Start at page one there.

 

I don't see how MAME Dev gonna add Pinball (it's own inbuilt simulation.) in MAME. Other words artworks and all that stuff. (Note: ROM's and score's already in MAME. Just needed the rest of the stuff.)

 

Here is a question. What about the ball? How that gonna move and hit things? Come on VP and FP already been made for PinMAME. Why not use these? Why not just port PinMAME to MAME? Course the source need to be rewritten.

 

They already put the MAME for Android to the grave. They didn't even get it past the alpha stage on it.

 

I don't think they can put a Pinball simulation into MAME. They just gonna pull the plug on this idea anyway. Just like they did with the MAME for Android.

 

Beside MAME will drop to a very low speed if they added it. Lags and such. Be like a train wreak.

I doing alright.

They could at least have something like the COM interface that VPM has, but in a more general/platform independent way. Why not?!

And then Visual Pinball and the like could use it in a similar fashion (e.g. via some scripting language).

The simulator part sounds unrealistic at the moment, but who knows.. Maybe sometime in the future?

 

Merging PinMAME and MAME also sounds kinda like a good plan, but it's difficult as the two diverged so much over all these years.

We have some pinball on MAME. Just tried this Atari classic. It has always sucked ass though.

There another one kristian. http://www.mameworld...o=&fpart=1&vc=1 I post a snapshot of Solar War. I don't know why the artwork isn't on Mr.Do artwork page. I have it though.

Wow... I wasn't aware of that. Thanks.

I think Solar War is better than that other one.
