Quoted from jsa:Scorbit works on both beta and release.
Thanks for the heads up. Not really a scorbit user but I thought it was restricted for beta build 4 since the scoring was so different. Good to know

I recall that in the beta group they asked us not to post scores on Beta 4 thru Scorbit since the scoring was drastically different.

Ah that's probably what I was remembering, thanks for the clarification.
Quoted from chewiec:Just got my Wonkavision scoop cliffy's. Figured I would ask before I install, is there any trick to removing or putting down the Wonkavision LCD? Thanks!
I have that too but havent installed it. Do you really have to remove the Wonkavision LCD?? Im surprised by that.
Quoted from chewiec:It is located under/behind it and I know I won't be able to get in there without removing or at least undoing it to be able to reach the scoop. I am all ears if there is a different way to not remove the Wonkavision LCD.
I thought it was a little in front of it and that you could just remove some plastic and posts to get there. Havent given it a good look.
I know others in the past have mentioned to be super careful with that LCD, so if you do have to remove it, that cliffy might just never go on.
Interested in this as well!
Quoted from chewiec:Definitely agree with you Rager. If anyone has loaded the Wonka Scoop from Cliffy, would you mind chiming in and let us know what was your method?
Quoted from Ambro:Only two gold tickets - nearly three but the gob stopper was only 4X and needed one more… how the h3ll does anyone get pure imagination is beyond me… but I'll keep on trying as this game is the ultimate keeper!!!
[quoted image]
Get the latest beta code and you'll get to pure imagination for sure! The code was heavily rebalanced. Who knows if it will stay for actual release but a lot of people really like it.
Quoted from Vitty:On new beta code I finally got more than 2 golden tickets. Actually managed 4 but was only able to play the first two mini wizards before draining. The only one I was missing was the Wonkavator ticket. This is such a great game![quoted image]
Completely off topic, but the picture that you had taken looks good. Mine ALWAYS shows me looking far down...
Does anyone know if you can adjust the camera angle? Im not super tall, 6'1"..

Are you looking at the fake camera on the playfield? Look at the real one at the bottom of the backglass 
Quoted from frobozz:Are you looking at the fake camera on the playfield? Look at the real one at the bottom of the backglass
Im not "looking" at either when it takes a picture. Im simply playing the game and focusing on the playfield, which all of us look down at.
Unless that picture I mentioned was "posed" for?
Basically, Just curious if anyone has tried to adjust the camera (the real camera in the backglass haha)
Quoted from Rager170:Basically, Just curious if anyone has tried to adjust the camera (the real camera in the backglass haha)
In Tests - Devices - Camera you can do some adjusting.
LTG : )
I've never adjusted the camera in any way, but I do like to look into the camera (and usually make funny faces/poses) when hitting "end" with the start button after entering my name/initials. My friends and family do the same. It makes for a fun leaderboard gallery

My camera works fine EXCEPT during Oompa Loompa odyssey during which it focuses on my chest and not my head. I’ve looked for adjustments in the menu but no luck. I can get it to track my face in settings no problem. Until you’re in a game and hit Oompa Loompa odyssey then it just loves to focus on my shirt. So weird.

Some newer version of Wonka code tries to suss out how tall you are when going into this mode. Make sure you're on the latest version and see if this is still having that issue.

Ahh, I forgot that it can take a picture at the end as well. It seems random to me though as it doesnt always do it.
I feel like more often than not, it is using the picture from when playing the game hitting the camera ramp.. and when it uses that photo, im always looking down because I am playing.

At the end, put in your initials, but do NOT select end. Depending on your lighting, lean in (if low lighting) and smile or make a face at the camera in the backglass below the giant LCD/LED screen. Be posed for at least two seconds and then press the start button to select End and it will get a good picture. Works for me everytime.

Mine does the same thing. It's gotta be a coding issue.

Oh wow, awesome tip! I will definitely give this a try. Thanks!!

Also, if you have glasses and/or a beard it has trouble recognizing where your face is. Shave and wear contacts instead lol.
You can go into the camera settings to see it trying to recognize your face with an outline box, but I can't remember if you can change the sensitivity or not.

I often do wear my glasses becuase playing pinball with contacts is hard.. Eyes get dry quick...
Ill play around with some settings.. But I definitely didn't know that the camera will search for your face anytime you enter your initials...
Quoted from Gogdog:I don't really get the point of the after game pictures.....they don't show up in the attract mode like they do in DI. So you really only see it for a few seconds.
If you make the leaderboard, the picture you take after you enter your initials shows up in the attract mode during the gallery of high scores.
Quoted from Gogdog:I don't really get the point of the after game pictures.....they don't show up in the attract mode like they do in DI. So you really only see it for a few seconds.
As mentioned by others, it will certainly come up in attract mode. Also, I believe if you press the left flipper button 2 or 3 times during attract mode, it will cycle to the pictures scoreboard.

I’m running the beta code now and it does it. Prior to the beta I was on the latest code and it still videos my chest during Oompa Loompa odyssey. The code version before that worked fine.
I’m thinking it’s a code deal.
It recognizes my face just fine when in settings mode. It only started this with the. Last two code changes.

wow! Was that beta code?
Quoted from SBrothers:wow! Was that beta code?
I sure as hell hope so! I’m on 1.37. Can I upgrade to betas from it?
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:I sure as hell hope so! I’m on 1.37. Can I upgrade to betas from it?
Yes, you need to have a wifi adapter to enroll into rhe beta and upgrade.
Quoted from chillme:Yes, you need to have a wifi adapter to enroll into rhe beta and upgrade.
Simply opt in for beta updates from the advanced settings menu. Anyone can do this now.
Quoted from chillme:Yes, you need to have a wifi adapter to enroll into rhe beta and upgrade.
I bought the three WiFi/USB items Lloyd recommended. Just need to find the post on how to use them to do updates.
Quoted from SBrothers:wow! Was that beta code?
Yes. Bear in mind Paul is a world class tournament player.

Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:Just need to find the post on how to use them to do updates.
Plug the WiFi dongle into the USB cable by the cashbox. Or plug the Wifi and Bluetooth dongles into the hub and then plug the hub into the USB cable by the cashbox.
Do a full install of the latest software, 1.38. Then go into Utilities - Network Settings - then do all the stuff the screen says. Terms and conditions. Pick the WiFi channel you'll use. Enter your password. Connect to WiFi.

Ahhh…that explains his world class score then!
I recently loaded the beta and have only hit 15M so far. I know I will do better.
Good to know that 81M is at least humanly possible. Perhaps not this human, but a human nonetheless!

Thx Lloyd. To be clear, I can update to 1.38 (from 1.37) over wi-if? This actually requires a “full update”?
Quoted from TheFamilyArcade:To be clear, I can update to 1.38 (from 1.37) over wi-if?
If network settings is in 1.37, then yes. Check your game. Then do the network settings stuff.
If not, then you need to do a full install of 1.38 using a USB stick.

Quoted from RDReynolds:Yay! Just got one and already love it. So fun! What are the absolute MUST mods for it?

Congrats! It's a super fun game for sure!
Your question is a bit subjective, but I did a bunch of mods and made a series of videos, if it helps you at all.

Welcome to the club!
The only must is adding some lighting. Game is too dark. I added 3 spotlights and made the game much more enjoyable.
#1 to me is shaker (SE?) #2 is lighting the back area with light strip or I think mezel mod and #3 is lighting up the back glass again I think mezel mod kit
