Arcade Tilt Idea For Emulated Pinball Games
DinoRoger:
Here ismy idea for getting tilt to occur in pinball games if the cab is rocked (Just like in real pinball). Two-mercury switches barley angled at opposite angles. Have the angle where the mercury switches are not completing the circuit but almost. When the cab if shifted left or right by a player with the slightest touch the circuit will complete and the tilt key will be pressed. Link the wires to either a keyboard/game pad hack or I-PAC.

Nice. Now just add a real plunger that hits a Happs' switch or arcade button mounted inside the control panel (thats going on my next setup).
DinoRoger:
Great idea TheTick! ;D
TheTick:
Which pinball games are you using? The old Epic tables only had a single bump (bottom bump?). I was just looking at the one that comes with windows and it has Left, Right, and Bottom bump.
DinoRoger:
Virtual Pinball - Emulates thousands of tables and I believe will simulate all bumps.
