[QUOTE="Epsilon, post: 162385, member: 381"] Ah...yes, I see your point. I had kind of assumed that they had some license to make small modifications, but then I realized that the only thing I've seen of that nature is changing the custom messages on the DMD, and indeed those can be set via the ROM settings. Certainly the terms would probably preclude physically rendering the rubber bands or stoppers, but I wonder if they could get around that by simply enforcing collision detection via so-called "invisible walls." Surely Farsight isn't subject to any restrictions in terms of the specifics of the physics engine, so maybe they could implement this via an arbitrary "wink-and-a-nod" without physically changing the playfield. I mean, as an example, would it be a violation of the license terms if they, for instance, implemented The Power in TAF in a way that made the ball never go straight toward an outlane? I just doubt that the license holders would find something of this nature offensive, but who knows? [/QUOTE]
