Quoted from KSP1138:

It doesn't really matter if you are connected to the internet or not. If you swap SD cards that contain non-IC modified code and newer IC enabled code you shouldn't need to worry at all imo. There would need to be a mechanism in the hardware by which the IC enabled code could identify that a non-IC enabled modified SD card was used previously. And if they could do that, the IC enabled code could brick your machine, network or no network.

If they really want to stop modified code it would be easier for them to encrypt the SD card image and make it so the hardware would only run the encrypted images once you boot up with a newer version, if their current platform even supports that. I can't think of any reason they would go through the trouble because there's no financial incentive. Maybe if the licensors are giving them grief about it?

DirecTV could brick/loop hacked cards, and as the article mentions only went after the cards not the hardware itself. I'm told people would swap between hacked and non-hacked cards without detection, since nothing was flagged on the boxes. I'm guessing their estimates for the number of cards they took out with their big attack was based on the number of new subscribers right after that since they had no way of knowing otherwise.

Quoted from KSP1138:

I'll be getting a newly built premium soon with IC pre-installed and probably 1.05. Will swapping SD cards between the 1.03/1.05 versions update the node boards to the proper firmware each time automatically? And I'm assuming that 1.03 has no issues with the IC node board being installed and just ignores it?

Quoted from coasterguy:

Dumb question, What size card will I need for the custom code guys? I Need to pick one up. All new to me, Thanks!

Click on the file but, it will not UNZIP for anything. so I can use belenaetcher 1.5.76 to flash
Anyone know how to get this unzipped on a mac. I have looked back and using terminal kinda scares me. lol When he says "Brick your mac" lol

Quoted from ToddSonOfOdin:

Odd issue. My Trex roar sound cuts out, same spot, 2 times whenever it plays. Short of reburning image - any ideas?

Quoted from tokyo0709:

Just got the custom code up and running on our JP Pro last night on a separate SD card and it works great. I did notice however that everytime we switch from the Custom Code 1.03 back to the Original Code (IC) 1.05 that the Node boards perform an update. It all works fine but I'm wondering if there will be an issue updating the boards so frequently. I have young kids at home so I'd like to keep them on the OOTB code and then potentially switch in the evenings when my Wife and I want to play. Any thoughts on that?

Quoted from sushko:

I asked my son what would you rather have custom code or IC. He said CUSTOM CODE, Smart kid. I am thinking of getting a second SD card because of home team and not needing the reader on every game. Sad to here it's not looking good for a update.

Quoted from Only_Pinball:

Good news! You can have both. You just wont be able to have the latest version that supports the new home team feature.

Quoted from scootss:

What is the latest version with the movie sounds & video? I think I may have an old(er) version...

Quoted from ELTANK01982:

I got a JP Pro on Friday, it had a usb and memory card in the coinbox. I put the memory card in yesterday which installed the movie code. Today I used the usb which updated the game to 1.05 but it has reset to original code.
How do I go back to movie code? timlah79 can you help?

Quoted from MrMikeman:

You can’t “go back”. You need to get the movie code from Tim and write a new SD card.
Never ever update when you have custom code installed.

Quoted from Megarush:

Just got my Pro set up yesterday, other than pinging Tim to gain access to the code and finding an SD card to put it on is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to find a way to downgrade the machine from 1.06 beforehand? Sorry for the beginner questions

Quoted from timlah79:

PSA: With the release of JP 1.06 (and likely other IC supported version updates coming after), supporting custom A/V (Audio / Visual) for JP seems to have sadly reached its end. Please don't PM me asking for an update nor send me a new request. I won't respond. If you already have a modded version I worked on, please enjoy it. If your JP has IC hardware, you can experience all the cool IC stuff Stern is doing but you'll have to run stock code to have those benefits.
In the wise words of Ian Malcolm (from the original JP movie): 'You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you wanna sell it.'
If that's not a completely relevant, ironic Jurassic Park movie quote to the lack of original licensing for the JP pin, I dunno what is. I had to call that out, sorry. Please don't take me quoting that as if I know anything about what it takes to produce a pinball machine. It's simply sad to me that HUO owners are now unable to tweak their games to their liking and I do personally feel that JP licensing was "rushed out the door" if that makes sense. I also get it that times have changed. In general though, I think we all need to understand that licensing and licensors do have a huge bearing on what machines are able to be made. That bearing allows pin manufacturers to create new machines in the manner they should. While I feel like Stern dropped the ball on JP movie content, I'm confident that will not be an issue in future games. I think Stern has been doing a great job since JP. Thankfully, the JP gameplay itself is frickin' amazing thanks to Elwin. Which is why I'll be keeping my JP for a while.
I'm glad the A/V work I've done on JP has made the game more enjoyable for you and your families. Thank you all for your kind words and sharing with me your sentiments and family stories. I read and listen to them all. It's messages you've sent, describing happiness which has made this whole almost 3 year saga worth pushing forward to improve and support version after version.
I guess this is basically a goodbye for now. Keep flipping my friends.

Quoted from Eagle14:

Can anyone pm me a link to download please? Tim replied day Ng he won't send any links anymore.

Quoted from jedi42:

This poses an excellent question, which I dont think Tim addressed in his post. If he is not supporting it any longer, does that mean people can distribute the code themselves to others (which before he forbid), or does he still want people who already have it to keep it to themselves?

Quoted from PoMC:

Once you have it, it’s yours to do with what you please.

Quoted from finman2000:

That's not what people agreed to before they were given the code.

Quoted from PoMC:

It was included when I bought my game from someone. It’s also advertised as a mod in everyone’s for sale ad.
Anyone can do whatever they want.
I have the latest version if anyone wants it and cannot get it.

Quoted from finman2000:

It's this kind of attitude that is a deterrent to the content creators of these type of projects.

Quoted from PoMC:

Doesn't deter me. I have freely provided all my custom updates for many games.
When I give someone the link, file or mail an SD card to them, ummm...yeah it's theirs. Imposing restrictions or trying to enforce pirating of a pirated product (custom code using copywrited material) is a joke.
