Looks great mike, thank you for finally making a pin ball machine vid! 👍 I never knew pinball game play could be so entertaining.
Great build. When you did a close up of the gameplay it looked like a real machine.
Thanks! Yeah, it's very realistic, however, it really only works if you're standing right in front of it. The illusion breaks down if you're watching from the side.
Nice Build!!! I got one too built it from scratch also Feels good to have a Pinball Machine in your home Who woulda thunk it!!
Feels good to have ~500 pinball machines in your home he he.
Had put off watching this video for a few days. Wow I am so impressed with your build. If you decide to license the games and go into production of these machines I would back your venture. (Though I am not rich, I could see were I might be when these table caught on.) To play an actual table that you could change the play field at random would bring back the era of pinball. And open up a new job market to produce new games.
Thanks! The software isn't mine to license. Everything is free and supported by a great community. The only thing I could sell is the cabinet, but honestly, it would be a crazy small niche market. There are a few companies out there that sell them in kits or fully assembled already. They run about $5,000 if they're fully assembled.
Great! I'd love to have my own cabinet at some point. For now I'm just enjoying the Williams tables on Pinball FX3.
Those are Pinball FX2/3 tables via Steam. You can un-enable those in pinball x game manager
Plunger? there are some really cool digital plungers that will add more realism. Great Job.
Thanks! At the time that I built this, there was only one digital plunger available and it was extremely backordered (not to mention very expensive). I don't mind the button, but it would have been cool to have the plunger!
That is mental! I would love to make one.Very nice,and i guess that even if you play the hell out of it,the worst damage you can do to it, is on the buttons.
Exactly lol. It was a super fun project. I would definitely do it again if I had to.
Great video mike. I cant believe you made that
Awesome dude!
That's great! Awesome job!
I Thought the machine was electomechanical from the thumbnail , this looks indistinguishable :P
Top Marks! What a great thing!
im so impressed with your virtual pin mate
Very very nice. I'm entertaining doing one myself. Did you fabricate the steel work and legs? Or did you buy it somewhere?
I bought them from here: virtuapin.net/ It was a whole kit for a widebody setup. It was expensive, but worth it for the authentic look imo
This is so cool!
Thanks for sharing. I've built cabs and am just finding out about pinball emulators.
Mike, have you ever played Galaga? That is one of my favorite arcade games.
Wish I had a pinball machine
Thanks for the great idea 's for making my own
Great cab
Mike did you buy the coin door without the coin mech. on the backside or did you remove them and where did buy the coin door.
I would like to buy the coin door without a coin mech. because it would be cheaper.
The coin door came with the kit I purchased to finish off everything. I just found the link and noticed the price has increased quite a bit though :/ virtuapin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=9&products_id=35&zenid=h4slrhuofd5p4vuu2nb1b0v360
@@MikeBigFrog Thanks for the info. But I do not want to buy the kit just to get the coin door. Amazon have a nice one that had a single coin & mech. door for $29.95 + shipping But they sold out back at Christmas and they do not know when they will get more. O well I will keep looking.
Nice vid! The first thing i’m building after I move next month. Are u using 3x monitor or 2x and a dot?
3 monitors. I'm not sure what options there are now for the true DMD, but it was crazy expensive when I built this 5 years ago. The DMD is a tiny 16" widescreen monitor.
Hey dude nice setup! Would it be possible for you to make an iso or torrent of the software? It would helps a lot of us setting up one!
All of the software is free and has a huge community of supporters. If I made an ISO, none of those great contributors would get the credit they deserve.
Very nice video and fun to watch.
Aww mike great video!
Excellent job well done
That's cool!
mike this is awesome
What size tv did you use and specs and type of glass and thickness and size. This looks amazing
It's a 42" 1080p TV for the playfield. To fit it in the cabinet, I had to remove the plastic around the TV (voiding the warranty). The backglass monitor is a 32" 720p, and the DMD is a 17" laptop screen. The glass over the playfield is 3/16" tempered glass.
Hi Mike can you make tutorial video how to make this nice machine. I want one in my room
To do a whole tutorial I'd have to make a second one lol. The woodworking part was pretty straight forward. Is it the electronics part that you need help with? I could make something probably.
very impressive. make yourself a little wix site, maybe you could make a few on commission.
I keep saying that myself actually :)
I'd like to know the size of the monitors 43? 26?, brand names, model numbers and where you got the DMD and its size. I guess I'm asking for a build list (minus the PC parts). When I built my gaming PC, I kept a build list - I think everyone should. That was PinballX as your frontend, right? I just have a desktop setup with 45 tables and am having a blast. I've just started the PinballX part. I have 32assassin's wheel pngs, mp4s, and malarrya's xml. I'm also into emulating (PC LaunchBox/BigBox and retrogaming on the Pi 3b). Oh, for your video snaps, are you using mp4s or f4vs? Some youtuber once said they had to be f4vs, but it was an old video and I'm guessing we've moved on to mp4s since that's what my media download had.
