I seriously may sell all of my machines because I am so sick of ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- breaking & the LCD pin is really cool.
When you play on a small screen the ball seems to move too fast or unnatural but when the ball has to travel 3 feet on the screen it sure feels real.
---fudgesicle--- this thing its all I think about, well that & the Realtor

I call dibs on the JP.
Looks like you already have the software setup on the LCD project so thats a good first step. Are you going to incorporate a nudge feature?

More than I used the boat that I sold to finance it. Probably 4 months, or so, depending on whether I run the heater.

Nudge: Faux Shaux going to use Chriz99's idea of mercury switches... Previously he taped off sections of multiple tilt sensors which was cool too. That dudes machine is without a doubt the reason I am building mine http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=98252.0
Software: That was just a single monitor/graphic card run via my boring desk/office PC (with a handfull of downloads). Something tells me I have a long road in front of me with the rest of the tables, monitors, hyperspinfe & doing things I don't understand like assigning certain processes to overclocked independent cores or whatever all that means.
I cant wait to play it either, my ideas for art/theme are really taking off too!
LLUncoolJ:
so what's your budget estimate on this project? My primo pinball budget (probably TSPP and at least a year down the road) is in the neighborhood of 3 large.
When I was looking at doing a minipin, the numbers were shaping up to be in the neighborhood of $1200...that was with much smaller monitors than you are using.
