Iron Maiden Pinball Rulesheet

Now, I saw this video and I wonder if anyone know how to set up so get these insane amounts of points from each loop and then the loop jackpot? According to the rules I cant really see how it will add up to 30-40 million plus, each loop?

I believe it’s all in the Wiki rules at the top of this thread…

@CaptainBZarre

Loop Feature
Use upper flippers to shoot loops to build up and light LOOP JACKPOT. Loop awards are displayed in the big loop inserts, and are additive when more than one insert is flashing. Each loop scores the lit Loop Value plus adds that value to the LOOP JACKPOT, and increases the Loop Value by 250K, up to a max base value of 2.5M. The lit Loop Value will decrease over time (short timer) back to 250K. One shot to the mini loop lights the 2x Loop insert while the Loop Value is 500K or more; once the Loop Value decays back to 250K, the 2x Loop goes away. After shooting 5 (+2) loops, LOOP JACKPOT is qualified, the red LOOP JACKPOT lamps will light solid, and if the qualifying shot was via the big loop, the up-post will divert the ball to the mini flipper. Your progress toward your next LOOP JACKPOT is displayed on screen.

@CaptainBZarre

Loop Jackpot
Once qualified, the red LOOP JACKPOT lamp remains lit solid until the first Loop Jackpot is collected, at which point the lamp will start flashing and a 12-second timer begins. During this period, each loop shot collects the Loop Jackpot, and each consecutive loop shot will score 2x, 3x, 4x, etc. the value of the Loop Jackpot.

@Tsskinne is getting 4x, 6x, 8x… because he has 2x Playfield running during his Loop Jackpot phase.

That looks to be old code as well. It’s been balanced out a bit to incorporate the mini loop more.

During Mummy MB do the MUMMY letters carry over to subsequent Mummy MBs if the SJP is not collected? Seems like it happened on my last game but not 100%.

Also have had locks lit at orbits but when making the loop the ball is not locked. Is there any reason those shots would be green other than for locks are qualified?

Loving the game btw, made it to NOTB once. Lighting the final mode to collect the mode Eddie by hitting the ramps is my choking point.

[sk8ball]

Super loops should be the only time the trooper lock uppost is ignored. Also there is a delay from light locks after any center hit to avoid the ball rolling through spinner backwards to give lock credit

[Eskaybee]

@sk8ball

I suggest you not shoot those shots during Loop Jackpot then

Hah! I suppose so. But gotta setup a mini loop shot somehow.

Here’s another bug on pro:
If both pharaoh award is lit and right orbit is lit for ball 3 lock; it’ll cut the pharaoh award animation short and start trooper mb prematurely.

I’ve played on two pros at this point, and I LOVE it and am strongly considering buying one.

but…I’m really not thrilled with the flipper strength. All shots were makeable, but in some cases, barely. I worry how that holds up.

I miss the beefy SAM flipper buzz strength.

[sk8ball]

There are flipper power adjustments in the menus. They are set on medium by default.

@MikeCP

I miss the beefy SAM flipper buzz strength.

the buzz is from the modulation vs separate hold coil. Maiden uses the same design. Power supply differs, but same flipper architecture, but with more control with the power settings in software.

Prolly were set to default.

All four of the copies I played at Allentown had snappy flipper strength. Same with the one other copy I’ve played.

I’m buying one for my clubhouse; should be here in June. Thanks @trent.

I also wish there was just a tad more flipper strength or more leeway for adjustment (like the shooter or slings) in the settings. I have mine set to high (or hard I think) and after a thousand plays or so, the right flipper can no longer make the long backhand shot to the pharaoh target. Game is set up steep with the bubble close to the top. It was making it when I first set it up (on a good centered shot) but they mostly just trickle over or roll back now.

Try setting coil strength to hard in standard adjustments, then set flipper strength adjustment accordingly. This is what I did to help dial in my steeper pitch with the auto plunge.

[jay]

Good idea… I will do that today.

[sk8ball]

Hard is max firing time in MS. If you need it stronger I suggest 3.5 ohm flipper coils

[TaylorVA]

Some high scores have reset. Had over 1000 spins last night and then was awarded Spinner Master for 42 tonight. I am pretty sure I had way more than 42, lol.

[Eskaybee]

Tiny minuscule Code request:
If song selection between balls is turned off (via settings), can we have the music continue to play all the time and not play queue points on each ball?

[TaylorVA]

Possible bug(I may just not understand the rules)

Started Cyborg MB, collected several JPS but was not given the Cyborg Eddie Card. From prior games it seemed like Cyborg was collected as soon as you collected the last power jackpot. At first I thought a lamp was out but in the animation the card was also not awarded. Am I missing something?

At the time I had both Cyborg and 2MTM lit with one ramp left to finish spelling Eddie. Mummy and Trooper had been collected.

[ryanwanger]

Pretty sure this is in the readme. You need to complete the third level now, instead of just the second.

[sk8ball]

It’s a bug. If you light the last power jackpot but drain you don’t get a card. It’s been fixed

[TaylorVA]

Where’s the code! Lol
