I just joined the MA club and I am very happy. This game has been on my radar for a while now.
Have there been any hobbyist mods of the ROMs at all? I saw that in a PAPA tournament they disabled the center mech. I guess this is because with the bank down you can just keep looping the center ramp for 100k each time.
I would love it if we could mod the code so that after 5 loops the value plummets to like 10k or 5k. That way the center ramp can still be valuable: worth a kickback relight, 500k on the loops, and then the mouse hole collect. But if you want to get back to it, have to take the risky target bank shots straight up the middle...
Are there any other code exploits that should be tidied up? Certainly would love it if extra balls and specials could be changed to point rewards for tournament play. (EDIT: specials can be set to 100k rewards via adjustment 7, and extra balls can be set to points via adjustment 11, though manual doesn't say the value)
