    Quoted from DeathHimself:

    You can do that now on a PC, if you want to build something then build a usb connection box with flipper buttons to work on the PC. As many others have said said, save yourself the cash that you can use towards another purchase. Rules can be learned just using a PC.

    I did exactly this. I have an actual plunger, lockdown bar, real flipper buttons in a box with an LCD on the wall mounted vertically along with a smaller screen for the backbox. I got it about 80% working and gave up on it. I keep telling myself I'm going to get it 100% before I decide to totally give up on it. Tweaking and installing everything is so much work. If you find any pre built images or good tutorials let me know.
