My Next Toy!!!
OK, so it just looks like a pinball at first glance yeah? Well, it is, and it isn't... The 'playfield' is a 46 inch LCD screen that emulates the table. Likewise the DMD (Dot Matrix Display) and the back glass are two separate screens as well... Its all run off a PC thats hidden inside... But whats cool, is you can select tables... See the vid below to see in in action... With the back panel changing and the 'tables' swopping out... It will also have force feedback built into it, so it moves and 'feels' right... Ordered the main screen today from Amazon... & I'm Gonna start my build in the next month or two... What d'ya think??? |
If I am playing pinball, I want a real fucking pinball. Fuck that computer stuff. Never feels right.
|
WOOT WOOT! You gotta admit it looks fucking real dont it? |
That is kinda cool, but I'd prefer real pinball.

It feels 'right'... But like I said, without going 'hands on' I can understand you thinking that... But I put my money where my mouth is today and bought the main component.. The Sharp aquos lc-46d65e :) :) :) |

They have a lot of new ways to play old video games, I prefer the real thing but to each their own.
Either way it is really cool, let me know how the build goes I may try one myself sometime. |
How much for one with all the bells and whistles?

The software that runs the tables and the 3 screens has the ability to control all sorts of extras... It up to you what 'extras' you want... Its a real project. Like I say, I have committed to 'attempting' to build it, by ordering the 1st part, the large screen... But as for how long until its finished, or how much its gonna cost overall... Dunno... But... Everyone needs a hobby eh? :thumbsup |
You can't afford that!

Not only will it give me something to do... It will help keep me busy, and off the drink... The devil finds work for idle hands etc... :thumbsup |

Visually the only thing that seems to look really wrong with the virtual one is the wire frames the ball is supposed to run in.
|
That is fucking awesome! Ill look into it myself. I might want to build one.

But those of you who say 'get a real pin' - I think you miss the point. Would you buy an XBox and just have ONE game? And then when you want to play a different game, you have to sell the xbox and game that you have (You cant keep it) and go out and buy another XBox and the new game you want? Of course not, and thats my point. Instead of having one REAL table, I would be much happier with 50+ Different tables... All built into one lightweight box :) |
You can buy them ready made, or as kits HERE if you are in the states :)
|
|
Pretty cool !!
I'd love either to be honest. A real machine, or that would do fine. Always wanted one! |

Its one of those things that you dont *think* is gonna work right, or *feel* right, but believe you me, after a few mins of play, and being able to actually nudge the table like a real machine and stuff, I forgot it wasnt real... Its THAT GOOD... :thumbsup |
my favorite pinball of all pinballs i have ever tried:

You're condemning yourself to childhood ...

than go with a boy or two Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy and no good I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do I could flirt with all the guys, smile at them and bat my eyes. Press against them when we dance, make them think they stand a chance and then refuse to see it through, that's the thing I'd never do. I can stay home every night Wait around for Mr. Right, take cold showers everyday, and throw my life away, on a dream that won't come true I could hurt someone like me, out of spite or jealousy, I don't steal and I don't lie, but I can feel and I cry In fact I'll bet you never knew, but to cry in front of you, that's the worse thing I could do. |
I'd be worried about the viewing angle on the LCD. Would be terrible if the screen was all washed out when you were trying to play it.
|
Nice to be able to switch it up, I see the point. Should be nice and vibrant since it is all LCD.

The image of the table isn't FLAT like on a normal TV or computer monitor directly infront of you... It DESIGNED (The Graphics) To be viewed from the correct angle... Standing infront of it... Thats the beauty of it. The graphics that represent the top end of the table, and designed to be viewed from that angle... This means it looks COMPLETELY CORRECT. It gives an EXTREMELY REALISTIC PERCEPTION OF DEPTH... (An optical illusion if like) To put it another way, imagine it was a 'Real Table' in an arcade, and you stood on the left or right of the table watching someone play it... Well, the 'far end' would look blurry and distorted - Not right at all. But stand infront of the thing, and play it... It looks EXACTLY like a real table! See the vid I posted in post 3... https://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=18407554&postcount=3 |
