I've always been curious about virtual pinball. It's kinda fun on the PC or a phone. It seems like once people go through the trouble of building the full cabs they either never finish them or sell them quickly. I decided to go half way. I had a spare 32" LCD and a nice spot behind the bar.
This is still a work in progress but the idea is to have this be a multi use set up. I will have the pinball controller with the TV in portrait, and rotate the monitor and use Xbox 360 controllers for console emulation and Steam games. I still need to find a way to mount my swivel stand, space is limited. Right now I'm manually rotating it, which sounds and looks awful, but only takes a second.
The controller needs a couple tweaks but other than nudge, it's fully working. It's the Virtuapin plunger kit and spare parts I had lying around.
Currently Pinball FX 2 and Pinball Arcade are working nicely. I haven't messed with Virtual Pinball or PinMame yet. In the past I've had zero success and 100% frustration with those. If anyone can point me to a good set up guide, or something better I'm all ears.
