    I like this version you are having in this video.
    Still have that version without the acrylic here.
    That stand you have in the video that is something Sharpin needs to sell with these machine.

    I have a sharpin as well but somehow i cant get octopus to work. In the video you make 4 paths , 2 for nudge and 2 for flipper but do i also need one for the plunger.
    Because i see a fifth path which u dont use.
    How do i save the paths and do they only work by starting zen or wiliams through octopus? Or once saved i only have to use the zen or williams apps.

    Got one of these recently! The electrical is a tad different than yours in that I didn’t get the little black box for the monitor at all. Just 1 power cord going from the monitor to the power strip inside, and the HDMI to the cpu. I’m going to switch out the buttons and speakers, and I got these black foam-padded corner protectors like you use when you wanna protect your baby from corners on furniture, etc. Cost me six bucks on EBay! I really find that the corners irritate the palms of my hands, where you rest them! I’m very interested in the plexiglass on top of the monitor! How’s the glare for you on your unit? I wanted to put a matte piece of plexiglass but found out that I’d have to put it right against the glass or there would be fuzziness/color distortion, and I can’t have that! So wondering how the regular plexiglass looks with the matte monitor screen and not quite flush on the monitor looks to you (glare-wise, and clarity-wise? Also, how thick of a piece did you get? 1/16” ?

    are you sure the accelerometer is compatible with Android? It sounds like you are having an issue with the driver.

    Great video, two questions what software are you using to remapped your buttons? And what software I need to download to turn Screen Vertical? Please advise. The reason I ask because I got the GT King tv box like yours but I don’t know what software to used for buttons mapping and turn screen 90 degree. Last question my box will play HBO max apk but no sound. Can you test that for me. Thank you. 😊

    Hi....I just received the ULTRA. From the sounds of the dialog & comments, it would appear that you have more sophisticated users that myself. So...this feedback is for those purchasers. The idea that this can be put together in 30 minutes is not practical. There are virtually no directions...basically you are on your own with respect to assembly. I checked for a "how to" video...none exist. It took me about 3 hours...and I don't know if it works. As an example...the black/red wires; when attaching them there is no direction as to how to do this. It sounds easy...but do you place the red wire on the left or right side? I hope the machine is easier to use than the installation. Just providing feedback...
