Backspin 4.7 w/ fewer strikes!

[Stinkerbell]

The older version I have is 1.5  The problem is that my AV software doesn't want to allow it to be mailed, saying it's an .exe file and dangerous.

The thing is, with 1.5 I NEARLY got strikes on every frame. It was great for the challenge needing strikes, but I always used 4.7 for ranking purposes because, since it didnt' play as well as 1.5, I drew less attention to my score.

Those bowlers sure are a chatty bunch with all their WTG's NT's NS's. Sheesh.

It's one of the forums you access from the main page.

I posted this in another thread and I'll put it here also.

This setting is so good I need to babysit it as it consistently bowls in the mid to high 200's. In one game it bowled 8 strikes in a row and I felt I had to disable it for a couple of shots so people wouldn't twig and start firing away at me.

This was an original post by Freecell. I have a hard time believing with what I went through in Pogo Bowl just to rank out that anyone really wants to get a perfect game. But here you go. This one is exactly the same as mine. Just click on the picture to enlarge it and then set this in one of your custom shot windows. You have to have yours set just like this or you won't get all of those strikes and just like in real life, you will not get a perfect score every game because the pins are always offset a little.

You might want to take over for the auto to make SURE you don't get a perfect score...saves on all of the scrutiny.   

Good Luck

I think there must be a lot to do with the OS as well because I had followed these settings to the letter on 4.7 and still didn't get strikes and seldom got enough points to win a game.

Ahhh, and upon further inspection, Fanny had listed those settings using 3.5. That might be why I had problems as well.

Internet connection speed matters also.

Dialup and DSL users likely won't get the same results as cable. Especially in games like bowling where timing is everything

Well said Homer. I have cable and timing is everything. Plus different rooms get different results just like in a real bowling alley. Been there, done that. Where is the bowling smiley?

Another tip, don't try to help the auto along.  Pausing the auto and playing by hand isn't helpful.

Thanks Baby, I have it saved. They are both so cute.

Pogo Bowl 4.7 Getting A Perfect Game

I used this setting and was able to get a 299 today. It is the same setting I was using for the perfect game of 300.  I used Windows Standard and the usual settings that the fourm recommends.

You do have to match the settings exactly, just a little fraction off and you will get splits. Try to come as close as you can and you will get well over 200 every game.

Click once on the image, click again on it once it opens. Click on it again to magnify it.

Right click on the image and select Save As. You should be able to see it larger on your computer once you download it and then you can adjust your settings.

* I had to redo this for you because the image I had for you on Image Shack disappeared. I used this setting last night and without realizing it got 8...YES 8 perfect games. I thought I had it set on another setting and went to bed with the auto running. Please do not tell me 4.7 BackSpin does not work.

If the auto would just be able to say NT and TY every once in a while it would really be a better auto.

Im lost on this topic for sure, i dont have backspin 4.7, cause i read too many people wernt winning a game. I kept 4.1 and as long as it gets me 150 points for a spin i dont worry about going over 200. But if i play in a room by myself it plays much better, then with other ppl.

HI  AGAIN.
well from all i have read and seen so many are having nothing but trouble with backspin 4.7 and like me wish old version was back.The one where it was strike after strike and most all games over 200.Like so many others i lost it and got the 4.7 which to me is useless.I am going to try and email Josh and see if he would consider bringing the old one back for us all.The only trouble now is I can't recall which it was so if anyone of you out there remember plz let me know and I will try like I said and see if it can be brought back . thank

 Sassy ''' thank you for this!! I followed your directions exactly and printed it out.  I have Backspin 4.2 and used your settings ''' I bowled all strikes except one!  lol.  Just thought I'd let everyone know that it does work with 4.7 and 4.2.  I don't know how it would work with any other versions but I can really vouch for these settings with version 4.2. Thanks Sassy, you're a sweetie!!

  Thanks Snowflower. I am so glad at least one person tried it and it helped them.
