FOR ANYONE INTERESTED, check out the amount of gamecode changes for the LE. Its the same for the PRO, or similar anyway.

V1.5 - April 27, 2012
=====================

  - Removed the definitions for the lower playfield end-of-stroke switches,
    as these have been removed and were never in any of the production games.
    So now they will no longer be reported in Tech Alert.
  - The upper playfield flippers were not being turned off during "Hells
    Bells" and "Highway To Hell" when the ball was held and the lower
    playfield was being played.  This has been corrected.
  - If the ball leaves a device while the lower playfield is being played,
    the upper playfield flippers will be turned back on.
  - More time was added to settle the bell eject after a kick.
  - Playfield multiplier now paused when the lower playfield is active.
  - Added backgrounds for "Hells Bells" and "Highway To Hell" lower playfield.
  - 2X, 3X, and jukebox song title lamp states are now displayed when the
    lower playfield is active.
  - Removed lamp effects that manipulated the G.I. relay.
  - Ball search for the bell magnet was not ignoring the bell opto switch
    and keeping it from scoring a hit on the bell.  This has been corrected.
  - Fixed a resource conflict with the song select G.I. backgrounds.  These
    now work as intended.

  - Completing all of the white note arrow shots during a song now adds 2.5M
    to the song jackpot.  This can be done any number of times.
  - Timers are now paused when the player is choosing a song.  (This fixes the
    issue of the ball saver timing down at the start of a new ball when the
    player plunges the ball into the jukebox and takes some time picking a new
    song.)
  - Added artwork for the start of "Hells Bells".
  - Added a sound for tilt.
  - All white note arrow shots completed during a song records 3 units of
    permanent progress (one time, adjustable), such that completing notes
    and changing songs will continually lock in higher scores for new songs.
  - Super loops no longer has any effect on whether the right control gate
    causes the ball to loop around, so if "Whole Lotta Rosie" or "You Shook
    Me All Night Long" are running, the ball will go into the pop bumpers.
  - Added jackpot information to the super loops award display effect.
  - Added sounds for "Let There Be Rock".
  - Cannon targets are now displayed in order of increasing score.
  - Added song jackpot to tour multiball.
  - Changed the lamp effect for a spinner hit during "War Machine".
  - Added a sound for the War Machine bay doors opening.
  - Lowered spinner scores.
  - Changed bell target hit artwork.  The new art includes the AC/DC logo on
    the bell.
  - Fixed an issue with transitioning from the shooter groove music to the
    main play music.  The main play music would cut off the very beginning
    of the shooter groove music if the ball was on the playfield during
    the first bar of the shooter groove music.
  - Added the car dip animation to the bumper hits for "You Shook Me All
    Night Long".  This fixes the bad rendering of the girls over the car on
    frames #3, #4, and #5.
  - Added a sound for hitting the T.N.T. targets during T.N.T.
  - Added more information to song collect display effects when the song is
    selected.
  - Fixed mode start text (vertical centering, it was off by 1 pixel).
  - Added T.N.T. start dots.
  - Cleaned up cannon lamp effects.
  - Added art to the "Bump 'N' Win" award display effect.
  - Added an animation for the start of "You Shook Me All Night Long".
  - Fixed up some mode key sounds.
  - Lowered the left ramp score during Rock N Roll Train.
  - Changed bonus.  The current formula is:
    (25K * number of songs lit
     +
     50K * number of songs played, +50K more if all white note shots for the
     song were completed)
    *
    bonus multiplier
    *
    (3 if triple bonus, 2 if double bonus).
  - Added sounds for skill shot, super skill shot, and highway to hell start.
  - Added art for "Let There Be Rock".

  - Added bell flasher to multiball super jackpot cannon shot.
  - Changed mode collect scoring.  If the song is NOT changed, the bonus
    is: (50K * # of songs lit) + an additional (200K) if all 11 songs have
   been lit.  If the song IS changed, the bonus is (500K * # of songs
   completed) + (50K * # of songs lit) + an additional 200K if all songs
   that have not been completed have been lit.
  - Fixed audit names so they fit on the display.
  - Added loop jackpot, combo jackpot, and target jackpot to the cannon
    awards.
  - Changed the priorities of the mode pop bumper award display effects so
    they would not cut off the top lane display effects.
  - Lowered train combo score.
  - Added title messages to skill shot and super skill shot.
  - Fixed skill shot "items" text error.
  - Cannon mode was not being marked solid properly.  This has been
