Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:It’s just the TikTok text-to-voice speaking. It’s very robotic but popular on that app for whatever reason. Sometimes you guys show your age!
Pro-tip for Reels/shorts/TikTok: if you hear that awful text-to-speech audio, you know it’s probably something really stupid. Usually like “oh my gosh, I just found out I won the lottery! All they need is my Social Security Number and Bank Account!”
can confirm, they use those same videos on FB reels etc and those are the stupidest videos.....
PA is gonna start selling their board set

Description
COMING SOON:Pinball Adventures presents a robust and sophisticated hardware platform for modern pinball needs, and we call it the PinBoard. Rather than being geared towards resurrecting beloved games of the past, the PinBoard is focused on current technology and requirements.
While modular, the PinBoard isn’t highly distributed, like some other recent introductions to the pinball hardware arena. The Mainboard, the core of the system, can be fitted with a variety of daughter boards, simply called Cards. Examples include Cards that provide: high-voltage drivers, low-voltage drivers, display controllers, extended switch connectivity, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The PinBoard system is built around two key concepts: feedback, and smarts. By default, all drivers and switches come with LED feedback for testing, configuration, and troubleshooting. We have feedback on many other aspects as well, like fuse status, power rail status, and more. A touch screen on the Mainboard allows you to directly control and test many features without plugging any external device in.
For smarts, the PinBoard has features like automatically isolating a failed coil, detecting unusual current activity on the various power rails, and other intelligent pre-emptive protections, which are designed to help game customizers, game creators, and game customers too: the technical support process is made easier and less frustrating with these features. Open the head, and use the touchscreen to quickly read out a human-language error condition, or to test or configure the game.
A typical PinBoard configuration can support 48 drivers at 48V, 48 drivers at a mix of 5V and 12V, 64 direct switches, and 128 matrix switches. By employing fewer Cards, costs can be reduced as suits a particular machine. Those are the onboard switch capabilities of the Mainboard itself, and those driver counts are achieved with 6 high-voltage driver Cards, and 6 low-voltage driver Cards.
so build status has been this way for months........where are these?!

What I've seen of the backbox for Pinball Adventure and The Mafia appear pretty similar. A custom controller interfaced with a raspberry pi.
I think so. Pi's hate power on/off without a graceful shutdown so I hope they do something to smooth that out.
Quoted from TreyBo69:This game will be nuts!

hmmm not sure that will be fun to shoot at though.....
