I guess you could leave a third ball in the outhole, like some later gottliebs did, to get away with not doing any Trough modifications. Would still need major changes to the rom though...

So the game doesn't know if there's three balls in the trough when it's first booted?

Quoted from slochar:
I hadn't realized JL was only 2 ball MB I thought it had an option for 3 like Pharoah does. Unless Pharoah also doesn't and I'm misrembering.

Pharaoh is also two ball.
