Quoted from GorillaBiscuits:

I heard that a DMD game was ported to a LCD version and is definitely being released this year. NO game was specified.
LOTR makes sense because they can charge an arm and a leg for it because it's so packed. I could care less about the screen and wouldn't want to own one again... my hope is it's Tron so I can add that back to the arsenal... but I'm sure they'll charge an arm and a leg for that as well
Who am I kidding it will probably be Ghostbusters

and it's looks as bad the service menus on spike 2 that still look like the mid 90's and not scaled to full screen size.

Quoted from metallik:

Those are refurbished (pulls).
Zitt is correct, easiest method would likely be to pull a CGC and emulate the old boardset.

they have an sam emulator on spike v1. and some said there some test games of the sopranos on SAM? (maybe just driver board?)

But the Whitestar II is likely mostly assembly. Sound not an issue pinmame can trap out the sound calls and you can link them to sound files.

CGC is not fully emulating the sound system.

Unless you want to do the old switch and lamp matrix wireing + big driver board you need to some kind porting or emulator to get it to run with spike boards. Unless they are still useing an faked switch matrix in the spike code.

Quoted from pinball_keefer:

LOTR was indeed written in (heavily macro'd) 6809 assembler, just like the rest of Stern whitestar games. It was only a 2MHz proc, so it's not that hard to emulate. Probably the most annoying part (as 6809 has already been emulated by MAME for decades) would be the banked ROMs, and that's not even that hard to do either.
It could obviously be rewritten in something modern, but that's less than trivial and prone to mistakes.

was the DMD cpu code also big assembler or was most of DMD data with very little code?
