	One thing that is worth mentioning is ~~that~~ when the game tests "Mouth Motor" (sol. 21), it is testing the mouth going down / open. Likewise, "Up/Down Driver" (sol. 22) tests the mouth going up / closed. During sol. 21 test, both the Q28 and Q30 transistors on the driver board are pulsed. Only Q30 is pulsed for sol. 22 test.

	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_Board_Repair_Services \|pinball tech]] can make this modification.

			Funhouse is one of the first games to use the basic WPC platform of WPC CPU and WPC power-driver board. Early versions used the System 11 sound board with an adapter. This version of the boardset is not compatible with the L9 software version. Later versions use the first WPC sound board. Funhouse is an alphanumeric display machine. It uses the "DISPLAY" header on the CPU board. Note that in WPC DMD machines, the DMD controller board connects to the AUX and I/O headers at the top of the CPU board. The DISPLAY connector is uses for auxiliary I/O in a DMD machine.
