Highlights

Press the buttons indicated at the bottom of the screen to turn various options ON or OFF. With all options set to ON, you can cycle between the marquee display, top three leaderboard placings, and your personal high score for the compatible leaderboard game. This feature is coming for Legends Pinball devices in a future firmware update.
