[QUOTE="Sean DonCarlos, post: 32939, member: 152"] I did. I used to develop software for a manufacturer of video surveillance systems; one of my jobs was to get third-party devices like card access systems and point-of-sale terminals to communicate with our hardware. Nowhere near as exciting as emulating a pinball table's ROM, but some of the design challenges were similar. From that experience I was able to connect the dots between your previous posts and work out why TPA is designed the way it is, even though that design makes 360 updates horribly inconvenient. Hopefully I did at least a halfway-decent job explaining it to the non-coding readership here...and hopefully I'm not stepping too close to any "classified" information. Please let me know if I am; I'd hate to see you catch any grief from management because of my interest in TPA's internals. [/QUOTE]
