  • A video demonstrating the features and functionality of my recent virtual pinball cabinet build. Later in the video I cover some of the challenges associated with the construction and explain how you too can build one of these magnificent machines.

    Great video and build!! I was thinking of building one of theses after my arcade cabinet build but haven't found any recent videos on youtube. Thanks for all the tips and info. you did a great job.

    I have so many questions about the build, menu system/games but I'll just leave it at- your virtual pinball machine is amazing! Thanks for the inspiration.

      Yeah for real. I looked at some virtual pinball tables and they cost a fortune. I found these ones that were $5000 and the framerate is terrible it's not fast like his, and none of the ones I saw (not even the $9000 ones) had the thing with the Xbox Kinect that does the 3D lookaround thing.. that's pretty awesome.
      I wonder if anyone sells drives for this. I was all up for it until I learned he had to take videos of all three screens for every pinball table. That's where I checked out I'm like nah. I will buy one pre-made lol.. or maybe I can just build it but then buy the drive.

      EquipmentReviewer hi. You'll need i5 or i7 pc. Gtx660 or greater video card. 3 video outputs needed, 3gig on video... find old pinball cab as body. 28 or 32 inch backglass monitor.. 40 or like 46,47 inch monitor for main table depending on cab width.. 14 or 15 inch lcd laptop screen as dmd, just buy driver board on ebay.. virtuapin for vpin parts or kits (plunger kit, speakers, buttons, cab parts etc).. ebay or pinball life for parts too.. software and stuff, (furture pinball, pinball X, vpforums) follow a few of the guys on RUclips far as software install and setup.. solenoids and led lights for the tactile feel If you want original pinball table personality.. may need ledwiz board and or sainsmart relay board for outputs to solenoids and led lights.. I recommend you find an old pinball cabinet and then fit your displays to that and build from there

    Crazy idea. Put together a parts list in a spreadsheet with Amazon / whatever shop you used Affiliate links. Perhaps put together a video or book on how you programmed the menu system and sell that for a dollar or two.
    Might not make a ton of money, but might help you bring this project to a net zero level.

    The object you were pointing to on the Twilight Zone pinball machine was the slot machine in Twilight Zone Season 1 Episode 17 "The Fever". You should add some haptic feedback of some kind on the plunger and the flippers. That satisfying feeling of hitting the ball with the flipper is hard to match.

  • @pmonline111

    4:38 "...if you know what that object is..." Interesting interpretation of the actual twilight zone table. The real table has no item on top the plastic. I believe that it is a 3D slot machine or 3D player piano.

    • @whompmaster

      Certainly a slot machine as it's over the slot machine shot. Also, the piano is red and right next and behind the slot machine. I used to play the crap out of this game in the arcades.

    In FX3 cabinet mode I started getting a second DMD on the playfield. It ONLY pops up when inputting initials or interacting with the DMD (like in Skyrim: Selecting quest with flippers, choosing weapons, etc). I have the DMD size turned OFF in in UI settings. It DOESN'T appear on the playfield during regular play (the DMD is on my 3rd monitor) just when entering initials or otherwise using the flippers to interact with the DMD. Did I mess something up in the settings somewhere? Can anyone help?

    Fantastic Job on the build Shaun !! Just stumbled on it, really like your approach, I'll dig through all the old comments, wanted to know if you have a glass panel over the TV and what you are currently using as your interface software. I'll be incorporating a lot of your ideas when I get around to building my own.

    • @ShaunPurslow
      @ShaunPurslow  7 лет назад +2

      Hi J! In this video I didn't have the glass installed yet. But I have since put a Plexiglas sheet over the playfield. I decided to go with plexi because it was thin, safe and affordable. Plus it looks great. The interface software I use is PinballX. It's totally free and really easy to use. Hope this helps!
