Change Log for the Latest Version:
Version: 2025.08.29
-------------------
- ADDED: New "Test line" mode in the "All LEDS" test. Press start to cycle
through color options; the last one is now "Test Line" which does
a vertical and then horizontal wipe across the LEDs in a cycle.
- ADDED: New standard setting (73) for flipping the speaker lights per-speaker;
if either speaker (or both) goes the wrong way (right to left) in the
new line test, you can use this setting to flip the orientation so it
is correct and lightshows will look as intended.
- ADDED: "Lifetime" games started/balls started audits that will not reset.
- ADDED: Lightshow when soldiers get eaten at the end of harvester battle.
- FIXED: "Games Started" counted multiplayer as 1 "game" until now.
- FIXED: Sand trap won't phantom kick on first ball entering.
- FIXED: Prophecy:Train wasn't ending properly on cash out.
- FIXED: Fight Vanity awards were mislabeled Awaken on high score entry.
- FIXED: Pain Box Test time shouldn't be busted now; speed score forced to reset.
- FIXED: If "easy start" for the multiball was on, the magnet catch was still
active during the pain box test.
- FIXED: "Bonus time" for harvesters adjusting downward after the first battle
(based on how much water you bring in) was only working on restarts
after timeouts -- wasn't happening on fresh starts on harvester 2+
- FIXED: Lower playfield tilt warning was loading the wrong image for
the foreground at night.
- FIXED: Changed a bit in Sietch to avoid a problem when you hit the
shot to the mountain to change phases too quickly.
- FIXED: The tunnel shot in DPMB can't register twice quickly anymore,
if the ball rattles around in the shot.
- FIXED: Awaken scoop shot in phase 1 only works from the front to avoid
conflict with the spinner shot.
- CHANGED: Match "winner" text appears a little later.
- CHANGED: Fedaykin holds the second ball during startup, rather than kick it
back out immediately.
- UPDATED: Thumper wave light show to include the HAL/speakers.
- UPDATED: Worm ball search movement changed slightly.
- REMOVED: The bit that kicked the ball out of the sand trap on a tilt.
