- As a follow up to my Xtreme Gaming Cabinets Premium Vpin Delivery/Uncrating and Setup video I go over some of the upgrades I chose to get and follow up with a little bit of game play to show off features like the Blower Fan, Gear Motor, and genuine Stern Shaker motor.

G'day Andrew. Just found your channel and its great mate. I have a premium table ordered and should be getting built soon. Thanks so much for this video and I'll head back and watch your others. Extreme Gaming Cabinets do a great job of sharing videos, they are so transparent with their products, but it's still good to see and hear reviews for customers.
Again, Thanks Andrew for the time you have put in here for all us Pinball and gaming nuts. Cheers. Gaz.
Just watched your uncrating of this beast - very cool stuff and amazing it arrived in perfect condition from so far away. While I'm having a blast modding my AtGames Pinball (and having so much fun with VPX), I'm looking forward to making a VPin build from scratch at fullscale size. Subbing and looking forward to more stuff 👍
Excellent video, Thanks for sharing!
Wow, I never realized how much UA-cam would degrade the video. This looks so fuzzy compared to how it plays on my PC. I'll need to look into my export settings to see if I can't improve the image quality.
tagged you in our facebook group brother.
Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the show and tell, still waiting on my XGC pinny, your video just makes the waiting harder 😏
Regarding videoing, maybe have a chat with D Dodd, who has done lots of vids with his XGC machine, might have some good tips, but what you produced looked good.
Subbing to get my fix...Cya on the fan forum..
Great comments regarding table authors and how XGC fits in., totally agree and like how you give the excellent authors feedback.
🇦🇺
Great video! Looking forward to future videos!!
More to come!
@@andrew21742 I notice the 2 in 1 on the floor. Was curious if you see any logical place for hooks to store on or under the cabinet?
@@HappyGamer74 stay tuned… I have some ideas for that I’ll discuss in an upcoming video about the 2n1 control panel and Hyperspin drive!
Can’t wait to see VR video I got it added on my machine very interested 😀
Hi Andrew, I would love to see more follow ups on your extreme gaming cabinets VPIN. How are you getting on with it one year on?
Great video, I just put in a order for my Vpin from XGC I was curious, Is there a video on how to download tables like you mentioned for this cabnit? Or can you possibly make one for is newbies, so we can support the table creators? I want to get Big Trouble in little China on the table pack, but have no clue on how to download a pack on this Cabnit once i get it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and sure do like videos on this Vpin.! Cheers.
Congrats! I cant wait to order mine. XGC completely blows Recroomworld VP cabinets out of the water. Rec Room is charging $9000+ for a cabinet with less quality, features, less solenoids, bland artwork, and subpar screens (screen terrible when compared with XG438Q). My quote from XGC for a Premium cab with all the upgrades (Except titan and plywood) was $7800 shipped to the US. Once you see them in person its shocking how much of a difference there is between them. If you are willing to wait a few months, XGC's cabinets are a no brainer! Just look at the design and craftsmanship alone.
Recroomworld thinks because they have a 49 inch screen that theirs is better. It's not. The owner also talks about how their pins are angled downward like a real pin compared to XGC. As you can see XGC is clearly having no issue with that. Recroomworld also thinks 144hz is pointless so that's why that don't offer it. Clearly it is beneficial. They also boast about their quick turnaround time when ordering. Easy to say because none of their stuff is built in house. They are all mass produced in China. Obviously people are not that concerned waiting the 12 or so months for an XGC pin as business is booming.
@@PowerNGlory For sure! I have a feeling XGC will hire a couple more employee's soon to ramp up. It seems everyone realized they were the obvious choice a the same time haha. later. .
Hey Andrew,I have been following you for a time now on UA-cam.When I saw your videos I decided to order a Vpin machine & an Arcade machine from Xtreme gaming in april 2023.I paid the 2 machines and received the invoices and in june this year around the 2end of june they sended me the shipment qoute for overseas shipment for the Vpin machine and I asked them to get the shipment quote for the both machines and since that question around 21 june they don’t answer my mails anymore?I really don’t know what is happening?I ‘m already thinking I will never see my machines.Sorry for bothering you with this but do you maybe know if they still exist?I’m from Belgium(Europe).Your videos where great to watch 👍👍

@@Busa-power I know they are heads down trying to put the final polish on 3 different systems, the light gun drive, the 32tb beast arcade drives, and the newest VPin release. After the issues with Integrum Retro not following through on updating the drives and providing support XGC decided to pull all that back in-house and do it themselves. Since they are a relatively small mostly family run business it’s easy to get heads down and focused on something. Since you’ve gotten your final invoice that means they’ve started production on your machines. It can still take a couple months once production starts depending on what you have chosen for your builds. Also, I’m sure since the updated vpin drive is so close they are holding releases until that’s complete. My suggestion would be to call Donna in the morning. Seems like 10am Queensland time is a pretty good time to reach her. I don’t leave voicemails when I call because I know how busy they are, I just keep trying until I reach her, but she will answer if she’s not on another call, I’ve never had an issue of not being able to get her on the phone. AND… most importantly, I’m not aware of a single person saying XGC took their money and didn’t deliver, that’s not who they are. They build the best stuff out there and because of that they are very very popular. It’s difficult for a small business to ramp up production and still maintain the quality they are known for, but they are actually doing a good job with that. So… don’t worry, your machines will get built and delivered.
