DMD Vs. Score Reels On The HUD For Whoa Nellie

[PiN WiZ]

Hey guys, we need your help with feedback on what you think should be used on the HUD for Whoa Nellie...DMD or Score Reels. We have a very short amount of time to make our case for the communities preference so please vote asap. Thanks.

I picked score reels because, duh, it's an EM and needs that flavor! Plus I hate how FarSight has been using the version of DMD that doesn't have dots but instead blends it all together.

Score reels because, well, isn’t that what the actual machine uses? I thought Farsight was trying to make these tables as accurate as possible.

Definitely, Reels.

I'm not even sure why a DMD would be necessary if it would only be showing the score anyway. Reels.

WN is an SS table with an MPU for scoring but it does have EM reels for score displaying. This is true of the Stern version and 3 of the 4 WhizBang tables (one of them is pure EM).

So score reels, because they're authentic.

What would be on the dmd? Score reels?

No, it’s just the score and ball number

I also would prefer it be kept as close to the real machine as possible. Score reels please.

 

[ksmmspt]

Score Reels for sure!

 

[FlippyFloppy]

No, it’s just the score and ball number

Player Number as well.

Score reels, would need to have ball# counter represented somehow as well.

So glad they listened to our feedback.

So glad they listened to our feedback.

The option to toggle between the DMD and score reels is coming in the next update. The score reels will be the default setting.

Thanks for the heads up. That actually is good news then.

I am actually pretty curious to see an explanation from one of the three people that voted for the DMD...

so mentioned this in the blahcade thread
the whoa nellie / can crusher machines actually have a small LCD in the lover left apron of the machine (near where the rules card is) - FS is emulating that as the main score display (also why its doesn't look like a DMD)
it is useful during multiplayer games because it displays all the players scores as the backglass only has one score reel that only displays that players score when its their ball

suggestion - display the score wheel by default, with option to display lcd below it in single player, and default on doing multiplayer games.
