Som Letterman fan så uppskattar jag toptio listor :-).

Det verkar hänt en del iom denna mjukvaru uppdatering.

Det är bara att bränna ner nya releasen i befintliga EPROMar (i det här fallet CPUprom + Displayprom) om man har en brännare, annars frågar man en polare (det gjorde jag)


LOTR på Playfield i Kista är iaf oxå uppgraderad (dock inte med "Directors cut" installerat)

Med "Directors cut" installerat så föregås FOTR numera av en fight mot mongotrollet i Moria (alla ramper och loopar är Jackpots) innan Balrogen dyker upp

Nämen vad bra! Fellowship-multibollen som var så enkel att klara av i ursprungligt format - NOT!
(för jag misstänker att man fortfarande ska basha balrog och rampa gubbarna över bron?)

Såg precis att Keith P Johnson berättat att de släpper den CPU Release 5.0 på måndag, så det är väl snarast den som vi vill åt
:-)

  Victory Laps
- Corrected display bug in ROTK multiball that would cause already-shot
  jackpots to stay on the display if the jackpot multipliers had been
  increased.
- Changed some event lamp effects to mask off KEEP, POTD, and FOTR lamps.
- Changed FOTR multiball lamp effect to reflect the # of people that have
  crossed the bridge.

Jag tycker det låter som femman har en hel del mycket bra korrigeringar! Bl a att kulan inte åker upp i PotD under multibollarna. Finns det hopp om att våra glada utställare orkar byta rom igen?

MCR: Ikväll byter vi till 5.00 på Kåren.
