I'm about to pick up an Emerald with 1.0 board issues. The game comes with the 2.0 kit, but it might take me a while to free up the time to do the install.
I'm wondering if in the interim, if it's possible (and makes sense) to replace the old boards with the same parts just to get it up and running?
Can anyone shed light on this. Could I just figure out what 1.0 boards are bad, and just get a 1.0 replacement for them?
Quoted from Nokoro:Yes, you can diagnose the boards using the method in the manual and figure out which are bad. JJP can sell you the older boards. Or, you can find someone who recently did the 2.0 conversion and buy their old boards off of them assuming they are working. Depending upon how many are out on your game, the latter might be cheaper as buying the individual boards can be expensive.
My 2 cents, just do the conversion. It will take 12 hours plus or minus, but you can spread it out over many days and do it in chunks so it is more manageable. I wouldn’t waste your money on buying replacement 1.0 boards if your are ultimately going to convert.
What's the difficulty rating on doing the 2.0 install? Is it pretty straight forward, just time consuming?
Does the JJP instructions cover everything? And drilling into the pf required?
Thanks 
Is there a recent update on this game? If so, wondering if it puts the final wizard mode more in reach?
Quoted from pinballinreno:Sorry.
SOTR is sadly out of reach for more mortals.
Quoted from merccat:I pretty much consider melting the witch to be the grand finale for me... and I’m ok with that. I’m glad theres a little something else in there for the ones who can control the ball with their minds.
Haha, I like that last bit about controlling the mind control!
But just seems like a waste of code if only Keith Elwin and Robert Gagnon are going to see it.
Just kind of wish it was slightly more doable, so that above average players might one day get a chance to see it.
It's a gorgeous game though... Just waiting for someone locally to let go of a nice example
Considering a ECLE with light boards that are 7.5 revision 2.
We're there issues with these that will eventually require the 2.0 kit upgrade?
Quoted from pinballj:Sorry meant to quote you in my last post too..but I have had some connector related issues (same light boards you mentioned), but has been solved twice with just reseating the data connectors. I am tempted to order the 2.0 light kit just to have it, but the game plays perfect and I rather play than take it all apart right now
I recall reading that everyone at some point will need the 2.0 lights, bit wanted to know if these 7.5 rev 2 were problematic.
