I recently upgraded the pinball machine code on my AC/DC Pro which was super easy. My T3 is still on the factory default version and I wanted to upgrade that as well. I downloaded the code and its just the rom files and didn't really see any instructions. Does this machine require you to burn new roms for an upgrade?

You need a chip burner and eraser. Some people have a gq-4x. If you search the forum there are many topics and views on this topic.

I bet you a local pinhead has one.

Or the easy route.....there are places that sell the chips cheap already written.

How computer savvy are you? gq-4x works well enough, but is a pain to get working under windows 8.

Highly recommend just ordering new chips unless you want to invest time in learning an entirely new skillset.

Ah, I was afraid of that. Thanks for the info guys. I'm more of a vid guy and have been meaning to get a burner.

They have a good deal with the uv eraser direct from manufacture on ebay.
