[FSPA] Anyone in NoVA had a Deadpool successfully updated to .84?

[Todd Yoder]

Thanks to info from Trent at Tilt Amusements I was able to install the .84 code update on Deadpool at VBH, by imaging it onto a new SD card.  The downside is that when you replace the SD card it resets all of the game settings, so it's not an ideal process.  

I do hope that Stern fixes the USB update process so that it works properly and doesn't require redoing all of the game settings after every update.

If some kind soul has a working .84 card and wants to come to CarPool tonight and let us use it for the launch party we'd appreciate it.  Probably buy you dinner and beers too. :)
