Flake:
OK so I'm not totally done on this yet because I failed to order enough LED #89 flashers along with some other bulbs, but this is what it looks like now. I've tinkered with the idea of switching the blue LED's around the death star or R2 to white. My original thought was any place that had generally blue plastics get blue LED's and generally white/clear plastics get white LED's. I'm also going to replace the #555 bulbs in the pop bumpers with red LED's as well.
Opinions?
Sorry for the crappy pic. I took this with my phone because I got lazy. BTW - not sure if this is the norm or not but pulling all the plastics, cleaning areas with Novus 2 and then waxing, replacing rubbers and bulbs took me probably 5 hours yesterday. Good thing these LED's are supposed to last forever. Does it take anyone else that much time?

Looks good :cheers: Pinball + star wars + cool LED's = a very jealous PW79.... Wait did I just 3rd person myself like a Billy Mitchell?
Anyway 5 hours? Just "use the force" next time. JK dude it takes me forever to do anything on a pinball machine so 5 hours sounds pretty good to me.
FYI: The new Hyperspin ---smurfing--- rocks! The wheel control is now perfect, the page up/down is professional as all get out now & the minted list seems pretty damn minty if you ask me.
Flake:
The "new?" HS? They must have added a recent update. Man it would be frieckin nice if somebody would put out a detailed tutorial on how to setup that emulator. Not sure my computer has high enoughs specs anyway. The last time I tried it the opening sequence was choppy.
pinballwizard79:
Yeah that new version is now doing some funky ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- to my PC so before you upgrade hold off. I have like random wheel art disappearing, themes that will not load unless I go back & forth a few times & when I open HS or the editor it shows up in my task list but no where else to be found :-(
Its so pretty though so I am not giving up
Edit: I first loaded a hacked version of XP from India & I think it was unstable, now its time for a clean OEM disc of XPcorp. FML must FTP movies & themes again, yawn.
LLUncoolJ:
I know HS changed their file structure all around on the latest update. I'm not about to redo my setup, so whatever themes I have now are all there is going to be. That being said, I'm very happy with HS. I have had MaLa and Maximus on there and IMO, this is far cleaner...and idiot-proof. But making game lists is a ---smurfette---...at least on the older version.
2nd night of pee-wee football practice tonight. God must pretty much hate STL with 2 weeks hovering around 100. I'd feel sorry for these poor little guys, but coach UncoolJ lost about 20 lbs of water weight himself yesterday...there goes that 3rd person again.
