Latency is a deal breaker for me...hope they fix it.

I came across your channel by accident. Very interesting. I had no idea such a thing existed. BTW, the Centigrade 37 game you reference as part of the 12 games, I designed that game (I worked for both Gottlieb and Premier Technology). I also programmed "Bone Busters" and "Class of 1812", and worked on "Lights, Camera, Action". I also helped program Haunted House.

The delay killed it for me..... you can’t have that in pinball

If ETA PRIME didn't complain about stuff like the latency then I wouldn't watch this channel. He's honest and never became an affiliate link seller.

It's a sweet device, but the latency kills it for me. Even watching the latency is frustrating. Pinball is all about timing, so there should be no latency.

That latency on bumpers is a game killer for me. Especially for pinball.

If you’re interested in playing the original Gottlieb Haunted House pinball machine and live in North Carolina, there is a playable one at the Asheville Pinball Museum.

I was kind of on the fence about picking one up, but thanks to your honest review I decided that my money would be better spent towards another real table.

After watching this video I got inspired to open my laptop so that its flat, lay it down and fire up some mame pinball roms. Kinda random but I thought you should know lol.

The Bezels are for your BEER!!! 🍻

So, this appears to be a port of "The Pinball Arcade" by Farsight Studios. Since they lost the Williams/Bally license, I'm assuming the Gottlieb tables are all they still have a license for.

LOL the ball seems like it’s floating on air. They should have licensed Pinball FX 3 engine which is awesome.

Hope they come out with a Bally or Williams version. Also, hope they take care of the latency.

Mine is wrapped under the tree. I am looking forward to Christmas morning.

That thicccc boarder kill this for me. No sure, I don't like it

This looks an awful lot like a reskin of The Pinball Arcade, right down to the instructions mode and achievements. They have all 12 games in their DLC library as well.

I would love to just see everything you have. You seem to have so many things i haven't even seen in stores, like this.

Spot on review with the slow mo latency. Wish they had spent a little more on the CPU and got rid of the latency

Can't wait to see V2 of this. V1 is clearly crappy but the idea is gold. FIX IT AND TAKE MY MONEY

I've been considering making one of these and slapping a PC inside for Pinball FX, could probably use an old Dell/HP Office PC.

Not bad looks fun and for the price can't go wrong

I wish you'd make virtual pinball videos and how to set it up in Launch box, emulators, etc

Thats really cool for what you get. Ironically I would want a smaller one lol. I live in a camper. When there cheaper might keep one at a friend's house.

How is the ball physics, though? That's what I want to know.

Digital pinball? New one on me! Looks great fun, though.

I'd paint the bezel black. The gray color looks weird on it. Other than that, I want one!

Argh! That latency really is a dealbreaker. Kinda like THE biggest deal with pinball. So disappointed! I was totally about to start saving for one of these. Thanks so much for reviewing it in such great detail! 👍

Man even when you had it at normal speed, I could "feel" the latency through the vid. I could never get used to that and makes it an 100% deal breaker at this stage.

Thank you for reveiwing this machine. I have a digital pincab in my house and always interested in what's going on in the digital pinball market. Black Hole is a very addicting table!

Nothing beats a physical pinball machine.

Looks brilliant mate nice one don 🤠🇬🇧👍👍👍

I don’t think it’s too bad, considering the intended market. It wasn’t built for aficionados of real pinball machines, and wasn’t meant to compete with systems from companies like GRS, which are way more expensive. It’s a toy, and will be played by kids who have never played a real table. The price is a little high, but it will probably drop after Christmas.

This is a cool idea for those who love pinball but don't have the space for a real one.

I love the idea here, but ball physics need work.

Can we get a game room tour? Apologies if you already did one.

honestly I'd be tempted to get one, gut out everything (i.e. change the screens so that they're two monitor style screens as well as the buttons), slap custom decals on there and get a custom PC with Future Pinball on.

