[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 244190, member: 3745"] TPA can't do this. There is only one launch button. TPA can only "press launch" on the ROM in one way. TPA can't activate troll bombs separately from the plunger launch. Also, TPA doesn't know when the start of a ball is. It only knows that the ROM wanted to fire the trough eject kicker. This could be for the start of a ball, or could be for a ball save, or to launch balls for a multiball, or even both to ball-save during multi. The bug/misfeature is that touching anywhere on the right side of the screen to engage the right flipper also presses launch. This was probably deliberate design early on to simplify the UI for newbies (make sure they will launch a ball and start playing right away), but yeah this could and should have been cleaned up by now.
