Lag is constantly measured by the software, averages about 1-2 mili seconds….it’s not perceivable in person. I have a large collection of real machines and wouldn’t even bother to play virtual pinball if lag was an issue.

Turbo Grafx is a classic system, never got as big as Nintendo or Sega but hey made some cool games regardless

You don’t wanna know what I had to do to afford that machine lol

I waited 9 months for mine including shipping time, but I hear it’s currently about 2 years unless you pay for an expedited build spot. That’s why I’d say you’re better off to build one yourself rather than wait 2 years.

I wish I had the proper space to show off all the machines, the game room has turned into more of a storage space these days #pinballhoarder

Thanks a ton!

I thanks for the sub…… honestly I would just get a flat pack cabinet and build it yourself. It’s way cheaper and if you want to add the latest and greatest tables your going to need how to learn the software anyways…..plus there is an all in one install program that makes it easy. There are lots of video guides from the ground up, every step of the way. That being said to answer your question it all comes down to the quality of monitor, pc and video card used….software can also play a part. 4K machines have to be running on at least 120hz screen (perferrably a monitor)to get the most realistic ball motion/movements. 60hz just doesn’t cut it for the proper 4k experience. It all comes down to choice, if you want the best build commercial cab you get XGC machine but you have to wait, RRW are an expensive, lesser option but without the wait time. Personally I just don’t like their cabinets, they are much bigger than a real wide body pinball machine, feels like a franken pin with my arms spread too far apart while playing…..but I own a lot of machines so maybe I’m notice it more since it’s not standard or wide body size…..more like XX wide body lol

Thanks for the awesome reply that helps a ton. Thanks for all the great vids you have an INSANELY cool collection

No it’s from Xtreme Gaming Cabinets out of Australia

Gotcha. It looks amazing. Do you think it’s better (realism) than the ultra vp? I assume so bc you bought it 😂

@@007bondson1 well mine is a 2-n-1 cabinet ….but comparing both companies premium packages currently the XGC machine is the better machine just comparing components, build quality & software. XGC cabinets are built in house with buyers choice of materials where as RRW are pre fabricated oversized Chinese cabinets that they spec’d afterwards. I always prefer built in house from the ground up….that being said XGC wait times are so ridiculous these days I would just build my own rather than wait 1-2 years for a vpin.

Thanks!

Join the Facebook group, “Virtual Pinball and Minis Fan Club” and message the builder Scott Sloan……that’s how I got mine.

@Major_Drain yea, I put that in Facebook group search but it's not coming up. 😥

@@saintsinister8597 i just checked the page, its still there, even comes up with a google search.

Thanks for watching, it feels very similar playing them back to back but this table could definitely use an overhaul visually especially with updated LUT lighting options.

Yes I’ve Flipped Die Hard a few times, need to spend more time on it but it’s got fun shots and interesting modes. Really feels like a classic Data East table, great job on the layout! The lack of right outlane takes some getting used to but still challenging to shoot. Since I made this video there have been lots of new original PX tables, Blood Machines and Die Hard would still be in my top 5 tho. Thank you for your help in creating these fun tables for the community, it’s not said enough but we appreciate all the hard work and hours you devs put in!

@@Major_Drain Thanks a lot!

okay i see Dig Dug was ruined after you removed the bezel and replaced 24:14

Thanks for watching, hope it helps!

Thanks for watching Tony, I tune into your streams whenever I see you on., always a fun time!

I’ve heard great things about that place, that’s cool you’ve got one close by that you can play. I fumbled that one pretty badly haha, that’s pinball! Thanks for watching

This is on my vpin,…..score submissions for a weekly virtual league, 1 quarter challenge!

That’s exactly what it felt like playing it. Cool call outs and animations, interesting modes but feels awful to shoot.

The most updated VPX tables are even more convincing with the increased depth from newer camera angles and improved 3d rendering. Vpins are really good for learning rule sets and developing strategies

Yes arcade 1up has that in the attack from Mars bundle….. but I would recommend getting an ATgames legend and running free VPX software thru a computer linked to the vpin cabinet. You can get all the classic games like medieval madness and many newer titles as well.

