I know it sounds silly, but I don't want to download anything into my brand new machines unless the software comes directly from the Stern site itself, which, as of now, its still not listed as an authentic update.

I will wait for the official update to appear on the Stern site then give that a go.

I have written to Stern to also ask if ACDC software updates are finished forever, and I have asked the same for Metallica and X Men.

I will post a response from {Patrick Powers/Jody Dakenberg once received.

Software directly from Stern's website. They have not updated the readme files yet, that is all.

It is a very solid update, Deadpool is awesome!

Did the X Men Code Update with my 4 yr old son asking every ten seconds "is it done yet".

What I meant from not downloading the game code off pinside, is that I would only download from Stern directly. Because the Read me file was not available by Stern, I was unsure as to who was offering the game code version, a pinside persons version or a std factory version. When TonyT explained it properly to me. I then understood it was safe untouched code to download.

My first game, without even trying on 3 balls was 30 million with my son sitting on the machine driving me nuts a lot. So not a proper game but I did see Deadpool appear etc often.

Can someone tell me what deadpool is about please.

Otherwise machine plays very very fast with only 90 plays total since unboxing.

I appreciate the members sharing the game code updates n advice. Thankyou.

Deadpool is linked to unique combos( brain freeze, teachers pet, hailstorm etc), it takes 10 unique combos to get the mode ready for the first time. It takes more combos to get the mode ready again.
Deadpool will help  defeat those pesky villains quicker and with more points which will help in getting all the villains completed to get to Dark Phoenix wizard mode.
Once the 10 combos or whatever is required is complete the mode is ready and the 4 dome flashers on the ramps will pulse.

[tonyt]

Deadpool is very cool. Just had my best game, finished all but two villains.

Every 10 combos you get to hire him. The knocking he does on the dmd is cool and he has quite a few sayings as well.

Here is the readme file for 1.5

If they've waited this long after production to release an update for a game... imagine when the next Metallica update will come out. My guess is 2016
