New AC/DC code out V1.63

[GORGAR 1]

Here is the update page from the site:

V1.63 - Jan. 18, 2013
=====================

- Added multiplied shots to "For Those About To Rock".
- The bell shot is now part of combos via the left loop and the right
ramp.
- Fixed an issue that would possibly corrupt the auto extra ball data.
- Added lamp effects for T.N.T. awards.
- Album multiball and tour multiball jackpot information now displayed
outside of multiball. This helps the player if they are trying to
change songs to set up a song bonus.
- Added art and sounds for double/triple bonus. Bonus intro now plays
in the key of the song that was being played. 2x/3x stamp is either
fire or lightning (instead of silent screen flip) based on what song
was being played.
- Added speech for good bonuses.
- Added super jackpot speech. Added big lamp effects for cannon
target(s) hit.
- In an effort to keep two balls from jamming up in the cannon, the
control gate that diverts the ball into the cannon will release the
gate if a second ball arrives at the right ramp exit switch
immediately after the gate was closed to divert the first ball.
- Encore "won" and "keep shooting" effects may no longer be aborted.
- Some sound test music was being cut off during sound test. This has
been corrected.
- Fixed an issue with the song intro loop music being trampled when
the ball is loaded into the cannon quickly at the start of a new ball.
Very noticeable on songs with lengthy intros, like "Back In Black"
and "For Those About To Rock".
- Added some lamp effects.
- All scores (system and game) are now stored as 64-bit.
- Fixed up the audits. 3-multiball super jackpot and all encore audits
were not being displayed. This has been corrected.
- Added audits for the top eject and cannon switches. Triple multiball
super jackpot is now always available (but will still reset when
collected).
- Ramp targets now score like the other targets, where the value that is
built up during the ball is reset at the start of a new ball.
- If the player does not fire the cannon (timeout), most cannon awards
will not remain available. They will have to be requalified. This
prevents certain exploits (i.e. firing the ball at the left loop to
get +1 advance for Tour Multiball along with (usually) a note arrow
during a song).

Thanks Pete    Stern have certainly put some effort into making AC/DC a great game.   
It seems Steve Ritchie is a perfectionist if he still wants updates done to an already great game.

Don't worry, updating the code is ezy-peezy

Well done on the purchase Dendoc.

Did you get the pre-flight check done by the dealer first?

If its a very recent build, some of the initial problems may have been ironed out...

I havent heard of a Premium AC/DC machine with a problem yet....only 2 or 3 LE's when they first came out, and only the same bell opto issue.

Johns Premium will be a blast.  I wonder how many Premiums they have sold worldwide now ? will have to check out the serial number and some of the hidden numbers under the playfield to compare.

Must have nearly out sold TSPP by now I'd reckon? Or very close.

This thing is getting better and better. I have played about 10 games with 1.63 update and it feels good. There are subtle improvements in sounds and lighting on a machine that is already very good. Listen and see when extra ball lights up. Watch the lights go balistic when you fire the cannon and get a hit. Shoot the lit target from cannon on For Those About to Rock and one arrow light goes a pinky colour and moves around the playfield (like on Golden Arrow) for added bonus.
I am hooked on this thing as I am still discovering new scoring possibilities and levels yet to be discovered.
I think my wife is going to kill me before I get a chance to learn everything.

So acdc gets lots of updates but x-men is left in the corner it seems.
Looks like only games with lyman and ritchie at the helm get the full treatment, everything else just gets pushed to the side. The TF code promised at xmas did not even arrive and the x-men code update was a huge pile of dog shit.
Great news for accadcca fans on another good code update for sure but Stern has more games to tidy up code wise than just this.
WTG Stern, more proof that this company is one big bad joke.
