1. Locate and remove the USB thumb drive from your Pinsound board.
2. Right click on an open area on your desktop, scroll down to NEW, click on Folder, and name it
something like “WWTC USB Updates”
3. Download the software from the following link and put it in your newly created folder:
4. Plug your USB drive into your computer, when the window opens; select Drive Tools at the top,
click on Format, (make sure Fat 32 is selected and that the Quick Format box is checked), then click
on Start.
5. Once your USB drive is formatted (to Fat32), then go back into your newly created folder on your
desktop, and drag/drop “pinball-ww-070.code” into your USB drive.
Note: ---> Be sure that the file name is exactly the same as written above, and that it doesn’t include
something like (1) or (2) in the file name after you drag/drop it to your USB drive.
- An example that would be incorrect would be “pinball-ww-070.code(1)” or “pinball-ww-070.code(3)
6. After you copy the ”pinball-ww-070.code” file to your USB drive, unplug it from your computer
and reinsert it into the Pinsound board.
7. Plug your machine back into the wall, power on, and your update will complete within 10
minutes.
8. Once you see that it has been completed, please power off your game, wait 15 seconds, then
power it back on, congratulations, and enjoy!!!
9. Now that your software is updated, let’s make sure that you have the current firmware. The
correct firmware is VER1.25 as shown below. If you currently have it installed, your display will be look
like this when you enter the menu and no need to continue:
10. If you don’t see version 1.25 as above, you will need to update the firmware on your USB drive.
To do this, please insert the USB drive into your PC, and drag and drop the following firmware file onto
it. There is no need to format the USB drive; but rather just put the firmware onto it with the other
files.
11. Power on your machine, push/release the Program button on the fast board if prompted, let
the update complete itself, and then power cycle your machine after the install is complete.
12. If you receive a “CPU Connection” error message after powering on, please remove the USB
drive and drag/drop the firmware file onto it and try again (we are working on a solution for this
occasional hiccup).
Summary:

format it using Fat32 quick format only in your PC.
2. Download and drag/drop the below ”pinball-ww-070.code” onto your USB drive. Please make sure
that the file is named exactly as above once it’s on your USB drive.
