Quoted from Zablon:Thanks for that. It actually does what I suspected. It's not lighting the dots, but just the outlines, which limits the modes you can use on it. I suppose it's just a matter of taste, but for the price of the thing and everything it can do, I feel with the mirrored one it limits it quite a bit. It is cool that it works at all with it though.
BTW, very nice machine!
The reason I decided against the mirrored BG (for the game at least) is simply because my game isn't in the best shape overall and think it would stand out oddly in comparison to the rest of the game. I still want to pick one up though to do a wall hanging.
I think the poor video quality is fooling you a bit. Watch the beginning of the first video where the dots sparkle. The dots definitely light up not just the letters.
I understand where your coming from, the backglass might look out of place on well played machine.
Thanks for the compliment
