NCFI Tool

Introduction

The NCFI, Non-Controlled Firmware Installer, is a tool used to update the firmware on a cabinet while in the field. It is a simple and effective tool to use.

Class 3 games are setup to run the NCFI tool but you may need to remove the SATA cable from the SSD if it doesn’t run as expected.

Class 2 games will require the System CF SATA cable to be connected to the Top Left port on the 2015 logic box.