Congrats on the new machine! I know the feeling, Maiden was my first machine….definitely an advanced layout for a beginner but so much fun once you understand the rules and dial in the shots.

agree and I am just focus on basic ball control and skill development and do ok. Started with low score now up to 80 million as best game so far after day of practice@@Major_Drain

Unless it’s changed, the only difference between the XL Megacade is the active marquee, the software and games are the same on both models. The system is way more reliable with the new Launch Box front end compared to Hyperspin.

The trick is to use the ball save time and drain out intentionally once you start triple knights challenge so you get the auto feed back up to the upper playfield,……gives you a good chance for the stack, especially if you already have 1-2 balls locked.

The layout has amazing flow when you dial in the shots but can be brutal if your off.

@@Major_Drainthanks. I look forward to putting some games into it

I definitely prefer a real physical machine over a virtual table….. but a we’ll done table (like VPW versions) gives me 75% of the satisfaction of playing the real thing, close enough in most cases.

I’m lucky to have found one still in the box, thanks for watching my man👍🏼

Yeah that’s one of my favorite aspects of virtual as well, especially for EMs as I don’t want to waste the valuable space in my game room but still enjoy playing them.

What version are you playing? I have a version that stutters pretty bad on my cab but the Mikcab_Mod and BigusMod versions run smoothly. Maybe try reducing the texture rate from unlimited in VPX preferences, sometimes there can be bottle neck there.

@@Major_Drain Ok I will check that out, for me it's been all of them lagging more or less. The best one was actually the newly released nude version. It have the least amount of lag but not smooth like other tables. I wonder do I have to choose from only those 3 texture options or can I adjust it more manually? There is one around 3k, then 2k and then last around 1k or unlimited. It seem a bit strange that 3k is highest then unlimited is the next choice. Where is 4k, 6k, 8k, 10k etc? Unlimited = infinity is a big step from 3k lol. Thanks for your help, I will test this 3k, I just hope it won't make the game look bad. It definitely seem to suck resources in a strange way. FPS going from 350 Down to 30 all over the place. Must be a problem with the tables lights in general because most of the lag comes in with the announcing guy and I guess the lights that trigger with him is what trigger the lag. Same with multiball or getting that early coffin multiball. Back to testing all tables again and tweak settings, cheers!

Yeah It’s a really fun table with great lighting effects…..did they ever fix the issue with leaking memory on this table? ….would always freeze up deep into the game

@@Major_Drain I must admit I haven't been further than 1st wizard mode (4 children rescued). All was ok for me so far.

Unfortunately I don’t own a real cyclone machine to compare.

Pretty happy especially after they added another 40 courses and online play!

Thanks. Finally have one coming to Canada 🇨🇦. No online for us up here but happy to get the unit. Thanks for the feedback.

The real machine is much harder and more fun but it is crazy expensive when the virtual table gives you the same vibe for free.

Yes indeed I have Zen Pinball FX3 on my virtual pinball cabinet, they have some fun original tables.

Click on the full screen…..using vertical layout is superior to wide angle for pinball videos, it let’s you see all the action as close as possible comparatively.

Very comparable actually.

Haha yeah this particular table is extremely frustrating with the auto plunge during multiball, or auto drain as it should be called! I’m sure there are settings that can be adjusted but since it was for league play I had to play it as is. It has some fun shots and the rules are easy to learn but deep enough to keep you coming back for more. Most newer tables have live catches coded in but on many of the older VPX tables it wasn’t possible…..yes you can also tap pass. That is a good idea to have an advanced training table with all the latest flipper maneuvers coded in just for practice. You could make your own but not sure how easy it is to import/code all the flipper physics. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

I kind of prefer the way it’s setup currently, makes it a bit more challenging and fun but I could see why people would want the whole head activated. This makes the ring master strategy even more lucrative being able to easily stay in that mode with hits to the ring master.

Thank you, I appreciate all the feedback and support! Hopefully I can help out any players who are struggling with the rules/strategy. Your XGC machine is going to have all the coolest new toys and features, let us know when it arrives!
