[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 220468, member: 134"] I am relaying exactly what was communicated to me last night. Maybe [MENTION=3213]Mike Lindsey[/MENTION] or [MENTION=3799]FlippyFloppy[/MENTION] want to come here and elaborate more? As a reminder, this is exactly the exchange in Forum Questions With Bobby Pt. 1 from the BlahCade podcast #20: [B]Let’s flip that the other direction now, and talk about modern Stern tables. Apart from licensing issues, the emulation of S.A.M. machines has been said it can’t happen due to older devices and platforms not being able to handle the processing power needed. Are there plans in place to move forward on this? Is there a risk of FarSight losing part of the Stern license to someone like Zen due to not putting out an entire subset of their product? Does the new Spike system help or complicate matters?[/B] [I]BK - Stern would like to see more of their tables represented in digital form. Yes, there are plans - but I can't elaborate on the details quite yet. The Spike system is a new challenge, but I don't think it will prove to be any harder than emulating SAM.[/I] While not the clearest of answers, I think it gives good indication that FarSight is still working with Stern, and as far as I know, still has the license for all physical tables Stern makes.
