How to build a virtual pinball cabinet: Intro

[@leewickert9523]

this channel has grown like crazy from the start of the pi arcade cab! Glad to see the quality content be rewarded. Excited for the new series!

[@wayofthewrench]

Right? Yeah it's nice to see and hear all of the people subscribing and leaving great comments. Glad to hear you've been supporting the channel since then! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!

[@JackelKarlos]

Perfect timing! Just as I'm dipping my toe into the hobby & looking to build my first table

[@wayofthewrench]

Awesome! If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend watching the budget build series before this one.....so much goodness in there. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series!

[@spitfyre1085]

I'm excited that the guy who already made one of, if not the best vpin build series on KZbin is doing a new one.

[@wayofthewrench]

Awwwww shucks, thanks, I appreciate your kind words! Yeah I'm pretty stoked to start this build and make it as awesome as the other. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series. Cheers!

[@LeeGrill]

This is how the hobby evolves!

[@wayofthewrench]

This! I've only been in the hobby for 3 years and it's amazing to see how much vpin has evolved. I'm just happy to get more people excited about this amazing hobby too. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series!

[@hrwilliams]

Sweet! Your first build was instrumental in getting me up and running on my own. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@wayofthewrench]

I'm happy to have helped you with your own build! Yeah I'm pretty stoked to start this build too. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Enjoy the series!

Super excited!!! First build was excellent, can't wait to see this one!!!

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah me too! This build is going to be sweet too! Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series! Cheers!

[@JamesBond-kx3kl]

Dude, you're killing me! Lol I finally get around to starting a build from your old series with the mindset I'd figure out how to beef it up a bit more. And right on cue, you roll this out! Thanks! Can't wait to see the rest, this is awesome!

[@wayofthewrench]

Lol, hilarious. Well your build will still be awesome if you follow the old series or the new series. If anything, the different parts I use in this build might be the ones you chose. Glad I could time the series perfectly for ya. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!

[@jasonwatson9127]

Yes! Yes! Yeeessss! Your VPin build videos are phenomenal Emil. They really are the gold standard for a DIY VPin build. I can't wait to see what improvements and/or changes you make to the new build. Let's GO!

[@wayofthewrench]

Yay! Thank you! I really appreciate your kind words as I work very hard to make the best videos I can for people. Yeah I'm pretty stoked to start this build, it's gonna be awesome! Just found another sponsor for the series too and it's a big one! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Cheers Jason!

[@Yanitzch]

Wow! I was waiting for this to start building my own ''no budget'' virtual pinball. I can't wait to follow you, thanks so much for all the great work. I know how much filming is slowing the flow of work... Thanks for taking the time, I really appreciate it!

[@wayofthewrench]

Awesome, should be an awesome series and if you follow along, you'll have a great vpin when you're done! Yes! The filming and editing consumes my life these days but I do it for you guys so you have awesome content. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Cheers!

[@Yanitzch]

Cool, that's what I'm going to use. Where abouts in the great white north are you? Hrmm well one of the best ways to support to work I do would be to check out my Patreon in the video description. Much appreciated and enjoy the series!

Aweeeesome, can't wait to follow along and see the new build! Bought stuff from both Arnoz and Phil from Cleveland both make great parts.

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah I'm pretty stoked to start this build too. I can't wait to show all of these awesome products! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel. Enjoy the series!

Yeah buddy! G'day mate! Or should I say G'day eh? Lol. Enjoy the series and your new build dude! Cheers!

[@mikehipp71]

Looking forward to it! Your videos have always been amazing and guided me through my 3/4 scale build. As a former teacher myself, I appreciate the effort you put into these and the focus on *educating* us on the details

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah me too! I'm glad that I was able to help you out with your build. Yeah I like to make great content that I can share my experience and passion for technology education with everyone. What do you teach? Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel. Enjoy the series!

[@chrisstriktattoo]

So excited to see the new series!!!

[@wayofthewrench]

Me too! I can't wait to start! Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series!

[@octagonphd]

I've designed and 3D printed a platform to hold the dude's cab, 3 Walters, 2 mos8 and 3 mosLight. Could be modified for whatever your needs are. If you're looking for mounting options for Arnoz boards and are interested let me know. Heat press inserts for the dude cab to use m3 PCB vibration isolators and also vibration isolating feet on the platform. I'm still wiring everything so not sure how well the isolation works yet. I went with mostly arno boards and CSD solenoids, LEDs, shaker motor, knocker. Also 3D printed a teencab/voltboard setup to allow for easier wiring to each channel directly from power/data source. Rebuilding a cabinet I bought with all new guts, play field pivot, etc. Your series has been invaluable. Haven't read all the comments but I expect others have handy mounting approaches as well.

