    Hi all

    I'm working on a JS emulator for WPC pinball machines. Current version is runnable here: https://neophob.github.io/wpc-emu/ (source: https://github.com/neophob/wpc-emu).

    The main goal of this project is, to replace most of the electronics of a WPC pinball machine with one Raspberry Pi (or similar). only exception might be the solenoid driver board.

    I'm working on the sound board at the moment and looking for some good documentations about the soundboard. Any hints are welcome!

    Why? Because I like JS. Because you can run it in any browser. So why not?

    Very cool! Nice job.

    Quoted from zacaj:

    ..but why in JS?

    Probably because doing stuff in JavaScript (whether browser or NodeJS) is a zillion times easier that doing the same thing in C/C++ (if you know what you are doing).
