Re: Pinball Progress

Interesting, I had no idea MAME was that ambitious. I've heard talk of adding artwork for games like Midway's 18 wheeler, but I thought pinball simulation would be left to others. I'm actually ecstatic because current pinball sims are a mess.....outdated......abandoned (to a degree)....confusing at best. Very buggy also.

I know RB and others have no love for PinMAME's code. It would be great to see pinball done right in all aspects. I know they would never replace the real thing but I've played a few tables that have made a great attempt at preserving them (to a degree). I always felt they deserved to be preserved also, even if it's just a computer simulation.
Pinball Arcade is quite good at their approach (at least to me).

Question: Would MAME use outside parts like Newton Mechanics or would it be built from the ground up (for lack of a better understanding)? I would also assume it would take a monumental amount of work to MAME as it exists today. Correct?

I've seen a few pincabs that look pretty cool....back glass an all.
