After have a couple of frankenstien home brew pinball machines under my belt, I am trying to make my mind up on what I feel is the route for a home builder with little experience of building the back glass system for a home brew machines.

Thus far I have built three examples of a hybread pinball machine.

Example 1:
The pinball machines backglass is a TV screen with a full screen emulation of a traditional backglass. It will show the 4 players 7 or 14 Segment score displays, credits, balls, and emulation led bulb and general illuminations. The screen receives it direction from a raspberry pi or small PC that gets direction from a PROC, FAST, OPP, or arduino controller.

Example 2:
The back glass is a traditional wood board with traditional 80's era 4 player display's [7 Segment or 14 Segment] credits, balls and led lamps and GI's.
The backglass connects to PROC, FAST, OPP, or arduino controller.

Example 3:
The backglass is a translite image with a DMD display, The DMD is controlled by a teensy 3.5 with serial connection to arduino controller.

For the traditionalist I find that example 2 gives the look and feel of an original pinball machine.
Example 2 works for the DMD fans and example 1 works for those who have a virtual pinball machine in their stable of pinball machines.

My question, which of the three options would you choose (especially if you were building a home brew machines ) ?
