GAMING: My budget virtual pinball cabinet!

This is my truly budget virtual pinball. It was built using extra components I had laying around or was able to obtain from friends. I did order a few items such as lighted buttons, leaf switch flipper buttons and a joystick interface with Zero delay.
Its not pretty! but it plays virtual pinball!
Enjoy the video! :)

I just found my next project!!! This is awesome, thanks for the vid man.

[@sk8ersublime]

Awesome! It is a cool project. I wish I built mine to be a little more enterprise looking, but it got the job done :)

[@sk8ersublime]

Thanks for watching!

[@levelbylevelgaming2833]

@@sk8ersublime Mine is going to have to be budget too, old pc and scraps laying around. I like your machine man and double thanks for the sub!

[@loelco8162]

Very Nice as long as it plays and you enjoy it thats what matters hopin to build mine soon plus got some pointers from you Thanks✌🏼

[@Laurie_H]

You should raise the main screen above the flipper buttons that show up on the inner side of your cabinet.

[@sk8ersublime]

I thought about that, but I didn’t like the screen flat against the “glass” kind gave me a sense of depth looking down into the cabinet to see the screen

[@amrakarmaMisophoniac]

Dude, very cool.

[@sk8ersublime]

amraKarma thanks!

[@Cole_Douglas]

So basically would it be easier for me to get a monitor and tv to start. Have everything set up (programs and all ) and then build the cabinet. Luckily I’m a wood worker.

[@sk8ersublime]

G.U.M yea that’s basically what I did. I had a TV and an extra monitor laying around so I played around with getting everything to work before building the cabinet. The problem was once I got it in a playable state I stopped working on the cabinet which is why it was so janky haha

[@Cole_Douglas]

sk8ersublime awesome thanks. Oh and What kind of computer and programs did ya have to use. Sorry for all the questions

[@sk8ersublime]

G.U.M the machine I had in this was old. I think it was an phantom X3 AMD chip or something like that. It originally had an 8800GT video card but I bumped that up to a GTX650Ti I ended up having as an extra. Check out visual pinball and future pinball vpforums.org is a great resource to start with.

[@SuperGreenbacon]

Where did you get the polished aluminum bar in the front..... looks like from a real machine?

[@sk8ersublime]

SuperGreenBacon it was from a machine, a friend of mine had an extra one laying around

[@SuperGreenbacon]

@@sk8ersublime what is that plate called??, Im looking to buy one

[@SuperGreenbacon]

nevermind....its called a LOCKDOWN bar...I found online for 100$ for new ones

[@sk8ersublime]

Yea it’s a lockdown bar, sorry for the late reply!

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

looks great!! Great idea with the rail bars. I need to do that. I built myself a bartop one i'm still putting finishing touches on. Just had to buy a new computer for it cause im tired of laggy play and want to play more tables.

[@VirtualRobotsRevolt]

this is what i use to quickly change anything or turn off the computer inside. Works pretty good. a.co/aTVZ7kl

[@sk8ersublime]

Thanks! I originally wanted to buy Stern rails with the button protectors, but this being a budget table.....haha angle iron it was!

[@sk8ersublime]

Nice. I have this installed on the PC since its a re purposed HTPC. I dont use it anymore though. www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-VERIS-Multimedia-Station-Basic/dp/B001B8ZS02

[@whompmaster]

This reminds me of going to the SPCA and picking out a ugly dog because you love it so much. I guess it does the job.

[@sk8ersublime]

Haha that’s one way to put it

[@lysol7204]

Almost peed my self! LOL "picking out a ugly dog because you love it so much" Hahahaha

[@michaelkaybecker]

I think it looks good.

[@RB-rk6qo]

Thanks for the video and nice work!

[@sk8ersublime]

Thanks for watching!

[@azlambodreamin3345]

Nice job. I'm building one myself

[@CharlieEdward25]

lol who would want

[@sk8ersublime]

Cool! Good luck with it! Hopefully yours turns out better than mine lol

[@WilsonBradleyTheOfficial]

From the title, I thought this video would have parts, costs , instructions..

[@sk8ersublime]

Sorry! More of just a very home built looking cheap vpin. The machine I had was pretty old, so digging up the cost now might be a bit difficult. Wood/buttons/controller interface/legs, etc was probably around $200

[@TheJoseolmos]

Quiero una!! Cuanto me costaría puesta en Guadalajara México?

[@supermanzx9r]

Hey I live in Maryland and got a real pinball machine that I am going to guy just need help with the software part .... would like to see if you could setup the software part I will supply the computer

[@sk8ersublime]

check out vpforums.org they have majority of the information needed to setup the software. If you need help feel free to shoot me a message. Where in MD are you?

[@supermanzx9r]

sk8ersublime I am in fort Washington md but work in Rockville

[@khmerdogg71]

What are you using for the lock bar?

[@sk8ersublime]

This was an old lockbar from a Bally game I believe, I got from a friend. I just drilled some holes on the side to screw it on to the cabinet.

[@tman6457]

Could you share the cabinet dimentions?

[@sk8ersublime]

I measured a Indiana Jones Stern machine at my local arcade for the measurements. The back box was modified to fit the tiny monitor I used. It should be around 16.5” in the front, 23.5 at the back and 51.5 long.

[@chu28621]

How big is the tv？

[@sk8ersublime]

32" for the playfield and 19" for the backbox

[@rtyan5000]

Is that actually a 32 inch tv or monitor

[@user-yv2cz8oj1k]

Screens way too low in the case, it will run the depth effect.

[@2104doug]

What do you think about my screen height in my 3/4 pin cab I set it at 2 3/4" low toward the back and 3/4" at front of the screen.

[@jaz8088]

BackGlass is too laggy, I would Format and Start again, No Anit-virus or Anti-Malware running, and you'll see a different, my spec's are less and much Faster

[@sk8ersublime]

never noticed an issue with the backglass other than slow loading during the menu select from time to time. I recently sold this pin so that will be something the new owner will need to work on if they have an issue with it.

[@CharlieEdward25]

this makes me sick 🤔
