Yeah my build was only 25 dollars because I had a bunch of the stuff sitting around... which doesn't mean that the build was 25 dollars because if anybody tried to replicated it then it would cost them hundreds. Lying aka using clickbait isnt the way to get and keep people around.
This is brilliant mate, I have looked at making a pinball machine for a couple of years now and having found this video, I am on it. I would like to explain my joy of listening to a English bloke, because I have lived in the States for 22 years now and your first few words where “ bit and Bobs” that tickles me. So fun and also I could see you sweating with the heat, 40 deg means nothing to us over here. It would be like 95 deg Fahrenheit. Thank you so much for all that, you have given an old English man new hop. John C
@Marlon Gidluck There are no secrets? Its all just standard PC components some arcade controls and an i-pac board creatively arranged. All the software and games are open source and free to download online. As you say a more refined and finished version of this would make a great starter kit the only real problems i can see are getting a consistent supply of the LCD panels as they would have to be of a consistent size. The PC, I-pac and arcade controls could be sourced from anywhere.
@@MrDegsy69 man I love looking at these. You guys are so talented. I am lost with the computer stuff. I have to find one cheap. Yours is cheap but I still dont know what you did. But if I watch enough I'll get it. But I love seeing the talent that you guys are. To me way better than the people that sell them professionally
I love you. I’m prepping to build a full size unit and building one of these will give me some experience before I jump in headfirst. Plus, I wanted one in my repair shop and this one will be perfect to keep in such a dangerous location. Starting to order parts right now...
Nice. I fixed a 3/4 V Pinball cab I bought awhile back that was built the same way where everything can easily removed. Now I want to build a even smaller version since I have the software for it now.
Hi John yes I fancy doing another a bit smaller too and possibly a 3/4 size. Work's got in the way for now though might be a while before I can do much more. Cheers!
stella.... Do you want to build one, invest your time, dull blades from your saw or jigsaw, spend and use wood glue thats expensive and moving parts, dedicate days to make it look neat and functions well, chase down hardware and make it look as nice as possible? plan out the stuff and sell it for dirt cheap and make no profit? i think you wont. . . a real arcade machine or pinball machine, costs THOUSANDS.... and are very very hard to find and super heavy and take tons of space... sooo yyyaaaaa. 500 - 700 isnt "expensive" unles YOU wanna make your own, and see what YOU can sell it for to make a profit for all the time, effort and tools you put in.. *shrug*
People like him (or me) don't do it to make money...They do it for fun, and the satisfaction of completing something entirely unique! For the amount of time that I spend building something much less awesome than this (just a regular upright arcade cabinet, as well as a run-of-the-mill bartop machine), I spent hundreds of dollars - and even more hundreds of hours. But its fun, and a sense of accomplishment! Great job, Gary! I'm gonna try my hand at this now!
Hi Farkasarpi, thanks for your comment. I did make a full-sized table too, but I think something between the two is more practical. Good luck and cheers!
Fantastic idea and work mate! I am in the process of looking to do the same and your design is exactly what I am wanting to do. Thanks for sharing your work with us. :)
Nice work. I'm working on one now that looks very similar. I'm also putting bumpers in mine with mini solnoids that vibrate with the bumpers.. I also made a analogue plunger using a mouse that's upside down that reads the throw. Nice work. I would have stick the monitor controls to the back. Once it's set you don't need them anyway.
Hi & thanks! Yes, I stuck the monitor controls to the back of the monitor once it was set up. I might do more with another project such as feedback and plunger, but unfortunately work has gotten in the way so it might be a while... Cheers!
I have been trying for awhile now to get a zero delay usb board to work with pinball FX3 but have not had any luck at all the program simply wont recognize any of the ones I have on hand. Do you happen to have a link by any chance to the one you used?
Thanks for sharing your build. This has inspired me to try my hand at building one of these. Love the channel name by the way. Always nice to find a fellow Dwarfer in the wild :-)
Hi Bill, it's just a pinball shaped box wih a stripped down computer inside and a monitor flat on top. You don't have to be an expert in anything to build one mate - give it a try! Cheers!
I'm intrigued! Lovely machine you've setup there! I dig the combination of the two types of machine as well. Brilliance! (Considering trying this one day.)
