Hah! That is awesome!

Pretty cool... Love to see the finished product. Plan on putting some legs on it or is it just going to be a table top edition?

I like how you can play it on the ceiling, that's the coolest part.

If I could put pins in the ceiling, I could double my collection.

From what I can tell upside down, it looks really cool. I always complain about playing on the iPad because I can't hold it right and flip halfway decent, so this probably would be much easier. Good job!

You could hack one of these controllers, put it in your wood one.

I was just looking at it again on Amazon because I didn't think it was compatible with Pinball Arcade. The price is way down though, so maybe worth it for 5 tables.

The icade works with pinball arcade? That could be sweet. The tough part might be working in a plunger. But I guess you could rig up something on a spring that hits a button inside the cabinet to look real.

I'm thinking this couldbe a sweet project.... I might try to make one too.

Great idea. Thanks for the inspiration

I have the duo games pinball accessory....I like it a lot. I did wait until the price drastically dropped on amazon....no way I was paying $60 for a piece of plastic that didn't work with all the pinball apps. Duo's line of HD pinball games are pretty solid...and fun. Yeah it's not PAs real tables but enjoyable none the less.

I like your set up policano....the only thing it needs are flipper buttons. This is the one thing that all these iPad pinball apps are missing....tapping on a glass screen just doesn't do it for me though I still play them all the time.

Can you check the icade for me? I'm wondering if one of the buttons works for games that have magna save extra buttons, or are they on the screen still?

Avoid the duo, get an iCade Core for around $30 bucks and wire it to your switches. Somewhere on the pinballarcadefans forum is a thread on building and wiring up one of these.

Also, I believe you can set your buttons to work as specials how you want them for games like BK.

I just realized the icade 8 bitty also works as a controller for pinball arcade. I played a game of bk and couldn't get the buttons to control the magnet saves. I still had to touch the screen for them, hopefully the icade core has better button mapping, or maybe this is a feature that needs to be added to the game.

I'd love to be able to build a cabinet with a 24" tv as a playfield and the iPad as a DMD and backglass. But that's just a pipe dream for now

The icade also works with the Zaccaria app

Would love to see some of these at the Pinball BBQ next year. Nice work!

Amazing

Wow, I didn't realize the potential for making a pincab with iCade components. This guy has a lockdown bar, nudge buttons, and a shooter button. Check out the thread below.

Looking pretty sweet.....You guys gonna make any cabs that will fit regular iPad models?!

Please keep us posted on your progress with this thing. It looks fantastic and the possibilities are practically endless.

Great work so far!

Awesome project Policano!

Can you guys please clarify if the iCade works with the Pinball Arcade app? And has anyone hacked the Duo to work?

Wow! That is a pretty deadly little cabinet, I'd love one.

On pa forum more people ate building one for ipad, i gonne do it too. But i am waiting for the ios 7 controller support. Then look at the options.

For now i play with a steelfree gamepad.

looks great, nice work.

These were $60 last year. It's a steal now for $10!

Looks really cool, I started making one for my iPad I while back, I didn't go as far as adding buttons. The flipper and nudge buttons are pretty far back, is that because of wiring for the start button?

With the buttons that far back aren't your hands partially leaking over the edge blocking the screen?

I had no idea that you were making the phones ones to sell. I've got an iPhone 5 and I think it needs one of these.

Pretty cool but I like 47" hi def screens =)

I'm very excited to be working on these. As Tony stated we will be working on the full sized iPad tonight and we hope/expect to have photos tonight at the very earliest.
