I'm considering either a semi-cyclic or cyclic mod to my Top Gun pachinko, and also adding a battle counter.

I have the machine opened and taken apart. It looks like a much, much easier mod to make it just semi-cyclic.

So, let's say I do that -- make it semi-cyclic, plus add a battle counter.

Can I then play with my 50-or-so balls (so to speak) and ignore the two errors I will get?

Error 4: Out of Balls in Reward Hopper
Error 6: Motor System Out of Balls

I know I probably just need to put it back together and test it, but I hope to avoid that work (plus I don't have a battle counter at this time, so I wouldn’t be able to test that aspect).

Anyone know a show-stopper to ignoring those errors?
Will game play be normal?
Will a battle counter work correctly?

Thanks.
