Thanks for the reminder and thanks to applejuice for this xmas gift!

I'm still running 1.5 and have never updated before. Are there any additional memory requirements or other install needs if you're running with original or updated/pinbox hardware?

Following up on the 2.0 update posts.

I had success using fupdate on win10 with this null modem

connected to this serial cable

Initially the door-serial-port connection was failing.
I found a thread mentioning how the serial port connections (com1/com2) were swapped inside the pin2k PC.
Sure enough, the db9 cable was connected to com2. Swapped and it worked!

My first few games with 2.0 have been great. Nice upgrades! THANK YOU applejuice !!!

After a power cycle, my RFM game has started forgetting it's settings. I've replaced the PC coin battery and the coin battery on the prism card. Any thoughts on what I might check? Perhaps the replacement battery was bad? Which one?

My coin-door COM port cable was misconfigured so I needed to flip the com port cable connections in the PC as well.

Both of these things sound very nice 'quality of life' improvements. I would love to see you do this.
But the work involved might outweigh the few number of people who would benefit or be willing to donate for the cause.
Pinsiders are cheap bastards until we're asked to pay $300 for glass or $400 for a $50 LCD display.

Thanks again for making these available. The battery I bought on Amazon was apparently DOA.

I've been chasing a ghost on my RFM for nearly a year.
It plays fine for several days and survives numerous cold-reboots, but after my game sits for several days, the game settings go haywire (language change, freeplay disabled, etc.). The door controls don't work, slam tilt message is onscreen, etc.

I've replaced both batteries twice. I replaced the driver board.
I've been assuming the problem lies somewhere in the coindoor connectors, harness, etc. but when I unplug coin door, it doesn't change slam-tilt message, etc.

Has anyone else seen this before?

As you say it aloud, that makes good sense. Naturally, I don't have a spare nor can I find one for sale now that I need.

I had planned to swap out the original computer/prism card but I REALLY want to leave the original CRT. Concerns over getting pinbox/nucore to support it properly is holding me back.

If your computer was made in the last 15 years, you may need a USB->serial cable. I also needed a M/F converter so the cable connected to the game's port inside the coin door.

Get a usb-serial port cable

Please, please, a version of this that supports output to CRT.

I understand it's (primarily) a matter of linux os display setup and not the emulator itself.
