Linux Powered Pinball
ChadTower:
Seeing as how I just fried the driver board and maybe MPU of my Laser Cue, maybe I should do this. :-[
RayB:
Ah, the guy did what I once wanted to do. I wanted to build my own pinball table, but handle all the logic and score display through my Commodore 64. :-D
scooter:
A picture of it can be found here.
The scoring (and other) info is displayed on the monitor on the left.
(And who *is* that handsome guy playing it? Could that *really* be scooter?) ;D
ChadTower:
That does present some interesting scenarios, if someone wanted to slap an LCD in place of a backglass and code up a nice front end display.
Howard_Casto:
I'm not sure what you guys found... but what I was referring to was indeed pinmame hacked to run a real machine via the parallel port and a tad bit of circuitry.
All pinmame replaced was the dmd display and the electronics required to handle the electronics on the table as well as the audio. The system was by no means "headless" it just made it possible to restore a gutted table without the need to purchase the pcbs and dmd display. Which btw, is exactly how some people use mame (myself included) when repairing cabinets with rare pcbs.
