My virtual pinball cabinet build for VPX
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- The story of building my virtual pinball cabinet. Starts with testing Visual Pinball software (VPX) which I just learned about. After successful test, I'm moving on to building the actual cabinet, setting up the PC and upgrading the system a few times. Big thanks to the VPX community for creating such a fantastic piece of software and all the amazing tables.

Well done! I only discovered VPX a few weeks ago and only playing it on the computer. I love the old electro mechanic tables. Back in college I used to own a "real" Bally Centaur, which was one of the first tables I downloaded for VPX and I have to say even just playing it on the PC with keyboard, the feel is an easy 85% of the real thing.
You created something spectacular, your machine looks amazing and your kids are lucky to have you as a Dad! Have a great day!
Thank you very much! ❤
Funny, how we can clearly see you got bitten by the pinball bug, and how the itchy for upgrading it more and more developed . I am the first stage. Just did a controller with flipper buttons, now I want solenoids, soon I will want to build my cabinet . I already have w spare screens here. 😂 Amazing project !
Kumdot, first defintly go for SSF, mean 7.1 sound with speakers, exciters and bass shaker, you wont regret it, promise 😊
Thanks! :) Yeah, I always liked pinball and even considered buying a cabinet but the size was a bit of a problem. Plus new ones are quite expensive and buying an old machine would be full of challenges. The I saw ads for Arcade1up which is nice at first glance but pretty shitty if you look into specs/reviews. The I discovered VPX early this year and thought that I can do it. The rest is history ;) All the best with your build! :)
Fantastic!
Love it, turned out awesome. I really want to go the DIY this time around (still love my modded ALP), but stuff like this gets me going. I don’t have any wood making skills, so I may get a flat pack and handle the internals myself.
Enjoy that little vpin!
Great job on the build. Looks very clean. Always fun to upgrade to the best equipment for performance.
Thanks!
Great work! Takes me back to my build days during Covid.
Nice work man! Looks great!
i did a digital two screen grandfather clock! would like to do this...
Fantastico!!!! veramente bello! good job love it!
Fantastico! Complimenti 👍🏻
Hi buddy, great video, could you show us how did you do your configuration on the system please? your pinball looks great and I would like to build one of them,
thank you in advance.
David.
Awesome.
Great work! I am planning to build one myself. Did you get all the tables in a pack or you got them one by one?
Thanks! Each table installed individually. A lot of work but also great fun. It also allows to adjust the b2s and dmd if needed.
@@BigStork Thanks alot for the reply :) I will build one in the next couple of months!
Really nice setup! Any link to where you bought the buttons?
WooW Bardzo ciekawy Projekt pomimo że mały to zaciekawił mnie może sobie zbuduje podobny hehe
Jakbyś mógł Powiedz:
- Czy sam dobrałeś wymiary czy znalazłeś gotowy projekt ?
- Ile +- wyniósł projekt chodzi bardziej o samą budę, chciałbym miej więcej się przygotować na koszty.
- Co to za monitorek i jak się sprawdza ?
- Jak z głośnością i temperaturami w tak małej budzie ?
Dzięki :) Jeśli chodzi o wymiar, to zauważyłem, że film nie oddaje fajtyczne go odczucia rozmiaru. W rzeczywistości to ta cala 'buda' jest dosyć spora i nikt kto korzystał, nie czuł że jest jakaś zbyt mała, itd. Oczywiście nie jest to wymiar normalnego flippera, ale w czasie zabawy to zupełnie nie ma znaczenia. Dodatkowo gdy monitor jest w pionie to wydaje się większy niż gdy sobie stoi normalnie na biurku. Więc jeśli ktoś nie ma miejsca na większy, to taki jest idealny. Odpowiadając na pytania:
- Projekt zrobiłem sam, a tak naprawdę to nawet projektu nie robiłem tylko miałem go w głowie i wiedziałem jaki mniej więcej rozmiar będzie znając wymiary monitorów. W pewnym sensie obudowałem monitory, trochę 'na czuja' ;)
- Jeśli chodzi o koszty, to zdecydowanie korzystnie wychodzi płyta OSB. Dobry materiał i tani, tylko trzeba potem go albo wyrównać jakoś, albo obkleić grubszym PCV, tak jak ja zrobiłem. U mnie poszło sporo drewnianych listew/belek i to tych grubszych bo chciałem aby konstrukcja była mocna i stabilna. Żadnego wyginania się itp. Nie pamiętam ile to kosztowało ale łatwo policzyć przy okazji wizyty w Castoramie. Pewnie
@@BigStork bardzo udany projekt marzy mi się taki
Good video friend, but a doubt if it's just for pinball for such a powerful order? Or are you going to use it retrobat?
Looking good! What size is the backbox monitor?
Hello. Posso sapere che caratteristiche deve avere il PC per fare questo progetto? Grazie
secondo me ci vuole una scheda grafica di rispetto. ho visto dentro una rtx . quindi gia' questo fa salire i costi...
Super!!🖖🏻
Looks fantastic. How big is the playfield screen?
Thanks 🙂 27in, 1440p, 160Hz.
Wow! Great job! Are you using pinball x for the front end?
@@frostyarcade Thanks 🙂 Yes, PinballX and it works great. Btw, I replaced the micro switches flipper buttons with leaf switches a few days ago. I’ll have a short video on it soon.
what is the song playing in the beggining

Did you install "Solenoids"...a lot more wirings and work if you do though but you'd get almost real rumble feels or vibration like in the real pinball?
I didn't go for solenoids. I was thinking about it but really the 4 exciters and relatively big speakers in the bottom do a great job in this smaller cabinet. You can feel the ball rolling and the vibration/sound of the flippers, etc is very realistic. Also the space in this cabinet is limited so I decided that it's enough :)
O los vendes?

virtual pinballs aren't exciting anymore, now that Zen Studio's pinballs are so awesome.. Zen Studios (creator of Pinball FX) did a conversion of a "Attack from Mars". It's 10x better than the original and it puts the visual pinball version to shame. Once you're played pinball conversions by Zen Studios you wouldn't want to play the same pinballs on visual pinballs anymore.
Nah i disagree, the VPX versions of the "real" tables will always be better for most pinball lovers. Zen is fun but i like realworld tables replicated overall.
Most real pinball fans would disagree with you , sorry.
I'm not an expert on Zen but what I saw in the past was nice but not that realistic. VPX seemed perfect also having read various reviews before starting the build. Since I have IT background and like tinkering, VPX ticks all the boxes for me. But I'll have a look at Zen and maybe decide to install it too. Thanks!
You must be referring the VPX 9 or something, because everything in VPX 10 blows Zen Studios out of the water. Table authors the likes of g5k, flupper, JPSalas, VPW - just to name a very few - are the showcase Visual Pinball wizards.
Man are you a shill for Zen Studios or what?
