    Quoted from applejuice:

    1 controller board and 1 driver board, that are designed to work together, and replace all other bally boards except the power section on the old power driver board.

    So does that mean in reality, replacing 3 boards? (CPU, solenoid driverboard, lamp board)
    Curious what you're going to price it at. For comparison, Alltek is $350 for all of that (but it's only a replacement, doesn't give you the option of adding new rules, or sounds). Very cool project!

    Quoted from GRUMPY:

    need ballpark price before I jump in

    Quoted from applejuice:

    I'm working on pricing it at £199 plus shipping, so that would work out at around $300. That will buy you the full board set and access to all my framework, libraries and game code

    ok so I've been thinking about this thread.. been keeping my eyes open for a trashed bally / stern project pin just in case.

    Just to clarify, if you replaced the stock boards with this board, you're starting from zero (other than basic framework that would probably get you flipping, perhaps some basic rules like start game, play 3 balls, end game, example scoring for a switch). But until someone starts posting open source code of specific games they've recreated rules on, everyone would have to create code to get rules correct? IE there's no way to extract code from the original game and somehow plop that into the code to run this board so you have a starting point of a stock machine?

    Any chance you can show some of the code you used for your example? How does it compare to other frameworks? Could you run different frameworks with this hardware? (FAST for example)
