It's not bad especially if you can catch a steam sale and get pro packs for a decent discount. I feel like it's worth the money if you can catch a good sale.

It's a nice alternative to see those tables you love when you're tired of messing with VP. The fact TPA doesn't have cab mode though really sucks and kinda kills the feel entirely.

If you can get VP properly set in Fullscreen mode with PinMAME and DirectB2S rocking animated backglasses on a two or three screen setup then it's way superior to TPA.

The thing is though, the quirkiness and inconsistency of how said setup functions depending on table available might make TPA a better alternative for most as it's launch and play. VP + a proper setup is a workin' mans software where you always need to apply lots of time and maintenance to keep it shining almost like maintaining a real pin.

The problem with the "Legal" argument is; it's extremely rare where said legal product is executed correctly. I just got back from vacation and decided to take my PSP Daxter Ice Slim with me to play same games. I actually purchased games like Metal Slug Anthology, Metal Slug XX, and SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1

After some minutes of play I just launched NJ's MVSPSP because so called products done legally correctly just can't compete with awesome emulators like CPS1PSP, CPS2PSP, MVSPSP
