Zaccaria Pinball - Farfalla (1983) Bugs & Feedback

[dtown8532]

Post game specific bugs and feedback for Farfalla here.

Had an issue when using the left kickback flipper it pushed the ball into the left side of the cabinet where the ball was stuck in the rail graphics. This was just left of the kickback flipper.

If the ball goes up the ramp but then falls back down, the bottom flippers will stop working and you'll drain. When you try to flip to save the ball, only the upper flippers will work.

I noticed this, too - IRL videos show the bottom flipper set is always active; perhaps this could be made to happen in the game?

Had this happen twice during a game. Lost both balls as a result. Definitely game breaking. Also left sling shot isn't lit up during gameplay. Is this normal?

New bug, or normal? The "last chance" flippers only work once per ball. I saved a left outlane drain via that flipper, but sent the ball down the same left outlane twenty seconds later, at which time the "save me" flipper was dead. Is this supposed to happen?

 

[inspector42]

That is normal. In Devil Riders you have to reactivate them by completing drop targets, I believe.

Flipper bug for me too!

Ball got stuck, see pic.

Also had problema with the ramp. Ball hits the gate at the top and rolls back down the ramp and the bottom flippers remain deactivated. So instant death if the shot is unsuccesfull. This needs to be fixed asap.

Sometimes when the ball drains it gets ejected twice and the ball counter skips one ball.

shouldn't the left sling shot be lit like the right side is ?

Keeping in line with the realism we've come to expect from Zsolt & the team, I'd say that's just a blown bulb that will be replaced at the next service (with v1.4) tee hee!!

 

[Zsolt]

Thanks! Yes, it should be. It's a bug that has been fixed now and will be included by v1.5 update.

I had the partway up the ramp, dead lower flippers bug happen to me once after the fix.

We are missing some speech and sound FX in Farfalla.
And when you loose your ball at the end of your extra time she says "bye-bye, the fun is over"(!), check the end of this nice video and you'll hear it. (Great demo on how Frafalla works btw).

Farfalla 1.8 has some bugs too:

Never saw these lamps alight in v.1.8 during gameplay,
but the LOVE insert above the right in-lane was dead since the first release, IIRC.

V2.0 could someone familiar with the machine verify that the yellow, blue and purple flower lights are alighting properly. I have noticed strange behaviors, like the yellow bank of lights all turning on when yellow targets have only been knocked down once etc.
Edit: specifically, all yellow flower lights seem to light if the under-ramp bonus is scored. Is this correct?

 

[dtown8532]

Though not really a bug, don't you think collecting the multispecial should award an extra ball? A lot of work to get there and no EB. Just some lady saying that she likes playing with me. Also noticed that completion of the orange drop targets four times does not award EB either. I'm just going off the TNT video above. I know it's a setting and can be turned off, but come on. At least award for the multispecial.

Hi there,
I downloaded the latest update (2.0) but I still find that the angle with which the ball is hit by the upper parts of the flippers is too wide, thus making very hard to hit the central targets with a more straight shot. Directioning the ball to the center part of the table seems to be not possible. I watched a couple of videos of real Farfalla machines and the behaviour is indeed different.
Does anybody agree? @Zsolt: do you plan to have a look? (thank you
