I have been thinking of doing this for years since Bally's released their virtual version for PC and PS3. You have kicked it way up and better. The Bally's PC version was amazing when used in high resolution with a force feedback controller and you have taken that and made it a true virtual pinball machine with all the sounds, feel, feedback, and even looks. Its just amazing and I think I have my next project with your video breaking it down it to a much more understandable with the parts needed and since we are in black friday sales and already have all PC components and highed upped monitor. A close friend's dad does restoration for a living and has offered me free old pinball cabnet and he has a lot of the internals including front coin slot because his client wanted every thing replaced even with it all working also has all the glass that had a non scratch cover on it. I'm hoping will help the look and not cause any reflection issue that some glass does. But there is some covers that fix this issue and also stops any scratching from happening. You have laided out such a great basic list of parts, software, and the most important part of how to integrate them all with a PC. I just have 1 question and that is there any over heating issues with a TV and PC in the one cabinet. If so did you install any new fans and where were you using the old 80mm. I know most pinball machines had 1 or 2 old 80mm fans in the back. So did you cut it wider for new standard and way better 120mm fans. I know removing a lot of the old school lights and using LED lights alone is huge cut in heat and all the internal motors and everything else has been removed and been replaced by PC and TV but wondering how much did it change the heat because there is no way with a PC and TV that the temps didnt go up. Maybe I missed one of the videos on it. If so please direct me to it. But again amazing job on something I have been working out on paper slowing for a few years and was really struggling on the parts and where or how to convert them so PC could us them because there was really nope software back or parts when I was focusedl on it. I'm amazed what you have done because as myself being a electrical engineer and over 25 years in computers I dont think most people unstand the complexities that goes into what you have done for bring the sounds, feel, feedback, upper monitor, the old simple pixel display, and make it all work with so many different pinball games like they were many years ago. You got a Home run if you ask me. I know there are others that do this but knew have be really able to do so much interface, feel, sound, and games under one cabinet with so many different pinball games under that one cabinet. I have yet to see one even close to yours and keep all the looks and feel a lot don't even come close to having the same number of choices. They all fall short in 1 and mainly 2 areas. You have really blow my 🤯 away and I truely hope to start seeing you saling these as there are so many of us huge pinball lovers and there is always a way to get license or direct poeple how to do so themselves without breaking the law just like a lot of these old style game interfaces that legally have 1000s of games on them in higher resolutions.
Wow, thanks for the great comment. I go over the ventilation briefly in one of the video's, but there are 2 small 80mm fans in the front as intake and 2 120mm fans on the back as exhaust. Heat buildup is definitely not an issue but I don't know exact temps. The only thing I noticed is when I open up the cab after playing for a while it's lukewarm inside, which is definitely OK. If you're scratching your head to figure this out, go look at the Pinscape Build Guide. It's the ultimate resource for this. Good luck!
Spectacular! I've been toying with the idea for years, and I think your series has pushed me over the edge. Great job on the build and the editing, really great work! 👍
Hi mate.Thanks so much for your series.Really great detail and help. After watching though I realise just how much work needs to go into it.While i will have the time and budget to build I dont think I can wait so long to be playing the final result.We have a company here in Australia called Extreme Gaming Cabinets that do a nice machine that would equal about €3500 to buy.While being more expensive than your fantastic build I think the extra cost to be playing sooner may be worth it. No matter what thanks again for your great series.
It took my very long, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. I wanted everything to be perfect, down to the small details, so that takes a lot more time than building something that needs to be playable. Also, I built for 2 years, but after about half a year I could already play. After that I could add things to it to enhance the experience, which is also great fun. Buying a machine is also definitely a good option, but I can't speak on any of the vendors as I don't have experience with them
@@overtinker.projects Good points.Yes i guess you got the basics done and then enhanced. You should be very proud of where your machine has got too.Well done.
I just used plain old Arial. The font size varies for each button as I stretched all the text out to cover most of the button. The circles that go in those front buttons are about 21,6mm in diameter
Probably obvious and you're way past that, but just in case... did you make sure your TV is put into "Game Mode"? That usually helps a lot with latency.
I watched your progress and you have talent in both electronics and video editing. Well Done and thank you for the shout out!
Thanks for following along!

Amazing final details, the most comprehensive virtual pinball machine I've ever seen! Well Done!! 😃😎
Thank you for the amazing compliment! And thank you for watching
Spectacular! I've been toying with the idea for years, and I think your series has pushed me over the edge. Great job on the build and the editing, really great work! 👍
That's amazing to hear. What a great compliment. Good luck and have fun!

Awesome project.
Congratulations!
Maybe i missed something, but do your table have ability to be nudged from left, right and center?
Thank you! And yes, there's an accellerometer in the Pinscape so it detects all nudges
Could you please provide the font and size you used for your button labels?
I just used plain old Arial. The font size varies for each button as I stretched all the text out to cover most of the button. The circles that go in those front buttons are about 21,6mm in diameter
This is awesome
Thanks for the compliment!
Probably obvious and you're way past that, but just in case... did you make sure your TV is put into "Game Mode"? That usually helps a lot with latency.
Yes it is, good that you mention it, I forgot to say something about it but that's definitely important
Super mooie pinball machine
Bedankt!
03:07 I feel like Teri Garr in Young Frankenstein... 👀
I have no clue what either of those references are 😄
Wauw, wat is ie mooi geworden
Dat vind ik ook! Al zeg ik het zelf 😁
@@overtinker.projects echt heel tof om 't te zien. Hoop dat mijn Vpin build enigszins in de buurt komt ooit 😀
Dat heb je zelf in handen natuurlijk. Veel succes alleszins!
@@overtinker.projects dankjewel, in je video's staan wat mooie ideeën die de kans op succes wel vergroten 😀
