Hey all! So I'm getting very close to finishing my first table!!!  I'm trying to really make it a different experience, so I'm trying to track and tally scoring outside of the "regular scoring" that the Rom allows.  I'm modding a Gottlieb Spirit table, circa 1982, built on their System 80A.

Does anyone know which lights I could key off of, some kind of internal registers, or anything else that could help me determine the following?

1) Which player is currently up.
2) How many players total for the current game.

I tried looking through several of their technical documents, but being fairly new, I might have missed it.  I also previously asked about just adding to the score, but that appears to be a dead-end also.  Basically what I'm attempting to do now is metrics outside of the score, and display them per player at the end of their turns and at the end of the game.  Kind of a "You beat me on the score, but I crushed you on X, Y, and Z metrics"...

Any help or workarounds you could offer would be much appreciated!  Thanks!
