[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 175557, member: 3745"] You're thinking of goal detection, which TPA does do in many cases by analyzing the output to the DMD image. That's why so many tables fail to register certain wizard goals during multiballs, when there's other things going on on the display. But score rollover isn't done by image analysis. For example, TPA can detect rollovers on CFTBL that are usually caused by a jackpot whose animation takes up the screen. It could only do this by monitoring the internal state of the ROM to see when its score rolls over. It's not dependent on display. The original post is just asking for TPA to show its detected count of rollovers during a game, so you know where your score is. A hearty +1 for that feature here. Heck I'd just bring it out to the main game screen near the score/DMD display, no need for a menu item. [/QUOTE]