@@andrew21742 Hey Andrew,thanks a lot for answering 🙏I will be patient and wait .I never did push anything and had always good communication with them. I ‘m glad to here this from you ,makes me less worried. I will keep you informed about the future.I was a bit desperate about the situation.🤔Thanks a lot again and enjoyed a lot your videos 👍👌

@@Busa-power I’m glad you enjoyed the videos! I’ll be doing some more when I receive my updated drives show how the upgrades go.
Hi Andrew, love your vPin from XGC. A question for you, in your video you described providing feedback to the game creators are you able to download new pinball games into the XGC VP cabinet?
So, the simple answer is yes. XGC provides you a drive that is unlocked so that you can download and add new tables without messing up your machine. However, what I’m referring to in the video is a little different. When ever I play a table on the Cab that I haven’t played yet, I go out on my pc and download the table and leave a comment for the table creator so they get the feed back for the download. I’m not sure I’m still making sense… lol. So let me give you an example. Let’s say I just got my machine brand new from XGC, and the first table I play is Monster Bash. I can see when the table boots which version it is so I write that down in my notebook, then once I’m done playing I go to my PC, not the vpin, and download that table and leave a comment. So the creator gets the feedback. I didn’t install anything new to the XGC machine yet, but the creator still gets the download and the feed back. Clear as mud? LoL
@@andrew21742 Hi Andrew, I understand what you’re telling me. I belong to many Facebook VP forums . I have been wanting one of these or two build one for a while now. Buying one is sounding more realistic to me as I know the constant tweaking and upgrading will be a necessary process for the long term if I built my own. I like your videos, they very well done. 👍🏻
Great Video
Thanks!
Great video Andy😊
Thanks for watching
Curious what your experience has been since making this video. Any new insights after more use?
Still love as much as the day I got it. The only issue I’ve had with it was a solenoid crapping out, which happens and was only a $10 fix. I could have called XGC and they would have warranted it, but it was just way faster to go to my local NAPA and grains for $8 and replace it. The only thing I don’t like about my VPIN is that it’s not the new version 2.0 cab. The newest version is so nice as far as the screen tilt and how everything is now labeled internally. I’m close to ordering another and giving my existing one to a friend.
do you have more details about the blower fan?
Wow, great setup. Can you show us your flight and racing simulator. Odd question, what is the wall color your using - great color?
I have plans to do videos on everything in the Retro Basement. But I have several more Videos planned for my XGC machine before I start to get to other stuff. As for the color of the basement walls, it’s called Sea Serpent, and is available at Sherwin Williams. I used the Cashmere quality of paint.
Awesome Vid, Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
I think Xtreme gaming do sell hard drives with pinball games on it
I need to be very careful with this response. So, they DO offer updated drives for sale to customers of XGC Vpin's only. They do not sell drives to the public, because frankly that would be pointless as they wouldn't work. The drives are locked down and configured specifically for the hardware XGC uses to build their machines. The updated drives still require XGC to dial in to each cabinet to do the final configuration before it will work. The drive is frozen/locked down in such a way that it's useless to anyone unless configured by XGC for a machine they've built. And still, the updated drives are simply done to bring the software such as VPX, DOF and BAM up to the latest version. Anyone with an XGC vpin can go grab the tables from any of the sites that offer them, they don't need to buy an updated drive. And you are 100% correct when you say XGC wouldn't sell as many pinball machines with out properly configured software on them... It's the rock solid configuration of a XGC vPin that people who just want to play pinball and not learn to install software love...
Hi Andrew, I just got my Premium 3n1 recently and I have a few questions. Hoping you can share your experience and answer a few. DM?
Sure, what’s the questions?
@@andrew21742 The tilt doesn’t seem to ever activate. We noticed there is some electrical tape on parts of the gold ring that the tilt bob hangs in. Should that tape be removed?
I’m unable to locate the inline switch for toggle between digital and mechanical tilt.
Sometimes after playing a few different tables, the background music on Pinup Popper goes quiet and previews of the tables no longer appear. When you then select a table, the screen goes to the desktop briefly but then the table loads. Is this normal?
Pinball FX tables will not load and play. Message on the DMD says “view locked”.
Seems to matter in what order we connect the removable arcade panel in order to get buttons and trackball to work properly. Any insight on this?
Thanks!
