Quoted from shelby1000:I just updated my AMH to version 23 and now I have a software problem with it. I followed all of the instructions and the update itself went fine and the DMD displays version 23 on start up but basically what is happening is when the ball gets shot into the scoop on the right side of the playfield the game reboots. Everything stops and DMD goes blank except for a few lines and about two seconds later it shows version 23 and then it shoots the ball out of the scoop and play continues as normal except that the volume is much higher now. So right now I'm stuck with a game interruption and quiet sound until the ball goes in the scoop and then it gets loud. Has anyone else had this problem? I haven't contacted Spooky yet and just wanted to see from other owners first who have done the update. Thanks.
Are you absolutely sure you formatted/copied he sd card correctly? You have to download the zip, extract the files to your computer , format the sdcard to fat32 32kb, then copy the folders/files over to the sd card. Do not drag files from the zip file to the SD card, this can cause unknown issues.
If you did format/copy as mentioned, find another 8GB class 10 SD card and try again.
Did you use a Mac? I ask this because I was testing a year ago using a mac and got the reset from the scoop as well. I ended up using a different card, and used a windows PC to fix it.
What you are seeing is the result of a bad read on the sd card, the system detects the hang then reboots the AV. Because the pic didn't send commands set the volume/scores/etc (at bootup).. you get volumes too loud and scores out of whack. The game will "continue" because its getting new commands.
