Quoted from twenty84:

Yes, I started that thread and did the testing. The increased delay in the CGC games relative to the BW originals is easily detectable by an oscilloscope. I don't know if it is perceived by the player as no one has tested that at least as far as I know. I thought it would be interesting to try an experiment to determine how many milliseconds of delay could be perceived and how it is perceived but to my knowledge that has never been done. CGC came into the thread and mentioned they may include an option in future games to eliminate this delay. I'm not sure if this was done in MB (which was not out at that time, and I have never played their remake of that) and if this is why some people feel that game as a flipper feel that is more true to the original.

Quoted from twenty84:

The initial voltages seemed similar. The originals don't use pulse width modulation and also did not have software adjustable flipper power. The main difference I found was in the initial delay but that was small. I sold my remake years ago, so I no longer have any ability to look into this further.

Quoted from mbeardsley:

That's already been done - in fine detail - in that other thread that I referenced. Lots of back and forth, including input from CGC, and after all was done, the timings were identical.

Quoted from mbeardsley:

This may be true, and probably needs to be examined again.
Furthermore, I wonder if it would be possible for the software to allow a setting where it does not pulse the signal at all, and then have a signal more like the top one in vid1900's picture above.
So does the PWM being used in the remakes make the flippers more like a Stern machine?

Quoted from mbeardsley:

Well, do we really know that the max setting is actually no modulation? The max setting might just be like 90% duty.
Unfortunately, we are already beyond my rudimentary electrical engineering knowledge.
