Yo, I just got to say your video was extremely helpful. I watched another video trying to explain this and he failed to actually tell you where he went to set up the controller whereas you did not. I now have my pinball FX3 running on my at Legends pinball table and it is amazing. Thank you for the tutorial on the controller set up. That was the biggest issue
Thank you so much for taking the time to be concise with what to do. Mine is arriving this weekend and I want to be able to run FX3 on it. I would have probably never figured out the mapping. You guys rock!
HOT TIP Plunger does work if you map it to Right Stick Y . There is a deadzone in the start and end of the pull but it is good enough to do skill shots. Excellent video guys and cant wait for the rachael board !
The little tidbit at the end about how you can turn off the ball trails sold me on doing this. I'd seen FX3 videos before but I hated the look of the ball trails. Didn't know it was an option. Thanks!
Thanks for showing the different screen views for the playfield. I need a static field with the ball being the only thing I need to track, so it's good to know how to access that mode. Looking forward to your coverage of other pinball apps.
So did i miss something here. The monitor on top is connected to the PC right in a second HDMI port with the ALP being in the other HDMI port on the computer ? THanks.

Your trying to pair the arcade control panel right? Try plugging it into another usb port on your PC. We had that problem I think and plugged into a front usb port and it worked fine. Maybe even try a usb hub, because it could be pulling to much data bandwidth.
Hmmm, not sure, we didn't seem to have any issues with volume. We assume you have turned up both the arcade volume and your PC volume, so other then that we're not sure. Maybe go on to the AtGames forums and see if anyone else has experienced the same issue.
@@411onTech I figured it out. Needed a better GPU and now everything's all working fine. Just wish the haptics from the control panel wasn't shaking so much at high volume.
@@Soapskid Oh great, glad you got it figured out! Yeah it doesn’t seem you can control the haptics strength in BYOG. Maybe ATGames will have a fix for this in a future firmware update.
On some Pinball fx tables they have mini games that take place on the dmd. Is it possible to have that displayed on the main play field and not the back glass so i don't have to mod my atgames legends pinball table with the ribbon cable and be able to see it all on the main play field if i want to? Thanks!
You can move it to the back glass, but not sure about moving it to the playfield. To move it around though, you just go into the cabinet mode settings of pinball fx3 and change the position there.
We updated the video description with the parts we used for the PC build. You might need to search for the parts on multiple sites, because computer parts are hard to come by right now. Thanks for the recommendation and hope this helps.
It's not detected in Steam? We had that issue at first as well. Try another USB port or if you have to many USB peripherals plugged into your PC it can overload the bandwidth of the USB hub. You might need a powered USB hub. Let us know if that works.
Yes, you can get nudge to work. Go into the options of pinball fx3 in game. By hitting ESC on the keyboard. Then make sure flippers are mapped to LB and RB and nudge table is set to LT and RT. That should do it.
Hey when I map the controller the buttons that are supposed to be for the nudge are operating the flippers so all the red and white side buttons do is operate the flippers do you know why this might be? I know I punched them in correctly
Great video, helped a lot!! I do have a question.. how do I map a button to exit out of a game in progress, seems like I have to wait till the game is over to back out it? How are you exit your games while they’re in progress? Thank you Chris
Sorry for the late response. Our pinball setup is different now. We are pinball emporium to launch along with joy2key for button mappings. We used joy2key to map the rewind button as escape/exit button.
Hey 411Tech I'm having problems with the mapping on the cabinet, The cabinet isn't being recognized as a Xbox controller. Is there any setting that we are missing to allow for the cabinet to be recognized! Any tips would be wonderful thank you!
Is it not being recognized at all? We initially had an issue where it wasn’t being recognized plugged into a USB port in the back of the PC. Then for whatever reason, plugging into a USB port on the front I/O worked just fine.
