Arcade1Up Virtual Pinball Mod Phase 1

This is my first real mod, following CoolToy's excellent instructional videos:
• Arcade1Up Pinball Mod ...
• Arcade1Up Pinball Mod ...
After getting Pinball FX3 working (which was surprisingly not difficult at all if you follow the instructions in the videos above), I added Pinup Popper, using Baller Installer (which is AMAZING).
I added some touches of my own:
New Playfield monitor (the stock A1Up monitor is trash)
New speakers
NES controller for menus and other controls
This is Phase 1 (which I'm very happy with). Phase 2 will reintroduce nudging and the physical plunger!

If I am not mistaken that music is the first stage music of Ninja Warriors?

[@TreZ]

No idea - you may be right!

[@williamb.1376]

Absolutely !

Great setup. Do stock solenoids work with FX3? Going to put a 27inch monitor in mine and the marseille mcable classic to upscale to 1080p

[@TreZ]

Solenoids are not working in this phase. BUT! I found that there are solenoids that you can hook directly to the buttons, so there's no software involved in making them work. I intend to add them in Phase 2. Stay tuned!

[@Angelo-lq3vd]

Did you end up installing a 27in monitor? If so, which one did you use and how did it go? Thanks!

[@thesmoness]

Can you provide a link where I can get the back glass images with no built in DMD spot? When I added my third screen for DMD then the back glass images have that blank spot

[@TreZ]

All my backglass came via the Pinup Popper interface

Awesome! Getting ready to mod my AFM. What monitor did you use for the playfield? Is it still a 24inch monitor?

Recently acquired a Arcade1Up pinball AFM and wanted to do what you did. When you upgraded your playfield monitor did you have to remove all the casing from the new TV to get it to fit? What PC are you using?

[@TreZ]

Yes, I had to remove the casing. It's not easy, but you only have to do it once!

[@nakimmikan]

I have the same set up, but I can't find the correct settings for the three screens in fx3 please help thanks

[@TreZ]

Do you have cabinet mode enabled? www.pinballfx.com/?page_id=7754#:~:text=How%20do%20I%20activate%20cabinet,deactivate%20it%20the%20same%20way.

[@nakimmikan]

@@TreZ yes. And I figured it out thanks so much for responding I really appreciate it.

[@TEAMP1ZZA]

Are you using the A1U stock solenoids or did you need to do something for that? I want to keep the bump n feel :)

[@TreZ]

Solenoids are not working in this phase. BUT! I found that there are solenoids that you can hook directly to the buttons, so there's no software involved in making them work. I intend to add them in Phase 2. Stay tuned!

[@SteveBaileyHQ]

What PC/Graphics card you got in there? You using SSD or mechanical HD?

[@TreZ]

It's an i7 @ 2.6 GHz, with SSD and Nvidia GTX950

[@SteveBaileyHQ]

@@TreZ GTX950 runs virtual pinball well? How much RAM

[@TreZ]

@@SteveBaileyHQ 8 Gigs RAM. It runs FX3 great, Visual Pinball isn't so great. I'd recommend a better video card for VPX. I hope to upgrade at some point for this reason. For my purposes, the Williams tables were most important, so FX3 is fine

[@jeffreyprovo]

Can u provide a link to the 4 inch speakers u got. I'm thinking of replacing mine.

[@TreZ]

Here you go: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NS9FVKB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@TreZ]

You'll need an amp, too, or the volume will be really low. This is the one I used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B076P2VS9H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@jeffreyprovo]

@@TreZ thx, after watching a few vids on the speakers I decided to pull the trigger .and give them a shot.

[@therackrunner9112]

What monitor to you get for the playfield?

[@TreZ]

I don't remember - sorry!