You need to send wicked gamer and collector a message because he love to review one for you ! He does a lot of arcade product reviews :D Great product i like this !
Very good video on Your ultra low budget mini virtual pinball. I hope to build one for under $500 but I am still looking at cabinets and all the parts that I will need. Anyway thanks for the video.
Excellent idea, but you need an actual emulator to get a better immersive experience and have an actual flat table. By which I mean not have the table scrolling up and down. I think the dedicated emulators also give you the back glass as well. So same kit as yours, just more pinball focussed software. I'm building a 3/4 size, great to know the stuff I already have in my workshop will work. But I'll definitel be using your button setup. Apart from size this build is exactly what I was looking for to sort out my electronics. Weirdly I can make space for a floor standing table, but nowhere to put a tabletop model :-) But it's just a case of scaling up the box and screen. Thank you. And English as well :-)
Awesome dude yes there are better ones out there but, this is cool love the way you have done this.. I wouldn't get any work done if had this, gaming all night 😉😜 well done and thanks fir uploading...
I'd pay you $250 for one, my step dad (56) has wanted a real pinball machine his entire life and they're $1000s, this might very well be the next best thing for him.
Arnold J. Rimmer I definitely can't build this myself or I wouldn't have even commented. I only know how to fix computers not modify them and I can't solder to save my life.
My mind has been blown! Fantastic project. I used to build desktops in the late 80's early 90's, get all of my parts (and software) at the monthly computer flea market, some new, some used, some OEM. You have taken that to a new level with this pinball machine. I will be tipping a cold one in your direction very soon. Cheers! I have only tried the MAME / VP games. Are the others similar in setup?
Hi Marcelo, thanks for your kind words. I hope your project works out well too. Future Pinball is similar (free software and tables from the community websites), but hasn't been updated in a while, though some enthusiasts still make tables. It's kinda similar to Visual Pinball in it's layout take a look... Others are Pinball Arcade and Pinball FX3 (current version I think), which are proprietary and available on Steam (and possible elsewhere). These are pretty cool, though some enthusiasts can be a bit anti towards them,, but you should check them out. Cheers!
What is the lag time for the play field monitor? what monitor did you use for the upper monitor cabinet? to load more pinball game files what file extensions names are they using?
Hi Bill the input lag is insignificant even with this very low spec computer - certainly it's barely noticeable and highly playable. I would recommend a minimum 3GHz CPU (dual core or better) and better GPU > GT630 2GB, for smoother play on the few tables which need it, but it's not an input lag issue. If you want the actual monitor spec: www.cnet.com/products/benq-g2220hd-lcd-monitor-21-5-series/ Backglass monitor is a Dell 17" this one - www.amazon.com/Dell-E17-LCD-Monitor-Black/dp/B007IWQELC ?You can find tables on many pinball forums - they use different filenames but once you set up VP and FP you will get a better idea. Cheers Bill!
recommend checking out launchbox, purchasing their inexpensive license which gives access to their "big box" frontend instead of hyperspin. but to each his own. if you're used to HS thats prolly the way to stay with - your vids are givin me some great ideas for setting up a build for my kids and introducing them to the huge library of pinball games there are, but keeping costs down since, as you noted, trying to buy one all made and setup is a ton of $$
Yes I have launchbox and hyperspin on my main computer definitely the most supported Front Ends out there. Hyperspin is too resource heavy for the spec of this machine though...
Hi Ignacio yes there are various camera views including fixed. FX2 does zoom around as part of its design but there is are fixed views when the ball gets into play. Cheers!
It's a BenQ G2220HDA, but i wouldn't recommend this monitor because the control buttons mean the corner needs to be cut off. Something like Acer K242L needs no cutting - though it's slightly bigger and the plans would need to be changed to fit it. Hope it helps!
Okay so it should run on an asrock beebox n3000 if you want to run an even smaller setup. Cool. Plus it has a monitor mount so you can just mount it to the monitor.
Hi Ben! Yes, it's only this cheap because I made it myself. If I made it for someone else, I would charge for my time too, but I wanted to show how anyone can do it for a really low price if they did it themselves! Cheers!
