      Sorry. Typo. I put usb in and everything seemed fine at first then in red on the screen it says Game Code Update and below that says Resuming. For a very long time. Wasn’t sure what to do and couldn’t find info online except to make sure it’s in Fat32 format. So I turned off machine and took stick out and rechecked usb and zip file. Inserted it into the other USB port and
      this time it worked. Weird.

    Nice tutorial! Thanks. Do you recommend a certain type of flash drive? Size, version, and brand? Like a sandisk 3.0 32GB for example? Or would any smaller size work? Thanks bud!

    Thanks for posting this video 1st of all, my last Stern was a Batman66(sold it) and now I’m getting a Jaws so I’m not familiar with Stern recently,, so I have a question please… this is the only way to update or Stern did the same as JJP and can be Wi-Fi, of at least theres a way in the coin door to do it?… Thank you in advance and most important… I’m subscribed!😎

    Why don't you show unlocking the face and pulling the translite out? IT'S NOT THE SAME KEY THAT OPENS THE COIN DOOR!!! How do you take the translite out??

    • @ArcadePinballTalk
      @ArcadePinballTalk  13 днів тому

      You generally get 2 keys and one of them opens the Translite should be a lock on the front which allows the speaker area under the Translite to fold forward towards you to get the Translite out

      That’s very interesting some of the godzillas have a known issue with the coin door and or buttons. Sometimes it’s as easy as turning the game off sometimes you need new buttons.

    MAC OWNERS READ THIS: You have to format your USB stick to MS-DOS FAT(32). The game will not be able to read a Mac OS Extended USB stick which would be your default format.

      Some newer machines show that. Let it sit for a bit.. if that does not work RE download the code and make sure it is the complete code on a thumb drive and reinstall. This happened on a TMNT I purchased and it finally took it

    Do you need to download the code on a USB or does the code is being installed automatically when the pinball machine is updating itself?

    • @ArcadePinballTalk
      @ArcadePinballTalk  11 місяців тому

      Some of the newer machines connect to wifi and can update that way , whereas older machines that do not have that ability need to update by using the USB stick and downloading the code from the stern site 👍

      @@ArcadePinballTalk basically it gets stuck on game code update - resuming, and it will keep rebooting the game. for an example I was trying to update my Black Knight Sword of Rage seeing its on 1.0.0 to the newest one, and it got stuck on saying that. It boots up saying "Stern Pinball" then it after a second it says "resuming update" and then it repeats that until you power off the game, take the stick out. And it'll revert back to 1.0.0 🤷‍♂

    What if you get a invalid factory config error on the pin code upgrade?

    • @ArcadePinballTalk
      @ArcadePinballTalk  3 роки тому

      Not a big deal.. go back to your stick.. delete everything on it.. make sure to download the non readable version of the code.. once downloaded to your computer double click on the download and it should unzip and show you 1-2 files.. copy to your thumb drive whatever is there.. go back to your steen machine and follow the steps again.. sometimes the code does not all the way go through or there is an error in the download.. also if it goes through a node board check let it occur and wait and be patient.. it may restart it may not.. if it does not and just sits there then power off power on again and see if it RE downloads this happened to me on turtles.. it reinstalled and worked fine all boards checked off.. again.. if it has an issue easiest path past this is RE download code and redo. Let me know how that goes!

      Sometimes it takes a while.. it may turn off also. Just turn off after a bit and restart and sometimes the new code will come on. Worst case you may need to re download it