Wow, Black Hole, I haven’t seen that table since I was little. I played tons of pinball in the early nineties, but not Gottlieb. Gilligan’s Island and Addams Family were more my jam.

The geometry skill of these companies is is hilarious. These aren't 3/4 scale. They're closer to half scale.

i build my 24" pinball out of used pc parts... 2 used monitors (40 Euros) a used core 2 quad pc for 20 Euros. Used PC 3in1 speaker system 5 Euros. a 120 GB ssd with windows and tables 20 Euros. Buttonset (8 Euros) + the wood and work... So you can build a better system like this for around 100 Euros if you make it DIY and use used parts. Also its fun to do so. good thing is the marque display changes when you use pinballx. and you can add tons of tables. Mine has around 400 now.

Looks like a great little machine, I would happily pick one up but the latency is really a deal-breaker.

Get sum of those plastic bed frame leg raisers to raise it. There like a big plastic block that's made for legs of beds to sit into to make taller, but would work great for this, comes in black plus can get em @ Walmart! Simple solution

It would be cool if they added a usb so you could download your pinball games

How can they leave the flippers timing screwed up?!? Thats essential too pinball. That will be a no for me.

Honestly, I think the latency exists because of the lack of power in the CPU. It's unable to run the tables accurately enough to limit the latency. I'm still interested though. I would probably replace the computer and eventually the field display. I could do the recroom masters cabinet, but this seems like a little less effort. I'll look into it more.

time to see mods!!!!

I am not sure I've ever heard of a digital pinball machine before (other than just normal video games) - one set up like an actual pinball machine is pretty awesome. Now I want to dive into videos of people building their own using RPis or other SBC or PCs.

When you do the mod on it make sure you put SPACE CADET.

These are on sale for $549 now....399 was a steal, you just didn't know it.

I'd love to follow ETA PRIME on a custom (or even pre-built) digital pinball build journey! I hope to have one in my home within the next five years. In the meantime, thank you for giving us a look at this off-the-shelf possibility!

Cool I own several real pinball machines one being black hole and the huge problem here is the balls move way slower than they should

I wish they would of made this based on the Black Hole cabinet with spinning black Hole backbox instead of Haunted House. Then I would of bought it. Never the less, it's a pretty cool concept. However, I dont need one of these because I have a decent collection of original real full sized pinball machines. There ain't nothin like the real thang baby.

Almost worth it for Black Home alone Haunted House is a great one also. Always loved Gottleib tables......Good Lord I'm getting old lol!

I’m just coming across this video now I hope they fix the lag that you were talking about because my machine is arriving today and the price jumped to $600

I have paid les them that for my pinball ( old electromechanical bally, all 3 of them).

Should have done a blackhole theme imo. I hope they can get a Williams license, would love to see Black Knight 2000 and Bride of Pinball, both are in my opinion the peak of pinball design and pinball machines started majorly declining after.

Toy Shark is expensive toy virtual pinball, same here love to have virtual pinball some day. Great Video Review like always ETA Prime ! :D EDIT - 5:50 very important when playing these virtual pinball games. thanks for showing !

These are sweet. I’d like to do a Pokemon Pinball build maybe. Kinda bored of tinkering with the Arcade1Ups and want to do something new.

Who likes Bally/Williams over Gottlieb? Your thoughts 💭

The Nudge has a faster response than the actual flipper buttons. I wish you can add more games on here instead of modding the entire pinball machine. On a scale from 1-10 what is your rating on this game?

the flipper lag is the same on "pinball arcade" which I also returned because of this same issue.

The legs aren't adjustable, so how do you level it? Note: The above is a joke, I'm sorry I have to point that out but so many people seem to be humour impaired these days…

...but can it be modified 🙏

Wow kool pinball machine,i like it..i wish I would have the space to have one of those..

You're awesome at doing tutorials. I really hope that you'll do a tutorial to setup the virtual pinpall "emulator". Not an easy task to set it up properly. :)

Input delay ruins it for me. Also should have some sort of knocking function to make it more realistic. Would have been an easy buy for me then.