According to your plans and specs, you have a height of 25cm for the bottom panel which would equate to just less than 10". Is something off, because I can't find a monitor with a height without stand of less than 10" that is approx. 22" in size?
Hi, the bottom has no height, it is the floor to the pinball "box". Do you mean the width of the bottom? It is the same as the width of the front and rear pieces (30.5cm), which are all "sandwiched" between the sides (though yes it does look narrower on the plan I drew). The plans aren't to scale but are just to show approximate sizes and panels for the monitor I used (I had it already but would recommend something like Acer K242HL) - you should adapt for the monitor you have. Hope it clarifies.
@@arnoldj.rimmer5116 Thank you Arnold. The bottom panel when installed and looking at it from left to right should be equal to or greater than the height of the monitor when laying it in the box. The Acer you described has a height of 335.9 mm which equates to 13.22". Your plans say from left to right the height should be 25 cm or 9.84". Obviously not big enough for even the Acer. All I was wondering was whether this was a mistake in your specs and plans because it's near impossible to find a monitor that would fit between a left and right panel into the box if the box is only 10" wide. You don't actually provide the width of the "bottom panel" in your drawing, but it looks like it would be the equivalent of the rear height for the left and right panel which was 25 cm. Perhaps that's were the mix up is.
@@echodun Hi mate you are correct. The monitor I used was a Benq G2220 (I had spare), modified to cut the control panel off to make it properly rectangular. I recommend the Acer because it requires no modification (the cable connector layout is also easier) but it does require appropriate modification of the dimensions as you point out. The plan was only intended as a guide to base your own cabinet on. Anyway I hope it helps in a small way if you're planning your own. Cheers!
@@arnoldj.rimmer5116 Thank you for the response. I ended up going with this monitor - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CVL2D2S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 How did you get the textured look on the wood paneling? Is that a wrap of some sort?
@@echodun Hi! Nice monitor, looks ideal. The wrap is here www.aliexpress.com/item/32260499629.html it's pretty generic so you should be able to source similar locally. Cheers!
Hi Derek I used JoytoKey to map buttons on all 4 pinball (FX,Arcade, VPX and Future). I mention it here though not for FX in this clip ruclips.net/video/wVe-TSupO94/видео.html
For the money you've done a fantastic job there. The only improvement I'd suggest (for very little money) is to use a KL25Z board for more realistic nudging. I find the fixed digital nudges in pinball to be totally false. But then again real pin heads will scoff at anything virtual....so it's all relative. Brilliant little project there!
Hi Daniel, it's nothing special, basically just a box, but there's a google drive link in the description to the plans I used - start with these and adapt them to your dimensions. Cheers!
Simple build that has been cleaned up for aesthetics and playability. But little does everyone know that it's really a _computer._ You have been *_bamboozled_* Interesting interface ngl
Awesome work mate! I have been looking into high refresh monitors etc for my build but you got me thinking ill give it a go with what I got laying around first. Thanks for sharing!

Nice work. I'm working on one now that looks very similar. I'm also putting bumpers in mine with mini solnoids that vibrate with the bumpers..

How did you get cabinet mode in pinball arcade . at the least fit arcade mode on vertical screen
Hi, if you enable portrait mode in Windows screen settings before running you should be able to use pinball arcade in that mode. Cheers!
I have been trying for awhile now to get a zero delay usb board to work with pinball FX3 but have not had any luck at all the program simply wont recognize any of the ones I have on hand. Do you happen to have a link by any chance to the one you used?

There is a way to leave the view fixed ? i mean, if the zoom-in/out effect disappear the experience could be so much realistic.

Waoo!!! Awesome job 💪 dude, Thanks for share the video and the information.
One Question , what brand is the vertical monitor?
It's a BenQ G2220HDA, but i wouldn't recommend this monitor because the control buttons mean the corner needs to be cut off. Something like Acer K242L needs no cutting - though it's slightly bigger and the plans would need to be changed to fit it. Hope it helps!

Okay so it should run on an asrock beebox n3000 if you want to run an even smaller setup. Cool. Plus it has a monitor mount so you can just mount it to the monitor.
I'm not familiar with the asrock model you mention, but the software isn't as demanding as one might think so it would probably run fine.
