Shaun's Virtual Pinball Cabinet Build

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.

    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 KZread 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

Plus it looks great. The interface software I use is PinballX. It's totally free and really easy to use. Hope this helps!

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.
