I was looking around for an LE, but the only thing I could find left was old new stock and I didn’t want to take the pooling risk. So I closed my eyes and bought a late model CE. It should be here in a week or so. I’ve already ordered pinstadium neo’s for it (and WOZ, while I was at it). Any other must have mods? Once GNR shows up I’ll have the entire JJP line up. Unfortunately I don’t have a row long enough in my arcade to keep them all together . First world problem, I know. The arcade is keeping me sane this year while isolating.

Wow, that’s quite the list! Thanks for sharing.

I did the same thing, but only on one side. I’ve never had this problem before. I’m ordering protectors...

Seriously? Crap.. if I discover I have them in my cab I’m going to be even more annoyed.

I’m trying to upgrade from 1.34 to 1.38 via the Internet. Image downloaded and verified quickly but the update has been hanging for 30 min so far. I suspect it will never finish. Anyone else?

Thanks for the fast reply, as usual

So I gave on the network after trying it a few times. I've now also tried:

1. USB delta update method - twice, with different size/speed USB sticks
2. USB full upgrade method - three times, with different size/speed USB sticks. Once using a windows machine to create the image, once with a Mac, and roofus and unetbootin. All get to "mounting /dev/usb" but then eventually boot into the game code instead of the updater. However, once it's in the normal bootloader it's too late for the full install anyway.

On a whim, I created a virtual machine on parallels and booted the image ... and it works. So the USB stick is good. Is there a chance the BIOS on the machine isn't set with USB as priority? I tried to test that theory by connecting a keyboard, but I can't get into the BIOS as it is password protected. I'm sure there is a jumper somewhere where I could reset everything and get past it, but that seems a bit extreme.

EDIT: I also tried a different USB port with the same results.

Any suggestions?

I'd probably be considered a computer expert, but I haven't played around with JJP machines at that level (yet, I guess). I could replace the SSD ... and since that wouldn't be bootable it may fall back onto the USB. That's a thought. In fact I should try booting without the SSD and see what happens.

fat32, MBR.

Already tried all of the above.

I just disconnected the SSD and it boots directly into the BIOS password screen. So I think I’m going to have to open a support case.
