it had to be made as cheaply as possible to keep me from becoming single (my wife is not a big gamer)

it had to be made using many of the components I already had (I already had most of the electronics needed) I wanted two player controls with actual (PC / Xbox 360 / One) hardware for maximum compatibility and ease for all games
#The pinball arcade cabinet Pc
I wanted something that would play Future Pinball, Pinball FX2, The Pinball Arcade, Visual Pinball, MAME Arcade games, and PC games (ie fighting and action games) So I decided to ditch the 3 screens setup and use them to make a combination Pinball and Arcade cabinet that would also play PC games! (I can move the simpit in front of my UHD TV's new location easily when I want to use it).Ĭommence the start of the creation of PinKadia!Īfter reading ALOT of posts of other projects, here is where my priorities were, and what I wanted: Also, with VR headsets coming out, I wouldn't be using those screens as much when I (someday) get one. I would get 2/3 of the same visible screen field of view that I had with 3 screens using a custom 21:9 resolution of 3840x1640, with much nicer colour and resolution. So when I got myself a 55 inch UHD 4K curved TV, for my normal PC gaming, I found I loved playing my racing games on it much better. That being said, I always thought the 3 screens (that spanned almost 10 feet!) were a bit much. The dash has two tablets that act as tachometer / speedometer, and a button box / control panel. The console on the right rotates around to switch between a shifter and flightstick.

It had three 42 inch TVs for surround view, as well as 12 transducers combined with SimVibe software to give vibrational feeback from telemetry data from the racing games I played. It housed my custom simpit that I made for racing and flight sim games. I've also been an electronics technician for 20 years.

I love arcade games and pinball, and video games in general. That being said it is the classic pinball arcade with quality recreations, it appears that they didnt do much with the cab mode views aside from play with the camera angles (which other hacked solutions did for free).I'm a 42 year old guy who grew up in arcades in the 80's and 90's.

I hope that they fix it because I like the games and play, but the images are not as described.

This is not even close to what the angles look like in their preview. As jamman39 says, the other views zoom out and give a narrowing view which is offset from the center of the table and is simply a vertical view of the standard pinball arcade game.
#The pinball arcade cabinet upgrade
Having seen that the camera views can be "hacked" into, this upgrade has only locked certain views in a 3d space without actually improving or providing some sort of real cabinet cabinet view like visual pinball or future pinball. Further to that it is a perpendicular 90degree overhead 2dimensional view of the table so you can't see the trolls in medeival madness, you see the bald spot on the genie in TOTAN and there is no realistic view of the back of the table as a person standing at the front would not be looking down overtop from the center as he plays the game. I totally agree and on top of that their version of true "cabinet views" for monster bash and medieval madness (all i have checked so far) have cut off the majority of the back portion of the cabinets so some toys are not visible. At the far end of my monitor away from me it is very zoomed out I can see the back box and the floor and wall behind the machine and everything. Originally posted by jamman39:I've got my backglass and DMD looking good, my main playfield however seems to be well aligned with my monitor but the camera angles are all wrong.
