Indeed, nice place for a mini mod perhaps

thank you for the pics!! Much appreciated

Has anyone figured out how to adjust the T-Rex to keep it from hitting the left fence post? I've searched and searched and haven't found an answer and I've tried messing around with all of the bias adjustments, but haven't been able to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just had the reset issue where you are in multiball and (proudly!) hit the smart missile shot. Game shut down and reset. I was very sad. Hopefully Stern can figure out this issue.
Stellar game. One of the best in YEARS!

Are you going to make it available? We're eagerly awaiting this.

I think my left bias is -6 which made a difference.

After playing another few hours with the new code, I also had one reset occur with the smart missile during multiball. Sound and shaker both seem fine.
Hope this bug gets picked up in Stern’s next code update.
Did reach the T-Rex mini wizard mode Museum Mayhem, was a pretty cool mode.

Yes! This happened to me once. It kept doing it on new games until I power cycled.

Caught up in Christmas decorations - wife and kids wanted to do them today. Might be tonight if not tomorrow.... But prob tonight

I worked on the left orbit exit today and got it adjusted so right orbit shots exiting out left don’t hit the truck anymore. Took a bit of pushing but I got it done without removing anything. I loosened the nut for the screw at the end of the ball guide, then I snipped a fiber washer so I could sneak it under the guide and around the screw. That way when I cranked the nut back down the ball guide wouldn’t be cutting into the playfield (pictures below). Then I lifted the playfield vertical and got my son to help. I was on the right side of the machine reaching in to push really hard against the end of the guide with the end of a small pair of pliers. When I got it pushed in as far as I thought I could I had him tighten the nut down. The end of the ball guide was only a fraction of an inch closer to the edge of the supply drop target, but it made all the difference. Here’s the washer I used:

not unless you are sharing it!

Since I haven't even turned it on yet, I will just input the settings after I update the code. Thank you.

Did you test the TRex in the diagnostic? Switch 68 works?

@sk8ball: Ran into the same bug as everyone else is here with respect to the Hard Reset with a made Missile shot, however mine was during T-Rex Multi-ball with 3 balls active, unlike others who experienced it with Raptor. Playfield lights (GI & inserts go out), then the flippers die a second later as well as the LCD. Then it reboots...

Also can confirm the Backbox speakers on mine keep setting itself to 4 ohms with every power down......

I know this is dumb, but out of an abundance of caution, remove the rubber band on the jeep, correct? It was just for shipping? Thank you in advance.

Correct!

Updated my code for .95. Again, this is very light but fixes IMO some of the worst speech and includes a proper welcome to JP amongst other things.

btw - no issues with updating to the newest code.

Thank you! Playing the maiden game now with my 6-year-old twins!

Hi everyone;

I searched through several pages of this post, didn't find any reference to this, apologies if I missed it. I'm guessing this isn't happening to just me.

After updating to the newest software, I now have an issue where when T-Rex Multiball starts, the second ball doesn't actually kick off. When the ball in play drains, you have to wait for the ball find to cycle and then the two balls kick out.

Anyone else? I feel like this wasn't happening before update, but I only had it for a couple of days prior.

Could be software related, but my first thought would be to check the connectors to the ball trough. Unplug and plug them back in tightly.

Any YouTube footage of gameplay with your handy work? Would be very interested to see it.

This is my first Spike game. I assume I can still attach an external sub to the cabinet sub with alligator clips?

Sure. High-level inputs to the sub are not going to be as clean as line level, but it will "work". Pinovators sells a board that gives clean line level output from the backbox.

Thank you.

The three screws that hold the plastic on the bottom jaw of the trex fell out. Anyone have an easy way to screw these back in without removing the trex head?

Thanks -- Tried that, still does the same thing -- again, only for Trex Multiball, all other Multiballs initiate appropriately.

