The Simpsons Virtual pinball
« on: March 05, 2017, 05:04:47 pm »
My new project is well under way

Recently picked up an gutted Simpsons  pinball cabinet (Data East 1990).  Proceeded to completely repaint (thanks mom) .  Mom needed some level of created freedom so this isn't an exact repaint but I am extremely pleased knowing that couldn't even begin to attempt this.

Before:




After:



It took all weekend painting and she really enjoyed it. And I got what I wanted :)

Also picked up a computer from our local pawn shop and a new 39" flatscreen for the pkayfield

I've got visual pinball running and future pinball with BAM.  Tested out BAM with a ps3eye and decided to grab a xbox360 Kinect for BAM.


Also have various cabinet parts.  Speakers and amp, flipper buttons , plunger and nudge / controller stuff on the way . Oh and a dot matrix display.

This one I hope will go together fairly quickly. Hope to have it all done by end of March (fingers crossed I can do it)

Thanks people :)

It's infringing on the pool table space
Gotta find a different spot in the man cave.  I can't give up the dart board. I'm considering trading in the pool table for a poker table. Then I'll have more room for the pinball

Very nice! Using a front end?  Got any links/tips available on how to setup FP for dual monitors. The only way I ever see the back glass on my 2nd monitor is if I hit the Print Screen button...soo weird.

Are you using pinball x? Or hyperpin? The backglass should be setup through your frontend.

I was only using FPLoader without a FE for testing when I tried it. I will load up pinballx and give it a go. Thanx for the tip!!

Got the Kinect power adapter from amazon today. Got it working without too much trouble.
I didn't realize that the back glass should be done through the front end. Anybody have a link they could share for setting up backglass and DMD thru pinball x?  I haven't even begun to look into that.  Now also finding out that some parts from virtuapin.net are back ordered. So could be a while before I have a dmd.

I just use simple backglass images and place them in the appropriate folder in pinball x. I used a dual screen setup so i cant help setup a dmd.

More progress. Made a tv mount and did a test fit
Broke my backglass tv mount. Going to get that sorted tomorrow.   It looks like the backglass tv  will have to go up as high as possible to make room for the Kinect and the dmd.  Looking forward to the big delivery. Should be here in a couple weeks.  Now that the monitor is in the cab and BAM knows the pinball cab dimensions the BAM effect looks and feels more natural.





And yes I know the backglass isn't being displayed properly. Not gonna bother tinkering with that stuff until I have the DMD

Looking good. Yeah i wouldnt waste my time messing around with the software until i was done. That junk takes a lot of dicking around to get it right. Any plans on force feedback? Shakers? Rgb?

No plans for force feedback.  I don't know if I want to invest the time and Money into all the DOF stuff and another purgatory of "dicking around"
If I had a chance to try a table with force feedback maybe i would be more interested.  Ya know what I really can't get over. The fact that I can't hear the ball rolling on the play field.  I was at my local Barcade the other day and the tables play fast and heavy. The balls seem so floaty and light in future pinball sometimes.

with VP9 and VPX you basically set up the outputs 1 time through DOF (that piggy backs on B2S backglass plug in), and all the other tables just pull form that config. You dont set it up on a per table basis.


For example you set up pop bumper 1 , pop bumper 2, pop bumper 3, left slingshot, right sling shot, left flipper, and right flipper. All the games with those things will work.

I'll admit I don't know much about virtual pinball, so I had to google what BAM was. Holy hell, that's awesome! It's amazing they can make these things as realistic as they do.

Btw, props to yer mom on the paint touch up. She did a great job.

Got the back-glass tv mounted last night, lockdown bar installed, and PinballX installed.





We're having a little party tonight so I put a few tables on.  Supervision will be required obviously.

Look up Terry reds pinkadia, lots of good information there.

Get and xboxone one kinect the 360 one is crappy in night time environments, the xboxone kinect is flawless and tracks more accurately.

