By replacing the memory card (SD card) you are basically replacing the operating system on the pin. It loads this up every time you switch it on. When you are giving the machine back you just need to put the old card back in and turn it on , boom back the way you got it..
Had a good session today on Stranger Things and I have to say, I love this game a lot. It just keeps you coming back for more. I find some of the shots tight, but then I am not a great player by any stretch!
Very pleased with it!
Very pleased with it!

Cleland has ranted on pinside that he isn't doing anymore special versions because stern are making it too hard.
I don’t blame him, didn’t he just finish the v1.0?
D
Deleted member 2463
yup
I didn't read his comments as a rant, he said it sucks but he'll download it straight away and get started on it.

sounds rantish to me; but I understand where he is coming from but also understand Stern will have contractual requirement to protect other peoples IP.
Great update and an awesome set of updates from stern for the Xmas holiday On quite a few games
for me this shows a real amount of effort from the code team. Great work
and we now have a drawings high score and new rules to earn 2 drawings from each mode
Exactly the level of detail that got missed out of bksor

I did the hold both flippers press start and play final showdown mode.
I completed it first go, it wasn't particularly hard. Not sure why I'm so **** in open ball play to never get that far?

The old rule of thumb for making game updates was only work on games with hardware thats at least 1 release out of date, ie don't touch spike2 games yet. Pinball browser doesn't follow the rules though and this is what it gets. suck it up...
I don't blame stern for 'shutting this **** down' repeatedly.
Well, not updated to latest yet but I’ve had some good games since the break. (3 ball, 2eb) I guess I’m pretty consistent as get the same score and the same point into the game each time before it goes tits up 
(except for my 1 billion game on pre v1 software)

to download new code you have to now agree to an EULA! The EULA is hilarious 
Sorry, couldn't hear a word you were saying because of that Arcade sign motor 
.

Nice one mate.
To be fair I did have one game at 680m but struggle to get 100m most of the time.
I get get a rather epic score on Congo though
That sign sounds like a Chinook taking off! Nice one Gonzonator, good vid, I really gotta do my Jpark review.
Don't do a review mate...... we want to see it kicking your **** during gameplay in glorious HD

Spoiler alert. I think it's good.
Haha you should have tuned into my very high production quality phone stream the other day mate. I gave Nedry and chums a bloody good spanking . Absolute miracle...
I tried but you were in Facebookland and it required an application, a sign-up, a funny handshake and a pledge of 10% of my wages.

Loved the video it really shows your pain.No shame in 4 balls if it helps you get more from the game ,in my opinion.

its the arcade and the game fan, put the glass back on - brave on this game with the ramp
Thank you. I think it's the way to go really.
Wish me luck . . . . I'm going back in.
Your first game is how I play in the practice session of a league meet - your second is how I play when it counts