@@411onTech HP Pavilion Gaming R5 1650 Super, 8GB/256GB Gaming Desktop Tower is the PC I bought for this ... and have tried USB front and back just haven't had any luck even factory reset the pinball... I love this shit and can play all day on the PC but I really wanna play the steam games on the PINBALL MACHINE... LOL
@@lpnurse1 Just to be clear, it won’t detect at all or just as an Xbox Controller in Steam? When you plug the usb cable in do you see a pop-up that says “getting device ready” and/or does it show up under devices in the Win10 settings? It could also be the cable too. You have to make sure it’s a data cable that can transfer data. We have the cable we used in the description of the video.
@@411onTech We found a USB that needed disconnected from the motherboard and we used that cord to use for the rightside usb input and it started to work!
Thanks for the great video you two. I've been in the virtual pinball community for years, and have always used x360ce to emulate XBOX Gamepads for FX2/3.... but never even considered this method. I'm currently testing and ALP for review myself... so this video was very helpful, and shows everyone can learn something new.
@@411onTech One addition.... in FX3 controls settings... you can change the plunger to the right stick. Then you can change the Steam setup so that the right stick y will use the plunger as well. This gives you an analogue plunger on FX3 tables as well. Works very nicely.
The keyboard is the Logitech K400 plus, great all in one. Not sure what you mean about the screen moving. Maybe you noticed it when we were hitting the nudge button. It will shake then, but you don’t have to use the nudge.
@@411onTech thanks! Just ordered the keyboard. By screen moving I mean around the 15:35 mark the screen is not stationary - the table is moving up and down on the screen.
@@raymondnist8770 ah ok. That doesn’t happen with all tables, but for the ones that do, you might be able to turn that off in the settings of pinball fx3.
Soo - could I connect a Fire Tablet to my PC and have it display the DMD (using spacedesk)?! You didn't use the VIB to show the DMD on your second monitor so is that feasible for me?
We have never used spacedesk to make android tablet a secondary monitor. However as long as your WiFi network is solid it could theoretically work as long as your computer detects it as a secondary monitor. We used cabinet mode for the PinballFX3 to display the DMD on the second monitor. The VIBS is just a video switcher for the backglass so the computer can see it as a display. Our DMD is plugged into a PC output.
@@411onTech Is you DMD plugged into an HDMI output/input? Thank you for replying. Meaning - what connection are you using for that secondary monitor to your PC and would I need to change the file name in that Steam folder for every pinball table to use the DMD on the other 'monitor' (or tablet in my case)?
Thanks for the video! Were you actually able to get the nudge buttons to function as nudge on FX3? I mapped mine just like yours but they only activate the flippers.
Go into the options of pinball fx3 in game. By hitting ESC on the keyboard. Then make sure flippers are mapped to LB and RB and nudge table is set to LT and RT. That should do it.
So jelly you got the Rachael Board coming, I love the nod to Blade Runner on it. By the time I got to lunch they reserved out. Love the videos keep them coming!
Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked the video. Yeah the nod to blade runner is a nice touch :) Hopefully AtGames comes out with another batch soon! It was gone in like 2 mins, we think we got ours just in time, because when we checked again right after it was sold out!
Thanks so much to both of you for this video. Really helped out mapping my ALP cabinet. One question: I am getting a considerable flipper lag, nothing really crazy but enough where I can't get the flipper to go exactly when I want to. You said you didn't have any lag. Didn't know if anyone else has? Thanks again!

Thank you!
Could I sucessfully do this as a kind of test run before I install the VIBS board?
Yes, we did it before we installed the VIBs board, and it worked fine. Just used a spare monitor to use as the backglass.
Does this work with the control panel from Atgames? It doesn't have a d-pad, it has the joystick.
Yes it works for us. Just make sure you have the buttons and joystick mapped in the control settings of Steam.
My Steam does not recognize an Xbox controller. I have followed all the other steps. It says “no controllers detected.”
Your trying to pair the arcade control panel right? Try plugging it into another usb port on your PC. We had that problem I think and plugged into a front usb port and it worked fine. Maybe even try a usb hub, because it could be pulling to much data bandwidth.