[@wayofthewrench]

Awesome sounds like my exact build! Great minds think alike eh? Yeah I'm in the middle of 3d printing a bunch of Arnoz STL files but I'd love to see what you have cooked up though, send me some pics through instagram! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Cheers!

[@octagonphd]

Will do

[@wayofthewrench]

Cheers

[@kaledev]

Watched the first series while building mine! Invaluable. Good luck on the new one!

[@wayofthewrench]

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the series! I appreciate your kind words! Yeah I'm pretty stoked to start this build too! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Enjoy the series!

[@Layby2k]

Arnoz's boards are great

[@Chinu306]

Yes, but i need explanation in english 🙂

[@wayofthewrench]

I've heard good things from Arnoz's products and I'm excited to figure it all out! Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series! Cheers!

[@renekoluda5503]

Great news, will be watching along this build also, just finishing up my own build with parts from arnoz, cleveland and LG oled

[@wayofthewrench]

Awesome! Sounds like you're using a lot of the same parts, should be an awesome build. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series!

[@daveeagle2721]

Excited! Just noticed this today! Back at it! Right on. I’ll be watching every one.

[@wayofthewrench]

Sweet, thanks! Enjoy the series! Cheers!

[@E-Pro73]

Super excited about this new series! While what you did with the first build was ridiculously cool, it's outside of my skillset. A flatpack build is much more my speed.

[@wayofthewrench]

Glad to hear it, I'm excited too! Yeah that's what I'm hoping this series will help people with. Plus there's lots of info to still get out to people about new parts, etc. thanks for the watch and your support for the channel. Cheers!

[@guymoore5548]

Pretty sure you just described my exact thoughts for a future (first) build - flat pack, Cleveland software, Arnoz board, etc. So I’m super excited to see your upcoming series. One potential ask/request (and I’m thinking it could be a difficult one if you tackle it) - I’m interested in using actual flipper assemblies in a cabinet, but there’s very little out there with specifics on wiring etc. I know most run at 48v, but I’m curious if you can install on 24v the same as a knocker. Again, I have ZERO experience, but (selfishly) I would LOVE to see you try and tackle that 😊.

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah it should be an awesome build! I'm pretty stoked to start this build. I'm planning on using Cleveland Software solenoids kit for the flippers but I might ask Marco Specialties to supply real flipper mechs and a 48v power supply to try them out later. I decided to go solenoids because most people will want a less maintenance and less cost method for real mech sounds. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series!

[@yaronkadmon7557]

already looking forward for the next video! good luck!

[@wayofthewrench]

Right? Well I should have the flatpack any day now and then I'll start! Thanks for the watch!

[@ianbenjamin7144]

Wow! I can't wait for that! I watched your entire last virtual pinball build, and that was awesome. Great teacher.

[@wayofthewrench]

Awesome, thank you for your kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed the series and my teaching style! Yeah I'm excited to start this build series, it's gonna be awesome! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Cheers!

[@davidWilson1510-u1u]

Built a cabinet following your great videos, got a great machine and all friends and visitors love it. I installed a Kinect and run it through BAM makes it a totally different experience. You should run a tutorial in installing one and setting up.

[@wayofthewrench]

Awesome! Vpins are a blast to have friends over for a tournament! Yeah I need to do a tutorial or 2 on this! Thanks for the suggestion! Cheers!

[@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

Cool look forward to the new series

[@CGRTist]

I'm looking forward to this series! And based on the last VPin series, we are in for a treat!

[@wayofthewrench]

Yeah it's gonna be awesome! Thanks for your support for the channel! Enjoy the series!

[@lifewater989]

I’m excited to watch the journey. Your video series is the gold standard on how to build a cab from scratch. I’m soon going to embark on this myself but dedicated to VR. While I like flashy lights and everything that goes with a traditional vpin, VR is a completely different experience and I prefer it.

[@wayofthewrench]

Sweet, thanks! I appreciate your kind words as I work really hard to make the best videos I can for people. I haven't tried VR yet but it's on my list to make minipin for VR....maybe next build. Thanks for the watch, enjoy the series!

[@stevetb7777]

@@wayofthewrench Careful, you might never return after playing in VR ; )

[@stevetb7777]

VR is super cool but... it's a one-person experience. I want a vpin in my man cave because it's a visual spectacle and multiple people can enjoy it. I have hopes for the future - 4K 3D glasses free 3D display + head tracking. Then your vpin is fully 3D like the real deal, you can see it in 3D from any angle like VR. I would tolerate glasses is there were any modern 3D TVs. I actually did play with this head tracking software some guy made for vpins, it actually is really cool but you really need 3D for it to make sense. If it had more setting adjustments it would work pretty well even in 2D. The playing field floor moves too far in proportion to the other objects in 2D, or you close one eye and it looks great. I reached out to the author long ago and never heard back. I really could enjoy this head tracking in 2D using an xbox kinect2 if I could just adjust that setting. Not as cool as 3D BUT.. still VERY cool. The playfield perspective changes to match where you are looking, sort of like a flat VR experience. It actually looks quasi 3D with one eye closed, but that's annoying to do. I don't understand the science.

