Awesome.. so you are getting your first LCD Screen Backbox!...and AIQ has a pretty deep code set so it should keep ya busy for a while! It will be a great game to have at home
Yaman. Yes I did hear it is super deep so im sure it will be beyond my comprehension but will keep me entertained and interested for a while I hope...if not I can trade it for the next new LCD :)
You said you made it more difficult by increasing the slope. Do you find that to be effective? I have a much harder time on machines with lower pitch where the ball gets floaty and less predictable.
Yes and no. You are right ... high pitch = speed but low pitch = more side to side and outlanes. Finally got a game on it last night with it set more difficult but got to final battle again 1st game dammit lol.
@@pinballshenanigans I’m just discussing pinball over here pal. No need to pull out your wizard mode wang on me! All kidding aside, I don’t know the rules for the machine but if you’re rolling it on the regular maybe it’s time to pass it on.
Nice, I don't recall being able to set the ball save time.. but for sure, it should be short on this title.... definitely need to tweak it to be a bit more difficult... although it can be quite fun to shoot for score, which can mean really maximizing that victory lap mode where you need to keep hitting the RPG targets whilst keeping the PF balls alive.. one of the really cool gimmicks in pinball.. but quite a challenge.
Oh really! I have 3.0 code right now and have the newest 4.0 code coming so might be some software differences. Yes that is a really fun mode for sure. Played that mode last night! Still need to make it more difficult even having increased the pitch, removed outlane rubbers and set ball save to 5 sec and still blew it up 1st game last night whoops!
@@pinballshenanigans Yeah.. like LOTR of the same year.. one of those titles that is pretty easy to get to the normal wizard mode victory lap.. thankfully not worth too many points,.. so still good for comp..
@@pinballshenanigans Wow.. that is old rom.. IIRC the 4.0 doesn't do much, but it does add some modes to the RPG which is really quite neat. Probably a bit more difficult than the wizard goal.. lol, completing all of the different RPG modes is quite fun.
@@pinbruh RPG at 3.0 seems pretty flushed out. RPG modes are unique and fun! You might be right about there not being much different. Looks like a dwight and ropp coding effort which along with ritchie is a pretty epic combo!
I have one of these machines. When I start the machine game mode and pull the trigger on ball one it doesn’t shoot the ball. I’ve tried resetting the machine (Turning it off and back on & ball count reset) but it still didn’t fix it. Do you recommend anything else?

Nice work on using the wire and heastshrink to do a decent replacement of the wiring to that coil.
Thanks Jimmy! You helped with that one :)
Great work, Mike! Hmmmm, Avengers:IQ for White Water? Interesting trade option
Thanks brother! I know right! I ended up passing on that. Tough to give up my WH20 especially after just finishing the project!
@@pinballshenanigans Makes sense. Some people underestimate the value of sweat equity you have when working on a game.
@@TopTierArcade Yaman exactly. I put a lot of blood sweat tears and love into that machine! I did end up doing the trade for my TWD and cash though!

@@CasperInkyMagoo Wizard wang lol! I'm trying to bastardize it some more. Just removed an outlane post. One step closer :)

It's too bad.. even at 4.0, the code still needed a lot of polish.. it plays, but could be soooo much more.

I would put in switch test and test the trigger, shooter lane and trough switches for starters!
Looks nice, have u solve reset isue?
I hope so :)
Wait what happened to the Lord of the Rings Pinball?
I still have it!
Only 5 second ball save? What a meanie!
Haha Jay and Ray didn't love that so much last night!
