Hi!
I'm a pinball fan, and I own a TZ since 2003, my only pinball and one that will never leave my home.

I remember in RGP when the 9.4H/BH/CH was hot topic, and some minutes ago I came to my mind that story, and I searched that famous message, https://groups.google.com/d/msg/rec.games.pinball/5exaK_Q8-Pc/70Tl7ojZvBAJ

I can't be more sorrow for what TZ could be more than actually is. Believe me, I would still love to have a proper "street level" 9.4, with home features removed and coin working.

Quoting

"Also note that I introduced lots of bugs along the way. I was working with
source code and a debugger. I wasn't reverse engineering and changing bytes
in the ROM. I was working on source code of which I wrote a significant
portion. Let me repeat my point to drive it home for the one or two of you
who missed it: I introduced bugs."

"As it turns out, 9.4H has a few
minor bugs that were discovered by the people who upgraded. I have been
(slowly) fixing those bugs in anticipation of a 9.5 release."

I think many TZ owners would be more that interested in a 9.5 final release.

That message is from 99. Have his position changed in 16 years? If he would do that, can he use the original Williams development kit and source code?

Bye!
