left pop bumper flasher now behaves as the rest of GI when not being used
I knew it was possible because X-MEN was already doing that with their Magneto flasher. Good to see they fixed it for Maiden.
Quoted from Dantesmark:Anyone able to put do a custom soundtrack for me on this new code?
$$$ message me.
