Why don't Stern and Farsight team up to release their new tables on TPA?

[QUOTE="soundwave106, post: 133609, member: 3746"] The Whitestar chipset is a Motorola 6809 CPU @ 2 Mhz. The newer Stern system runs off of a Atmel AT91R40008 microcontroller. (No idea on the clock speed Stern uses, it can run at up to 75Mhz but I have a feeling Stern doesn't clock it that fast). Between the CPU differences and the board functionality differences, it does initially sounds like the systems would be too difficult to swap code between. Having said that, I wonder if you could script a slow-running-emulation of the AT91R40008 and the board. I can't see a pinball machine needing *that* much CPU cycles... the audio and video improvements on the Sterns in fact would be the main things I would see taking cycles that possibly mobile couldn't handle (in which case I would think you could dial that back...)
