I mean, that's a huge issue right now. What else do you want them to do instead?

Bingo!

I’m proud to say that my GNR is bolted at home since it was released… but I must add that my GodFather stays too, I love that game too man

This is definitely on my list to try. Right now with beta 43 out I'm working on testing that.
Would be awesome if Chaka could add your settings to his master document...
Maybe if you are so inclined you could take his master document make a column and fill in the settings so he can just paste it in his? I think this is really a wonderful effort and I would get a USB stick then back up these settings so I could load them at will. Really cool concept and I'm looking forward to trying it!

I wonder if that Dirty Harry is the sample game I sold Shane ?

They do. New options in the game menu such as not stackable booster multiball option and option to enable ball save window when guitarlock releases a ball. Things are looking bright for GnR's future.

Mine was allways bolted to the floor. The legs poured in concrete after the autographs and with these updates i can barely get my hands of the flipperbuttons. This game is going nowhere except in my last will and testament. Now i gotta leave my keyboard and go play another game. Every once in a while it still kicks me in my teeth. Gotta love it!!!!!

Loving the new Beta 43 that got released yesterday and really wanna sink my theeth into it this long weekend.

I’ve never seen one there so most likely. Fun game, why did you sell it?

Is that the one with the target that blocks the building shot?

Yes, that's exactly what these changes make you want to do... this is an exciting time for this masterpiece.

I’m gonna wait till the next full code release before I revisit the game settings. There’s a lot of changes so a complete revamp of game settings (if necessary) will be in order. I notice the new code has additional game settings as well. So updating it now would probably not be useful. So meanwhile just hoping this next update is a game changer

And to this point, it will be interesting if JJP decides to make any of those new options the default.

Is there going to be a general release of these new code updates outside beta ? I am running 2.01 and machine tells me I am up to date and no new releases

Well --

If you want the beta code and understand features may be broken as well as new features added, you need to go into settings and enable beta releases.

And yes, there should be a general release of the new code once the beta testing is complete, this is one method used in software release management.

Yeah. Hopefully they populate the templates this time around. Last time I checked they were all blank And if we’re lucky, they will give us the ability to save a couple of our own cystom game settings

That would be AMAZING to be able to save game settings as presets, 1-5 for example, give them a name, and save them so that we could recall them through the menu.

Any estimate on when the new code is expected to be released to the public?

Or just let you cycle through the presets on the main attract mode screen using the flipper buttons and action button, like adjusting bluetooth, etc is now. Would make changing profiles for parties/guests/whatever and changing back a breeze.

Quarter two is what I’ve heard.

Hi all - I’m on beta 41
When I go to software update, no sign of beta 43, bit offers 2.01?

Has anybody had this and thoughts on getting the new download?

Thanks

Your setting are probably reset, which occurs sometimes on the beta.
Check if you need enroll in beta again.
This has happened to a few.

Legend thanks mate will check when I get home thank you

It was a long time ago and just didn’t click for me. Beautiful game, great theme. Love the cab art.

I had to do a full install and now it’s not recognizing the usb WiFi.

The system won’t allow me to select the WiFi option in settings.

Any ideas?

I assume you have reinserted the usb WiFi dongle to check connection? Maybe track it’s wire as well

How many times did you reboot?
I've had instances where the Wi-Fi doesn't come up properly and if I reboot it comes up the next time

I have several times. The WiFi adapter is blinking green so I’d assume it’s plugged in and getting power.

This has been going on for a couple of weeks since I did the full reinstall. Game has been turned off and on countless times.

I’ve tried on my own to figure this out to no avail so I’m hoping someone on here can help.

Well you have to accept the terms and conditions below wifi setup before you can get WiFi to work.

Thanks for the ideas and help. Hopefully this helps someone else out in the future.

Ah yes, a full install will often (always?) make you accept the t&c again... Doh. I knew that. Glad you got it.

Glad you figured it out

Little beta teaser...info screen addition.

Ok since you asked, one more...

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

I love negative achievements. They are hilarious to me, and I think are very relatable to anyone who has lost a big bonus or whatever. Glad to see JJP is adding some.

I’m on the latest beta and have started seeing that within the first couple of minutes of the first game the optical sensors in the shooter lane stops working. Anyone else seeing this? If not, probably time again to lift the playfield and reseat all cables.

Haven't noticed anything unusual with the optos in this or the last few betas I've been part of.

Remove the board and clean the areas with a qtip from underneath.

Then, make sure the small usb connector to the control board is securely in.

I was having issues with my game losing track of balls. Turned out to be the main "molex" plug (left side of pic) that feeds the trough boards. Just unplugged it, re seated it. Boom. No more issues

Mine has been a bit of pain for me the last few months itself. Thinking of dropping a dab of silicone on the outside of connection to lock them together better

I switched the usb plugs on the motherboard and mine have been rock solid since. Don't know if there was a loose connection or the usb's just got reassigned, but it worked for me

Hey guys!

I’m looking at joining the club soon. I have a FaceTime call lined up with a seller tonight.

What areas of the playfield should I be looking for in terms of looking or chipping? I remember see posts about GnR playfield issues a while back.

Anything else I should be looking for?
It is a LE number in the 600s if that means anything.

Thanks!

Richard

Welcome to the club soon. I would make sure the spot lights and Axl magnet are working. Also check the diverter is working properly. Maybe check how many plays it has on it.

Good luck

While I wish could avoid bring up old trauma, I'd specifically ask if the playfield has any issues. The original ones up to some point caused some commotion.

Oh, the LE number is meaningless. The manufactured date (on the back) may give insight into the item I mentioned. Others that lived though it probably have details, I got in after all that.

Ideally, you want a playfield from August 2021 or later (manufacture date is on the back of the machine, and inside to the left of the coin door on the left cab wall). Those are the least likely to have chipping and sagging issues. If it's before that, I would ask if they have a spare playfield as those were offered for half price as a backup for affected customers (everyone pre-Aug 2021, essentially).

If it's in the pre-Aug 2021 range, the best place to look for wrinkled/chipped clear is in the pop bumper area by any stationary post. Also the in/outlanes by the slings are common places to have wrinkling/sagging of the clear or chipping. A new playfield is $1000, so look for chipping carefully.

Working spotlights are nice to know, but they will break on you, too, so not a deal breaker if they're not all working. Figure $75-100 for all of them plus your time on top to get the better brackets and all new servos if they aren't working.

Axl magnet also gets blown out and stops working. If it's dead, you just need to put a new thermal switch on it, but it's still a hassle.

If the flippers, diverter, and magnet have not had active cooling added, examine all of them for swelling on the coils. GnR coils run very hot if not actively cooled, and that excessive heat over a long time causes coils to swell.

Thanks guys!

Dec 2020 is the build date, zooming in on the pics I don’t see any playfield issues.

I will ask for number of plays. I think it is low. Maybe that is why the pooling is not there? Or does it pool just by the pressure of the posts?

Thanks!

Obviously there's variation, but I just looked and mine is from August 2021 and it's perfect.

Here are some more pics he just sent.
Looking good to me.
It has 112 games played.

Thanks so much guys for your time on this!

That number cannot be trusted with JJP games because it can be reset.
Judge based on the condition you see, not the number of plays -- generally the best approach IMHO.

Art adhesion to the wood is one of the main issues (a Mirco special!), and you won't really know until you start taking hardware off the PF and find out that the art comes with them. It can look fine overall and still be affected. ALL the ones pre Aug 2021 are suspect.

Edit: My bad. It was Aug 2021, not 2022. Fixed the references, including this one.
