[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 239052, member: 3745"] This is the right answer. The underlying constraint is that TPA doesn't know what's going on inside the ROM. TPA can't set family mode on/off directly because it doesn't know where that flag is inside the ROM. Only the ROM itself can do that, via the operator menu. And once TPA lets you into the operator menu, TPA doesn't know what you're changing, it can't tell between a harmless setting like that or gameplay-relevant options. It is [i]possible[/i] for Farsight to find that family mode flag within each ROM on a per-table basis. That's how TPA reads the scores from each ROM. But Farsight has other priorities for their effort than the tiny minority of people who get themselves annoyed that their virtual pinball machine isn't swearing at them. [/QUOTE]
