Pinball Repair - A Display for the Vector

Dave adds a display screen to the Bally Vector pinball machine.
My video where I add a display to my Flash Gordon pinball goes into a lot more detail on each of the steps listed in this video. Watching it may be useful if you are trying to follow the steps and add a display to your own pinball: • Pinball Repair - Addin...
Changes required for best display of video:
• Edit the file /boot/video_looper.ini using a text editor
• Find the line (near the end of the file) that begins “extra_args”
• Add the command “--win 0,-60,800,420 --aspect-mode letterbox” to the end of this line:
• extra_args = --no-osd --audio_fifo 0.01 --video_fifo 0.01 --align center --font-size 55 --win 0,-60,800,420 --aspect-mode letterbox
• This will display your video as ultrawide with black bars top and bottom, and scroll the top black bar off the top of the screen, in order to fill the upper half of the Waveshare screen.Dave adds a display screen to the Vector.
The following lines need to be added to the end of the file config.txt to get a WaveShare 5-inch DPI LCD screen running:
dtoverlay=dpi24
enable_dpi_lcd=1
display_default_lcd=1
dpi_group=2
dpi_mode=87
dpi_output_format=0x6f005
hdmi_timings=800 0 40 48 88 480 0 13 3 32 0 0 0 60 0 32000000 6
disable_overscan=1
display_rotate=2

⁠thanks! I have a Dolly I’m fixing up sooner or later. This would be a cool thing to add. Like it playing music videos or something.

Dolly Parton, I assume? Good game. Not all the old ballys have a suitable spot for a video display. I was thinking maybe one of the card slots could be used. BTW, see my other video where I add a video display to the Flash Gordon. I give a lot more detail on the steps required.

Neat!

Thanks! A lot of research went into this. I hope others can follow with their pinballs.

That’s pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing.