Hi All, seeking some help. I have downloaded the update, unzipped to PC, formatted a USB drive as FAT32, and copied just the two .spk files to the root of the zip drive. I put the USB in CN9 on the board in the back cabinet, and I get the option to install the update when I turn on my premium. Here's where my problem seems to start, I hit select, the screen flashes "Insert USB" or whatever the message is, then right back to the "Press select to update, press Volume +/- to change, press back to exit"

I seem to be stuck in an endless loop. If anyone knows what I might be doing wrong, I'm all ears . Thanks in advance!

I've tried two different USB sticks btw as well, same problem.

Yep, had this happen twice today. With some great T-Rex multiball jackpot values going. Irritating but the game is just so good. Frustrating as sh*t and times but so much fun.

Does anyone have the right ramp shot register even when it doesn’t make it all the way up the ramp? It seems to be more on a hard hit shot that rattles back and forth on ramp and then rolls back out. I went into switch test and manually tapped on the ramp in various ways to see if the switch would register, but it wouldn’t. Maybe the ball rattles it in a way that the gate at the top moves enough to trigger the switch? I guess I should try gapping the switch a bit more?

Germany says hello to Premium.

Some mods installed.

No issues out of box.

T-Rex eats balls about 90% .

Have you checked the optos on the trough? Sounds like what can happen when one of the trough optos isn’t working. Might be worth checking.

yes me too,

When I hit the missile target only

Hello,

I am number 295 of France.

I've seen that 3 or 4 times. Not enough that I've worried to check it out. I assumed impact vibration was perfect to cause the switch to bounce up there on top of the ramp.

Here's one I've not seen mentioned. Maybe you guys don't tilt as much as I do . Sometimes when you tilt it will hang on the tilt screen for around 15 seconds, before finally proceeding. Anyone else seen this?

Yes. A few times.

Yeah, that happened a couple times and I couldn't figure it out. My assumption was similar to yours. Thought maybe the ramp exit switch was gapped so tightly that a hard miss could trigger it, but I couldn't reproduce it in switch test by tapping/banging on the ramp.

Yup. And not on a super hard tilt where the bob would need extra time to settle down. Just seems to happen randomly.

Mine does that too. I think switch 68 is possibly used for a default centering location, but it's not necessarily the spot where the TRex head needs to fit on the ramp. The fine tuning is up to software timing which is adjustable with those bias settings. When my game was unboxed, the TRex was not working at all. My friend adjusted one of the switches and it's been working ever since.

Iron Maiden had similar issues where a ball drain would be followed by a long delay before the bonus countdown began.

Rob

Yep, IMDN does this as well, but not nearly as bad as initial Munsters code. You could literally go out for Pizza and when you came back the Tilt Screen was still up on the LCD.....

Hey, Keith! The ohm-setting-change-y thingy actually works...BUT...my machine keeps going back to the awful-sounding 4-ohm setting that it went to after the update. Is that a bug in the new code, or is my machine borked? I'm REALLY big into sound, so this is bumming me out.

If anybody else knows how to make the 8-ohm setting stick, please clue me in. Thanks!

Mine also keeps going back to 4 ohm after powering down.

If you look at the release notes that's what they intend it to do. The LE has 4 ohm speakers (upgraded sound). I've had good luck at also setting the cabinet to 4 ohm (It is in fact 4 ohms) and then just raising the main volume up to get the same levels as when it was incorrectly driving the 4 ohm speakers as if they are 8 ohm. Tweak the bass and trebble a bit and you can get it sounding very close to how it was at 8 ohm settings, but now actually driving your speakers correctly.

So about three weeks in of the super truck swap to the real JP Jeep and it's been great. Trick for me to get the weight perfect (just like original) was two normal screws in the front (taken from original car) and 1 longer screw back left. No screw in the right. Weight distributed much better and looks great. Very happy.

Thanks for that! BUT...this didn't happen before the update. The sound was fantastic. Now? Not so much. It has me thinking I should maybe take advantage of some Black Friday deals and upgrade the "upgraded" speakers.

Thanks, I didn't realize that. I'll play around with it a bit.