@@jenniferad3039 wow, ok… so the tilt can typically be very touchy and overly sensitive. The tape is on there to help with that. You could open the door during a game and physically move the Bob over to touch the ring and see if it tilts. If it’s not working you’ll want to contact XGC before you do anything else with that. There could be a wire off or something else that’s a simple solution.
As for the video stuff with popper, I usually only see that when you start a new table before the system has reset after exiting a previous table. This is a popper thing and not anything particular to XGC’s build. You want to make sure after you exit a table you do not launch a different table until DOF resets. You’ll be able to tell when this is because the LEDs will start going again. Then you can launch a new table. Depending on the table you were exiting this time can vary.
As for FX, do you mean FX2/FX3? I don’t have the new Pinball FX on my 1.7 drive,
As for the add on control panel you need to plug it in to the USB ports before you boot to the Hyperspin drive.
@@andrew21742 Thanks very much.
@@andrew21742 Thanks. Tilt works correctly. Using the arcade panel with the vertical games from Pinup Popper, are you able to use the trackball on Centipede? Mine doesn’t work on the vertical games, just the horizontal on the back glass through Hyperspin. Did you conclude that the joysticks on the arcade panel cannot be changed to 4 way? The 8 way makes all the PacMan games difficult to play for sure. I really do like the system, just trying to learn the ins and outs, since I have no expertise in the world of vpins.
Does nudging work on this machine? Hows nudging feel compared to a real pin?
Yes, nudging does work on the machine, the machine uses a Pinscape board and nudging is enabled and configured on the Pinscape. As for how does it work? Surprisingly well for a video game, but keep in mind nothing feels exactly like a real pin, but a real pin.
What made you choose this over the pinball king in florida?
wow this could take a while to list. I went and played one of his Kraken machines in Northern Virginia and talked to the guy who bought it, and it just wasn't even close to an XGC machine. It's not that it's horrible, I'd say it's a Honda Civic compared to a Ferrari. It only has 6 solenoids, this one had really crappy side rails and lockdown rails that basically just looked like Aluminum angle with plastic corners. The shaker motor was garbage and under powered... but the kicker was the software and lack of programming. I was very underwhelmed. Closest thing to an XGC machine in the US is LAB Arcades, but even then you don't get the programming which was a critical thing for me, and then there's things like the newer Future Pinball stuff and Pup Packs, I believe XGC is the only builder who has that stuff standard in all their models.
@@andrew21742
I was so ready to buy local. But i think you have convinced me to go australia. How much was your import tax? I bought a lord of the rings sword made by the sword master himself in new zealand. And it was like 600 dollars. Shipping was expensive too. And the bastards at customs notified my state i bought something and then my state wanted a piece of the action too.
Did you make those pinball signs? Do you sell them?
Yes, I made them with my Laser Cutter. They are 3mm MDF, sealed with shellac, and then painted and glued. I don’t sell them, but I will be doing a video on how to make them in the future.
What did shipping cost?
You would need to call Donna at XGC to see what rates are going for today. When my machine shipped they had started to come down from the Covid supply chain issues that had them sky high. I think by ship it was $1,800-1,900.00 to the USA. I did Air Freight which was roughly $3500.00
Any chance you would want to clone the 1.6 system? Lol name your price.
@@XtremeGamingCabinets if you Say so lol
@@XtremeGamingCabinets first of all, my post was a joke.
You somehow think the community supports you, when they Hate you. Your a theif. Putting support authors at the end of a sentence doesn't change the fact your using stolen software. Everything from pinup popper to the actual tables your including is all against the owners wishes.
Your whole business is one lawsuit away from being shut down. But like a inbred , you post videos of megacades full of stolen Nintendo roms.
And that whole, I'm not selling the software, I'm selling the hardware doesn't fly when it comes to civil law.
You have zero chances of success if you come here. The community doesn't support you, and you treat other people in the industry like trash. Thats not how we do business here. Even with our competitors.
But keep calling people names on the internet tough guy. Your a real class act.
Let us know how 3D feels
I'll be doing a full video on setting up the Oculus Rift-S with the VR drive and how the cab acts a controller.
@@andrew21742 ill be coming back here when I get mine. My only advice is working on the gameplay recording, it was hard to see!!! Widescreen is probably needed
@@DynoMikeGaming Thanks for the feedback, I wanted to try to show all the screens. I'll be improving my recording setup as I create new content.
Yeah but without them games he probably wouldn't sell as many pinball machines . If you look at it he is making money from them pinball games , who going to spend over $10k on pinball machine with no games on it , just saying
I get what you are saying, but the software on the machine is free. It’s free to download from many different sites and he doesn’t charge for it. What he charges for and protects is his time spent setting up the configuration of that software to work with the specific hardware of the machines he builds. There are builders in the US who sell Vpins for 10,000 that don’t include software, they include information on where to get a hard drive from overseas to run in the vPins they sell, and those hard drives don’t include things like DOF, or Pup Packs. XGC machines are the best production manufactured Vpins in the world, and like all things, you get what you pay for.
