Thanks for the link, but I'm OK on roms-those are definitely backed up, but it's some of the miscellaneous configs etc that I need to find where I have saved (or recreate them). I'm also not a hyperspin fan. It's flashy, but every time I've used it, it seems way harder to just find what you're...

Don't think a Linux box would make a difference-it's not even showing up in the BIOS, and the drive isn't spinning at all, so it's likely just dead. It is an old hard drive after all, and I've seen them fail much sooner, so it really was just a matter of time. In any case, started over with...

Yeah, I'd seen the freezer trick online, as well as a suggestion to put it in a warm oven for 10 mins. The oven I get because it could reflow some solder-there was a similar trick back with the original Xbox 360s and wrapping them in a towel to overheat internally-but the freezer seemed...

So the main IDE HDD in my MAME bit the dust, and I can't seem to get it to work anymore. I'd like to at least be able to clone it to a new drive, but it won't even come up in the BIOS. I think it's the power, since it doesn't spin at all, but nothing I've tried so far has worked. I've...

Glad you managed to find a set-I'm always amazed at the stuff that pinball people have lying around :)

So no fix for the kickback missing the ball, but some interesting changes so far. The mode scoring seems to be way more valuable, especially if you get a couple of map completions in, and have some of the "feeder" modes finished. Personally, I haven't changed my mode approach much, since I'm...

I installed this last night, but didn't really have a chance to try it out. I'm still hoping to see a fix for kickback failure compensation, and some indication on screen for mode balls locked, but those are fairly minor. That map bonus sounds interesting though-all of a sudden it's more...

Interesting-I thought that was just the order cutoff time. Given the post-release revisions on the last games, I might actually want to wait a few months into production to get a game. I'm glad I have the new wireform and ramp flaps on my hobbit.

Thanks for the hands on. Did you go to the "deep dive" session as well? I did read that they were projecting Q2 next year for a release, but it also didn't sound like they'd done a great job of justifying why the CE was 3500 more than the LE (which isn't really limited, but that's fine)...

So apparently there will be a Standard Edition of the game, but other than stainless armor, no idea what the changes are. Still, 9K US translates to over 13K CDN landed, so ANY of these new games are going to have to be fantastic to be worth that much. 12.5K "Collector's edition"... $18500...

Just playing devil's advocate-the license to produce Metallica is almost up (if it isn't already), but they should be running Ghostbusters for longer. Either way though, NIB is going to be expensive.

Just launched-a Kickstarter project for a 30th Anniversary Stern Book: Looks like it could be a cool project.

So Jpop brought empty cabinets, so these guys brought playfields without cabinets?

I think that "Einstein Theater" thing in the middle has a pepper's ghost style thing in it.

LCD.

Those pics are much better-thanks. I like the nod to the Wizard Blocks inserts on the PF. Game looks neat, but I think that phone sound is going to get really annoying.

The JJP3 reveal was at the expo seminar last night. Game is called Dialed In: They did a Periscope stream from the event (quality is pretty bad, but it's something) and it looks like the archive is up here: https://www.periscope.tv/jackjjp/1ypKdAVngdYGW Looks like 2 editions: LE-9000...

That screen isn't quite what I expected-figured it'd keep the same ratio as the DMD (or close) similar to what Lebowski did. Looks like a stock panel though, which in the long run makes sense. Looking forward to seeing how it plays. You can definitely see the common DNA with BDK though. Not...

So for that show, the biggest issue was getting games to and from the venue (as is usually the issue with getting games anywhere else). I've lent games out for a couple of events (including that show), and it's always been a problem finding help to move a game back home afterwards. Something...

WWE at 5300, plus 10% premium, plus HST... Why do I get the feeling that this will end up costing someone MORE than they would have paid had they walked into playdium 2 weeks ago?
