Thanks Lloyd.


I just hope I am still around by the time they get to actual production.


Which is why I suggested it to CGC.

I can't believe that no one is mentioning a remake of The Pinball Circus.
There are only two games known to exist.
Rick - Please ask CGC to at least consider it. I think they would do very, very well with this title.


Thanks,

You use a six inch bubble level and an inclineometer. Both available at Home Depot.

Is there a page to download this software update from? Hopefully with instructions on how to apply it.
Thanks

I guess no one wants to take the advice I posted above.


Again, replace the 2032 battery on the pinball controller board. It appears that it needs at least 3.0 volts to maintain its memory. Read my above comment.


I am not sure a software update can fix that.


What would fix it is a 3 volt power supply. Just my opinion. If I am wrong, please let me know.


Thanks, Dennis
PS: Love my MMRLE! A quality product! It was well worth the wait.

I had the same issue and replaced the CR2032 battery on the board in the back box. That cleared up the problem.
I then checked the old batteries voltage with my VOM and it read 2.99 volts.
So it appears the board wont maintain data with anything less than 3 volts.
Maybe some of the batteries that are on the boards are marginal.
It is a good idea to replace the batteries on any machine you purchase anyway.
Make sure you replace the battery with the machine off. You don't want to accidentally touch the circuit board with it.

I adjusted the switch as you suggested and the error cleared up. Just as you said it would.


You are the best!


Thank you Lloyd,

MMR Support [MMR Members Only] / Left gate stuck closed error

« on: November 01, 2015, 11:06:30 AM »

I am getting a "Left Gate Stuck Closed" error. The coil works and it appears to be opening and closing the gate.
When I am playing a game I am able to do a Super Skill Shot (which means the gate opens). It also stays closed for a regular skill shot.
Interestingly, during the Solenoid tests, number 27 and number 28 the right and left gates operate with the door open. Wonder if that happens on all MMRLEs? Or is that an indication of the problem? The drawbridge also opens during the Solenoid tests while the door is open.
I would appreciate any help or suggestions.
Thank You,
Dennis