What are you using for the buttons, an IPAC?
I'm using this controller: groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82&products_id=306
There looks like there is a bit of input delay. Is it bad at all?
If there is a delay, I don't notice it while playing or I subconsciously compensate for it.
this is amazing!
Cool Vid Mike
:O WHAT THATS SO COOL
I am trying to build one. How do you know what motherboard to use? And how do you know how much RAM to use?
To make this work and work well, you need to build a mid-level gaming PC. If you're going with Intel, you would want an i5 and at least 16GB of RAM. The PC in this cabinet is 5 years old. It has a GTX 760 video card and 8GB RAM. The processor is AMD, but I can't remember which one. It was pretty fast with 4 cores.
Can you tell about the amp and speaker system you used? which ones did you use for the speaker panel and which sub? is the amp powerful enough?
The amp I used is: www.amazon.com/Lepy-LP-2020A-Digital-Amplifier-Stereo/dp/B00C2P61FO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1534702605
It's really powerful and I have no complaints about it.
The speakers I used are: www.amazon.com/BOSS-Audio-CH6530-Range-Speakers/dp/B000J1FABY/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8
They were on sale for $12 at the time. Pretty much any car audio 6.5" speakers will work. I suggest finding ones that you like the look of the grill. I ended up buying different grills for these because they didn't match the cabinet.
Good luck!
Thanks ! I'll check these out
I'm making a pinball and I use pinballx as frontend but I can't see table videos, what codecs did you use? or how did you make to?
quick question where did you buy the bezel?
Sorry for the 2 month old reply. Are you referring to the bezel around the backglass monitor? If so, I made that myself with acrylic from Home Depot. I taped and papered the center and spray painted the rest with black paint. Put that part facing the monitor and it looks clean.
nice. i have a gtx 780. im building now
What size tv did you use for the playfield?
I used a 42". I had to remove the plastic around it and cut very deep grooves into the sides of the cabinet to fit it though.
Is there a way you could make the coin door work..so you could put quarters in?
Yes, you can purchase an actual coin door and hook the redemption line to the controller instead of having an "insert coin" button like I have.
Hi, nice pinball set up.
I'm building one but i dont know how to strech the playfield on visual pinball.
Can you help me please
All of the new tables are defaulted to desktop mode. You need to edit the tables directly to disable desktop mode. There are tons of tutorials that show you how to do this.
id hate to rain on your parade mike , but there is a mouse living in your pinball machine
AHAHAHA Realy ??? tell me what time you see the RAT ??? Anyway his did a GOOD JOB ! ! !
Wow really awesome :)
analog nudgung is easy and totally not buggy ;) i only say pincontrol.
But your Artwork is nice
Will you build me one ?
What did you use for your controllee
Sorry for the late response. UA-cam blocked this for whatever reason. I use this: groovygamegear.com/webstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=82&products_id=306
Can you play the futurama game next please ? *O_O*
Hello! Its fantastic! iam triyng record your hardware: 42'' tv at 1080p por playfield / 32'' at 720p for backglass and a 17'' laptop screen for the DMD. U can tell the rest cpu hard? Love it
The rest of the hardware isn't impressive or anything. The most important part is the GPU. The processor is a dual core AMD (I don't remember the model number) and it's got 4GB of DDR3. Having an SSD helps a lot too, but again, the video card is the part you should spend your money on. This one uses a GTX660.
@@MikeBigFrog hello! You sure its a Dual Core? Iam using Dell i7 with 8gb of ram + Radeon R7 DDR4 512mb and when i star any table load for a seconds and back to main menu. Thanks
@@OtroPl4n That sounds like a different issue, not a hardware thing. That hardware is more than capable of running pinball tables. Try checking and making sure you have your tables, backglasses, and roms all set up correctly. Also check settings and options in the software you are using.
Which one is better visual pinball x or future pinball?
At the time of making this cabinet, I felt that visual pinball was superior in almost every way. I haven't looked at future pinball for years, so I can't answer this with confidence now.
who's shelly?
My girlfriend.
First....
I mean, first person that said first. That counts too, right?
Very nice pinball machine. By the way, is that 115 Million your highscore on Medieval Madness?
That is my high score. That's when I beat it one time.
Hi
Hello :)
Pinballx is the best
How do you win a pinball game? What does it mean?
by playing it! smfh
which screen did you used for the dot matrix display?
It's been so long I don't remember. It was a really inexpensive 15" or 17" widescreen monitor.
just use a little pc monitor
