This would not be possible without the investment of PPS and a handful of us authorized burners that stand behind Soren and what he does. We are so happy to see this finally become a reality. If you do not get the rom from an authorized source (listed in original post) such as myself, or turn around and distribute the one you bought, you won't be supporting the efforts to continue future updates and it may come to an end.

Quoted from Malenko:

This a made up scenario:
So what happens if I get the new Soren Rev 2 Junk Yard ROM and pay the $15, then there's another update to the ROM, or multiple updates to the ROM? Will there be some sort of reduced upgrade cost or return/trade up thing?
I'll gladly pay Matt's basement for a ROM set, I'm just wondering how future updates are handled or if the releases are a best attempt at a "final release"
Getaway *neeeeeeds* some sort of bug fix/feature merge so that you don't have to pick what to give up when you play a certain version.

Hey welcome back! I can't speak for the official Soren/PPS plans, but I believe the intention is to move on to other games and expand. It's going to depend on demand. However an example would be when Chad's Hook 5.0 was released, a glitch was quickly discovered that only affected a handful of certain machines, and 5.01 was released to fix it. I worked with those customers without charging for another chip. It's up to the individual sellers.

Now a few months down the road and Soren is listening to suggestions and puts work into another release I'd say we'd be starting from scratch. If he keeps cranking them out, maybe there is a need for a monthly subscription option lol

Quoted from Joe_Blasi:

and that is where an paid download choice is good with an small cost for people who need to get an chip to get that updated chip.

Your suggestion / concerns have been noted.

Quoted from mavantix:

Just ordered from Matt’s as well. That built in Apple Pay button sold me, easiest ROM order ever!

Thanks for the recommendations!

Yes my site does support device specific payments like apple pay, googlepay, amazonpay (like you must be on an Iphone or Mac to do applepay).

It also works with some login methods to speed up checkout like facebook, amazon, or stripe. You do not have to create an account to check out...but it can use stored shipping address and payment methods from these accounts, or just checkout as a guest.

I would also like to remind people that Soren did do 3 other titles as well...my orders seem to be heavy on the CFTBL. Junk Yard, Radical, and Roadshow are available as well

Quoted from soren:

...and TOTAN.
Not quite multiballs (like TAF). Those examples are more like timed modes with infinite ball saver. Where a ball at rest in the shooter lane is acceptable players choice.

I will ask this out of ignorance of how the code itself works, but a possible angle on what some would call a ball save/autosave/etc....

I know on Addams (assuming would also apply to Gold?) , there is what I refer to as an "autosave" where you get the ball back in the shooter lane, however it only works if it is a super fast drain, does not touch a single target/switch, and I want to say also player not hitting the flipper buttons. Not sure if that's a feature or a glitch, but could that possibly be tweaked to add a timer or something more useful?

Quoted from The_Pump_House:

Ok, I ordered from Action because I didn't know the ebay seller was authorized.

Sorry, I'm late to the party and have been kinda idle in the forums due to the little one. Yes, that ebay listing is mine, and I am an authorized seller. Thanks guys for vouching for me!
And thank you for questioning it.

And here's my 2 cents on ebay for people looking for roms:
TBH, I really hate selling on ebay lately for various reasons, left unsaid here, as I don't want to derail this thread. However, enough people still look for roms there before they look here as I will never be able to compete with ebay's SEO rankings.

Keep in mind buying on ebay puts money in ebays pocket, and now it's required that they charge you sales tax in most states now. Sites who sell their own stuff usually only have to collect for sales to their own state. Come to me direct via pinside message if you have questions [or the seller of your choice's site like you did ...we are not cut-throat], or buy on my pinside shop, I'd rather a cut go to Robin and support Pinside, or another authorized seller, than ebay whenever possible

If you're in Canada, Astill is a great guy and has helped me out in the past. Overseas/UK, check with Soren direct @ dotsandloops, some sellers don't ship international, and us that do still don't trust the USPS right now lol

If you've got a set in your hand, the authorized Soren roms will have blue license holograms, and the non-Soren roms are the gold holograms. The blue holograms is how you know Soren is getting taken care of. No holograms means PPS never heard of 'em and probably should .

Quoted from soren:

Please go easy on the suppliers. I am sure they will have ROMs in stock shortly.
I was not aware that Matt has ceased operation (for the time being). All the best, Matt.

I apologize to everyone for the hiatus and the cancelled orders. Work/life/health balance was getting out of balance and had to take a step back and focus on family.
The whole chip shortage is not helping any of us either.

I am ramping back up and have reopened my website.

Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!
