I just saw this comment thanks for the tip killer penguins, also keep up the great content. Check out killer penguins channel if you like virtual pinball.

1080p 60 fps is the way to go, looks great and cost is way cheaper than $2000 4k virtual pinball machines.

@@TampaTec Yeah for 32" or below screen 1080p is fine with eyes 500mm from screen its hard to see pixlation. People with 42" screens may need the 4k though.

Ya know what, that's not the case tho...Check out the comment I just posted...It's the data cable....Not all data cables will work...

@@richardabkstorm9009 Well. It was the same cable in both cases (laptop and desktop) . When I added a power USB hub to my laptop it suddenly worked, again same cable.

@@richardabkstorm9009 Unless I’m looking at the wrong comment, your point isn’t the data cable but that it needs powered using the same cable. Sound like an impedance issue from computer to cabinet.

Following instructions to the letter and still it doesn't recognize.

Where is the dmd screen?

@@danieldiehl3915 Check the comment I just posted, it's the data cord...

@@rxeman did you figure this out? Mine isnt recognizing the cabinet as an xbox controller. Only if i do it thru bluetooth wirelessly. But thru a 6ft data usb 3.0 A to A cable it doesnt work. I tried another cable i had which is usb 3 A to C with a C-to-A adapter and it also doesnt read it

Can you please tell us which cable you’re using for the cabinet to read as an xbox game controller. It doesnt work for a 6ft insignia data transfer usb 3 A-to-A cable that i bought. Not sure what cable will work. Ive tried another A to Type-C with an adapter type-c to A, and that didnt work either. It only works if i connect it wirelessly but theres massive lag

Same here

Yes. That video will release tomorrow.

I'm in the same boat. Works great except no sound. If you find a solution please post here

@@marshallandroxy i tried some different USB cables that were 2 meters or smaller and im working. i'd recommend picking up a couple from walmart or amazon and trying different brands.

Not on mine but I think it should be possible. Exciters are speakers and work while playing but I don't have Solenoids connected for Force feedback.

update .. I've fixed my sound. Still no ball launcher (plunger) .. and the nudge buttons control the flippers not the nudge? (the flipper buttons are working fine .. it's got 4 flipper buttons?) Please advise thanks

@@ronreed3235 you ever figured it out? After you launch FX3, you need to navigate to controller settings and assign your white pinball buttons as nudge (during Steam setup, these buttons were mapped to LT and RT). As for plunger controller, I have no idea 😭 Edit: I figured it out. In Steam controller settings, when you redefine your controller, scroll down to Right Stick Y, press enter on your keyboard to configure, at this point pull back the plunger - and that's it 👍

Yes if you turn it up in legends pinball settings.

My laptop isn't a gaming laptop it has AMD Ryzen 7 which isnt very good.

@@TampaTec Thanks so much for the info! Appreciate it. Looks like the Ryzen 7 was handling FX3 good enough for some fun casual Williams vpin.

To setup Legends Pinball plunger in steam controller setup to Play FX3 see here- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jslnmKZqq9XVkps.html

I use Alienware alpha steam edition pc i3 3ghz dual core 8gb ram AMD and use another Alienware alpha PC i3 3ghz 16gb gtx video.

I did that once so I factory reset and fixed it. Just sign back in and you're good.

yes, then I used right USB port on legend pinball and fixed the issue.

@@TampaTec Yeah that didn't work. It seems to be a driver issue. My PC just doesnt want to recognize the Legends pinball. I have seen other people have the same issue.

@@arishavzin7984 Check the comment I just posted...It's your data cord....

Either pc mouse or Atgames Legends controls should work in steam. if not be sure legends otg is active, usb plugged into right port on legends pinball to pc, and pc USB input hid drivers on pc are enabled then configured in steam controller menu.

Do you have your switch hooked up to the legends pinball? Or what is your build??

@@slimc7760 I have a dedicated cab for my switch , , digital media player with all the backglass videos on flash drive and just play the them on a thirty second loop , usb encoder for the plunger and buttons , plunger is actually hooked up with a small steel cable running to analog stick with a three inch extension on the analog stick itself to get a more precise control, extension is made out of I think three-quarter electrical conduit fits over analog stick perfectly , I have 200+ tables maybe plus donkey Kong and Gallaga ,dig dug , and all that stuff as well, and used the original commercials them games to play on a the backglass , haptic feedback is through exciters , only thing I don’t have is a dedicated dmd screen , it still remains on playfield obviously

@@greazer1909 thanks for the info. What USB encoder will work with the switch? Or did you take apart a switch controller and solder?

@@slimc7760 I did have a wired controller that I just Soldered off that at first but when I switch to the plunger I went ahead and got the encoder just because I thought, or didn’t want my wires coming loose from all the plunger action

Some people have been having problems with this encoder with It locking up without the L3 and R3 buttons or wires plugged in , I have not ,, but just keep that in mind if you have problems

Depends on your PC and hdmi cable connection. I have AMD graphics laptop.

@@TampaTec Ok, thanks. I heard that everyone was having the issue with OTG. Something about the HDMI passthrough.

True, crazy tech but nothing like playing the real Pinball machine which I just bought. I'm sure you could buy a broken pacman or Pinball machine and fix it to flip it.

Might be a device driver, go into device manager to update controller driver. I found this video to help. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jslnmKZqq9XVkps.html

@@jonmatched yes in the control panel.

Yes

Update graphics driver.

@@TampaTec oh man, was afraid of that. Just bought the laptop yesterday. I-7 with the 16gb ram. Should I return it?

@@shootsalot I had the same problem initially.....what's happening is that the game is in the negative X part of the screen....it's there but just off screen. Assuming you have a vibs and using cabinet mode, you might be able to get enough on screen to change your orientation and screen resolution in cabinet mode if you turn off your vibs. Then you can flip it back on when you fix the resolution

Controller input. The Legends buttons are now the controls for the laptop running the game.

@@isometrixk ok, I just don't follow how plugging in the cable allows this to work. Does this allow the pinball to talk to the Pinball FX3 software so that the buttons can be mapped?

Needs to select cabinet mode in fx3 but needs activate code. Zen fx3 ask for pics of your pinball cabinet to be emailed to them for some reason before they reply with activation code. It's a pain I know.
