Has anyone built a dedicated vertical PinMAME cabinet?
MPTech:
I've got visual Pinball & Future Pinball loaded on my MAME Cab, and to tell you the truth, I enjoy them more than the MAME games (sometimes). I'm playing it on a 25" TV in my cab, but on my desktop, I have a 19" flat panel widescreen and it looks AWESOME!! rotating it would be even better!
I've considered the dedicated Pin Machine and agree that it could be very cool. I like the dedicated Cab with the plunger, but I think I'd go with the second monitor too, for the back glass.
Good luck and post your progress!
btw, if this is the same SPYSTYLE that sold the cab plans on epay, THANK YOU!!! :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:
That's how I got started and my friend and I built 2 of them. Couldn't be HAPPIER and friends and family members are impressed with the results. :cheers:

How exactly do they recreate the tables accurately? Do they scan/photograph the artwork and lay down the playfield rules on top of that or someone basically just creates the graphics from scratch while looking at a table?
I like pinballs, but a digital pinball of something mechanical seems a little hokey.
Hawk Daddy:
Why not get like a 32" lcd tv, and use that, it would be closer to the main play field size anyway.

Actually, it kicks but! You would be surprised how real it seems, and that is just playing on my desktop.
For awhile I was dead set on building a virtual pinball machine. Then I realized how much work, time & money to build a mame cab and I kinda lost interest in my grand virtual pinball dream. Now that my mame cab is near complete, it doesn't seem like a bad idea...I just need a lot of funds to do it how I want to...
Good luck to anyone that tackles this. I would like to see some customs start popping up. :cheers:

It's true, I am the real SpyStyle
and I do sell my tutorial on ePay, sometimes I am flamed for it on this forum, we'll see if you may have opened a can of worms.
But with hundreds of hours into it, over 20 chapters, over 1000 pictures, and lifetime support, I think $9.50 doesn't make me a capitalist.
I'm glad you liked it :) I just updated it too.
As for the vertical digital pinball table, I'll keep you posted.
Cheers,
Craig
