I appreciate your enthousiasm, but I currently have a lot of other projects in sight that I want to do first. I bought several arcades that need to be restored :)

I have thought about making and selling machines, but I'm more interested in doing different projects each time

If you want the knowledge, checkout the Pinscape build guide, it contains tons of info! If you don't have the time, you can also buy ready-made vpins so you don't need to build one yourself

⁠My wife doesn't want me to set up a full-sized pinball machine at home. Therefore, I would like to buy something similar to: Pin Station by Gibson Pinball. This is a standalone controller for playing pinball on PC and in VR. However, it is currently unavailable for purchase. -- You have unique technical knowledge and experience. I, along with many others, would happily buy small pinball game controllers from you. -- - Why do people need small pinball controllers? Because they can be easily shipped worldwide. Also, they are in much higher demand. Not everyone can afford a real large pinball table. It's not just about money, but also about the available space at home. Many people rent their homes. They would never buy a large table, but they would gladly buy a small realistic pinball controller. -- Dude, you yourself are already a global brand in the world of mini pinball controllers! This niche is free and not yet occupied by anyone. Why don't you want to turn your experience, knowledge, and skills into a business and make money? -- There are many people who are good electricians, good electronic engineers, good programmers, and good sound specialists. I could assemble a team from them. But if they are not passionate about pinball, they will not ultimately produce anything good. -- You have all of this at once! You could offer people three controller options based on a universal platform: - Entry-level. - Advanced level. - And top-level. Today, no one in the world offers this.

Thanks for the praise 😁

Bedankt!

Checkout the last video in the series. I go over the software there. I use VPX for this

Depends on where you're located I imagine

Happy to give you some nostalgia 😁 I'll do a video on restoring them somewhere down the road

What do you mean?

He means don’t update

They are the custom Pinscape replacements for the Lightmite boards. You can find more info about them in the Pinscape build guide

I started sanding those legs with the intention of polishing them to a shine, which is why at first I took a lot of time to brush and sand them all way more than is necessary for just painting over them. Also, I work on projects in my spare time, so most of this work was divided between several evenings or a couple of hours here and there, spanning multiple days

Yes you're right, this one slipped through, but it's indeed the ground side that gets connected for each color, while the common wire is the supplied voltage. I don't remember exactly what voltage they run on but it gets stepped down by the big resistors

No, you can also use a D1 mini with Arnoz' software. They're a lot cheaper

Thanks for following along!

I bought it on AliExpress. You can take a look at the parts spreadsheet in the description of the last video

No clue what the printer was, don't have access to it anymore, but it was a laserjet with those large ink cartridges

I just used plain old Arial. The font size varies for each button as I stretched all the text out to cover most of the button. The circles that go in those front buttons are about 21,6mm in diameter

I have no clue what either of those references are 😄

Thank you for the amazing compliment! And thank you for watching

It took my very long, but it doesn't necessarily have to be that way. I wanted everything to be perfect, down to the small details, so that takes a lot more time than building something that needs to be playable. Also, I built for 2 years, but after about half a year I could already play. After that I could add things to it to enhance the experience, which is also great fun. Buying a machine is also definitely a good option, but I can't speak on any of the vendors as I don't have experience with them

@@overtinker.projects Good points.Yes i guess you got the basics done and then enhanced. You should be very proud of where your machine has got too.Well done.

Yes it is, good that you mention it, I forgot to say something about it but that's definitely important

Dat vind ik ook! Al zeg ik het zelf 😁

@@overtinker.projects echt heel tof om 't te zien. Hoop dat mijn Vpin build enigszins in de buurt komt ooit 😀

Dat heb je zelf in handen natuurlijk. Veel succes alleszins!

@@overtinker.projects dankjewel, in je video's staan wat mooie ideeën die de kans op succes wel vergroten 😀

They are Siemens 3RH1140-1BB40, but they come in all kinds of models. I got them second hand on Ebay

Nee er komt hopelijk volgende week nog een laatste deel aan!

@@overtinker.projects Ok ziet echt gaaf uit bro. Ik wil ook één maken moet even kijken waar ik de kabinet kan vinden en de onderdelen. Geniet van je pinball.

Er zijn flatpack kits die je kan bestellen en dan zelf in elkaar kan steken om een cabinet te maken. Misschien een interessante piste

@@overtinker.projects kan je een link naar me sturen? Ga ik in de zomervakantie maken. Alvast bedankt

Bedankt!

