Been wanting to join this group for a while and finally was able to this weekend! The wife and I both love this game and look forward to the countless hours of fun it will provide!

Hey guys, just uploaded a tutorial on updating RFM to ver 1.5 and 2.1 using windows 7 and factory hardware. Let me know if it helps out!

Quoted from rygar:

Thank you for the verification. The upper (connected port) is COM1 and the lower one is COM2. I ll try updating again with the playfield present.

What operating system are you using to update?

Quoted from Ricochet:

Folks that are running pinbox or newcore... what PC hardware are you running? I want to keep my CRT so I need to run something with a early model ATI card so it will run at 15 kHz... but beyond that does it matter much?

Something I’ve been researching as well. I found this website that might Have some answers. https://www.retrorgb.com/rgbvideocard.html

#2850 4 years ago
Quoted from rygar:

Windows 98SE on an old Toshiba Satellite pro 4200.

Ok, just FYI you can update without having to use the update manager. I just did a tutorial on this the other day. If you run into issues it may help out and you can use newer OS.

Quoted from rygar:

Thank you a lot! This option worked for me. I have used another laptop and null modem cable and it worked. I connected laptop to the original PC without playfield and the update started without problems. Judging by prism card (reboot after update and normally blinking again) everything should be fine. I ll report back when I put the PC back into machine .

Nice!! Glad it helped someone out!!

Quoted from Sonic:

I reviewed a 3 year old post from osudrummer, but wanted to re-ask since a lot can change in 3 years...but what is everyone doing to replace the fluorescent bulb with an LED in the translite? RFM is the latest in my collection and that deal is annoying.....thanks!I went to Walmart a bought a replacement LED tube, removed the starter in the machine and it fired right up. No special wiring or ballasts needed.

Just put on these flipper bat toppers on my RFM from Mezelmods. They look really awesome

Quoted from Lhyrgoif:

I'm still deciding on if I should invest in a shaker or not (got the loom already and planning to add the knocker) simply on the gut feeling that extra vibrations doesn't really pair good with CRT's/old solder connections/electronics in general. When and how long does the shaker activate if installed? Anyone know of any damage caused because of a shaker (in any pin)?

Just recently sold an Earthshaker pin a month ago and can’t say the shaking made any difference on the reliability of the hardware in the machine. Had all the normal problems but didn’t see excessive cracking on solder joints when reheating the boards.

Quoted from Only68s:

I know its been discussed a million times over i this thread but how is everyone finding old windows 98 laptops and pcs to do the 2.10 update??? i know you can rent the card with 1.6 but did all of you guys just have an old laptop ready to go in your closet?????

You don’t need a windows 98 pc to update to any version of code including 2.10. I made a Tutorial vid on how to update with any modern windows based computer. Hopefully this helps:

I’ve updated pin2000’s using both windows XP and windows 7 using the method above .

Quoted from thesav:

Anyone had any issue resetting high scores on v2.10? I’ve gone to Settings > Adjustments > High Scores and set the high scores to what I’d like, but they don’t seem to do anything. Am I missing something?

I’ll try adjusting mine tomorrow and see if I have the same issue.

Quoted from D-Piddy:

I am having a strange issue with my RFM. I made a post about it in the tech: modern games and haven’t had any traction. So I thought I would post here.
Every time I turn my RFM on and wait for it to boot, the sound will only work if I unplug and plug back in the audio cable on the front of the cpu in the back box. Video below.
I put a new CRT in it and things worked fine. During the boot sequence you could hear the speaker “pop” when the amp powered up and then the “bong” sound when the sound was initiated during the boot/test sequence.
A few days ago I noticed that when it finished booting there was no pop, bong, or sound after the initial test sequence.
The first thing I did was unplug the speaker connector from the front of the cpu and then plug it back it. The sound started working as soon as it was plugged back in.
-This only happens with a hard power cycle of the machine, a restart in the service menu will not cause the machine to lose sound.
-The LED on the front of the audio amp is solid-on the entire time.
-The light on the prism card is on as well.
-I have reseated the connecting cable between the prism and amp.
My thought is that the amp is not initializing the speakers during the boot sequence?
Any thoughts? Many thanks in advance for any information.

I would check the caps on the motherboard, if they are leaking it may be causing some of your issues.
