[QUOTE="Sinistar, post: 12215, member: 683"] Ok so Im a new guy here , and from reading this , I learned they are using programming from the original tables in the game "ROMS" , which then has to be "fooled' into thinking it's still being used without the actual hardware and mechanics present. Which is causing more than average CPU work , which makes the game a tightrope walk of complexity. So this makes for a amazing simulation (as we can tell) but also makes certain additions into the game over-tax the game console's hardware computations and has the potential to act up in undesired ways. Which is one reason the game is so "pure" and does not try to "add" to the original tables , beyond some very simple options. Very interesting..... [/QUOTE]
