Quoted from NextoPin:

HA, I thought so! I saw that once and thought it looked like an aztec.
Do you have it programmed to play aztec? Is the source available?

I do not. Might be something fun to do at some point.

Quoted from blue95:

Homepin are developing an add-on module especially for this.

I just sent homepin an email, sounds like he built a few prototypes, but they were too expensive to produce.

This will be just a wacky retheme but I too would like to see a Slayer pin be made .

I would love to see Metallica converted to Demon Knight. It was a movie in the TFTC franchise. I always felt Metallica was the updated version of TFTC made today by Borg. I want to like Metallica but can't get the pin going like my TFTC. Always thought the Cryptkeeper could be in the electric chair " like the Halloween toy I have that shakes and lights up" and the grave could be entrance to his lair like show intro.

#118 9 years ago

not exactly a re-theme, but a great customization

ebay.com link: KISS Pinball CUSTOM RESTO MOD

I like it, did someone here do this?

#119 9 years ago
Quoted from Betelgeuse:

This was part 2 of my instructional vid for Ghostbusters. Jump to 2:20 if you just want to see gameplay

There are quite a few good ones, but this one is my favorite.

Bump! It's been over a month, lets see where people are at and what new projects are underway!

#122 9 years ago

I plan to start on my SG2 this weekend. If I actually finish it some day, I plan to start a custom pin.

#123 9 years ago

I'm thinking of picking up a Met Pre again and re theme it to a Slayer. Eliminate all call outs change cab decals and back glass, all the songs Slayer.

#124 9 years ago

Tons of updates on my Goonies pin.

I changed up the side art:

Prepped the playfield:

PF art printed and I now have it fully applied and assembled. I'm holding full photos back a bit on that though, ha!

A whole bunch more is done too. I'm getting it finished up and ready to play at next week's Free Play Florida show here in Orlando.

Quoted from PinBiohazard:

Hi guys, just posting to see if there is any updates to machines featured in this forum?
also an update on mine, I decided to ditch the theme that I was going to do and go with something more focused on one person so that will be announced at a later date
another question, what is the best way to add sound onto an EM machine

thats a Q I'd thought about briefly.. Ebay has little voice-sound recording greeting card modules pretty darn cheap, it might be fairly simple to add as many as you want (supplying them power, adding micro leaf switches behind switches) and feeding their outputs to a small amp (TDA7297 are dirt cheep) and pair of speakers. it'd be external of the game's own electrics, shouldnt hurt anything if done correctly. note about TDA7297: sounds nicer to me after swapping in a pair of 2.2uF as input capacitors and 3300uF supply-buffer cap, decent bass from a $3.00 amp?!
20 bucks in parts and some time spent might make for all kinds of crazy on an EM or solid state machine if someone got creative with the soundbytes.

Nope, easier to use this:

#129 9 years ago

Yep, and I have an extra brand new one if anyone is interested. Can save you a few bucks from the linked price!

#130 9 years ago
Quoted from Nelly:

It appears you are the only place to get one as they are out of stock and backordered. I was thinking about putting one in my Swinger EM and playing some big band music when you hit the moving target.

Anyone know if these can play more than one sound at a time, can I have music playing and still have sound effects without stopping the music?

#131 9 years ago

Unfortunately, they can not play more than 1 file at a time. If you wanted a background track and sounds with targets you would need to use 2 of them.

#132 9 years ago

There is also a .wav trigger now that seems to be replacing the mp3 trigger. I think I read that you can play multiple tracks at the same time on the new one.

Would it be this one?

#134 9 years ago

Now that's what I'm talkin about! Thank you sir! Just put it on my Xmas list, hopefully Mrs. Claus will get me one this year.

#135 9 years ago

I have used the WAV Trigger before and it is awesome. It supports polyphony as well as some other really cool features.

I heard through the grapevine that you won a few awards with it

I did, thanks! I didn't realize there were going to be awards at the Free Play Florida show, so that was a pleasant surprise.

- Best Homebrew
- Cool New Title
- Best of Show

Pretty rad. They gave me a new pinball cart for winning Best of Show. Just what I needed.

Here is a question to you all, if you were to customize a pinball machine into a video game theme what would you choose?

#144 9 years ago
Quoted from PinBiohazard:

Legend of Zelda

#145 9 years ago

would you make it like a 25th anniversary edition

#146 9 years ago

After looking at your Goonies machine, I was chatting with my buddy about re theaming my bally mystic into something else. Legend of Zelda is the best theme I've heard. The original nes game was my favorite as a kid.

#147 9 years ago

I'm thinking of re-theming my Touchdown into a Destiny

Castlevania! And not one of those goofy newer ones where you play as a vampire - I'm talkin' Belmonts, whips and Hammer horror monsters!
