This is really exciting! ... the only reason I never upgraded Demo Man to the much better "Home rom" is due to the fact the game becomes useless to run onsite, as I do. I even had one guy ask me why "this Demo Man doesn't do <long list of extra features> ?", only answer I could give him was that those features are unofficial and so not available onsite.

Here's hoping some of these fantastic home rom updates can become available to the general public here!

soren is this part of the plan for upgrades? ... providing for coinop with these great updates such as Demo Man, Whitewater ... so on, so on ?

That would be like the most fantastic news!!!!

PPS does this mean updates will be coin-op friendly? ... I would Love to update my games especially Demo Man and Getaway!

"ball saves" existed without auto launch in many games. Maverick is but one example. Also the "home" Whitewater ROM does it just fine. Code simply doesn't launch a ball to the shooter lane if there is one already there.... also back when pinball mostly had Physical locks, instead of an overload of mostly lacklustre imaginary ones... Many games have no auto launch, and a ball save feature.

Many of my fave games don't use "virtual locks" ... they just seem "cheap" somehow to me.

Mainly this for me ... My older games all have out dated code and no usefull recent updates available purely due to no coin-op option

The "home updates" are completely pointless for my application, as my games all go on coinop rotation. They're still comercial machines, and great piles of games are Not "home use" machines.

People whom do not own pinball machines (site players) shouldn't have to miss out on these Awesome code updates!

Does that mean we will get any updates and bug-fixes for coin-op, though ?

If it wasn't for the "No"... the rest of the sentence seemed to mean yes.

Anyway If coin op isn't available for updates it's a great shame, because half the pinball players, including me, will still miss out. ...

Fair enough, very confusing reply though. Begins with "No" as the answer to asking if we will get coin-op options. Even the second part can read either way. I took No as the direct answer, with a comma assumed missing in the sentence.

Q. " Does that mean we will get any updates and bug-fixes for coin-op, though ?"

A. "No. There is no plan to release anything with Free play only restriction."

I thought there may have been a comma missing actually, since the sentence conflicts opposite with the "No". A comma can make all the difference!