Very cool concept. It was 100$ but how many hours of work do you have into it? Obviously you enjoyed making it but time is money as well
Hi Ben! Yes, it's only this cheap because I made it myself. If I made it for someone else, I would charge for my time too, but I wanted to show how anyone can do it for a really low price if they did it themselves! Cheers!
nice work
used to make similar projject fantastic help
I might do some sample of your work before BIGASS Pinball! And understand how to build small one sorry my English not so great.
Got an old sandy bridge,gtx 680 and 120 Hz monitor sat doing nothing.. I know what they'll be doing soon...

The plans aren't to scale but are just to show approximate sizes and panels for the monitor I used (I had it already but would recommend something like Acer K242HL) - you should adapt for the monitor you have.
Hope it clarifies.
@@arnoldj.rimmer5116 Thank you Arnold. The bottom panel when installed and looking at it from left to right should be equal to or greater than the height of the monitor when laying it in the box. The Acer you described has a height of 335.9 mm which equates to 13.22". Your plans say from left to right the height should be 25 cm or 9.84". Obviously not big enough for even the Acer. All I was wondering was whether this was a mistake in your specs and plans because it's near impossible to find a monitor that would fit between a left and right panel into the box if the box is only 10" wide. You don't actually provide the width of the "bottom panel" in your drawing, but it looks like it would be the equivalent of the rear height for the left and right panel which was 25 cm. Perhaps that's were the mix up is.
@@echodun Hi mate you are correct. The monitor I used was a Benq G2220 (I had spare), modified to cut the control panel off to make it properly rectangular.
I recommend the Acer because it requires no modification (the cable connector layout is also easier) but it does require appropriate modification of the dimensions as you point out. The plan was only intended as a guide to base your own cabinet on.
Anyway I hope it helps in a small way if you're planning your own. Cheers!
@@arnoldj.rimmer5116 Thank you for the response. I ended up going with this monitor - www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CVL2D2S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
How did you get the textured look on the wood paneling? Is that a wrap of some sort?
@@echodun Hi! Nice monitor, looks ideal. The wrap is here www.aliexpress.com/item/32260499629.html it's pretty generic so you should be able to source similar locally. Cheers!
Nicely done!
Cheers Justin!
Is this achievable with a Raspberry Pi? or is it worth just using a pc?
Hi mate a few have asked the same thing but I'm not sure if the software is compatible with the Pi. Might be worth checking out some Pi forums...
Should install Future Pinball or VPX. Much better for cabs
What did you use to map the buttons for Pinball FX?
Hi Derek I used JoytoKey to map buttons on all 4 pinball (FX,Arcade, VPX and Future). I mention it here though not for FX in this clip ruclips.net/video/wVe-TSupO94/видео.html
For the money you've done a fantastic job there. The only improvement I'd suggest (for very little money) is to use a KL25Z board for more realistic nudging. I find the fixed digital nudges in pinball to be totally false. But then again real pin heads will scoff at anything virtual....so it's all relative. Brilliant little project there!
Cheers mate appreciate the feedback and info - will definitely check that board out if I get chance to build another...
Do you happen to have instructions on how to build the shell?
Hi Daniel, it's nothing special, basically just a box, but there's a google drive link in the description to the plans I used - start with these and adapt them to your dimensions. Cheers!
Very nice and very creative.
Fantastic! Well done.
Cheers!
hi man you are awsome, thank you for sharing your idea and plans whith as.
Cheers!
Dave lister here you Smeaghead love your vodeo
If it isn't Dave Cinzano Bianco Lister - once on the pinball table, you can't get rid of him! Cheers mate glad you liked it!
Simple build that has been cleaned up for aesthetics and playability. But little does everyone know that it's really a _computer._
You have been *_bamboozled_*
Interesting interface ngl
Can you list the parts? Graphics card and usb encoder kit
Hi Ricardo, Parts and prices here ruclips.net/video/lsyn_yKI5zE/видео.html Cheers!
Awesome work mate! I have been looking into high refresh monitors etc for my build but you got me thinking ill give it a go with what I got laying around first. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers Shane glad you liked it! Exactly what I thought - I had most of the bits lying around already!
