This makes a ton of sense. Networked scoring/multiplayer is all well and good, but ops should be able to know when a machine is down remotely. Do modern arcade/redemption games have this kind of reporting available?

Finally decided to go after a JJP POTC, and it looks like NIB games are all gone. Anyone up here get one? Let me know if you want to change things up.

It looks like the shield is going to be kind of a standard blocker for that lane, but that flail mech looks interesting. From the video it looks like it can spin in both directions, which could make shooting that ramp really difficult. Looking forward to trying one!

Both are good choices, but I'd probably go MB over ST if it was one or the other. If it's your first (and only for a while) game, you'd probably get a bunch of mileage out of either. Getting something that everyone is going to like is probably also a good move if you ever want to be able to...

I don't think I've ever actually seen the show, so theme does nothing for me. Doing the premium in B&W seems bold though-I have the feeling that some of the LE buyers are going to be torn on this, and it's going to be a very polarizing choice. Looking forward to trying one at some point.

Sold!

Bought this a couple of months ago to try to sort out bad wifi reception in my home office, but ended up just running ethernet instead. Strong wifi is good, but gigabit ethernet is better, although much more difficult to install. Here's the amazon listing for it. $100 new, looking to get $50...

I did the upside-down canned air method on a JM, and it worked out OK as long as you go slow. Not sure about older playfields that might not have the same level of clear on them though.

Which romset/core were you using, and did you use anything to clean the roms beforehand (e.g. Romcenter, CLRMamePro)? I've only managed to get a couple of games working so far, and I ran into a strange issue whereby I'd quit MAME, and then the controls in the Emulation Station frontend would...

It's actually pretty complicated-depends on which of the MAME flavours you want to run on the pi: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/MAME/ 0.37b5 is the lowest version that's supported (by mame4all). It looks like lr-mame2016 supports the 0.174 set though. I'm going to see what I can find with...

Anyone tried building a MAME off a Pi3? A friend at work had a spare kit and some arcade stick parts, so I offered to help put together a box for the office. I've got all the hardware working with RetroPie, and the console stuff seems to work OK, but the MAME romset I have for my cabinet is...

Played some more of this last night at TOPL, and I'm starting to get a handle on the rules for the game. Looks like a bunch of the character benefits aren't quite as strong as you might think: Barbosa claims "easier multiball rules", but apparently this also reduces scoring Elizabeth has...

Got a chance to play it at P1 this weekend, and I like it, but it seems really chaotic. I think I had 4 of the main multiballs running at once at one point? I'm also not sure what's up with qualifying chapters and collecting items (at least I think that's what you're doing). It's a game I...

Honestly, I don't mind the idea of re-using an old playfield as a basis for a game, and trying to target something simpler isn't a terrible idea either. I wonder if the success of TNA helped with this at all? This game isn't for us though-it's for the Beatles collector who may or may not have...

At this point, I'm planning on coming by later in the afternoon with my son to check it out, but we'll see how things go.

I guess that sorts out the "new vs old code" question-the service menu still has "monsters@wms.com" email on it. I hadn't noticed whether these were still on the other remakes. I wonder whether that still goes anywhere?

Any rule/software changes for the remake? There was talk about new code for the new version.

That looks like a nice job. Still a damn shame that these things are that expensive, but it's at the point where I think I could do them in most/all my DMD games. Just need to spend a ton of cash to do so. Other than the free shipping on 3 displays, do they tend to do show discounts?

Neat-I've never seen those hardtop overlays before. Looks like a cool alternative to a full new PF!

Looks promising, but I think that right ramp shot is going to be tricky through that lane. Interested in seeing how this shoots. Pro looks to be the best of the bunch though. Not a huge fan of the art on the higher end models.
