Re: Playboy

Thanks for the video. I've got to get the TILT DVD. As much as I love seeing hot babes it still seems to me that Haunted House would have been a theme much better suited to showing off what p2k could have been. A totally moot point now.

Re: RFM Topper

These comments are coming from a guy with no artistic ability whatsoever, so keep that in mind :) The black definitely needs to be blacker. It seems that the topper should be as wide as the backbox too, and some method of increasing depth would be cool. Maybe a hollow box painted black with the scen...

Re: Update 11.06.08

Congrats for finding and fixing it, upgrades can be a major PIA. I develop mostly on QNX and upgrades are always an adventure, but MOST of the troubles are related to gcc and related tools. With so many people involved in a widely distributed free-for-all development methodology backwards compatibil...

Re: Update 10.30.08

Haunted House? Man, if that's not the perfect theme to show off P2K I don't know what is. Imagine the apparitions that can appear, disappear, and float across the screen. Poltergeists could "virtually" appear to shake things on the playfield. Blood could virtually run down walls. Yikes, th...

Yeah, things are >< this close! Congrats.

It was truly sad to hear about the layoffs at Stern. Quite depressing.

Re: Menu Screenshots and New Loading Screen

Looks great, and easy to use.

Maybe you guys need to come up with a 5-armed martian logo for that screen :)

Re: Update 10.27.08

I had a friend who went cheap when he bought two eMachines PCs for his office. They never worked right and he asked me to see about fixing them. I couldn't believe how cheap the power supplies were - with the cover off, and with a grounding strap on, whenever I touched the power supply case the mach...

Re: Update 10.27.08

Very cool.

Have you decided how the packaging will work in your turnkey solution?

Will you have a custom case made that fits in place of the existing computer?

Speaking for myself, I'd pay a few bucks more for TOP QUALITY components. The best power supplies, fans, motherboards, drives, etc.

Re: No More Glare

Good idea, looks great!

I use glare guards on all my DMD pins but never thought of putting one below the translite on a p2k pin. Duh.

Re: Extra ball rule

This is the RFM forum so I thought you were talking about RFM.
I have no idea what SWE1 does.

On my RFM when the score exceeds 300k points an extra ball is awarded automatically and the light comes on.

Of course it comes on at other times too.

Re: Extra ball rule

Any time you get an extra ball!

At least it should come on when your score exceeds the extra ball point threshold.

Go into your menu and see what that threshold is set to, you can set it low and see if it comes on then.

Re: ablaze leds wooohoooo

Thanks for the pics. I've got LEDs in WH20, sometimes I like 'em and sometimes I don't. The instant on/off characteristic of them is a little cold and harsh. I'd probably never do another entire machine with LEDs but they do look good in some areas.

Re: Fireside Chat Audio Recording on pinballnews.com

You guys did an excellent job with your expo presentation. Thanks to Pinball News for making the audio available. I sure hope the Gene patent thing works out and you can work with him. It sure seems like us p2k owners should be able to keep our machines running without all the legal runaround. Anywa...
