Only worthwhile thing talking about is Xavier. Thats a cool rule...DEADPOOL ROCKS......on my comic reader that is.

Thanks for posting it on a separate thread - that other one is ridiculously long.

Xavier is sweet.
Are they referring to just the speech call outs for magneto as a fix?
Or did they actually fix the two ball release problem?
I still have a lot of those (more than not)
What's odd is I didn't see that happen once on a pro just on the LE is there this problem.
Anybody have a solution?

Oh shit...time to get busy.

Thanks for the heads-up!!

Didn't even know it was released. lol

Thanks Greg.

Tom.

Wait is this a new patch today?

v1.21 sounds like a new patch today if so tonight

yeah ty for the post

I think the new code is pretty darn cool. I like the storm light show and Xavier changes. Can't wait for the big update!

I haven't had the problem even once on my pro... the lock always releases just one ball. I probably shouldn't have said that, though. Knock on wood!!!

Hope they at least fixed the magneto instant 2 ball multiball. Been waiting for that to get fixed as well as moving ramp before starting a TOPPs tourney. Wasting time with light shows instead of fixing the core problems separates Lyman from the rest of the staff there.

- Added sound effects to the outlanes.
I'm sorry, but the sound effects they added are lame. They can do better.

They added some intro sound effects/call outs to Sentenial mode as well.
I do love Xavier mode now.

No bug fixes that I'm aware of yet.

This is an amazing code update in just a short amount of time! And there is definitely more to come per Gary Stern! I just played a few games after the update and all I have to say is WOW!!

Those that moved this game early are going to regret it! YES!!

Can i have the update you got? I really like the xavier mode change.

Really glad they added the outlane sounds. Have not done the update yet to hear them, so cant comment on the actually sound call.

But I do hope they add idle flipper button VO or SFX calls!
Seriously this should be standard on every game.

Greg or anyone else.
See what happens when you go into Xavior the second time in a single game. When I got into that mode for the second time, Nightcrawlers started popping up. I hit the on on the right side and the damn ball came back SDTM. Not sure if they would have kept popping up or what.

Guys I can't get my update to load and I'm not sure why! I removed the last update off this flash drive. I moved the top switch to on, and get to the screen where it looks for the updated file but it can't find it. The file on my flash drive is called XMLE1-21.bin and is 31.7MB in size. Does all that sound right?

Awesome news.

I think the same will apply to Transformers at Xmas time after the power pack update. Hope so anyway!

10 grand by Xmas!!!

Dave.

Now that is a Christmas present. Thanks MN.....uh I mean Gary. Can't wait to cash in!!!

Csmpt
That's right. Working fine for me. On
Y Mac I download it open and unzip and the. Place on the thumb drive. I always use an empty thumb drive

crap, then I have no idea why this isn't working.

Xavier mode is cool! This game has one of the best light shows in any game to date.

Ball drain noise is pretty lame.

Weird. I deleted it and tried it again and on the 3rd attempt it worked. Whew!!!

I got a new thumb drive and made sure the file was not in a folder. Don't know if you followed these instructions yet, but if you haven't, here you go.

Make sure you flipped the dip switch #8 to on.

This is my firs

This is my first Stern with the SAM board system and I also had trouble updating my code tonight but it was the first time I ever attempted it.

Things I learned.

-Fat 32 File System

-If it does not find your jump drive, push the reset button on the board and insert the drive again when prompted.

After playing Xaviar several times the NCs act differently at times.Sometimes they will pop up back and forth every 3-4 seconds,sometimes they won't appear,and other times the right will pop up like a barrier and will not register a hit or drop until the mode is over.

Better light show than AC/DC LE's? Can't wait to get home!!

Oh hell yeah!! The added lightshows are very well done!

i cant really hear the outlane sounds .. pheonix mode i think has louder sound effect when firebird goes across screen .. sentinal mode has cool intro .. no more mutant chant .. cool so far

Ummmm NO!

Only got 1 game in, but the changes are all definite improvements. And I kinda liked the "nooooo" call out after the ball drain.

Cool, I am glad to see this game get an update. Hopefully more incremental updates will come for XMen and ACDC rather than having to wait for super packs...

Thanks for the heads up rarehero! Man I had no idea can't wait to see what they have done so far.

Frownie faces: the moving ramp leaving too early and dropping the ball and the double ball release from magneto still there; both things that were not in 1.1 and things I would think would be fixed sooner to prevent pf damage

OK, here's a change that I didn't see in the changelog:

Iceman ramp no longer moves back and forth during iceman and magneto MB modes. It moves to the left and stays put until the mode is over.

I am not sure what you consider "too early". It has to leave sometime. When you complete the mode - whatever one you're in, it moves back into place. You should know when this is.

Adjust the switch and this goes away. Rare Hero explained how a long time ago when this issue was first raised.

And I played iceman and completed it and it did not move. Stayed left the entire time.

just played quite a few games .. i can never hear the outlane sounds .. took glass off and tested them .they are there every 2nd time , very quite and not activated every time .. my switch works perfect -- just no sound on every trigger.. surely they will adjust this

Those in the know, including him I believe, said to not do his mod as it was going to be fixed in software, so I haven't futzed with it

I also have not heard any outlane sound effect.

I did make the shot twice, but normally it would have moved back and forth at least twice in the amount of time I took to make both shots. I also noticed that the left inlane insert never lit and I still was able to complete the iceman mode. I'll go play again and purposely start the mode and not finish it and see what happens.

This is what I was referring too; the ball just about out of the ramp when it starts to move, but not all the way.. I would say 90% of the time it's fine, just kind of clunky transition.. But sometimes ball bounces off edge of receiving ramp and onto pf. Adding 1 more second wait from when the entry switch triggered before ramp starts moving would fix it.

The xavier light show is only ok, but hey its a start.

I played a few games and noticed that the worst Beast quotes were gone ('something something something these are a few of my favorite things')

Was that just my luck?

I'm probably imaging these things but here goes:

1. Cyclops spinner now making more of a light show with yellow dome flasher on right side

2. I swear my Wolverine and Magneto magnets are super strong now, throwing the ball like crazy

3. Did the word "MATCH" scroll from right to left across the DMD before?

Outlane sounds definitely there, I believe there are 2 different sounds

OK just played the game twice with the following tests:

1) start iceman. Ramp moved left. Held the ball without ever making a shot. Ramp stayed left. Mode timed out and ended. Never moving from left. At end while 0 was still on the screen the ramp started moving right and mode was ended.

2) start iceman. I immediately made the iceman shot while the ramp was left. Then timed out the above. Ramp still never moved. It stayed left the entire time.

I don't know what else to try. On iceman mode, my ramp moves left and stays put. Perhaps there's something that you hit on the game that moves the ramp during this mode.

I played one game on the new code, started iceman right away, ramp moved to the right again not allowing me to complete the mode. I turned off the game.
