What new tables will f.s bring us in 2014??

[Kolchak357]

Emulation of the newer Sterns might also be an issue. Not sure about this though.

Would they even have to emulate anything? Surely they can get the source code from Stern.

They don't emulate the source code of the game, they emulate the chipset that interprets the source code into commands and such.

In the expo seminar they specifically mentioned licenses with superheroes or anything Disney is unlikely. That's most of the recent Sterns.

Not getting "Indiana Jones" is just cruel. I can live without the "Star Wars" tables cause they're only mediocre to me, but not getting "Indy" just hurts. :-(

..which wouldn't be necessary if you had the source code to the game. The chips interpret compiled code, not the source code. Only thing that needs "emulating" are the drivers that control the game, such as light, switches, display, etc. stuff that wouldn't be any different from existing tables.

If it wouldn't be different from existing tables then why do you suppose that each system controller needs to be emulated separately?

 

[Sumez]

I can't imagine what "emulating the system controller" involves other than mapping the emulated CPU's signals to the game engine and vice versa. Sure it's work, but nothing similar to emulating the workings of a CPU chip.

Well i just got playing haunted house and it really brings back great memories.F.S. has done a wonderful job and i thank them for making it and for letting us have it early and for Halloween. Does anybody know how many more tables will be in season 2.I am glad to see we are getting class of 1812..Now if they would just make TALES f.t.c.

The main tables I'm hoping for in Season 3 are the remaining holes in the solid-state Williams collection. Namely:

High Speed, Black Knight 2000, F-14 Tomcat, Earthshaker, and Red & Ted's Roadshow

If we get those five, I'll be satisfied with whatever else FarSight wishes to produce. There are lots of others I'd like to see, but these are the five Kickstarter-free no-brainers that still seem like gaping holes in the collection. I'm continuing to be patient because I've been impressed with everything FarSight has done so far, and I have faith that they'll get to these five. But, yes, I'm hoping these five anchor Season 3.

I'd love to see Comet, but Cyclone and Hurricane will most likely come before.

I hope to see Who Dunnit, Diner and Earthshaker next season.

Should this not be moved to the Unreleased Tables forum?

Yes....done.
