hi!

Is it possible to rebuild a Impact JPM machine (indiana jones) that have pipe-payout to use hoppers?

and, do anyone know about a way to edit the software, and is this difficult?

thanks!

I could probably convert a tube machine into a hopper system (assuming someone else could do the woodwork/metalwork to make it all physically fit..)


I could do the electronics, and make it payout the right amounts, but there is more to it than that. Also I could not convert the software to make the machine realise it has a hopper instead of tubes.......... Thats where the problem lies... Could probably work around that problem though, but it would not be cheap, why do you want to convert it anyway?

Its not easy to convert the software, unless you have access to the source code, which would mean you would have to have worked for the company that made the machine, or be friendly with someone that did.....

Or be a sad tw(t that has no life, and is prepared to spend many years figuring it out just to do one little thing...... I would not bother trying to figure it out, unless there is *lots* of money in this.

Personally I love the old payout system, used to love the noises the machines made when they paid out, it got the attention of everyone in the room, now its silent, and well, boring.
