Stern Star Trek code update released
- Thread starter todler
- Start date
Released on the Stern website. Looks like a big un.
This is excellent news, and timed just right as my ST LE is at the UK Pinball Party. Code downloading at the moment. Looking forward to trying the new code out in the morning 
Going to have to come find your Star Trek
Just installed it. Some nice additions including light/sound combos, lost the repetitive call outs (Mr Simon Pegg) and easier to get extra balls. Warp ramp has better references and bonuses for consecutive shots too. Only negative is the Karl Urban voiceovers, a bit too pronounced at times tbh. Bit surprised to hear 'bastard' and 'cocksucker' in there... Presume that can be disabled under adult settings for those with kids...!?
uploaded on sunday ,only managed a couple of games .so yet to here any rude words
Took a while, think when I got through to second stage missions after Kayu Bashi mutiball.
Not had much chance to play mine yet with the the new code, as the game is still folded up after returning from the show.
Did hear a few surprisingly naughty words shouted by the game whilst standing near it with the new code installed at the show... No complaints from any families about it though.

Big thanks to @I TiltAlot for bringing your Star Trek and from what I understand saying you didn't want it used in the tournament area so more people could get to play it...
Cheers to everyone that brought machines as obviously they are what make the show, otherwise we would be all standing about talking crack all weekend. Did a bit of that too.

Klingon multi ball start light show is freakin' amazing!
I seem to get a lot more Karl Urban call outs on my machine than I hear in that video....
Someone has modded the OST from the movie into v1.5
My LE won't take the code update
When the dip 8 set to ON and machine power cycled, the DMD is just blank.... Any ideas before I send the board back to PH?
Sounds like your pen stick is too large...!
Ooo err missus...Nothing happens, blank screen
That's MILES better and how it should have been from Stern in the first place. Will have to look into this.
When putting the code onto the USB stick, did you remember to close the USB device properly within Windows before removing it? If you didn't, it can corrupt the file. Just a thought.....
Are there any lights on in the game? eg backbox lighting / playfield - If not then suspect you've blown a fuse. If there are then look at the PCBs inside the backbox - do they have lit leds on them?
If they have then it's time to redo everything from downloading the new code on to a pen stick to going over the instructions on how to update the code. Also check that you haven't dislodged any connectors or ribbon cables.
If they haven't then possible a blown fuse somewhere.

Pffffft.
I could maybe have a go at it if you don't get anywhere
So what does it involve Carl?
My game now set up indoors after the show, thanks @Archyta5 so managed to put in a few games with the new code.
Impressed with the new Galactic Events (started by shooting the ball under the upper flipper when the Away Team insert is lit before finishing a mission). Lots of different ways of getting loads of points by combining these with other features.
The rude words don't seem to occur until well into the game, so shouldn't offend casual players.
Still a few bugs in the software. I have seen the Starfield Laser remain on after Klingon Multball finishes and the top lanes staying dark blue when they should be light blue. There is a thread on Pinside.com all about the bugs in the new software.
For those who are interested, I estimate the game got sixty plays on Friday evening, and 255 games were played on Saturday and Sunday after the code update.

"Dammit Jim, I'm a Doctor not a Pinball Wizard!" was probably the best bit of new speech I heard which made me laugh, I will have to come over again and check out all these new features for myself
