STAR WARS 20TH ANNIVERSARY FEEDBACK

"I feel like I just unboxed a new pin!"

"Overall, this thing is awesome, and you have already earned the equivalent of the nobel prize in pinball in my book. Feels like a brand new game now!"

"I can't stop playing. As-is right now, this game is a BLAST. It has STRATEGY NOW!"

"I must say HOLY COW! It's a game with a real challenge now! 6 games in a row and I couldn't break 100 mil! Nicely done and I tested the ball save and it works beautifully. I *like* having to shoot the force and sarlacc pit and I like the steps it takes to light them. It seems much more a players game now because of that alone!"

"Man it gets some crazy different flow now... feels awesome. Like a different table with needing these new shots. And triball is SO IMPORTANT now."

"I love all your rules changes. They are spot on, IMO. All of your changes make it a more enjoyable game.  A lot of thought behind them all. Thanks again for doing all this. The ball save alone is worth swapping out the roms, but you've made the game 'tournament material'."

"Played about 20 games tonight and wow! The big question now is 'what to go for?' instead of just hitting that ramp. It really has seemed to have opened up the game to a whole new level....working to get that Death Star has now become a real challenge as opposed to a given on the third ball. Funnily enough my two boys of 8 and 11 prefer it now as it's such more of a challenge and makes you think more about each shot. The extra speech is an added bonus and the scoring is more balanced. Have to say, loving that Extra Ball super force award, nice touch!"

"Played about 50 games with the new ROM installed and WOW!!! Love the ball save of course but the scores you can rack up with the tri-ball jackpots is amazing. It really makes mastering that shot into the death star the most important. I had a couple of great tri-ball games and scored the super jackpot three or four times and ended up with over 350 million both times. So much more fun than shooting the ramp over and over! The best part is all the undiscovered additions to the game that I haven't found yet. Hope everyone else is having as much fun with their 20th Anniversary DESW!"

"I think there should have been more praise heaped upon Chad by now, must be the new ROM owners are too busy playing! I know I've put more games on it in the few days since I got it than I did the entire year before! It is simply freaking awesome."

 "My chip arrived this afternoon, and I have been playing all day. Great work Chad, it is like having a brand new pin in the house! Money well spent."

"Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! The new Rules are awesome! I just held a small tourney with very competitive players... and they all loved the new Rom. In fact, dudes who had choice of machine in the playoff rounds chose Star Wars more than any other machine in the tourney! Proof that it was a good balanced machine for tournament play! You have taken an unbalanced but fun game... and turned it into a true winner!"

"Purchased the Star Wars Rom and just want to thank you again. It is fantastic! Destroying the Deathstar is so rewarding now, truly amazing."

"Great work. I was speechless after my 1st game. The new rules and the rearranged score layout are done perfectly."

BATMAN FOREVER v.5.01
 
IF YOU ALREADY HAVE THE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED BATMAN FOREVER V.5.00 (FROM AUGUST 2024) THEN YOU ONLY NEED TO UPDATE YOUR CPU ROM. THE DISPLAY ROMS IN THIS RELEASE ARE UNCHANGED AND REMAIN V.5.00
 
The unofficial update for Batman Forever is based on the v.4.01 CPU ROM named BATNOVA.401 and the two v.4.01 DISPLAY ROMs named BFDROM0A.401 and BFDROM3A.401
 
The original Batman Forever ROM files can be found at ipdb.org:

You will also need a utility that works for IPS formatted patch files. I recommend Lunar IPS which is available from fusoya.eludevisibility.org:
http://fusoya.eludevisibility.org/lips/index.html
 
You can download the IPS formatted unofficial patch files for Batman Forever here:
 
Instructions for creating your modified Batman Forever ROM image files:
You will need a blank 27C512 EPROM for the CPU ROM and two blank 27C040 EPROMs for the DISPLAY ROMs. You will also need an EPROM programmer.

1. Extract the file BATNOVA.401 from the IPDB zip file to your hard drive.
2. Extract the IPS patch file named BMF-CPU-501-patch.ips to your hard drive.
3. Run Lunar IPS, click Apply IPS Patch and follow instructions.
4. Burn the resultant file to a blank 27C512 EPROM.
 
To create your two new BATMAN FOREVER DISPLAY 5.00 ROMs:

7. Run Lunar IPS, click Apply IPS Patch and follow instructions.
8. Burn the resultant file to a blank 27C040 EPROM.
 
Replace the existing ROMs in your game with these three new ROMs.
The CPU ROM can be found on the MPU board in the backbox.
The two DISPLAY ROMs can be found behind the DMD display in the backbox.
Turn off power to game when changing ROMs.
Be very careful when removing the old ROMs and inserting the new ROMs.
Make sure the ROMs are oriented correctly and make sure all the legs are correctly aligned with the sockets when inserting.

Installing new ROMs in your game will erase any high scores or game customizations. Be prepared to change any settings (such as enabling BMF Adjustment 28 - Free Play) after you replace the ROMs.
