that’s the generic set up menu that now comes on all new stern games nothing secret about that
According to the guy i know who makes them, the board i am using in my Kiss for the original Spike can be modded by soldering an extra wire and removing the CN2 plug from the spike 2 board, he can't quite work out at the minute why it's not working on Spike 1 because he does not have a US machine to test with but he told me he had it working on a Beatles game which i believe is Spike 2.
How much duty are you looking at for the X-Men? I can't work out the import rate/code for importing pins to UK.
Got a rare one I'd like but shipping and duty will probably make it uneconomical.
. Doesn't matter, just found this calculator..... and appears about £500 import tax with shipping on top (!) so it's a non-starter.https://www.simplyduty.com/import-calculator/

Yeah it was about 780 for Xmen. I got lucky the day it was measured was the highest the pound had been against the dollar for a while.

.... I'm still getting a shipping quote but probably wasting my time considering it... pin would probably have to be half the asking price to compensate.
Thought as much... who with?
Dont forget - you get charged duty on the shipping costs as well !
I work it on:
cost price + shipping price
Then add 25% on top
This usually covers everything.

Ouch.
Does anybody know if there is an update to the importing a stern (EHOH), is it a spike 2 cpu required, or does the hack below work, or has there been progress on the Stern secret settings?
Jim mypinballs.com has a conversion board on his site to trick the CPU.
Works for Spike 1/2 and SAM games with additional mods.

Think the hertz mod was made obsolete by the latest code updates but may be wrong
Does that mean it's no longer needed or no longer works with the latest firmware?
They tried to make it obsolete before but that was fixed with a software update on the hertz board.
Same would apply if it happened again.

Think the latest code updates the bios to make the board obsolete I would assume there will be a cure for it though just more hoops to jump through
I know a guy who can reprogram the spike2 CPU board's region - PM me for details.