[@stevetb7777]

Another thing is.. one could totally build a vpin AND mount a VR headset as a pull-down from the ceiling (or use a wireless headset).. so you could actually have BOTH options. VR isn't going to give you the playfield feedback you can get from a VPIN and the transducers, but if you have a hybrid setup that would be the best of both worlds, for now! You could get the virtual physical feedback of a vpin in VR. That might be what I do.

[@wayofthewrench]

I've heard it's good.

[@Urko2005]

Great series of videos you did from start to finish making that cabinet.

[@wayofthewrench]

Thanks a lot! Yeah I worked crazy hard on those videos, it is my contribution to this great hobby! Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series!

[@fasthdharley]

Awesome news!! I discovered your channel on Friday and finished all 50 episodes of the first build by Saturday night. I’m hooked!!! You should do a collaboration with jays 2 cents for the ultimate vpin pc build. It would be great!

[@wayofthewrench]

That's super cool! Good on ya for binging my channel! If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. That's not a bad idea, I should send him a message. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! Cheers!

Right? I haven't decided because I'm doing this differently this time, I still have to get my lockdown bar and put the monitor in and see. I think I will still put it down so there is room for a matrix but we'll see. I personally feel that during game play, I don't "see" the area not displayed....too busy hitting my shots!

[@matty-dc4pq]

Ok ,,,um,,rrrrr. 1/4 way through my first build and have been acquiring parts based on your recommendation from your first series build. Would you recommend I just stop and wait for your new series to see what new technologies I can use ? I only have pc and my cabinet built so far. Cheers. Matt.

[@wayofthewrench]

Hey don't worry, there's absolutely nothing wrong with how I built my budget build, in fact like I stated in the video, I'm keeping my old one to play on. The only thing I'm doing is building another vpin with different parts so that people know how to install these parts. The other thing is this vpin is a big budget so I can have 4k 120 Hz capability. If you already are planning on a 1080p one then you're golden! If you want to use different parts from Arnoz or Cleveland Software then that info is coming. Good luck on your build and thanks for the watch! Enjoy the series!

Would be interested to know what size play field monitor gets closest to real pinball their must be a sweet spot

[@wayofthewrench]

The monitor I chose is pretty perfect. It's a 42" LG OLED that will tightly fit in a standard cabinet. Based on my first ultra wide vpin, I don't feel that it is that important to get the size perfect, it's still super fun to play and feels amazing. Thanks for the watch! Enjoy the series!

[@stevetb7777]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Super excited about your new build! YOU ROCK! Do you know what the ballpark cost of your new build will be? Why did you go with 42" over 48"? I've been thinking about building one with a 48" OLED but am wondering what the cons would be. I think I will start my build and build along with you, well... I'll run 2-4 videos behind you. =D

[@wayofthewrench]

Me too! Thanks bud! Well it'll be more than a 1980 Honda Civic and less than a 2024 Honda Civic....lol. not 100% sure as I'm still applying for credit....lol. it's more...the PC alone will most likely be $3000 and the playfield is $1500. I am going with a 42" so I can use a widebody flatpack which will be a loose fit and have room for aled strips and a matrix. I will put a 48" OLED in my totan cabinet later. That would be cool to build along with me, if you do, send me update pics! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel. Enjoy the series!

[@stevetb7777]

@@wayofthewrench Hah! Well, 3K for the PC alone? That's probably overkill don't you think? Or is that the point??! Half that would probably still get you 4K 120hz with all the bells and whistles. But.. this is an overkill build, eh?! =D Funnily, I put a 48" OLED in my arcade cab in portrait orientation. 43% of the display is hidden behind the marquee and cab body. Was worth it though. Before I did that, I did test play vpins for a couple of days, just absolutely jaw-droppingly gorgeous... especially with the more vivid color modes. Especially totan!

Sweet! Don't forget your root beer! 🍻. If you use a lg OLED 42" it is a tight fit in a standard and a loose fit in a widebody.

Looking forward to the new series! I'm really curious to see what you use for RGB buttons, as I have yet to find some that I like. Also, am I crazy or did you mention putting in a LEDwiz board on the first machine, and then skip it?

