Successfully updated to v2.50. The hardest part was craning my neck to see the monitor.
Fantastic work by @myPinballs for his dedication to this Pin, the hardware and software updates really enhance the playing experience, donation incoming.

If you go into the file manager - you have a LED file that you enter what positions you have fitted LED lamps and it takes these out of the lamp test (as the software sees LEDs as broken lamps).
Also if you put the backglass underneath the screen and rest it on the two black metal things - the monitor reflects on that.
If you are running pinbox plug in another monitor - and the function keys on the keyboard do this:
F1 This will exit the emulator.
F2 This will toggle screen flipping (useful for repairs)
F3 (-) Fine adjust – light timing
F4 (+) Fine adjust – light timing
F5 (-) Coarse adjust – light timing
F6 (+)Coarse adjust – light timing

Thanks for the info. I wondered why it was complaining about the lamps in the diagnostics menu.
I'd seen the tip about using the backglass when the glass is out on the official Pin2000 video. Neat little trick as I would never have thought of that.

*requires new hardware to operate.
@myPinballs Hi Jim I want to wait until your newer boards are out before doing the upgrades but what's the correct shaker for rfm?
Cheers

Same here. Would like some more information on new physical lock hardware please.
Stern SAM without the PCB and Stern Spike 1/2 should both work ok.
Thanks Chris 
Just to check @myPinballs with this note in the Code update information
"
Game Changes
**This update and updates higher will require the full 4 opto pcb hardware expansion to operate correctly**"
Does that mean I cant run the 2.60 versions without the 4 opto board or can the options been turned on/off like with the 2.50 for the 6 ball trough/shaker etc.

Because of the way switch optos work the new opto hardware is required for this update and future updates. Discounts are available to upgrade older 6 ball trough only boards if you already own one.
Got my 6 ball trough April 2023 from you. Can you tell me cost of upgrade?
