A Xbox 360 Pinball Controller
(1/4) > >>
DJ_Izumi:
I've had this idea in my head and I've wanted to discuss it to see if it's fesable or not.  Obviously the game in mind is Pinball Hall Of Fame, The Williams Collection and maybe if anything else comes out like say 'The Bally Collect'?  I can dream.  The standard controller is pretty good for pinball but I thought it'd be neat to make a pinball controller that could then sit atop a table/desk when the game is being played.

Easy Necessities:
Left and right trigger or shoulders mounted to the sides for the flippers.  (This is the easy one)
A, B, X, Y face buttons to allow menu navitation and change of camera views.
D-Pad to allow further menu navigation.

Hard Necessities:
An accelerometer capable of being wired in as the 360 controller's left analog stick for nudging.  Something that can have it's sensitivity dialed too as it's going to be a lot easier to nudge something the size of a desktop podium rather than a full sized pinball table.
A plunger that can be wired to the right analog stick and extend from the netural point to it's maximum downward direction.

The last two are what stump me, especially the nudge functions.  But I think the end results could be pretty neat.  Anyone have any ideas?

Yeah... your last two aren't gonna happen.

And if this man says it, you can believe it.

And those are the two that are necessary to even make it worth while. :(
Malenko:
meh, couldnt you just super glue something to the analog sticks? like one that nudges left and right, and then another one for the plunger?

maybe youre over thinking it.
