Quoted from Ollulanus:I positively love Shot X too, really cool design. Still trying to figure out how to hit it consistently. Love the TNT mini multiball, and how it's fairly easy to get going and can be stacked anywhere. Modes are great too - remind me of Scooby, but this layout and theme are way more my speed.
I'm waiting to be proved wrong, but I don't think you will ever have Shot X completely dialed in. It's always going to be a challenging shot, but it's rewarded appropriately. I haven't talked much about the TNT Add-A-Ball, but I'm glad you are enjoying it. We are treating it like an old school add-a-ball, meaning you can actually start modes while the add-a-ball is in play. It really can be stacked with everything, but will become progressively more difficult to start...so use it wisely.
PS: The next mode coming will probably be the best to stack with it.
I hope everyone is enjoying all the classical music in the games. For better or worse, I think many were introduced to classical music through these cartoons, so it was very important to us that we feature them in the machine. We've tried to feature 'classical' music in each of the episodes and more 'jazz' music in multiballs. Sorry, not sorry, but this is "another music pin".

Quoted from Ollulanus:I agree, but I'm seeing a fair number of clean hard shots to those back ramps reject. I'm pretty sure it's the solid, hard clean ones either catching air and bouncing off the roof plastic, or maybe nailing the back wall and rejecting rather than curving around. Less if it with a better feel for where to hit, but any time a clean solid shot gets knocked back at you it's rightly frustrating (here's looking at you, f'ing Zeppelin cross ramp).
And what I'll say is that when you get to know a game, you auto compensate for much of that, so it really doesn't surprise me bug can wail away. It's absolutely something that'll make people walking up call it clunky though. And I'm guessing some adjustments can be made to help. I'm going to play it a bit more before I start tinkering, but I wouldn't be surprised if the suggestion to shim those ramps a couple mm helps - looking at them they are set low and the flap bend is very oblique,.which would lend to airballs on powerful shots. I'm going to drop the angle a bit tomorrow too; I default to steep and am probably at 7 or so right now, appreciate the suggestion to bring that down.

You should definitely play around with your pitch before you start shimming ramps. That's not needed at all. You can also make sure your ramp flaps aren't a little too tight.

I absolutely love thinking of this as a Classical Music pin. Especially since the game I keep wanting to compare it to is Foo; unique shots, great flow, great soundtrack. Looney Tunes really are the original , and best, music videos when you think about it.
If foo is Dad Rock, maybe this is Great Grandad Rock?
Quoted from chriscable34:I couldn't get live to work but did do a full unboxing with some game play! Absolutely beautiful machine. Big thanks to Spooky for making a awesome game and Jason at Classic Game Rooms!
Awesome video!

I’ve seen a lot of unboxing videos over the years and this is the best I can remember. Terrific for anyone that has never done one and fun for those of us that have. I will warn you that the “lift game, kick pallet, place stool” move is nowhere near as easy in real life as Chris makes it look …
Nice camera work and great shot of the playfield without the glass. A couple things weren’t included for time - also check connections under the playfield and make sure code is updated to the latest level. I’m going to link this video in the FAQ so it’s easy to find.
Thanks Chris! Look forward to seeing more
Thank you! I will definitely get more shots and game play footage by tomorrow. I was having a day yesterday as I left most of my camera equipment at work and had a 2 year old about to wake up from her nap at any minute.

I will definitely let you know. I only was able to get the one game on it but from that one game, I am pretty close to where it needs to be I think. I seen people talk about ramp rejection but I only had a couple and they were bad shots. Definitely surprised with some of the shots you can hit.

Quoted from SpookyBug:Hey everyone!
I have a menu tutorial for Looney Tunes here to help you utilize the games many different settings!
That's the most informative and valuable video I've seen. It may take care of most of my problems. My pin definitely improved when I lowered the slant of the machine down to 6.5 as I was at 7 like the instruction sheet says. Now my two issues are the ball not being flung into the crate and both the upper flippers getting stuck open or not firing at all. From your video It looks like I can adjust both of these issues. I'm still awaiting the bracket fix for the ball getting stuck in the drop target. May be a video for installing this bracket for those of us needing to attach it? I'm tired of taking off the glass in the middle of a game but I know you have said you will ship it soon. I was in the middle of my highest score ever and it got stuck and ruined my game THANK YOU for the video though!!!!
May be a video on the action items? How do you use them? I really don't understand them yet. Despite the problems I'm having a lot of fun my average score was around 50,000,000 but now I'm regularly getting to the 110,000,000 range so practice is working. I'm sure I have a lot more code to discover. Your code updates have really been very easy to install. Thanks again!
Having a weird intermittent issue with our game, wondering if any other owner has experienced. One of the flippers will die during game play and will not fire (does seem to very slightly pulse, but not flip). This is our second occurrence in 40 or so plays, first time was the upper right flipper (both times it was during multiplayer with my wife who thinks the game is trying to stop her from getting a high score lol).
It will resolve itself with a restart of the game and does not seem repeatable through normal game-play, just happens.

