(You guys can't tell how dim and faded it was looking by my pics or videos) The screen quality and colours will look much nicer. New bezel will be a tad bit shorter on the 4th displayįuture Pinball tables all have to be re-edited to fit the new bezel's 4th display area. I have to re-do all my media to fit the new bezel. I have to make a new bezel to fit this new screen. Old one was a 5:4 monitor with no vesa mount at all, new one is a 16:9 TV.

I have to figure out how to mount this new screen. However, that means I have to replace it with a new monitor / TV. I can't complain, it was 10 years old after all. My center " DMD" / Marquee / extra display" monitor has died on me.

The software will scale the effects as best as it can.Įdited by TerryRed, 29 July 2016 - 11:28 PM. Roar, if you have the room, you can just put two single side strips and one or two strips for the back matrix on your flasher bar. If I ever get time, I'll try to compile some info. I got it up and running myself no problem, but some of the nicer effects and animations, shapes, etc on some of the tables were custom made and had to be obtained by others who did the hard part. Its just a matter of understanding how to setup DOF for addressable LEDs, and also understanding how the whole thing works if you want to change anything. The led strips and matrix is easy to create. man there is so much info to sort through. It's not cheap, and I want to be sure I'm not changing anything or having to move to another house before I do that.Īs for a step-by-step. Then eventually one day I might put in a shaker, maybe a gear motor, and glass to finish it off. Now that this is working, I only have to make a simple topper (nothing fancy) for the beacon and strobes. If its not the software, its the hardware. 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).Now where is the step-by-step guide you were going to writeĪdd another thing to the list. 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.

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.
