This would make a great beverage to serve at any get togethers people may have to welcome their new games. You know. If not for COVID.

Someone mentioned it a ways back, but the link was broken.

Butter decals? Isn't the butter artwork supposed to be directly printed onto the wood, meaning no decals at all?
Quoted from Coyohtay:#423 Build sheet received and returned Monday Nov 30th, invoiced right at the end if the day Dec 3rd, paid immediately. Shipped Monday Dec 14th, scheduled to land Thursday the 17th.
Seems like butter cabinets are held up a bit? Still haven't been invoiced yet for one in the 380's with a build sheet submitted Nov 12th.
Quoted from Magicchiz:I too am looking for a older code. We picked up a very early game and the new code is not loading. even with trying twice.
Tried all sort of different usb drives.
Game just says update required.

I finally got the update to work with the current code using the fourth USB drive I tried.
Quoted from epthegeek:I just don't understand why anyone would want to go backwards. There have been significant fixes in every public release thus far.
After spending two hours stuck at a blank screen with a flashing cursor in the top left corner due to repeated attempts to update from the 2020.10.12 build to the current code using multiple USB drives, the next logical troubleshooting step would have been to attempt to reinstall the previous version.
Luckily I remembered I had a fifth (seriously) USB drive to try that I had been using in my car to play music, and this drive finally succeeded at installing the latest code.
If there is any way to have these updates fail with an error message instead of appearing to succeed and leaving the game unplayable, it would be super helpful.
Quoted from Zablon:If you ask me the main problem is it shouldn't be rocket science and have to order a specific USB stick from a galaxy far away to update a game. Why do pinball manufacturers seem to have more of an issue with this than any other device that uses USB?
Agreed, but that seems to be the world we live in. The problem would not be as potentially catastrophic if the machine could somehow test the integrity of an installation and determine that it would fail before erasing the old code, instead of pretending that the update succeeded and asking the user to power cycle only to find that the machine will no longer boot.
In any case, the ability to download code from the internet and update machines without having to burn (or pay someone to burn) rom chips is still a huge advancement.
Quoted from mrbillishere:That last bit is sage advice. I (we?) have been dealing with this ever since Stern gave us the ability to flash code via USB and dealing with it is just part of the penalty we pay for these luxury toys.
I literally have a bag of different ones marked with the type of machine they work on. You just never know what'll work, be it a tradeshow POS freebie or one you bought at BB for thirty bucks, there seems to be no rhyme nor reason.
I was going to post links to ones I know are reliable but sadly (at least on Amazon) they're NLA because the world has moved far beyond 8GB flash drives. Folks may do best to see what's available at their local supermarket as they tend to have older stock sometimes. If it helps, I'm having great success with Patriot and Transcend.
Truly. I was even at one point last night repartitioning larger drives to a single < 8GB partition. Go figure, the one that ended up working for me was 128Gb and I didn't even have to remove the music files that were already stored on it, let alone reformat.
Quoted from macethetemplar:To everyone having issues with the update USB....
The issue is not with the USB stick (unless it is inoperable) it is with the way it is formatted. They need to be formatted to FAT32 and that is no easy task if you do not understand disk formatting. FAT32 was never meant for large amounts of storage and is a very old format. FAT32 was never meant for large amounts of storage and is a very old format. The easiest solution is to use a program called guiformat on a windows computer. If you have an apple it's going to be easier to find someone with a windows you can use.
I hope these instructions are helpful to somebody, but I assure you that I fully understand disk formatting (and partitioning) and that all of the drives that failed to install the update for me were formatted as FAT32.
They were originally formatted by a Mac but of course I also tried reformatting them using Windows.
I can confidently say that the filesystem format is not the only factor that can cause an update from a particular drive to fail.
Quoted from Rarehero:Right, it’s really subtle & clearly unintentional. Like a ghosting LED effect. Next time your shaker is going off, look at your topper. Or try the shaker in the coil test and let me know if you see anything.
I always notice the topper flashers very dimly lighting up when the shaker goes off during the match sequence after a game.
