I started my diy pinball journey over 1 1/2 years ago. It' been a learning experience, but fun. Little upgrades along the way. One thing about building your own is will never worry about not being able to get a hold of technical support to fix an issue. But of course DIY is not for everyone, and there are great benefits to pre built tables as well.

Good for you. Like you mentioned, building one yourself takes a long time. The RecRoomWorld ULTRA VP is ideal for those who just want to buy a ready made plug-and-play unit, but more importantly want a company that has an AWESOME support reputation as you can confirm on the RecRoomWorld Google Business profile at www.recroomworld.com/index.html#TestimonialsBookmark

Awesome video! I can clearly see the quality behind this product. I've placed an order for an Utra VP 4K 120 HZ virtual pinball machine, and am so excited about it! Your company is at the top of your game.

Best unit on the market IMO. I am getting one this year for sure.

It sounds like you have a good product, but I'm glad there are option for those people who don't a have the room, top $$ or other considerations.

Like everything in life, you can always opt for cheaper quality items that do not produce the same user experience. We have a LOT of customers who start out with the cheap entry level AtGames Virtual Pinball units and discover that they really enjoy playing pinball. Many of them end up craving the true -to-life AccuFeel experience offered on our Ultra VP. More at www.virtualpinball.com

I would mention that MDF is not a cheap material. It may not be appropriate for a pinball, but mdf is used for 10k dollar audiophile speakers all around the world. Ply wood is considered a big no no when building speakers. So each has their purpose.

When we say cheap we are referring to is the dollar price of the material. MDF is a cheaper material, it simply costs less. As you confirmed, MDF has properties that are not as well suited for a virtual pinball machine build. We started out using MDF but switched to plywood when we introduced Ultra VP Model 6.0 in 2022, and we can confirm with certainty that the solenoids and other haptic devices reverberate much better through plywood than MDF (which has sound dampening properties).

I wish I had seen a video like this 3 years ago when I bought my cab. It was expensive, but so many of the things this video cautions about describe my cab. I bought it from one of the sellers featured around the 22 minute mark, and the support and attitude I got was just as bad as the person whose post was quoted. Besides lousy build quality, the PC was apparently an old garbage unit that failed completely after a little more than a year. The power supply feeding the solenoids went bad too. I ended up having to hire a local builder to completely rebuild the insides of the machine. It works now, but now the solenoids are failing as is one of the buttons. What I'm saying is, when these guys are saying that a lot of sellers out there are peddling garbage, believe them.

One more thing. I'm not sure if a digital pinball has to feel exactly like a real one. They are different beasts. And everyone also has a $$$ limit. You don't need everyone option under the moon to enjoy playing.

Of course a Virtual Pinball Machine should reproduce the touch and feel of a mechanical pinball machine. Why wouldn't you want that?! First of all, the majority of popular VPX pinball emulator tables use the exact same firmware code as the original pinball machines. Secondly, you are running and emulator (VPX) which is made to simulate the mechanical pinball machine like it was designed on the mechanical equivalent. Just because you have $$$ restrictions doesn't mean that the virtual pinball hobby as a whole shouldn't strive towards the perfect reproduction of mechanical pinball touch and feel. And yes, it requires a high-end hardware platform like the Ultra VP to achieve this that is about the same price as one mechanical pinball unit. More at www.virtualpinball.com
