Hey everyone, not sure I introduced myself but I acquired a JP prem a little over 2 months ago and just getting around to posting it on here. Been modding it ever since and can't get enough of it! Here is what I have so far:

Green superbands
Mezel mod trees
The art of pinball signs
3d printed flipper toppers and rails
pterodactyl mod
green sleeve posts
3d amber blinkers for raptor cage
lockdown bar plaque
barbasol mod (not pictured, waiting on replacement)

I've got more on the way, I just can't get enough on modding it, haha

Yeah, it's super fun to play JP with all the mods. I get super into it

mezelmods.com, I got the tree pack with the green sleeves mod and the fan trees. I didn't end up using all the trees either.

I just noticed a weird issue on mine tonight, the raptor fence seems to be going lower than it used to causing a ball to get stuck.

Is there an adjustment like the bias for the t-rex? If so, where is it at?

I'm assuming that's on the bottom of the gate under the playfield?

None, I've done this with the latest code and the older code. I just swap back and forth if I want to

sent you a PM, I don't have a 3d printer but had some questions.

I'll take it, I'll send you a PM.

Just a word of caution for those wanting the movie code still with code ver. 1.07

IIRC the original movie code was on ver. 1.03 (no stern connect) then later there was a request to have it compatible with stern connect when ver. 1.05 came out. There isn't a newer version past that from what I know.

I have seen both of these versions floating out there but be aware that your the stern node board may or may not be compatible with older code since the node board part change. I have read others trying to revert back to older code with the new node boards and bricked them.

If you are going to use the movie code and your JP came with 1.07 (2022 or new build), the node boards are likely going to be the newer type that isn't compatible with older code. There was a service bulletin about this in the link below.

In summary, If you're going to use the older movie code, check your node board you have first before making your pin a 9k paperweight.

You are one of the lucky people that have old node board type then, then it doesnt' apply to you. The issue is that sometime after they changed to the newer node type, the firmware completely changed too.

There are a few pages floating around about people trying to go back to an old version of code with other pins besides JP that have completely bricked their machine.

There's a 1.05 available, message the guy that made it I'm sure he'll share it to ya.

Thanks for details, this is exactly what I was trying to explain. The movie code really is just a modified stock gamecode w/ different sounds and images from pinball browser. When someone is trying to flash their JP to any older code version than what it came from in 2022 with the new node boards, that causes the bricking issue if they aren't watching for it.

Anyway, I hope this finds people at caution I'm trying to use the "movie code".

Lol, I literally have both versions.. how do you think I knew about it?

What part is confusing? The bulletin says they moved over to a differnet board type, why would they move back to a legacy model when it's superseeded by a replacement?

Likely the change is due to chip manufacturing issues during covid and chips that are no longer made and/or this new chip type is cheaper than the older one.
