Hi Guys Sadly I haven't had a chance to work on my cabinet for many months. I've had an opportunity to play with my test bed again and setup the DMD I received in Feb On powering it up I noticed a vertical line through the centre of the DMD and a single pixel in that line absent. I'm a little disappointed that this new DMD (still in plastic) is faulty. I should have put it through its passes when I first got it. Virtua pin have been gracious enough for a discount on my next DMD purchase, but, can't do anything about this one as its been more than 30days since me receiving it. Has anyone had this issue before? If so what did you do about it? Is there any chance of…

VPcabs hired me to design their new company logo. After we settled on a design they wanted to re-introduce their new company logo so they decided to skin cabs in both P2K and Standard body cabinets with it. The use of color and logo design is used to premiere the VPcab design to the masses and extend the marketing identity of the brand. I made some 3D rails and decided to go with a carbon fiber background for all the decals. This design approach makes for a great presentation of the company to people unfamiliar with virtual pinball. Please check out my galleries for these and other designs for Pinball, Bartop, Arcade standup & Pedestal style cabinets. I also offer …

Here is a Pub table I cut a hole in while the wife was away. Slapped in a 42" 1080 Monitor. Bought a piece of glass. Installed some flipper/tilt, coin insert, start and launch ball buttons. Later on in the pics i made two joystick box out of some old wooden cigar boxes. I would like to go wireless and use the good joystick I have if anyone knows a good hack. My original plan was to build a regular wide body cabinet... But I wanted a dual purpose Pinball and Mame games. And some thing that was more central to the family area of the house. I think this turned out pretty good. It's not the best viewing angle to play pinball but I'm 6-4 so it's not bad... I still hav…

So I am trying to wrap my hands around setting up Zebs VOK board with his shaker/gear combo and single 12V start button (just as a proof of concept before I add everything else). As far as the physical connections I have the ribbon cable from the LEDwiz 17-32 going to the bottom flasher board, and the other ribbon going from the LEDwiz 1-16 to the inductor board. 500W Corsair power supply - 20 pin power going to flasher board, 4 pin molex going to the inductor board, and another 4 pin molex going to shaker/gear. I check continuity before mounting the LEDwiz and VOK from pins 1-32. Powered everything up and looks good...3 LEDs lit on VOK. Software wise I put these files…

I'd been flirting with the idea of building a cab for the last 2 or so years and decided to finally do it last December (2012). I live in Austin, TX and there's a great spot here called Pinballz that is a huge BYOB arcade with hundreds of cabinets to play. I reached out to them hoping that I could get an old, spare machine for cheap that I could build on top of and refinish for my purposes. I ended up getting lucky timing-wise because they were in the middle of a huge warehouse cleanup right around the time that I reached out to them. I managed to get an old, gutted Black Hole wide body cabinet with lock bar, coin box, side rails, play field glass, and legs for $130…

Hi, I've been lurking in the scene on and off since VP was in its first dogfood test releases and before there was a VPinMAME. I'm a proud owner of one of shakenbake's P2k-style cabinets which arrived a few days ago. While it was being built I put together a test machine with some old hardware I had kept around. I wanted to get familiar with configuring tables, backglasses, and so on for cabinets. Most of the peripherals come from the 90s. Before I break it down, I thought I would share it for everyone's general amusement. PC - a workstation class laptop, Dell Precision M65, my main work machine previous to my previous work machine, circa 2006. Intel Core Duo, 1.83 GH…

Hi everybody. I've decided to start an official thread for my build. Well it's more a link to my blog, not that I don't like you here.. but since I'm posting on like 3 differents forums at this moment, I don't want to duplicate everything everywhere! So here's the link: http://arduipin.blogspot.ca/ New photo gallery here (hope the link works): https://plus.google.com/photos/112177773270092950187/albums/5877658474194671953 And here's the link to my current Arduino code and C# interface (still only a prototype, be warned): https://github.com/gui999/ArduiPin (Well it's a working prototype lol) Short story short, I'm using an Arduino mega instead of a Led…

After all the help and information I've received from this forum I thought I should share my almost complete pinball cabinet and get some opinions from people. This build is a medium size cab with a de-cased 32" playfield and 19" backglass. Its currently setup with Hyperpin and Future Pinball. I still have the Siemens contactors to complete the build but aside from that its pretty much done. I'm already looking forward to building the next one, a full size cabinet.

Decided yesterday to throw 5 cabs in the trailer and make the 10 hour all night drive to Allentown for the pinball show. This show is very well ran and the promoter was very kind in renting us a last minute vendor booth. So many great people here excited about Virtual Pinball. Here's some pics.

What does everyone think of this... What if pinball arcade, or a similar company make their game 3D using the same tech involved with passive 3D movies right now. Sure, we'd have to wear glasses, but when playing a pin, you're looking from the same direction when you play, how awesome would that be?

First off I want to thank everyone here for the tremendous outpouring of support. VPcabs.com has taken off way faster than I had imagined. Orders for cabs have been coming in much faster than I anticipated. I decided to make this official and take things to the next level. Yesterday I leased a 3000sf assembly room with a nice unfinished woodshop area in the back. I am determined to offer the best products at the best possible prices while providing crazy good service. I have a few brand new products that I will be launching soon now that I have hired some extra help and have the room to get things done. My goal over the next 6 weeks is to have at least 5 VP2000 system…

Hope this help clear up pinball cabinet terminology for newbies. (like myself) Below is a diagram illustrating the pinball terminology used for the outside of a modern pinball machine... Backbox The vertical or upright part of the pinball that is located towards the rear of the machine. The Backbox houses the Backglass, Displays, Speakers and electronic circuit boards in modern pinballs. In Electro-Mechanical pinballs, the Backbox houses the Backglass, Score Reels and some relays and stepper units. Backglass The artwork located at the front of the Backbox. Up until the mid 1980's, the Backglass artwork was silk-screened onto the back of the glass. This artwork i…

For those using HP's attract mode, how long are you letting it sit on each table before it spins again. Pick the closest option. This is to establish a decent preview video length.

Hi all. I am working on my pinball cabinet build (39/21/15) in a standard cab I am building from scratch. I have the main cabinet built and I was working on coin door modifications - a coin mech that will accept any coin. I figured I would post the end result. I started looking for a coin mech that would accept any coin. I found a toilet paper funnel coin mech :-) but I wanted the arcade coin sound, so I kept looking at coin mech mods and then I ran across this... "Any Coin Mech" on arcadecontrols. Too bad it sold out back in Jan 2012. Well I went to the hardware store to cobble something similar together and here is the result. For $2.28 plus tax, I have my ve…
