Buffalo Pinball: Updates on Jersey Jack Pinball Wifi

Our friends at Buffalo Pinball talked Jersey Jack Pinball Wifi on their most recent Bro, Do You Even Talk Pinball? podcast – here are just a few highlights from Kevin Manne:

“Jersey Jack is rolling out Wifi capabilities…basically internet capabilities for your pinball machines. They’re starting out with the ability to do updates over it. They started out with Wonka, then they did Pirates, Dialed In, Hobbit, and Wizard of Oz. So now all the games have support for it…what you do is you have to download an old-school update that you install first. And once that is installed, it adds a menu system to your pinball machine that gives you network capabilities, you can select your network, log in, test your connections…once you’re connected, you can go in and check for updates. If it finds an update that you’re not on, just push the start button, it will ask do you really want to install that, say yes…and you’re good to go.”

New Pinball Product Alert: Truelevel

An interesting new product, called Truelevel, was introduced on Pinside from Pinsiders wolfmarsh and wildertronix last week! Here are the notes from this post on Pinside:

It’s a small, usb powered device that you stick on your playfield (typically under the apron) that will help you setup the pitch and roll of your machine properly. We’ve been torture testing them with the fine folks at Abari Game Bar in Charlotte, NC.

The device easily mounts with 3M command strips under the apron.

We’ve also written a phone app that lets you interact with the device via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The app is open to everyone, not just owners of Truelevel. The idea is if you are a player and go to an arcade where Truelevel is installed, you can check to see if the pins are set up properly with a simple red/green indicator of their status, as seen below.

**CURRENTLY THE APP IS ANDROID ONLY, iOS VERSION COMING SOON (Q1 2020)**

If you are the owner of the device, you’ll have set a PIN number that allows you access to the owners screen where you control the settings and get the raw readouts from the device

We’ve put a limited initial run of the devices up for purchase on the storefront at: https://www.savepointvideogames.com/

The app is available in the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.savepointvideogames.truelevel

**REMEMBER, CURRENTLY THE APP IS ANDROID ONLY, iOS VERSION COMING SOON (Q1 2020)**

Thanks for reading and remember to look for the “Truelevel Installed” sticker so you can use the app!