I don't have any plans, but take a look at the Pinscape Build Guide. Everything you need to know is in there

Thanks! Good to know that my videos get picked up on Reddit as well :) I used a TPA3116D2 2.1 amplifier that supplies 2x 50W for the speakers in the speaker panel and 100W for the subwoofer. For SSF I started with 2 PAM8610 amplifiers that each supply 2x 10W for the exciters. I upgraded those amplifiers later on to 2 TPA3110D2 2.1 amplifiers who supply 2x 15W to the exciters and 30W to the subwoofer channel. The back subwoofer channel is connected to a Dayton Audio TT25 PUCK and the front subwoofer channel is connected to 2 Dayton Audio DAEX13CT coin exciters under the lockdown bar. Hope that helps :)

It's a bit hard to say. There's quite a lot to it. I already had all the footage of building the vpin, but I wrote scripts for each video so I could do a coherent voice over. Writing the script already took some time, then recording the voice over, editing out all the mistakes and making sure the tempo is good. Then, matching footage with the voice over and recording any missing B-roll and the intro amd outro. I actually don't know how much time I effectively spend on one video, but it takes me 2 to 4 weeks to get one done.

Thank you for all the praise! Comments like yours are very valuable to me. It did take a lot of work. 2 years of building and I've now been editing on and off for about a year. The final part will hopefully be done fairly soon

Thanks, that's so nice to hear. I'm still working on the final one, I hope to get it done soon. I'll give a lot more info in that video like the cost with a spreadsheet with all the parts, but I'll already spoil the fact that it cost me about €2000 in total

Er komt nog 1 filmpje van het bouwproces en dan is de serie af. Ik heb er zelf eigenlijk geen idee van hoeveel de kast verbruikt, goeie vraag!

@@overtinker.projects self heb ik ook pinball tafel kleine formaat gemaakt met mame en future pinball backglass ik moet nog overstappen naar virtual pinball Ik ben nu bezig met controller trill functie eruitgehaald en proberen op 1 manier in de pinball tafel verplaatsen een beetje hier daar 🥵🪛🔩🪓🔫

Ik heb nog nooit future pinball gespeeld, enkel Pinball FX, maar VPX is daarmee in vergelijking wel echt een stuk beter. Zeker met kasten van Vpin Workshop

Thanks! I didn't angle it, it sits straight. I never really have any issue with reflection on the playfield glass, but maybe that's due to the glass being more flat than 90s or modern pins since it's an EM cabinet

That's so nice to hear! Keep on making man 😁

That is definitely something I would like to do at some point! But I'd like to do some smaller and cheaper projects next 😄

You can start a lot smaller and simpler than this vpin to make it less daunting. I only have a 60Hz screen, so no 120Hz. I run it with a GTX 1070, which I feel like is a bit underpowered for the latest tables. I don't know exactly what CPU I used but I'm quite sure it's an I7

Leuk om te horen :) check zeker de Pinscape Build Guide eens

I have thought about this since I completed the build. It would be really nice, and I have one of those 7" screens laying around. But I feel like I can just look up the rules for the game instead if I really want to learn them

You are more than welcome!

Thanks for the compliment!

@@overtinker.projects you bet! Gave you a follow. I will be posting more v-pin vids when I get my new cabinet in. 😊

@@TheJonOsborne Curious to see what it will look like!

@@overtinker.projects it’s a prebuilt from XGC. I’ve had several previous home builds that were cool but this one is going to be epic. 😊

@@TheJonOsborne let me know when it arrives so I can check it out!

Awesome to hear this. Thank you!

Very keen eye! That is indeed the original playfield. It was gifted to me by the seller of the cabinet. Turns out he sold the cabinet empty because the game was broken beyond repair so he sold the parts separately. He was never able to sell the playfield because it's very damaged. It now has a nice spot in my shed :)

I love it too 😁 both types of lighting add a lot of immersion to thr gameplay

Thanks! It does seem easy when it's all combined into a video like this. Took me 2 years to build it though 😅

@@overtinker.projectsJust the wiring and knowing how all that works would bust my mind open. It's a thing of beauty, you deserve all the credit.

I definitely underestimated the time it takes to wire so many things. Luckily there's a really good guide for making vpins that I could work off of

I might touch on the software in the final video, but probably not too in depth. The regular leds are controlled by the Pinscape software, thr addressables are ran with Arnoz Tiny Tools if I'm not mistaken

Thank you! It's almost over though :)

Thanks for the kind words and noticing the details :)

Nice! I also love white water. Definitely want to own it some day

To my knowledge the bike is just fine 😁

That's a personal preference, but indeed when you do that you can read the instruction cards in game. I prefered having actual depth so it looks more realistic. I have the instruction cards linked to a button in popper so I can read them there

Nee, gewoon glas voor flipperkasten. Dat kostte mij maar €25 ipv €170 ofzo en eigenlijk nooit als storend ervaren
