[QUOTE="Brian Clark, post: 12247, member: 49"] I hope the ROM emulation for older tables does get sorted out, but the answer from Farsight is very disappointing in reguards to both this and the operator settings. I understand they are a small company and this is tricky stuff, but developers should be equipped to handle tricky stuff. They really need to step up their game when it comes to bug testing. Personally, I would like both older and newer tables for the variety. I disagree that they should stay with only the newest since many older tables have very different rule sets from newer tables. Also, while some Sterns are exteremly good, others are just average. Personally, I feel they should get the ROM emulation sorted out before making older tables, even if it is risky, espeically with the confusion over Black Hole's ruleset (it was inaccurate, made more accurate, and is inaccurate again). While you can play older tables with VP and FP, Pinball Arcade has advantages over both. Also, some of those other games like Microsoft Pinball Arcade don't have the best physics for some tables (tried the demo with Haunted House and the physics are definiltely off). Pinball Arcade is trying for accurate tables, so that is what I want to see, older or newer. I'm not saying that Farsight shouldn't focus mainly on newer/more popular tables, but I feel they do need to put more focus on older tables if they want to get them right. [/QUOTE]
