Not real tech savvy. Is there any place to buy WOZ 1.24 update and 2.0 update already on a USB memory stick?
(Topic ID: 84732)
Honestly, it's probably just as techy to upload the code as it is to download it to a stick. maybe even more techy to upload it. Haven't done a WOZ but did plenty of Sterns. JJP tech support seems real good so I'm sure they will help you through the process. If not, I'm sure you could coax someone local to come help you out. they get to play some WOZ and you get some updates. Best way to make new pinball friends.

You are going to need 2 different sticks for that. You can't put a full update and an incremental on the same stick (well you could but probably not worth the complexity).
In the case of WOZ the techy part is getting the update on the stick, especially for a full install. The actual update process is simply plug in the stick and turn the game on.
If there is someone else local you know that has a WOZ then maybe they will help.
But I think you have a good point and JJP should offer preloaded sticks. Might be a business opportunity for someone.

It's 2014, tech savvy is relative. Follow the instructions on the JJP site ( I'm assuming there is documentation on it) and learn it.
Pretty simple stuff even for a newb, once you do it once or twice you'll be a pro.

Actually there's no reason why you can't. You first create the boot USB off the ISO. It does not end up with a woz_update folder. Then you drag the incremental woz_update folder onto the USB root and you're done. Insert the USB and boot. It will image 1.24. Then when done, pull the USB, boot the woz 1.24, insert USB again and update to 2.0 via tools menu.
This actually a really good idea. Not everyone has the time or wants to learn to do something they're completely unfamiliar with. I've had clients for years with multi-million dollar homes that won't even change a light bulb in their games. It's not that they are incapable, obviously with homes like they have, they're not dumb or unwilling to get things done, it's just something they're completely unfamiliar with, and their time is better spent elsewhere.
I'm going to add the latest WOZ update to my site on USB stick. Order it and the latest version (alpha and delta) will come ready to put on your game.
We'll see how it goes, if no one has a need, I'll simply remove it...

Thanks for the responses. I think I managed to download the 1.24 full install to my Mac yesterday--with DSL it was an almost 3 hour process and my computer kept wanting to go into sleep mode (and I wasn't sure if that would stop the download so I stayed at the computer the entire time.) So now I must figure out how to get it from the computer to the stick (which I am hoping is not another 3 hour process). But I would be very open to buying updates preloaded on the sticks because that would cut out two steps--all I would have to do is plug it into the Pin.
