[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 260524, member: 134"] Everything that's already been said, plus this... With emulation, it's not just the rules of the game playing exactly as they should, but also sound and lighting. There are light patterns that scripting just doesn't cover unless the person writing the script is VERY familiar with ever possible combination the lights run in. Sound is a little easier to script for, but there are still instances where certain sounds cancel or override other sounds, and unless again you know every variation, it's not gonna be accurate. As mentioned, with the EMs this isn't much of an issue. Follow the relay chain, you can reproduce what happens when. With solid state machines, it's a whole other ball of wax. Black Hole was a mess before emulation, with certain rules being wholesale wrong. Black Knight is a pale shadow of itself. Gorgar and Firepower are alright, but they miss some nuances that should be there. [/QUOTE]
