Agreed. I was on the initial team as an adviser for Chicago Gaming and recommended that the first remake should NOT be MM. My thoughts was to do an easier game first, like AFM, and work out all the issues before doing the top game (MM) first. I also did not like how CGC promised free color DMD updates to the limited edition buyers but at the end charged for it. I was not happy with the more transparent inserts on MM and was told by CGC that it would be fixed on the production run. My adviser role did not last very long due to my disagreements.

There is a delay with the software emulation and is very noticeable on MMr compared to AFMr.

The delay is there on MMr but someone who has little experience with an original MM may not notice it. I have owned an original MM for 15+ years. The MMr's just play differently.

If they do not notice the emulation delays and/or the transparent lamp inserts when they are lit on the MMr compared to the original, they are blind.

I did buy a MMr LE when they first came out and my plan was to sell my original but the original just played better. I never measured the geometry of the MMr but I knew something just was not correct. The MMr had a very slight flipper delay that the original did not have. I also did not like the transparent insert text and when the inserts were lit they are very hard to read. My original game had inserts you actually can read. The MMr had cabinet decals that were folded over on the edges and my original did not. Also the MMr translite looked to be washed out. So I sold the MMr.
