Thanks! Great video Ed for the new comers. For all of three deciding …. Well this thing is a beast! I have both this and the arcade 1 up pinball . And this is night and day way way better than the arcade 1 up pinball. And hands down to get the most out of this machine, OTG mode running via my pc, pinball emporium front end and the VPX tables I believe is the most fun experience by far! Thanks Ed. Great Channel!

[@MrLivewire1970]

I bought an ALP on Christmas Eve and today I just installed the vibs board and the arcade controller. I'm using a laptop that is similar in specs to yours, I7 with a gtx 1660ti. I have fx3 configured with the back glass and dmd, still debating if I want to add a 3rd screen for a dedicated Dmd. I like to tinker with my electronics so that's really half the fun for me. Thanks for all the info, I enjoy all your videos, especially the play demos.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Sounds like you're set!! I have yet to try to make the jump to a third screen. Seems a little daunting to me. But the ones I've seen are awesome.

[@carlo1132]

I have all 153 tables and Dr Suess coming. I have the PC ready to go, retired IT pro, honestly I really like the tables so far, haven't been in a rush to add more via PC. I also really enjoy vertical gaming, centipede is a blast, you have to get the control stick/trackball for the ALP, best upgrade. Buystuff has great backbox upgrades as well as haptic mod kit. SO much you can do with this, the fact you can get them sometimes at Sams for 399 or less is amazing, great ecosystem, makes A1up pinball obsolete, no comparison, wipes the floor with the pins offered by A1up.

[@solo3po]

Hi, what Sam's club and where? I paid 769.00 at my Sam's club, I am in Minnesota

[@digitalvictory8266]

Right? I mean, it's not even close when it comes to the competition.

[@jgehbinv]

So you can use this system to play arcade games with a joy stick like Centipede, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Dig Dug, Q Bert, etc? Is your system "4k"? What is the Hz (60, 120)? Are you experiencing an lag? Do you have or can you get the FX3 tables? VPX tables? Can you get EM tables from the 60s & 70s? Two in particular I would like to have are the "Jet Spin" (4 player) or "Super Spin" (2 player) and "Royal Flush" (4 player) or "Card Whiz" (2 player) tables, which were made by Gottlieb in the mid 70s.

I started my journey with virtual pinball after watching some of your videos along with videos from Wagner's Tech Talk. Thank you for spending the time to do these videos. My question is the lighting effects for your table. Where can I find more information regarding how to set that up. Your table looks sweet! Thanks again

[@digitalvictory8266]

Hi Levi! Thanks for checking out my videos man, much appreciated! Those lights are just simple LED lights I got off Amazon.

I got the same deal on Christmas Eve and today I installed the vibs board, super easy and about 5 minutes to install. About an hr later I had my PC connected and I was playing Indiana Jones on fx3. Most of the hr I spent lining up the Dmd and back glass through fx3 but it looks great. If you have the PC, I wouldn't wait to long to try it out on the ALP.

[@messiahshow]

I think I gone full circle lol, I been looking at cabinets and after a long search I found the Pinball Legends. Then I realised that is the one you using which I totally missed even if I watched a bumch of your videos lol. I have to ask are you happy with it and is something not so good? And how does it work with all this new pup packs and topper stuff in VPX and Future Pinball that usually require 3 screens? Like do the screen info send properly from your PC to the cabinet and is 2 screens enough? It's definitely a very appealing price I must say and now my own virtual pinball cabinet seem to be in reach again. I was looking at the extremely nice Extreme Gaming ones and they are insane but price to follow is insane as well. So I think I will go for this one for now tbh and then dream about the Extreme Gaming one for a bit longer. One more question, do you feel the screen is good, good colors and viewing angles? I know it's only 60hz, do you feel that is a setback when playing like input lag or a less smooth ball movement or it's enough? Thank you for all great videos so far and appreciate you taking the time to help.

[@digitalvictory8266]

Hi Messiah! Thanks so much for watching the vids, I really appreciate the views. I have had mine almost two years now, and I can tell you I love it! I haven't had any serious issues. There's been a few times in 2 years that it didn't start up all the way when I turned it on, but I just turned it off and back on, and it was fine. I've never used it with three screens, so I can't comment on that. Buystuff.com has a really nice alternate backglass with two screens for a three-screen setup, and it's on my bucket list. Maybe one day I can afford that. It's not perfect - I strongly recommend you check out my video here for some critical thoughts: 10 Things Legends Pinball Got Wrong: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6m3p5WgiKqCi8U Bottom line is, I think it's an incredible value for the price. You can't beat it.

[@messiahshow]

@@digitalvictory8266 That's my impression also, that for the price it is unbeatable. Looks like a really nice machine. So with the lack of 3 screens can you still setup games like Stranger Things, Harry Potter and so on that have a lot going on? And lastly how are viewing angles or the screen in a brighter room. Is it a high quality screen so you don't have to stand perfect for it to look good? I will check that video you linked me now. Thanks

[@Jaymzaaa]

Do i need for the otg-mode additional speakers like yours next to the Jurassic Logo or does the sound runs through the internal speakers?

[@digitalvictory8266]

That's actually a really good question!! I don't know. I have always just had my PC speakers hooked up. I don't THINK you would get sound out of the Legends Pinball on OTG, but I'm not positive. Hopefully someone can chime in with some help. Next time I play it, I'll turn down my speakers and see if there's any sound from the Legends Pinball - I'll let ya know!

i do like the legends pinball BUT, and that's a HUGE BUT, updating every month is a HUGE PIA. having to log in each time manually is painstaking and frustrating because the button to enter each character either sticks or doesn't register. so it takes a bunch of editing to enter the username and password. they haven't made any efforts to make this easy. so i don't play my legends pinball. it sits and collects dust. so beware you shoppers out there. you may want to reconsider your purchase. i do hope they make a way so the machine saves your username and password to make this an easy task.

I DO agree that updating often is a PITA. BUT - you don't HAVE to update. I just updated last night for the first time since those Natural History tables came out. I only update once or twice a year. And when I update, I just scan a barcode on my phone, it's instant.
