Quoted from Pastor69:Much appreciated that you are willing to dive into this, the community needs people like you!
I read something on a different forum about being able to read DMD events, so if like a multiball is displayed on the DMD you can scan that and turn it into an event. I dont know if this is actually possible, but perhaps? Might make things a lot easier or harder hehe.
Yes it's definitely possible. This is how the Tron Pinvision works. So there are 3 methods that have been used for detecting game state in Tron (or any SAM game for that matter):
1. Intercept the ribbon cable from the CPU to the power board. This is what Eli's kit does.
2. Intercept the switch and lamp matrices. This is what the Total Lightshow kit does.
3. Intercept the DMD ribbon cable. This is what the Tron Pinvision kit does.
All 3 of the kits mentioned above work very well at detecting game states and reacting to them. Just different ways to implement and code.
