    Default AKB48 Team Surprise Pachinko Menu/Guide?

    Hello, I'm still tinkering with my 'pachinko wall' and now have the AKB48 mounted in it, along with a foam padded vinyl gutter behind it to catch the balls and take them to a central point. However I've got an error on the screen and... well, I know the reset button on the back needs pushed when you get the RAM error from having it turned off too long, but there's another error in the corner that I have no idea what it says; and it would be really nice to know what the extensive menus say. Does anyone have a full translation of the menu?

    One is volume control, that I figured out. One sends images somewhere to print it looks like (or save songs somewhere?), one is to enter a code to use as a starting point or a password for your account. But while I could do stuff a few weeks ago with shooting the balls and having them do things, it's now flashing red all the time.

    Here's the video of the instruction walkthrough, you can see the error in the upper right the whole time.

    I know the last couple are just girl selection. I couldn't find any manuals for it to walk through what the menus do. I did see where you could connect it to the internet in theory, log in, have it save settings or upload/download new songs to it... but also read that site wasn't accepting new members. I'd be happy for now I think if I could at least get it to play. It did more a few weeks ago, but now it's just dropping the balls without anything even going to the house, the balls drop through the front like winnings.

    If the balls are coming out the front like winnings maybe it is catching up on past due payouts? You may want to just keep dumping balls in it for awhile and see if it sorts itself out. I would also suggest downloading the google translate app. You should be able to either hold your phone up to the text to see a translation or possibly take a photo and then translate. Since my kanji and vocabulary is grade school equivalent I found the translation app to be a big help while traveling in Japan.

    I love my team surprise.
    The machine works on QR codes. You need to use the pachilog app to scan the qr code before and after play to upload your stats to your moblie account.

    The error says. Please call a member of staff.

    Sorry. You say that when you drop a ball in the start pockets. It returns to the front?

    When I shoot and miss any pockets the balls come to the front like I won them. Maybe Spyder138 is right in that it is catching up with past wins. I have the top hopper full.

    I know when I was goofing with it I pushed the wrong button and drained all the house balls out the back onto the floor That was before I used the magnets to pick up the balls (didn't get the magnet close to the machine)

    I tried the Waygo app, but it was unsuccessful in translating anything I tried. I disabled google play on my phone again because about every 6 months or so google services goes nuts and drinks my battery so fast that I can't even charge with it running. With google play disabled my phone can run for 3 days of use on the battery. I'll try flipping it back on again and loading the translate to see if that can do stuff.

    I wonder, maybe the 'call' button is stuck? Is the 'call attendant' maybe because it thinks that front button was pushed rather than something in the machine needing help?

    Sounds more like a cyclic machine. If lost balls go to the front. Where does the balls from the payout pockets go.

    Thanks! I didn't think to look for the manufacturer when searching, just the model! I'll check the app out!

    I haven't had a payout yet. I'm wondering if in all my tilting if I jammed balls in the upper hopper because I had some in it while moving it. I'll have to go through and verify where everything is. I dumped 500 or so balls in it, then they dropped out and I closed the thing that drained the top. I think I need to pull it from the rack too as I was going to use just one top knob to tighten/hold it but then decided to do two instead; the rest of the spots I've drilled for 2, but need to pull this one and the one next to it to drill the second hole. Lots to try now to figure out what is going on with it.

    Also check the cel is securely clipped in. I guess it all worked fine before wall mounting. Or is this a new toy?

    It's not really new, just finally getting it up. So it hasn't really been played here except putting a few balls through it. I'll double check the cell. I did open/close the front/glass a few times as well as the whole thing just to see make sure it was pushing the buttons for showing closed, also goofed with the key left and right and took it out to make sure the key wasn't in some position that it was trying to warn the operator that they left the key in.

    I think I got it, kinda sorta. The switches on the back for the ball routing needed changed. The top one was to the right, which I guess kept it from dropping balls into the vertical chute. And the bottom one needs to go down so it doesn't just drop all the balls straight out. I moved the top one to the left and balls fell into the vertical chute but not out the bottom, and then the message on the front quit. Maybe it was giving me my shooter balls back because it couldn't pay out any? Now the balls fall out the back. I need to work on the positioning of my gutter/ramp back there so the balls fall into the padded gutter and roll down into where I'll eventually take them back to the top.

    I may have a tilt/angle problem as if I don't give it enough power to launch a ball out of the chute, they start to stack up in front of the shooter and prevent balls from shooting at all and I have to open the front to remove the ones that didn't go. But... it seems to be playing now aside from that little thing.
