Maharaja - anyone know how to change the default tune?

[candyflip]

I've been playing around with this one for the first time in 2 years, preparing it for sale.

I can't get anything but 'The Locomotion' during normal shooting play - is that right?

With so many great old disco tunes in the arsenal, I thought for sure you'd be able to change the song in-between Reaches and Bonus?

No???

and now, a totally gratuitous shot from the game...

I have Maharaja but it's in storage at the moment and needs to have it's transformer re-affixed, it came dislodged when it was moved.

I can't remember offhand, but i'm sure it played other songs during reaches, for each different genre / DJ

and I think the Locomotion isn't always the same, it changes slightly, tempo etc?

Sorry i can't be of more help

**edit** if you take a look at dishpan's original thread he does discuss Maharaja in depth and it may be helpful to you, here's the link:

CR Maharaja TJ

it's a great write-up and it encouraged me to buy one (and the brochures too )

Hopefully dishpan will see this thread and be able to advise?

I'm not really into moderns...but that looks like a pretty cool machine!

well if you like the rush of singing, and dancing, and playing pachinko all at the same time

then Maharaja is THE one to get!!

Alas, mine is in storage as well. A steady diet of "Locomotion" would drive me loco.

I don't recall a procedure where you can manually select a tune but I do recall that the game cycles it's songs fairly regularly. Then again the scantily clad dancers probably distracted me to the point where I didn't notice or care.

I think that might actually be the case, 'cause this thing ain't budging... just Locomotion on high rotation!

Gah!!! my ears!!!

Did my Maharaja just play a snippit of the Spice Girls 'Wannabe' or was I dreaming.....??

I don't think you were dreaming

I gave a link above to Dishpans review of the Maharaja Pachinko (here it is again, it's a good read

That's the way

Can't undo this!!
Give me up

Welcome to Pachitalk

[hanabi]

Thanks Angie... nice to know I wasn't dreaming!

I love that pachinkos can surprise us, sometimes you wait a long time for something different to show onscreen or in the sounds, very rewarding when it happens.

and apologies, I forgot to give you the Welcome Fishies!! best put that right then

[Pachinko44]

Thanks for the welcome Angie and Mo..

Maharaja is my third Pachinko, joining Janken Battle and Hanabi Fireworks on my kitchen wall.. and yes, it is good
when something you haven't seen or heard before happens..

Looking for a Maharaja parlour flag if anyone has one they are selling..

Regards,
Steve

I have a hanabi fireworks too, love the Airvision frame

I also have the Maharaja parlour flag and booklets, but they're not for sale, Sadly I don't know of anyone else in UK with the flags I've had mine a long time, but perhaps a USA member may have one?

You may be able to find them on yahoo Japan and get them shipped over, Member Drunkenclam would probably be able to find some links for you when he gets back off his Japan trip

Thanks again Angie...