I had my game set at 6.75 and after letting it settling went back last night and adjusted down to 6.5 and addressed a slight lean to the left the game had after initially setting it level (it's on carpet so expected some settling). Man, that made such a great difference in the game-play for the skill shot, orbit shots, and the side to side slight lean of .15 degrees addressed the games tendency to out-lane drain to the left. Was a nice TUNE in
Anyone know if there is a user manual published yet? What rubbers on the flippers and post are these shipping with (and size chart)?

Are you on newest release code? That was an old code thing at TPF but it’s believe resolved.
Aside from that, check your EOS switches to make sure working and also your flipper button switches. Sounds like just a small adjustment needed

I was getting this on the 4.8 code too, have been in contact with spooky about it. Sounds like the next update may address it.
Played Looney for first time this morning at Pintastic New England. It was fun. I was getting TNT add a ball a few times, and several loops with the upper right flipper. I wasn't able to hit much with the left upper flipper. Combos were fun but so fast that the ball was hard to follow. And the ball takes unexpected turns on the wacky wireforms. Lots of shots went up the middle and hit posts next to the ramps. The shaker did not fire very often -- set at a conservative level? Sounds were fun and not annoying.
Are others seeing consistent airballs from the upper right ramp, specifically when hitting it off to the right? Machine is so consistent it could be a shot of its own, and I'd presume all machines are looking at it, but checking. Here's what I'm 98% sure is happening.
PXL_20240411_224150316 (resized).jpg
The ramp flap doesn't cover the whole ramp, and there's just enough gap between it and the carrot target to fit the ball in there. When you hit that spot the ball hits the sharp angle between RP and playfield rather than being smoothed by the flap, and that sharp angle launches the ball upwards.
So far stuck balls have been minimal, but it makes me anxious because there are a bunch of exposed optos on the ramps. Only a matter of time before I take one out. I thought about making 3d printed wedge to go under the flap and extend over to smooth the angle out?

Could 1-2 small washers under the ramp to lift work. May need a longer screw but maybe not

Same, it's a sweet ramp that lands in the back loops. I just figured it's a feature lol
Man, I am really loving this game. I plan to do a game play video but it won't be as good as all the streamers. I am a horrible player. There are so many shots and ball paths. Very unique layout! I love Scooby but it is now number 2 but it definitely isn't going anywhere!
Quoted from Top_Fuel_Friday:Same, it's a sweet ramp that lands in the back loops. I just figured it's a feature lol
Yeah, if it was at home I wouldn't worry that much. On location every stuck ball disappoints a bunch of people who stop by to check it out. Taz has caught it a few times, which is fun lol. And on the bright side it does have bally style ball search, where it will just kick an extra ball out if it searches enough without finding a missing ball. 7 balls gives ya some spare room, lol.
SpookyLuke are those standard bally/Williams optos on the ramp looks like? I think I have one left on hand should one get taken out at least.
Man, LT is freaking fantastic! Sorry for the horrible game play but dang it is fun! All of you waiting, it will be worth it!

Do you have your game set at 6.5 pitch? There seem to be a lot of lower left ramp shot rejects.
Luke/Eric - Robin Hood Daffy really needs some “Yikes and away!” / crash sound bites. Maybe not on every leap but that’s one of the best parts of the short. Maybe do the main trio shot with audio once per mode?
According to the phone app it was 6.5 but I just checked it yesterday with a digital level and it was 7. I tweaked it yesterday and landed at around 6.2-6.3. Most of those rejected were bad hits. I am not a good player and my shots are off. I don't feel cheated when I have a reject. It's normally because I genuinely missed it.

Quoted from chriscable34:Most of those rejected were bad hits.
Not sure I agree with that. A number of those shots looked straight and true and seemed like the ramp was too steep or the flipper was too weak. And don’t keep ragging on yourself as a player. I’m sure there are far more players who can relate to your game play than that of those that blow the game up with one ball.

For sure. That's my favorite episode...period. It's a bit challenging with it being the background loop, but we'll figure it out. I most certainly have the callouts recorded.
Well, I did find a issue with my setup. Make sure you use a actual digital level and not a phone app. When I shot the video of the game play I had it set with phone at 6.5. I checked yesterday with digital level and it was 7.
I talked to Morgan and she suggested to set the game at 6.25. I ended up setting it where my level bounced between 6.2-6.3 on my digital level and holy crap, it made a big difference in being able to hit the shots better. Not saying it made me good but I have been hitting the ramps a lot cleaner. I highly suggest setting Looney Tunes at 6.2-6.3.
I will try to do another video discussing it and playing more. I have put about 8 games on it since I releveled.

Absolutely. Even an old school bubble level is better than a phone app. And for those that have never done it before - take the glass off and measure on the playfield itself.
Last video for a while but I figured I would show how to update code and also leveling. Also a little more game play.
