Funhouse 2.0 is a kit to upgrade existing Funhouse machines by replacing the DMD and translite artwork
high confidence · Direct explanation of the product: 'Funhouse 2.0 kit. Now that is a remake then? Okay... Pedretti Gaming came out with a kit that will convert your Funhouse into Funhouse 2.0'

high confidence · Verified through chat: 'November 8, 1990' when checking original release date
Funhouse does not have an auto shooter, requiring manual plunging during multiball
high confidence · 'It never had an auto shooter. So if you get into a multi-ball, multi-ball, multi-ball, multi-ball, it's like Tales of the Arabian Nights or World Cup Soccer where you have Tee'd Off plunge your own things.'
Funhouse 2.0 has deeper rules than the original despite effectively unchanged core gameplay
high confidence · 'So the answer is yes. But it's deeper than the original, but it's effectively the original.'
The Funhouse 2.0 DMD is an unusual resolution of 1280 by an undisclosed dimension
medium confidence · 'So it's 1280 by something ridiculous. It's 1280 by ridiculous.'
Pedretti Gaming previously completed an Addams Family conversion kit for these streamers
high confidence · 'The last game that they redid for us was Addams Family. They did a beautiful job on Addams Family. Amazing job. And then this one, Funhouse. They redid everything.'
Funhouse 2.0 allows switching back to original Funhouse ROM/software through a software switch
high confidence · 'Now, if you have a Funhouse 2.0 kit, but you want Tee'd Off play original Funhouse, you can. And I'll show you guys how Tee'd Off do that.'
