Being restricted to leveraging 1.00.00 as the baseline sucks but its not an end-all limitation IMO. The 1.01.00 release was just a few minor bug fixes + this blocker, nothing new that matters to gameplay.

Quoted from crwjumper:

It really sucks that Stern has decided to block this. I understand why they would want to protect their code though.
Really amazing work on this. Hopefully we will be able to install it when it’s released!

Quoted from timlah79:

If their intention was "protecting" their code then I feel as if they would've started blocking this a long time ago (PBrowser has been around for ~7 years and they've all known that). Right now and up until now, its doing no harm to their licensing or anything unless perhaps some other company is using PBrowser in a malicious way to steal Stern's methods and implement them into their production machines. I highly doubt any pin company would be stupid enough to do that, but perhaps it is a reason. The way I see it, anyone who chooses to customize to their own machine is their choice. Let's say I decide to put Jay-Z's music in my JP--how does that hurt Stern and especially if it's my HUO game, how am I violating licensing? What I'm saying is customizing one's own game is not adversely affecting Stern or any licensing and I don't see how harm could come to Stern because of it (at least not that I'm aware of but I am not in the pin nor legal biz). I wasn't able to get any answers/reasoning from them, despite my very detailed email and a follow up. All I ever got was, "Sorry your disappointed, but modifying software is not recommended will void your warranty."
Whatever the case may be, I'm still trucking along with 1.00.00. I just hit the >100 individually customized callouts mark today. Looking forward to showing you guys the progress soon.

ATTN: PRO and PREM OWNERS - TESTERS NEEDED FOR MY 1.02 CUSTOM VERSIONS!
Great news!

Quoted from timlah79:

Would people be upset if I swapped out "Shoot the set trap targets" and "The targets by the truck set the trap"? Those annoy the heck out of me but I don't know if people rely on them for gameplay direction. I don't have any solid ideas for replacement movie lines at the moment, but I'm looking at this today so figured I'd see if I could get some feedback from you guys. Also, I assume "The trap is set. Get to the helipad" and "The helicopter needs to be refueled" need to stay (since it's not always too obvious when you have to shoot the helipad)? LMK what you guys think.
