OK, I just got my XL Display upgrade package by UPS yesterday and installed it this morning.
Some small notes.
When upgrading to software v 3.0.0 the instructions on CGC website do not specify you have to extract the downloaded file using 7zip or similar to the .img file. That may not be obvious to the non-techie person.
No issues upgrading to 3.0.0
The install booklet that came with the kit was pretty good, but was missing two steps:
Remove the green ground wire from the right hand speaker before removing the old panel.
Install the new green ground wire from the new XL panel to the ground braid in the backbox. The new one is on the left side of the panel rather than the right, and was twisted in with the other wiring and had to be freed.
OK, one question.
Now that I have done the upgrade, I still have the old color display panel I have no real use for.
Has anyone done and work on figuring out how to repurpose this to maybe add a color display to an old WPC game?
Before anyone gets their knickers in a twist, no, I was not expecting to be able to do this and I am not bitching about CGC's upgrade path in any way.
I'm happy to be able to upgrade my MMr and nothing was ever promised.
That being said, it would be fun to able to do something useful with the old color display/speaker panel.
Shame to just let it sit.
I ordered and paid in full for this XL Display over 6 months ago. Nice to finally get it. Looks great, may need some adjusting.
