is it actual pinball or video pinball??


both really.. it\'s called pinmame.. people took the pinball machines you play in the arcade, and fully emulated them to play on the computer. you can\'t see it in the pic, but under the top of the gameboard on the sides, that\'s where i put the pinball flippers. i\'m going to be adding a plunger at some point as well, to make it more realistic.

here\'s an example of a machine in pinmame:

Congrats on the progress. Do you have Dragon\'s Lair?


absolutely..

daphne is the name of the emulator that runs all the laserdisc games (DL, DL2, Space Ace, etc)..

you should activate the coin slot and call it \'Dave\'s piggy bank". Make some $$ off people when they play it.

unless of course, that it has monkey ball, then it should always be free. ;)

update...


for those of you who might think this is a \'fun\' project, here\'s what i spent my night doing...

went from this:



to this:



wiring the buttons/joysticks - NOT FUN!! pain in the balls, actually.. spent about 5 hours tonight cutting, stripping, and crimping close to 60 wires, and that\'s only half of it! now i\'ve gotta run a single wire to every single one of those little fuckers for the ground.. NOT FUN!!

this is definitely the worst part.. definitely not the hardest part, but by far the most tedious.. on the bright side though, it *should* be smooth sailing after this i\'m done with the wiring.. *fingers crossed*

I know a dude that use to build shit like this in high school, he went on to school to be an engineer.  

Good luck with everything dave.
