[QUOTE="Roo, post: 108147, member: 3068"] When using it with vPinMAME in Visual Pinball, it can display most alphanumeric displays quite nicely. I believe the PinDMD board that drives the DMD does some sort of conversion. Hopefully that will apply to Farsight's ROM emulation in the same way. I've gotten that sense a little bit in the past, but there are certainly those who are interested. One guy who was there when I was didn't sound like he was familiar with it much beforehand but said he'd definitely buy a cabinet once the full TPA cabinet package was out. I think there are more and more people who are getting into real pinball because of pinball video games. I was one of them a few years ago. I think even if you own real pins there's an advantage to having 40+ other tables (including some rare ones) available digitally as well. I have to say, today was the first time I played a lot of games with a shaker motor in them and it made a bigger difference than I thought. Got to play Metallica, AC/DC, Star Trek, Roadshow, Attack From Mars, Harley Davidson and Jurassic Park Lost World with one. I would definitely want to add one to my cab if TPA supported it. Other things... they didn't have the nudging or plunger (not that STTNG uses it) working when I was there. They said it was working earlier but stopped at some point. Obviously they haven't really had a chance to work on it yet. They also mentioned that they'd like to do some backglass stuff, at least for the tables that need it like Scared Stiff and Taxi. (Fingers crossed for Banzai Run someday... ;)) I also got to play a demo of the PS4 version. The lighting on it was cool; as you guys know that will come to the PC version eventually. The PS4 controller is much-improved over the PS3 controller in my opinion, by the way. I will say it was great talking to some of the Farsight employees today. You could tell they were really passionate about pinball and about what they were doing. I can't wait for the cabinet version of TPA! :D [/QUOTE]
