Excellent and very much appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome to the forums. Zen and TPA are both great in their own styles, and fun and depth are there in both -- that part is certainly subjective and varies by table and your skills -- but the quoted part of your statement (above) is why I favor Pinball Arcade over Zen. I much prefer the...

I've accomplished it once intentionally and once by accident. But never on Mars. I find myself considering setting up the shot at every opportunity though I realize I'd probably score better if I were concentrating on making the money shots. I guess I consider it one of my personal "wizard"...

I agree. Maybe if enough do, we'll get an acknowledgement. I emailed support@pinballarcade.com last night and at least got an auto-reply so the email was received to whatever they use as a client. I politely asked if they would be willing to acknowledge that they are aware of the problem...

As far as I can tell just from playing. The first time you complete the 1-4 targets, it lights one star; the second time through the now flashing 1-4, it lights the next star; then the floating arrow starts cycling through on the 1-4 targets awarding an extra ball if hit. So I guess they give...

On Android devices, launch a table from the "My Tables" menu and then select the button named "Table Menu". The "Extras" menu is 4th down from the top; "Custom Ball" is the 3rd (lowest) on the Extras menu. Depending on your screen size I guess you may have to scroll down on some menus to get...

Not that I wouldn't want any of the combos already suggested (I want them all, now please) ... in fact there may be a few I liked better game-play-wise, but these are on my short list of not otherwise announced (or generally assumed to be probable), mostly because of my personal "nostalgia" for...

Wow. Great read. Well done! This ... ... any news at all about that during your visit? Thanks!

8 Ball Deluxe, but honestly, my main decision factor here is based on the nostalgic value for me personally -- having slotted so many quarters into it in Aladdin's Castle all those many years ago, it would be great to get some revenge for all that lunch money lost! My order would be: 8-Ball...

MENU Scrolling PROBLEM: Menu Scrolling ... DEVICE: Toshiba Thrive, ICS 4.04 This is actually just a theory. I think the reason why the new menu scrolling is so jumpy is that touching a table icon performs two functions: (1) it centers that table into the center spot and (2) it initiates...

I can also tell you that when using the leader boards and scrolling through the table leader boards until I get to the HOF points leader boards that I'm about 88% confident that my HOF points total hasn't changed from the last public release despite having accrued points on TZ and during beta...

It was happening to me (toshiba thrive, ics 4.04) 100% of the time on beta 1 and beta 2 and even after I clean installed beta 2 a 2nd time to do some follow up testing that was suggested. I'm not saving or restoring save files and its a full delete and installation each time followed by a...

I'm not trying to be rude, but you are misinformed. The android users that opt to participate in the beta tests purchase the tables, each and every time, no exceptions and nothing is free before, during or after the beta period. They devote their personal time to troubleshooting, testing, and...

Yes, I think 2 or 3 out of 4 of us who have addressed it are saying exactly that and also that we see a difference from beta(1) and beta(2) in the default ball from the start. In the case of Jared and I, we also (on TZ) have seen the PB go from a lighter shade of gray to a darker shade more...

Black Hole (lower play field) out hole blocked TABLE: BH BETA(2) ISSUE: BALL BLOCKS LOWER PLAY FIELD OUT HOLE I think this is related to multiple issues, including game ending locks where the 3rd ball is not sent to the plunger trough. During multi-ball both my lower play field balls...

Black Hole ( Teleporting Balls) TABLE: BH BETA(2) ISSUE: LOWER PLAY FIELD AND BALLS TELEPORTING BACK TO UPPER PLAY FIELD I don't recall who originally posted this on the beta(1) but after 10 games, 2 of them lengthy (~7 MIL) I've duplicated it twice. In both instances it appears to be a...

Could it be then, that when we select the gray patch in EXTRAs we are not getting the default (non-custom) ball but a gray/silver version of a custom ball that is being drawn twice? I ask because (1) the silver ball does not seem to be the same visually after visiting the Extras dialog, which...

That sounded like such a great mod that I searched around and found this short clip. I'd never seen it before, either. I don't mean to insert myself into your thread when I don't own the machine myself, but I thought I'd share what I found...

TABLE: TZ BETA (2) Conditions: - Clean installation w/o 'saved_data' backup restored. Options / Extras dialog (ball skins) never visited. Purpose: Test to see if the TPA app losing primary app focus in any way impacts ball rendering (ghost ball phenomena) Finding: It does. TEST 1...

. Darn it. No need to be sorry for finding it different for you, Nik. I'm sorry it didn't improve things for you -- I'd hoped it would better support the theory that ball skins are a big factor in the various issues. I actually think it does (for me) in that having removed the save state I...
