It was nice to meet you and your wife at TPF.  This is another amazing build by you!! Played about six games on this and it was very impressive.

Only pic I managed to get of it while you were setting it up :)

Did you make that Killer Instinct in the background?  It looks somewhat familiar.

You are always #1 in my book.   ;D

Where was that?  My wife is wanting to go to Austin and Houston for some reason next year.  I'm looking for arcade options to line up with a trip.

Cool.  That may be enough to get us down there.  She's been wanting to visit Texas for a while.


ZapCon no bueno??? :-(

If it were during spring break and/or spring training we likely would have gone.

Quality build. I just wish the back glass monitor didn't squish the designs. That kills it for me.

Same as you I cannot stand the older backglasses that get squished on a 16:9 or 16:10 screen. I wrote individual .REZ files (tablename.rez) which will custom size each B2s backglass per table. For newer DMD tables I just let them run at 1920X1080 but for the older 4:3 sized backglasses I run them at 1440X1080. Here is an example of how CV looks. This is just my test setup as I have yet to start building my cab but I have my Pin2DMD and Pinscape and Ledwiz all ready to go. hahah excuse the cardboard under the backglass monitor.. had to do something to set it on top of the computer.

Yeah it's software config issue i didnt get around to perfecting but now that it's home I will clean alot of this up, probably rebuild the drive and go win 7 instead of 10 this go round.

As VP 10 is evolving i'm gonna go with all vp 10 tables, Future, pinball arcade, and pinball fx2.
