As subject line.
Along with the two rows of screw terminals there are two rows of headers at the bottom centre of the PCB.
The control software originally installed is called WinIPAC 2 and the firmware is showing v1.31 so I am guessing it is the 2015 version.
Well that and the arcade coffee table has only just been built would indicate it should be the latest 2015 version although the PC was shipped way back on 28/6/2008 so no guarantee that is the newest version!
Is there an easy way to tell them apart visually?
And how easy is it to upgrade he firmware to v1.32 because when I go to do so it tells me I will have to run the program as Administrator (even though I am already) and it will reboot and automatically update the firmware?
I'm a little bit nervous here because if it's not the 2015 version I could brick the board!
Thanks & kind regards,

Have you tested it to see if the shift function works? Older versions don't have the shift function.. I.E. Hold down on player 1 and the joystick and fire buttons should then have the following actions:

You have the new version. I can tell by the mini USB connector. Also, I can see the I/O pins are the newer model. You should be using the new software on Ultimarc's site.
The older Ipacs did not have the mini USB. Additionally, the really old iPacs had an IC chip that was removable.
Hope this helped!
