    That black on black metal theme looks amazing, do you also make them with that backside hole for fitting a jambox? (I actually have one that I'm not using).

    Anyways, I'm a diehard pinball fan and would love to get my hands on one of these
    I've sent you a pm sotie..

    Which iPad have you got Brian?
    I know that iPad 3 was the first that got a bluetooth 4.0 upgrade..

    iOS 7 is a bit more taxing on the cpu, so iPad 2 users might notice slight delays from time to time when playing.
    But that's what they always do though, not just Apple. They add features to make the new systems more taxing on old units so that people want to upgrade. Not really a bad thing in my book though, means I can ignore older systems faster when developing

    Sotie, you're a genius!
    Im extremely happy with the cabinet, absolutely top notch stuff this!
    So, how do I go about adding you guys to pinball arcade?

    Quoted from sotie:

    Thanks. I'm very happy you like it! Glad it made the overseas trip without shipping issues too.
    I'm not sure what you mean about "adding you guys to The Pinball Arcade"?

    I mean adding you as friends on the iPad app, you can compare scores on each table with friends (if you've logged in in the app).
    I think you add me through game center, my account there is: [email protected]

    Thought I'd just make a small mention that it's very much possible to play Zen Pinball with this pinball cabinet

    All you need is a jailbroken iPad and the Blutrol app from Cydia.
    Blutrol basically maps the buttons to simulate on screen presses. No lag and it works great!

    Let me know if you want me to upload how I've set it up in Blutrol

    Theres tons of info about it, just google it.
    Basically though, never update after you've jailbroken your device. You should restore your device in that case from iTunes, this removes jailbreak. Also, know what you're installing. It makes sense for me to jailbreak since I also use the iCade arcade cabinet and can now install emulators for arcade games.

    This is what the page I visit say about it (translated from swedish):

    What are the risks with jailbreak?

    There is always risk in having their iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Apple TV jailbroken because it opens the file system. The risk of any physical damage to your unit because of the jailbreak is very small. However, one should be aware of what to do with their jailbreak, since many of the apps available on Cydia are not approved by Apple and can really contain anything. At worst, someone can access your information on your device.

    However, it is always possible to restore the device and get rid of everything related to the jailbreak. Worth pointing out is that the jailbreak removes any warranty from Apple and the operator temporarily. But the jailbreak is reversible, however, regaining the warranty anytime - as long as it is possible to boot the machine.

    Hi Sotie!
    Just wanted to thank you once again for the lovely pinball cabinet you made for me, many people have been very impressed by it and wondered where to buy.
    I still play on it from time to time and besides being great fun to use, it also looks great in my mancave next to my modified arcade cabinet with pac man statue + ghost lamp in the center
