One of the things I love about it: our guests have no problem figuring this game out. And, despite the simplicity, it is still fun.

Quoted from Fulltilt:

As Oldskool mentioned. Windows format the USB. (I never could get Mac to work with it).
Follow the readme file on updating. It should work.

I found this works for using Mac to format a USB stick. I used this successfully for a JJP update. I believe it will also work for Stern. Note that these instructions assume you're comfortable with the command line; if you're not, better stick to Windows.

- Open Terminal.app
- diskutil list to find what disk the usb stick is mounted as (ie: disk2)
- sudo diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 FAT-32-DISK MBRFormat /dev/disk2

Real knockers are more fun.
Thanks pinballlife for making this happen.

If you can find a set from a parted out game, and refurb them yourself, it'll be a lot cheaper.

Power supply fan: Yeah, loud. I'm looking at some of the other spike game threads about the fan and considering swapping mine.

Also, the spike knocker kit works great.

I put in all warm whites on mine. Mostly easy, except in the pop bumpers. Those were a b****.

People are starting to realize that simple games can be fun too.

I put in Gottlieb chimes.. does that count? There are three outputs you can tie into. Plus the knocker.

I'm pretty biased, I know, but:

Pin Gulps from Pinball Life are also good, if your friends have a bad tendency to put drinks on the glass.

The chimes fire based on scoring. I can’t imagine the shaker attached to that would be satisfying.