Thanks for the demo. Looks pretty interesting.

Aww man.. Now I need a raise, or second job to buy this stuff! Will wait for the second run machines when they get the flipper issues worked out, or possibly make it upgradeable. Thank you once again for your wonderful review!

The state of that damn bezel.

Another Top Notch Review by ETA Prime! Well done as always good sir! For those who want to know MORE about this product including seeing some exclusive upcoming cabinet releases and improvements you may want to check out and join The Official Toy Shock Digital Pinball Fan Page on Facebook. Great community over there, well moderated! Toy Shock will be at CES next month as well (nudge nudge wink wink)! It is very difficult to cram a $5,000 Machine into a $400 Machine, for what it is, this Toy Pinball (it is definitely a TOY) is a lot of fun!

Latency sucks ...thanks for the good review I’ll hold off till a better unit come’s along

how can a bigger monitor be added?

That latency is gross. I don't understand why game controllers are released before bugs like this are ironed out. Unacceptable.

Part of the delay might be slapping the flipper buttons instead just rest your fingers on the buttons then push

They’re getting there... another couple years. 😆

Dang could have atheist blended the bezel with cabinet art or made it black

So is it basically a 24 inch monitor turned 90*? If there's a normal digital interface it may be replaceable to help with that border.

Please mod this bad boy like you did the arcade 1 up! I need that follow along video to make it happen lol.

To anyone who sees this in the comments, have a wonderful day & remember you are Awesome😊. Thanks for the video ETA!

I’d love one but maybe a bit smaller like a table top one slimmer and easier to put away that would make me easier for me to own as space is an issue

Why does there seem like a lot of lag on gameplay. You mentioned the flippers but its choppy everywhere else. Or is my wifi connection slow..

Good morning ETA Prime. It looks like the machine is running the Pinball Arcade app. I have that on my 1st gen Pixel XL and have several games. I wonder if the interface can accept additional pins?

need a looking glass pinball

This looks very much like Farsight Studio - Pinball Arcade I have on my computer. On the computer can't say I've noticed any latency though, with either the flippers, or the plunger controls.

A monitor with a faster refresh rate would solve the latency issue ?

As the kind of psycho who built his own full size cab, it's not hard do it yourself. These are the same versions that you can buy through steam on the pinball arcade. (but seriously, just wait for pinball fx3, it'w superior, or vpx which is superior to that)

I wish the bezel was green the same as Cab.

Hmmm is it just me or... I have actually never heard of those pinball machines.. I’m a late 70’s, growing up in the 80’s. Arcades and skating rinks.. just never even played those!

I would like to see more of the Haunted House Board.

You should totally grab a cheap 1080p panel @32" or whatever will fit in that cabnet and do a bezel trim and a fresh plexy. You also said more systems... would love to see that. Is there a company that has remade the classic digital space cadet cabnet we use to play on windows?

I'd pay a little more for a playfield without the giant bezel and a virtual backglass. As it sits, I'd do $199.95 if/when it makes it to clearance.

I bought a toy shock pinball machine in September 2021. I emailed customer service the same week with an issue. NO reply. Nothing.

The latency is a bummer, I like the idea but I think that would kill it for me. It doesn't seem terrible but enough that it would bug me.

I can see the delay in real time while your playing. That's not gonna work for me.

I want to fast forward to like generation 4 of these things and have it right now.

Very helpful video, thanks.

Could just purchase some plastic bed risers from Walmart. They make them in two heights.

You say that the flipper-latency isn't really an issue and you're use to it, yet in the video I saw several occasions where you missed shots because of flipper-latency. That just makes me think you're not being honest in your criticism.

NO Reason for that HUGE GIGANTIC BOARDER around the game , Thats a deal breaker for me , I wouldnt even consider it because of that !

ETA, like the Arcade 1ups, not sure on the geometry they are using to say this is 3/4 scale ;)

If they include Space Cadet and Epic Pinball it's an instabuy for me.
