hey all, I have a thread like this on maaca and pinside, so I won't be updating the whole thing here, but long story short: I fricking love it when people take old games and update the code for them. There are SO MANY amazing layouts in old machines that with just a few ROM tweaks (and/or a massive re-write with a Raspberry Pi or PROC board!) become an entirely refreshing and exhilarating experience.

Please go check my threads, you might be surprised to find which of your machines have code updates available:

Here is a quick list of code updates available right now at the time of me posting, ordered by year of game release...

Missed this post originally. Very cool!

Johnny Mnemonic would totally benefit from a code update.

Love the idea of updates and kits like Bride of Pinbot 2.0 and Funhouse 2.0.

Really interested to see if Lyman Sheats and Josh Sharpe end up working on code for games other than Cactus Canyon… Considering Sheats did the original code for all of CGCs previous remakes it would make sense. I’d totally buy a code update for my AFMr!
