Certainly. But. I do not know Pool Sharks that well. This one fixes some of the immediate issues I came to know about regarding the game. More to come some day, maybe.

Changes
Choosing the Quick freeze Claw award, when already lit, gives a Super jets selection instead.

Why it rocks
Great shame to see the Claw, as the major mechanical feature of the game, disabled in competition setup.
Better strategic control over when to spend the light multiball/start multiball trumph.
Modes selection according to player preference.

Note
The Claw awards unlight as soon as the fifth one is chosen. Hence Quick freeze may be utilised again before Demolition time is played.

Changes
Holodeck defaults to the 25M award. In other words, the video modes are scrapped.

Why it rocks
Well, maybe it doesn't. TD's choice.



The Getaway - High Speed 2
Rev L-5 patch bc43
Download link: http://tinyurl.com/ychdyrw9

Changes
The premature multiball (re)start bug - fixed.
With tournament play unselected: Multiball may be removed from Burn rubber awards (with adjustment A.2 13).
Secret mania is scrapped.

Why it rocks
Correct light locks, lock balls, start multiball, jackpot and super jackpots logic.
Secret mania messes up the traffic lights progress and potentially have more hazardous side effects.

Note
With tournament play selected: Multiball is still the fifth Burn rubber award (when no extra balls selected).



Junk Yard
Rev 1.2 patch 2fb5
Download link: http://tinyurl.com/ychrqe78

Changes
For each ball-in-play, and once a (dog) video mode has been played, a DOG completion will not qualify video mode.
Video modes are scapped from Magic bus awards.
Bonus-x resets at start-of-ball.
New DMD pages designed to support scoop-ramp awards (Engligh language only).

Why it rocks
Better rhythm of the game without the ever interrupting video modes. Greater challange. Much more fun.
Players may still find a desent treat at the DOG shot. But it is a bit more far-stretched and without the comfort of video modes.

Note
Toaster gun completion will always qualify Save the girl video mode.



Thanks to beta testers! Thanks for test game loans! Thanks for support!

Enjoy.

I'm looking for at WPC pre-DCS sound board. Fully working or will consider a defective one as well.

The Earthshaker ROM mod has been back on the workbench. It is now presented with player individual jackpot value and center ramp only reduced to quarter value.

Release note

Revision L-4C

Jackpot values are player individual.

Jackpot value is reset to 1M at start-of-game and when collected.

Jackpot value increment 1M -> 1.5M -> 2M -> 2.5M on 3-bank drop target completion only. It stays at 2.5M on additional completions.

Center ramp scoring: 25K. When 99 Miles achieved: 50K. Plus 5K on the left inlane.

Earthshaker custom turned out to be perceived as both inadequate and over the top at the same time. I hope to bring forward a new iteration with a fix to the jackpot thingy. Soon I hope. No promises.

As for new games, it will likely take a while. I doubt anything till after the summer. I have a lot of stuff on my platter. Both in and outside of pinball. A hard-mod-ish project, that I would like to get off grounds. And the Danish championship this time.

Demolition Man I am not too excited about as it works for competition with claw off. Although it is a shame to see a mechanical feature disabled. Plus it is nice with the claw as a pause in playing.

But when at it. Pay bonus and max freeze are highly attractive computer awards. Maybe the computer award sequence should be 100% static. Suggestions?

Link corrected.

Release note

Revision L-3C (revision LA-2 patch)

Jackpot value initialise to 1M (when Contest game selected).

1 2 3 4 5 jackpot lights are indicating correctly when multi-ball ends.

The Gazillion awards a fixed 5M.

Adjustment 32, Contest game, defaults to Yes.