Your also in luck, if you want DOF feedback i have a slew of contactors and and open fram solenoids I'm going to sell here shortly.

Hi - a question about using the new Kinect. I've been collecting parts for my vpin for a while - I'd planned on using the PS3 eye cameras but having to mess around with lenses seems a pain in the ass. Does the Kinect work as well?

With regards to dof- have you looked at this? Seems way less hassle than solenoids...

If you do a kinect use the xboxone kinect.

Using sound for DOF to me makes no sense, go with the solenoids they are cheap....open frame or automotive.

I had bought an Xbox one Kinect but because of the need for windows 8 or better I returned it and managed to find an xbox360 Kinect for $19 at the local pawn shop :score!:   It's great when your alone but wen I had a room full of people had to go back to static cam in BAM because it kept picking up the movement of people around me.  Not sure it the Xbox one Kinect would handle that better.  Anyway I'm going to stick with the 360 Kinect for the budget on this one. And yes I can testify that the 360 kinect doesn't perform in low light.

360 is better for the budget, but your accuracy will be off, which is why is stepped up to the ONE, also the 360 model does not track very well at night. If you read on the bam site, ONE is the suggested overall pick for BAM.

You are right though it does track those around you, I normally just tell folks to stand more towards the back and not directly behind me, for some reason its likes the color blue, anyone with a blue shirt it pick is immediately.

Nice one - that's exactly what I wanted to know.  :cheers: It seems to me that budget pretty much goes out of the window when you're doing a vpin anyway!

I'm still not sure about the solenoids though. On Aussie arcade they're raving about how good the speakers work in terms of table feedback. I'm not much of a pinhead though so I'll probably have to try both and see which one I prefer.

I didn't read that whole 17 page thread but it sounded like the audio force feedback thingy hadn't been tested with future pinball.  It may be a matter of choosing between vp and fp if going that route

I'm gonna finish my cab before I worry about force feedback. I don't think I'll bother in the end. I've made compromises to accommodate budget already. And often my gaming happens after the wife's gone to bed. solenoids = noise
For me having a real DMD is the icing on the cake.   I don't think my cab will win any awards in the community but it'll be good looking and entertaining.

Yeah if your gonna do it go solenoids or contactors, its just sounds and feels more natural.

There is a night mode configured for Future pinball which shuts down all DOF toys, and sound only.

I said same thing prior to my build, oh i dont need all of that but you will want it sooner than later, it completes the build totally.

There are no community awards, they were Canadian Arkilled, so don't worry about em.

You can just wire a toggle switch to the power line feeding the solenoids, flip the switch and there's no noise. I really cant put in to words how much better a VPin is with them. They arent exactly a budget buster either. I think I spent like $50 on it?

well close.....


Sainsmart USB 8 port relay was $25 ,
ZYE1-0837ZP (Solenoids) are about $5 a pop, so 35
resistors were like $2

so $62. I had wiring on hand. There are other ways to do it , like if you have an LEDWiz sitting around collecting dust.

well close.....


Sainsmart USB 8 port relay was $25 ,
ZYE1-0837ZP (Solenoids) are about $5 a pop, so 35
resistors were like $2

so $62. I had wiring on hand. There are other ways to do it , like if you have an LEDWiz sitting around collecting dust.

Circling back to my previous comment about not wanting to dick around with all of it.  I'm sticking to my plan. Finish the build and if I'm really looking for some kind of extra finishing touch MAYBE I'll look at dof.

DOF is not that difficult to setup, and it adds a whole lot to the experience.  I added some gottlieb chimes to my cab and playing em's and having it hit real chimes on scoring is pretty f'in amazing.
My Projects:
MisSpent Youth a Vigolix bartop,  Little Bastard a rotating tablet/display bartop,
Pin-Dog a mini pin-cab on vpforums.org  Star Wars a wedgehead pincab on vpinball.com
