Game-Specific Issues
Upgrading to L-9 ROMs The latest version of the Funhouse game ROM is L-9. With this version the game ROM has increased to a 2M ROM from a 1M ROM. A jumper on the WPC board must be moved to use the larger ROM. The jumper at W2 must be removed and a jumper at W1 must be added. This is a somewhat simple board repair but if you do not have board soldering experience any pinball tech can make this modification. A detailed explanation of this process can be found at John Wart's pinball website. as well as a discussion at rec.games.pinball.
Servicing Funhouse and Roadshow Heads Full of tricky, but now-available parts, these heads are straightforward to service. There still seems to be an issue with poorly-made jaw gears that fracture early in service.
Lowering the Volume Past the Minimum By default the game volume will go no lower than '8' to prevent an operator from setting the volume too low. This can be overridden by entering the adjustments menu and setting Adjustment 28 (Minimum Volume Override) to yes. You can now set the volume as low as you like.
