    Williams Pinball iOS BETA Signup

    Open the TestFlight app. On the main page, it should list the apps you have beta access to. Tap the app's name (not the "Open" beside it). This will open the app's beta page in TestFlight. One of the options is "Send beta feedback to developer". It will warn you that you are giving the developer...

    Williams Pinball iOS BETA Signup

    Careful about what you discuss - you could be violating your NDA by talking about what you see in the beta. In some NDAs, even mentioning you're part of the beta violates the NDA. If you didn't read the big block of NDA, it's best to just be quiet and enjoy what you have. Just email them all...

    Pinball that has been featured on TV and in movies

    9-1-1 features a custom pin called "First Responder" that seems to be a mix of EM and modern day - traditional bell and chines with sounds and DMD of a modern. You don't see a full view of the playfield, just the flipper area and the cabinet.

    Williams and Bally are overrated

    Part of the reason is WIlliams/Bally tables were designed for both the operators and players in mind. One popular thing was switch compensation - a Williams/Bally table that has a broken switch (which happens often, those things get smashed by balls) will often compensate for it - so even if the...

    Steam Summer Sales

    I don't care the % off anymore - my limit is $10-ish. If a game goes under $10 on sale, I get interested. And if you wait long enough, every game will go on sale under $10. Even the AAA games - those take a few years, but eventually they go under $10 too. If even after 90% off your game is...

    Official Announcement.

    Of course the discs will work. The discs contain the licenses for the tables themselves on the disc and cannot be altered. Farsight cannot sell WMS tables after June 30, so there will be no more WMC DLC sales afterwards. But what you have, you have.

    Suspicious mails from FarSight with Word attachment, probably Virus

    Matt, you might want to have your PC scanned. I got one of those as well, and it came not as a new email, but as a reply to an existing email. As in, it appears someone hit reply and sent the attachment - it had quoted the old message as well. This means whoever sent it has access to all your...

    You will be able to do so as long as you use the same PSN account and Farsight account.

    PC Can't decide on Bally/Williams Tables, I'll probably miss deadine

    Other canonical Williams tables (especially from the WPC95 era) are Addams Family, Twilight Zone and Star Trek TNG. That's if you're into the moderns pins. Those with Medieval Madness round out my set of must-have pins. If I won the lottery, those would be the real machines I'd get first (which...

    Maybe it's time to move on

    Microsoft will likely keep backwards compatibility - they added it as a feature to the Xbox One, and I think they even are adding support for the original Xbox as well. I see this as something they're keeping going into the future. Sony is likely to keep doing what they're doing - if the PS5 is...

    Official Announcement.

    Well, then Farsight will have a lot of angry people who are unable to play TPA. Heck, we get lots of threads about TPA not working on BETA versions of the operating system, so I think as long as they're still selling TPA and others, they will maintain it. iOS I believe is one of their top...

    Official Announcement.

    because it wasn't sold through steam. It was added to your Farsight account when you filled out the kickstarter survey. Thus to get the table, you must always log into your Farsight account.

    "ERROR: The cerfificate for this server is invalid..."

    The error is on the pinballanalytics website - it's the website that tracks your account stats and tables (obtained via kickstarter) and all that. Someone forgot to renew the certificate. Of course, it happens during Memorial Day weekend, ensuring it's down for the maximum amount of time, unless...

    WMS License - Speculation Thread

    If it's really an EA exec in charge, then it's simply money. They probably saw what FarSight has done, and how much their kickstarters brought in, and thus didn't want to split it anymore - why shouldn't they get all the money? So they withdraw their licenses, and will probably try to shop it...

    Indiana Jones/Lethal Weapon 3/Space Invaders/Golden Arrow

    T2 was licensed JUST before the license was sold. There was a bit of a hurry to get the Kickstarter done before the sale of the license went through in order to actually secure the license. As for STTNG, CBS owns Viacom (who owns Paramount), so it's really all the same company. CBS requires...

    Stern code updates

    Well, if Farsight gets the code, they'd probably integrate the code into the next release. Depends if Farsight gets the code from Stern or not. I'm guessing they will so it'll just be a matter of porting it over again and releasing the updated table.

    Ghostbusters High CPU Usage

    SPA tables aren't emulated like TPA. SPA tables are executed - they take the Stern code and compile it to run natively on the host CPU. Minor modifications are needed to hook the code up to the virtual hardware. It's possible that the Stern code makes lots of tight loops since it was coded to...

    Black Flaggers (Pinball Wicked)

    Waiting for a sale... I don't generally spend more than $10 on anything on Steam. Either a Steam Sale or I'll just wait until it gets discounted. Or it gets tossed in a Humble Bundle. (I won't be bored. I have a huge pile of games - both still in shrinkwrap and on Steam that I haven't played...

    Farsights space cadet pinball

    The reason kickstarter only supports a few countries is banking, investment and other regulations. It takes a lot of time to meet regulatory requirements. Crowdfunding often calls under investment laws which can have certain requirements (disclosure, etc) because they were designed for public...
