It would be nice to make some of the games more tolerant. Examples:

Tom trunk. If a single trunk error is found , the whole trunk is disabled until the machine is power cycled. Then it works fine again. It should simply try again instead of shutting down.

The same holds true with shadow sanctum area.

Suggestions for theatre of magic:

- poof target enables 5 sec ball saver
- fix trunk thinking its broken and shutting itself off when a trunk test fixes it.
- ball saver if magnet save fails
- multiball wizard mode would be nice
- integration of home rom features like tiger saw
- perhaps you could sell a poof upgrade kit that includes the champ pub center post.

Quoted from PinballManiac40:

Remove all the code that looks for switches (especially the harder shots) that had not been activated in XX amount of games. I find this annoying. Thinking something is wrong with many of my WPC machines after hosting a party. I think even system 11 games have this in it too. Or at least triple the amount of games before it flags those inactive switches.

This is how credit dots are detected. It is undesirable to have this just removed. There may be a game or two that flags errors too frequently. But there's just no other way for the game to know or inform when a switch might be bad.

Quoted from MXV:

That last one isn't a bug. The games were designed to use incandescent bulbs.
I like the first two quite a bit. The only reason there isn't a ball save for TOM for a failed magnet was the programmer was very lazy, hence the shitty wizard mode.

How do you know he was lazy? Perhaps he was overloaded and worked overtime to get what he already existed into the code. I find it annoying for someone to assume it was because he was lazy.
