Guys I am hoping to incorporate some controls for pinball into my current project. I initially thought I just needed a left & right flipper button on the sides of the cab. Will that do it or do I need a few more? Thanks Stace :) |

Depends on how "authentic" you want it. Not only is there left and right..and a plunger button(or actual plunger if you are crazy about it), but there should be a second set for left nudge and right nudge(and possibly doubling as a second set of independent flippers, but most work at the same time I think). Then if you are like me, I actually made what some people would either call ugly or overcall, another front button to have front nudge. I put the button exactly where the right pluger is on the left side to make it all even. But to be honest, if I had the right kind of control panel I would have put it dead center to actually nudge it with my big fat belly. I suggest Pinball Pro series cause they are simply the BEST. That and the fact that with the XP patch all 4 games work with Vista in high resolution(if your card can handle it). The Big Race, The Web, Time Shock, and Fantastic Journey...breathtaking graphics! |

Thanks, got any pics? So could I get away with left/right flipper, left/right nudge and a plunger button? |

I use Visual Pinball and 7 buttons: Left/Right Flipper Left/Right Nudge Center nudge (doubles as a pause button for MAME) Plunger Start key ("S" -- some Visual Pinball tables require this to start vs a "1") I guess technically I use 9 keys, the 8th and 9th ones being reuses of Coin1 and Player1 buttons from MAME. In truth, I've never had to really use center nudge when playing a game, but I wanted to have all-options. |

I'm not really a pinball player, but would like the option and may even get stuck in. Do you think its worth incorporating? :dizzy: |
