Quoted from applejuice:New SOL awards that give a 10% percentage increase/decrease of score and also the new odd change award. I guess score changes could be rounded to the nearest 10 points
Is there a forum for the new code and how to Install it?
Is the new code any good and easy to install? I bought a rfm that was given to one of the original pin 2000 software designers and would like to update it to the new code if it’s good
Quoted from waldo34:You know how there is always a "but" code is not to hard to install. My but was ribbon cable was on my motherboard backwards. Took me a bit to figure out the issue.
So code might be relatively easy to install but your pin might have oddities from the factory.
Is there instructions somewhere to install?
Quoted from applejuice:Cool purchase. Who did you buy the game from and how come they decided to sell it?
Here is who’s pin it was.
Thanks, I’ll look to update it!

Installing the code is done in the same way as any other pin2k update. You can search in this thread for examples on how to do it. I also made a new update program so that you can use modern computers (Mac and win10) to update from to

The rfm game updates you can read the full change/update log so far here to see if you like what I’ve done. There are many new features and modes not just minor tweaks.

Do I have to buy a license?
Quoted from harig:What a cool find!
Does the machine not have a serial number or what does the according text on the shipping paper mean?
Nope, no serial numbers on it or standard Bally’s stickers from production that they put on the back of the cab or on the inside

Quoted from applejuice:What type of usb to serial leads are you using and have you checked inside the machine computer itself to make sure the com1 ribbon is not on backwards to the motherboard?
The program is loaded and showing the update in the list so you've got passed the first step.
I did check and it’s connected but I didn’t look at the mother board. Just made sure it was plugged in. How do I know it’s right? It’s running 1.5 now
Here is what I bought
USB to RS232 Adapter with PL2303... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0769DVQM1

This is what I bought. I thought this was correct? Please let me know as I don’t see any difference

Ok, I ordered this one. I guess I’ll wait until Tuesday to update. Bummer, I was hoping to play it this weekend
Thanks for the help!
Quoted from bobwiley:Anyone here have a SWE1 playfield? Just curious how often you swap it out. Do you feel like you wish you had it's own SWE1 cabinet so your could play both games easily or do you like the saving floor space and swapping? Is SWE1 fun enough on its merits, or does it dilute the appeal of RFM because it uses some similar shots and the pepper's ghost effect? Do you feel like coding changes, similar to what applejuice has done with RFM would significantly improve the appeal of the game?
If I found one around 1500 I’d do it. There was one her recently at 1800 but the shipping was too much. I had SW and it was ok but rfm we enjoy a ton more.
