[QUOTE="shutyertrap, post: 245216, member: 134"] The biggest difference with Stern Pinball Arcade will be how FarSight builds the tables for the game. Stern is sending them CAD files and all the artwork, so the tables will be exactly the proper dimensions. In the past, FarSight needed the physical table to take apart and photograph everything. Now they only need the machine to ensure they have the ball movement tuning correct. No need for ROM emulation either, as Stern is providing the source code. This should make the tables run better by using less processing power of your device. No one knows exactly what this means for Sega and Data East tables, whether they will still come to TPA or not. Also, it is highly unlikely CAD files exist for those machines either, unless Stern has been creating their own in case they ever wanted to do a legacy run of older machines. From what I've heard, Ripley's is supposed to look and play way better than it ever has, and that MS Frankenstein does too, despite it being one of FarSight's newer builds. What is for certain is that the digital resources Stern is providing will cut down greatly on the build time the FarSight team needs. It also means they can have brand new tables released day and date or even before release of physical machines since they won't have to actually get their hands on one. [/QUOTE]
