[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 288951, member: 134"] I'd say this is more for the operators than anything, increasing the efficiency use of their machines on route. The idea of being able to change game/operator settings remotely is huge. You get a spread sheet's dump of data, make some tweaks remotely and see how that affects your profit margin, without ever having to step foot into the arcade. For tournaments, having that data flow directly to a computer rather than having to physically watch and record all the scores, doing real time board updates, that's pretty major too. You could technically have tournaments running at separate locations, but the downside would be a TAF at one location might play completely different than a TAF at another. Flip side to that would be, if you had two arcades within walking distance of each other with different sets of machines, you could run one tournament that pulls data from both, increasing the amount of titles everyone is playing on. I wonder if Scorbit allows for ROM and code updates? How cool would it be though to log into an arcade, download the high scores for say Fish Tales, and then have those be what you are playing against in FX3? To log in to PAPA and have whatever settings they are using applied to the same table in FX3, so you can see how you'd fare against actual tournament players? (obviously for your own amusement, not as an actual score entry) All sorts of interesting scenarios. [/QUOTE]