[@wayofthewrench]

There's a bunch of options but I have MX led boards from Arnoz that I'm going to try. No no, your not losing your mind. I did purchase an ledwiz board and groovy game gear frosted RGB buttons to put into totan so I do have options and might use those in totan after. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series! Cheers!

[@DyoGTS]

I could never find a good concaved LED button, ideally either with a leaf switch or a MX Silver switch, but I'll try some from Groovy Game Gear - I had never heard of them and on paper it looks good, so thanks for that! I really enjoy your style of video, so I'm really looking forward to this new series. Since you had previously asked for content suggestions, I have a few to consider: *LED-Wiz - overview, configure/use *Network game management - since you'll have two cabinets, using one machine or a NAS to store all the tables, PUP files, etc. (shared high scores should work?) *Creating your own DOF effects - I know you mentioned the possibility of looking into this, but perhaps not a lot of people would be interested in coding aspect *Setting table POV, applying to all other tables *Jukebox setup - there's been a lot of talk about this one recently, but people are having a hard time finding resources and downloads * Tables you recommend - maybe even just give us one table suggestion per video (I only recently got around to Batman '66 and it is awesome with DOF lighting)

[@wayofthewrench]

Nice suggestions! Yeah there is seriously tons of content to show/teach people.... I'm gonna be making these videos forever....lol.

[@jacooosthuizen3593]

This is exactly what i was hoping you would do! Im going to buy all my gear from cleveland software. Im also going LG c2 oled but with pindmd3 as the newer games i will just have it display the video DMD on the backglass. i love the older tables more as they been recreated the best from VPW. Also what i will do differently than what you did is those lights is very distracting on the play field. My cabinet RGB strips will both be underneath my table. if the table has a color it will show and the effect rails will be underneath as to not flash in my eyes and on the playfield and give more a emmersion than blinding eyes haha. id like my speakers effects activated aswell and maybe clevelands light bar as a topper.

Perfect! Yeah a whole new cab with lots of new info/parts/techniques! Sounds like you have a good plan! Yeah I know some people don't like the LEDs in their face but I kinda like it flashy, you could always put in a switch to shut it off like Zi did or find a different way to light up.....I have ideas. Thanks for the watch!

Let's Go! Can't wait to watch this build. Did I here "HD" matrix? I didn't know that was a vpin thing.....

[@wayofthewrench]

Yup a HD matrix is just a denser matrix with more LEDs. These ones are going to be 16 x 16 panels which will also allow me to play with the new HD matrix patterns. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Cheers!

[@Vidal2021]

You're welcome and you're an excellent teacher. I love my vpin and I credit you videos for helping to make it a work of art. I'm looking into my final upgrade now. A 4k 120hz or 144hz monitor. Everything else is already there.

[@wayofthewrench]

Cheers! I appreciate your kind words as I work hard to teach people how to do stuff including how to look after each other. At the end of the day, I'll be happy if I made others happy. You upgrading to a LG OLED?

[@wayofthewrench]

Thank you for your kind words! I do try my best to make great content worth watching so it's always nice to hear from subscribers. I'll have to look into that, there's always something new or a different way to do it.... it's why I love this hobby! Thanks for the watch!

Uh huh....sweet!

[@JeWCyDuDe]

I finished my refurb of my name cab that I built in 05.

[@wayofthewrench]

Oh yeah? cool! What theme did you go with?

[@RochdaleBlue]

Hi Dr J why are the next 3 videos private?

[@wayofthewrench]

To build anticipation....lol. no I have them there while I finish editing and then release them when they are scheduled to be viewable every two weeks. I like to build a buffer for myself as these videos take a lot of work to make them awesome. Thanks again for your support!

[@RochdaleBlue]

@@wayofthewrench ahh I see, can’t wait.

[@soma_rc]

Woot!

[@wayofthewrench]

Woot woot!!

[@SidebandSamurai]

Well there goes another 2 years of your life ... Down the drain. Bring it on!

[@wayofthewrench]

Down the drain? Nah, good times were had. If anything I GET to do it again. Thanks for the watch and enjoy the series!

[@p_gin]

very bad idea to use oled, i have burn-in on my third oled screen already, this technology is completely useless with static picture

[@wayofthewrench]

Hrmmmm, that's not what I've heard from people running these for over a year. I will be addressing this issue and talking about good methods to have the anti burn in cleaning process happen as automatically as possible. Thanks for the heads up though, it's a real issue. Cheers!

[@p_gin]

​@@wayofthewrench if i'll have a chance to build my full size pincab i will use nanocell full array backlight. I think that the microLED is the future of the screens , but this technology is still to expensive.

[@wayofthewrench]

That's the thing about technology....it always gets better so it's more how much you can afford. i can't wait to see when the tech catches up and it is exactly like real pinball.
