It's the first time that the PS console owners are being listened to and helping fix the game.. humour isn't needed
Some tables have the lighting on the backglass blown out like Scared Stiff and Lights...Camera...Action just to name a few and some tables have the actual cutouts (inserts) on the playfield blown out to where you can't see/read the textures on them when they are lit like on The Getaway : High Speed II and I'm not sure changing the bulb brightness will affect the lighting on the backglass or cutouts. There are more tables with these issues but I'll need time to go through them all which won't be til this weekend.
I do have to ask -- is Tom the only guy at FS who works on the PS4 releases? I wonder what sort of QA team FS has at its disposal. If they don't do this already, I think they should give TPA with all its tables new and old to a panel of kids -- interns or relatives of FS staffers, perhaps. Let the kids play the tables to death and find the bugs before we paying customers do. I don't get frustrated about some of the more esoteric bugs, like a ball flying out of the table after you send it up the right ramp five times in a row or something like that, but I do get peeved about some of the more obvious bugs, like starting Elvira and Fireball in the recent update and crashing the game. THAT shouldn't happen when the game arrives in the hands of consumers...
Thanks for the support everyone. Just wanted to get my story out once.
Really quick question though: so I've been changing the lighting so that the slider actually makes a big difference. 0 is off and 100 is close to blown out. When you guys express your disappointment with the lighting, what do you refer to? Do you refer to how it looks with default values (the percentages) or how the lighting looks when it's 100. I'm assuming you refer to how it looks at 100. I'm just asking before I've changed all 90 some tables and realized I didn't do it properly.
Anyways, here's an update on the bugs I fixed so far since 1.20, so no one has to mention them anymore:
-Fixed Elvira and the Party Monsters crash
-Highscores are being properly read in now
-Lighting settings are being properly read in
-Bulb brightness saves now
-Fireball doesn't crash on loadup
Last Action Hero is STILL missing it's Match Game. This has been promised to have been fixed for a few years now, but was never done so.
It's a shame, too, cause it's a really cool and funny Match Game.

One of the cool things about TPA is when moderators come here to keep us up to date on what's happening. Mike, Flippy, and Brandon, among others, have always been helpful and attentive to our immediate needs. Now Tom seems to be feverishly working to give PS4 owners some long overdue TPA respect.
I'm not above coming back to the PS4 version (I do have the first four seasons w/pro). I'm considering getting a PS4 to replace the one I sold well before Arcade Archives gained any traction (live and learn LOL!). I'll be stopping by the PS4 forum to check up periodically.
Wow! Been playing through some TPA all day and into tonight.....that bulb brightness is some serious eye-rape, eh? I mean it's like BLAZING, even at 0%. Whew! That's hard to deal with.....and it's like that on EVERY table I've played so far. If they rush out a patch, all it really needs RIGHT NOW is to fix the two table crashes and that insane bulb brightness. Seriously, those two things should be the absolute priority for the next patch update. Fix other stuff in later patches, but rush that bulb and crash fix out as quickly as possible, because it's really ruining my enjoyment.
