Yep, still got mine and still loving it. It’s got style AND substance. Buckets of it. A lot of us bitch about the code but really all it needs is making the Slash Solo stackable/worth the risk and maybe some score balancing. If I was you I’d just enjoy the settings as is and maybe have a tweak to suit you down the line.Evening all, will soon be in the position on g'n'r LE (with precision flippers fitted - I understand that can make a good difference with the flippers)
Was wondering if there are any settings I should change straight away in game settings to have a good balance of fun/challenge?
Will take another look at the adjustments in one of the other pages in this thread again, but more thinking along the line of initial must change settings.
Cheers!
P.s any original gnr owners still have their machines, or? ; I know some on pinside say gnr is all style over substance, but others say there's a great game in there (I've only played one briefly before, which excites me, as a nice change from mostly having Stern games at home before)

Ah yeah, I saw that and looked online ; cheapest I found was £100+postage (from a site I'd never heard of) which I thought was a bit steep for a red light? (Even if it does kind of throb, for want of a better word ;-))Oh, get rid of that bright yellow start light too.

Yeah, I was thinking the same ref price for LED but it’s got the lamp controller for pulse.Ah yeah, I saw that and looked online ; cheapest I found was £100+postage (from a site I'd never heard of) which I thought was a bit steep for a red light?

I noticed on superskillshot.com (safe to order from?) that they offer the controller for an extra £8 or something; so you need that, otherwise the light is juat a static red?Yeah, I was thinking the same ref price for LED but it’s got the lamp controller for pulse.
It’s pure Terminator 2 so had to have it.
Cheers, Yeah I saw a lot of discussion on that; I'll see how I get on as is firstGet the caps done :=

Anyone in the UK fancy doing this for my GNR and DI for the appropriate level of beer tokens ? I'm not up for giving it a go myselfGet the caps done :=

Half a star post makes a good spacer ( from pinside ). I'm thinking of doing this to my Dialed in although I've always thought the flippers on it are fine but if they can be made better for little cost why not?
Yep, that’s where I got my one from including controller.I noticed on superskillshot.com (safe to order from?) that they offer the controller for an extra £8 or something; so you need that, otherwise the light is juat a static red?
Neither Paul and I have the machine or a board to test with, that is my barrier to helping. We could probably work out what working looks like and test for that but it is always better to know it works under load in the required machine.Anyone in the UK fancy doing this for my GNR and DI for the appropriate level of beer tokens ?

Is the magnet working above the top lanes? It should occasionally grab the ball and drop it through the centre lane. It's pretty common for the thermal switch on the magnet coil to break and stop the magnet working. I had to replace the magnet coil when I received mine.My LE arrived yesterday and so thought I'd give some initial impressions after putting about 20 plays (or less) on so far.
Have to mention first how beautiful the powder coat is on the legs/lockdown ; well impressed!
Great feature having volume control button outside (headphone capability too is a great thing to have as factory standard)
Flippers on my game are precision flippers with fans fitted - feel different than Stern, but are certainly strong enough for all shots
First few games I found the shots a bit clunky if not hit dead on, and the multiballs a nuisance.
As I've played more though, got used to the shots and learned to take a quick glance at the mini screen to know what I'm aiming for, it's becoming very addictive. Haven't been able to nail the long extra ball shot though the spinning record/pops though (though I think if you go through the centre rollover via an orbit shot or whatever, it still collects the extra ball?
Really like the break down the wall mode; hitting the spinning disc then action button feels fresh (also sounds like JJP either used a live Civil solo for that mode, or Slash came in and jammed a bit - pretty cool)
Haven't managed to defeat the dirty robot yet in thirst for carnage, but enjoy it - again, strangely satisfying hitting the action button.
Didn't think I'd be overly impressed with the light show, but love some of the colours/choreography for some of the songs ; when it's all happening, really immersive (thought they'd be operated) - one tune's lighting even reminded me a bit of Stanger Things' upside down world; almost looked light it utilised a black light. Excited to check out all the tunes.
When you start being able to hit your shots and start hitting combos, like left orbit to hitting centre loop with upper flipper the flow is really nice (have to be pretty accurite though, as otherwise can hit rattley shots.
I find during songs, you almost have to ignore the other balls in play, or more often than not, bat a ball away and then focus your next shot on what you are aiming for; otherwise you are just flailing and not progressing the song effectively.
Song mode reminds me of CII modes in Metallica (but with ball saves/add a balls), but not as intense (yet..) - satisfying cashing out with a big song jackpot though - as time passes, I cam see me aiming to see I can get through a whole without cashing out.
Few questions;
Am I correct in saying that if you cash out in song mode, although the flippers go dead and you drain, you are still on the same ball when you resume your game from the ball trough?
If you get booed off stage* do you lose that ball when the flippers go dead?
*happened during civil war; it was saying hit the blue shots, but couldn't see any blue shots lit; WTF?)
How do you activate COMA for whh you all drains via the left outlane?; do you need to have that patch selected/collected, or is there another way?
Is it normal for a message in the lower left of the screen to come up "calibrating sensors" after every game?
Haven't set yo WiFi yet, but running latest beta code (from Decmeber?); is it normal for a bunch of bootup text etc to come up when booting? (Som of the text looked like errors etc, but then booted in to game no problem?
Anyone know the setting to turn off the knocked (I'm assuming it's a physical one and can't juat turn the volume down like a software based knocker.
Yeah it's working every time; pretty cool.Is the magnet working above the top lanes? It should occasionally grab the ball and drop it through the centre lane.

There is a stand up directly opposite the upper right flipper hit it multiple times to light coma.How do you activate COMA for whh you all drains via the left outlane?; do you need to have that patch selected/collected, or is there another way?
That's correct and if you get booed off stage you'll loose a ballAm I correct in saying that if you cash out in song mode, although the flippers go dead and you drain, you are still on the same ball when you resume your game from the ball trough?
I found the patches ruined the game for me. Once I realised how useful they were I spent most of my time trying to get the sets of patches I wanted, often cradling and pounding on the button to get there. So many games ended with me achieving very little cos I spend the whole time chasing patches. I enjoyed the game more before I learned how the patches worked.There is a sponsor patch set, if you collect them all you'll light extra ball, e.g Gibson Marshall,...
Yeah I saw that - didn't do too well in that modeThe Chinese Democracy album mode is also fun, the first time you reach this mode you'll be like WTF
That's a decent score IMO. I have a never cash out policy therefore I'll drop a few million here and there.think my highest score is about 15 million, which I guess isn't much
