    What are the steps? Do I design it up in something like Visual Pinball first or do I jump into hardware first? Is it best to start with a retheme project?

    Well... I installed both Future Pinball and Visual Pinball but have not gotten very fast with those. I'm comfortable with pretty much anything. Do some crude VB programming at work, torn down several games now... Just not sure the best place to start.

    Quoted from Mbecker:

    Get on the slack channels for sure. Pindev and fast.
    How you go about it will depend on how you like to design things. There are guys that like to get the layout done in software.. vis Pinball or CAD if you’re good with that like swinks and some guys prefer to work it out on paper then go straight to a rough white wood. Totally up to your own style.

    After poking around in Visual Pinball, I'm leaning toward the paper to white wood approach. That seems more inline with my style anyway.
