    I’ve been running the 35 in one of my Harlem Globetrotters for a while. I’ve run it both ways. You can run the Pinmame ROM directly. That’s the easy way. However, you can also run it in MPF (Mission Pinball Framework). And that’s where the fun comes in.

    My overall project is to re-write Kings of Steel in MPF to be a good game. The right target will be removed and replaced with a drop target. And the LISY35 was the platform that could enable me to do that.

    bontango has been very helpful to me in trying to do this. Dare I say, he’s brilliant.

    My friend John was the one that showed this project to me first. For anyone that was at Pintastic in New England this year, his Charlie’s Angels was running a LISY1 there.

    Getting involved in this project is a blast. I will say, it does take a bit of skill to assemble the board. But if you have soldered a board before, you should be able to tackle it. And it’s really worth it, because having a board you assembled in your game is a pretty cool feeling.

    Here is the LISY35 inside my HG.

    Quoted from emsrph:

    Anyone get into the MPF programming for Bally and can provide their experience? My LISY35 is for a Harlem Globetrotters On Tour

    I'm sorry Man. You asked me that in PM, and I never replied to you (very busy with work lately), so I'll reply here. I did get it running on HG with MPF and had a barebones game running that was a simple progression of shots. I'll try to pull that out of my archive this weekend and share it.
