> Any PEPlus titles being preserved.
While most likely not in 2019, hopefully some of IGT's non-PE video slots also end up being preserved at some stage (e.g. Game King and Spectrum), as well as more dumps of their non-video slots; splus.cpp is looking sad in its current state with only one game and three set chips in the driver (two of which are suspiciously identical, unless only the labels differed in the first place).
The Aristocrat drivers might see a few more games in the near future, although work needs to be done to get the drivers up to scratch and there simply isn't anyone interested in them to iron out the bugs. With the case of MK2.5/MK4/MK5 games, it is as simple as add, compile and play (and add new DIP/button/artwork labels if needed), but MK6 still has a long way to go. Non-video Aristocrat games are not dumped as of yet either, with MK2.5 as well as VIG520 (MK6?) versions being known to exist (and even Aristocrat/IGT reel slots from circa 1982 - Aristocrat on the front, IGT on the side - although I don't know if they are electronic (CPU+ROMs) or purely mechanical).
