Not yet finished but a good place to post an update. My 3/4 size Vpin sits at the edge of our sunken lounge putting it at just the right height to walk up and play. Still to complete are the coin plate - admin buttons for accessing admin features in most tables. Also lock-down bar, DOF lighting and main screen bezel need to be finished. I've spent most of the last few weeks working on PinballX menu stuff and getting table setups right. I struggled for a bit with an interesting problem..all of a sudden one day my flipper controls stopped working altogether. WTF! It really puzzled me until I found out it was a Windows update causing the problem with my control boards. I promptly uninstalled the update and the problem vanished. Simple menu system in PinballX. See if you can spot the vandal graffiti I scratched into my own artwork :lol The cabs theme game. I've re-done most of the music in game. After many years playing this, the original music gets on my nerves a bit. A few other tables I've added... I love playing these older tables, they sound and play great! Cool looking Tron table. I've had enough of Melbourne winter so heading off to Bali with the wife for a few weeks. More when I get back... |

That looks awesome :applaud: I agree about the older pin tables looking really good. On my vpin the newer tables with lots of decorations always look a little off (2d plane and all that) but the older tables look and feel fantastic. I've been following this build since you started it and it's definitely my favourite vpin build. |

You have some really clean fit and finish. Looks factory made. Kudos! Sorry if I missed it, but did you summarize anywhere what you did for computer software/hardware? I saw you're using PinballX but curious about some of your other integrations and how hi-spec of a computer you used. |

With Ond builds it is all about design and eye candy to me anyway :D Living the dream vicariously. |

One table that surprised me was Spongebob Square pants. It does have some nice depth feel and great lighting too! --- Quote from: meyer980 on July 05, 2025, 10:57:14 am ---You have some really clean fit and finish. Looks factory made. Kudos!

Paint finishes and artwork take time. Preparation and small details make the difference. I did cover the hardware briefly, repeated below: 12th gen Intel i7 CPU DDR 5 supporting motherboard, 32 GB DDR 5 RAM RTX 3060 Ti GPU The main table screen is an LG 4K monitor, and the backslash screen is an 21.5" 4:3 NEC monitor. The system runs Windows 11, 64bit Visual Pinball and PinballX front end. I will eventually change Windows booting into Windows Explorer shell as well. --- Quote from: Zebidee on July 07, 2025, 12:56:11 am --- With Ond builds it is all about design and eye candy to me anyway :D Living the dream vicariously. --- End quote --- This is true, especially the design bit. I can talk design (mine and others) all day long ;D I'm getting some R&R at the moment but back soon enough. When this project is completed ill look at doing a video to show it off a bit. |
