Okay, so we have all been wondering if there is a "kit" or hack to turn a GT Fore boardset into GT Complete (2006). There is the Captain Pinball guy who is doing this for 275.00. So since I had a cheap GT boardset and I didnt want to pay 450 for a complete boardset so I sent it to Greg (aka Captain Pinball). I made sure to mark the whole board up and label and photo the boardset before sending it. Well it came back with two chips replaced and the harddrive reimaged. The two chips are the boot rom (masked eprom) and the so called security chip. Both chips had factory IT labels on them, which tells me that Captain Pinball hasnt hacked the boardset, but he has real IT upgrade kits. sooooooooo
Here is my plan, I am going to attempt to crack the atmel security chip and see if I can find the board serial number inside the code and change it to work on another board. If that works then hopefully I can make upgrade kits.
If anyone else has had any luck with this please let me know.
