Hrm. I'm not familiar with the specific model in P2K. Is that running at 15khz or something higher? Is it a flatscreen or a traditional CRT face? There could be angle of projection issues going from a rounded face to a flat LCD. It would probably be correctable but that may make this a little less o...

I would be concerned about long term reliability of flash devices. They are rated for a finite number of write operations. Depending on how your software works (i.e. load once work from memory vs a constant read/write to the drive) that could be a real issue. Of course, that issue could be mostly mo...

It's not a virtual game - it is actually running the game in the original form, but on different hardware. Is this actually an emulator? Or is it running on a similar CPU as the original? Or perhaps decompiled and then recompiled for a more common CPU on an x86 motherboard? I actually don't know wha...

I would be concerned with the way an LCD would project off of the playfield glass - if it does at all. LCDs aren't the same type of projected light source that a CRT is. It may work, but not quite the same way as a CRT, such that you'd have to alter the way it is mounted in relation to the surface i...

For those who've said they'd prefer to build their own, I'm curious your thoughts about not getting support. In other words, if your not able to get things working on your own, how will you feel if we say we cannot suppor or help you? It would probably be best to follow the model that other similar...

Why offer only one type of package? You're going to get users on both sides of the fence. It also depends on cost. If the full meal package is $500, I'd rather build my own given that I am on the highly technical side. If the full meal is $200, though, I may just pay to get it done rather than spend...
