Looking at buying an early alien and wondered what kind of cost am I looking at to upgrade it to use the 1.2 code? Are all the parts currently available?

#926 4 years ago

Thanks guys. Really appreciate the info. Looks like a pricey upgrade so trying to figure out where i need to be on the game relative to my trade and info like this always helps.

Quoted from delt31:

I feel the same way about this game. I actually like it too but not sure about the support. As an Alien owner parts that are available to work on FT but I know FT has its own specific parts too.....
4k is a steal for this game.

Disagree, they sit at 3500. If you change your mind few want it.

Quoted from sulakd:

Ouch I'm gonna take a beating if I sell. But at that price if accurate, buy two and have spare parts if something serious goes wrong. There's a lot of value in that game for that price. Agreed that it's not deep, but it's a fast, fun game. Theme is blah.

There is. I kept debating buying the one out in Colorado if he would go down to 3200, but he didn't and it sat for a year (seriously). I stopped looking awhile ago as I have too many games now.

How do you update Full Throttle? I downloaded the zip file from Weir's site, but the contents of the zip folder do not match the instructions. If I put the thumbdrive in and have it run I get an error when it tries to update.

Did try burning the sdcard file using hddrawcopy to a new sd card. Insterting that into the utilite. Copying the targetsysupdate files to a fresh fat32 thumbdrive. Boots to two linux penguins on one screen and sits.

#987 3 years ago

Just wanted to update.

If the hdmi cables are swapped on the utilite it will not boot.

Burn a new sd card from the included sdcard image, my 1.3 would not work. Copy the contents of targetsysupdate to a fat32 usb. Using those two got it working.

Quoted from Willathrilla:

Could a full throttle owner post some pics of the IO boards voltages from the test menu? My 12v is running at about 10.5v I'm wondering if that's normal ( I'm having issues with the game).

What is that under? Mine is on the latest software and the io test does not show voltages.

By the sounds, Full Throttle owners have not been forgotten either!!

That is an old post to quote and is not related to spare parts.
