It was a long day with working on the pinball bartop and installing a pc for my wife and install the laptop for the son....

Power-cord is soldered and speakers are placed.
T-molding hammered on and buttons where they belong

Lockdown bar and bezel strips have to be redone...
I paint them satin black, to give it a little different look that I like.

Maybe I change the plexi for glass....

Sleep well

Is there a special kind of glass for it?
Don't want a reflection, so I think normal window glass is not working?

rablack97 · « **Reply #44 on:** January 27, 2014, 12:16:49 pm »

Look up anti reflective glass.......might be pricey though....

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The outside is done.
It cost me a lot of redo time.
Monitor replaced, spray the lock downbar and trips was a hell.... spray, filler, sandpaper, spray, filler, sandpaper... on and on and on... till I was satisfy.
I had to redo over and over again the under L strip for the Backglass monitor. it needed a specific angle.
First I did it with aluminium, but it was all bumpy and not good, after that I did it with plexi and a heat gun.... mwa... plexi and flame was a good combination, but plexi with the spraycan not. after spraying it was bending and cracking

Make another one, the same.. so back to aluminium, and this time with another approach and that was the final one....

I did find a new monitor of the same brand and size, but after open up the case, the whole frame was different, so I had to redo that also, to get it fit into the backglass position ...

that made some scratches on the paint on the inside, so redo paint that whole area

But now I'm back where I was left before the problem week started

Pc is up and running and damn fast, and it runs only one table.. Monster Bash. Love that table gamer
So in the next couple of day's it will be working on the inside and installing and setting up the software.

Till then..... ROCK ON

I bet maximus would be proud that you put that shotglass holder on the lockdown bar.

Project looks excellent.

I think he's crying for not using the 2k model

today it's solder time

Superfrog · « **Reply #49 on:** February 06, 2014, 07:23:11 pm »

Lockdown bar is ready and works like a charm

The stick I can use for nudge and in Mame for gaming .

I did use a old scard cable to got a plug and play system, and it has all the wires in it.... so easy to use

Did install the first table Monster Bash with animated backglass and in Hyperpin with animated table and it look VERY SLICK.

So, next job is to install more tables and the mame stuff....

I love it when a plan comes together

Thanks guys who took the time to vote for a theme

And it's my all time fav. band KISS who won the poll.

Here is my concept where I working on.

Superfrog · « **Reply #53 on:** February 11, 2014, 05:54:09 pm »

Yessss,

Finally after some big struggle with HyperPin, I moved over to PinballX and it worked FANTASTIC

Here a quick result.

List to do: Add more tables, design the KISS artwork for printing, add Mame and other emulators

Enjoy

It's awesome and I want it

but dang it I liked the South Park theme better

, South Park seemed more unique.

In the end no matter as it is Bad Friggn A.

Superfrog · « **Reply #57 on:** February 13, 2014, 05:42:25 pm »

Thanks guys

This was a quick artwork section compare to the popeye artwork

As a KISS fan from 1977 to now, it's GREAT to see this pinball bartop with the demo artwork on it.
I had to redesign the playfield section, because of my flipper button placement is different than on the original cab

But I can live with that

Next week I'm free of work, so hopefully the artwork will arrive in time

With some luck, he will buy it from me, but on the other hand, I could hire myself a lawyer

Today I did upload the artwork for printing and with some luck I got it about 2 days

I picked my old Love Gun album and made a scan of the inlay for my Mala frontend

It's coming along very well ....

See you

Superfrog · « **Reply #61 on:** February 19, 2014, 06:05:24 pm »

It's very satisfying to made a layout from scratch in Mala.
A lot of time consuming, but at the end you got a unique piece of artwork

Here some concept shoots from the Mame section.

Greetings

Superfrog · « **Reply #62 on:** February 21, 2014, 08:55:09 am »

Hell Yeah

With some KISS Alive II on the background, I put the final stickers on my pinball machine

It's a beauty if I may say so

The black paint is exactly the same as the glossy sticker, and before I put it on, I did go with a black marker around the side of the cutting line, so I don't got a little tiny white line.

I'm not satisfied about the stickers on the inside of the coin door

Maybe I print a whole new sticker for that, but then I have a lot more work on that

coin door.

Here some quick pictures for those who still like to see some KISS

Back to designing the last couple of mala layouts...

Pure awesomeness. Just Wow

Would have loved to see it stay South Park themed, but not knocking Kiss.

Is this considered -Finished- now? Any chance for a FE / gameplay video?

KISS is much more iconic than South Park. I say you made the right decision.

we have a member of the family here

Destroyer theme was also a option, but the original pinball had the Love Gun look.

it's no playing time yet

lots of design stuff is going on for Hyperspin.

Back to HyperSpin and it's a lot of work to got a vertical layout.

I'm coming close to the end of the layout setup and all the menu and controller settings.
Have to make some animations voor the background and logo to give it a finishing touch.

2 things I DON'T like ... is the game info text is Vertical :hyssifit: I can't get it at the bottom of the video.
And the resolution is 1024x768 but my monitor is 1920x1080

I have to stretch it down to 1024x768 otherwise it will not displayed correctly.. when I use my 1920 settings and background, it will not show the whole picture.
When I use the 1024 settings and background, it will stretch out and it looks not so crispy and smooth

Anyone know how I can overcome those two problems??

Back to designing :evilsmile:

Jip, playing arcade games also on the backglass monitor and it works very well

I run HyperPin before, but was very buggy for me, specially with the buttons configuration.
Jump over to PinballX and all worked fine.

HyperSpin is my main frontend and in the wheel section is a PinballX Icon, so after that it will run PinballX for the pinball tables.

When I'm done with the setup, I do a short video how it will works

Superfrog · « **Reply #78 on:** March 06, 2014, 04:34:48 pm »

Hi there,

I made a quick video of what the concept will be.
Lots of reactions did not understand that I can play arcade games also on this one

I need to install more emulators and pinball tables and really a lot of tweaking before I can laydown the keyboard and fire it up with one button press

Enjoy
