F Word!! That is sick!! Me want!!

Bravo. This is absolutely amazing. JM was on my wish list. F that, Matrix is on my want list. This is un f'ng believable!

I had no programming skills worth mentioning when I started working on the Demolition Man on Steriods. I had help from a friend who had more experience who learned me some basics (I have a background in music programming though). After that it was mostly spending about 800+ hours to finish DMoS and got a level of awareness of the consequences a rule does in respect of what you want it to do and what side effects it may or may not cause.

As the Matrix also took me again more than 800 hours, I build om my experience from the DMoS and took it to the next level with a different approach of where to start and what to do first. Where the DMoS had about 15k/20k of lines of programming the Matrix has more than 30k. The DMD with all the changing/scrolling score digits took quite some rule lines, also with the upper and lower progress bars in combination with a single or multiplayer mode. In case of the Matrix is was more the depth of the effects and the depth of the rules in combination with a lot of testing and timing that took the most of my time, instead of understanding why a lamp or rule wasn't triggered because of a faulty/uncomplete programming line.

Don't underestimate the time it takes to get all the sound/voice samples out of the movie and mastering them to the appropiate levels. Same goes for editing and finding the music and programming the lamp/flasher effects, timing it all together to something neat that also matches to your expectation.

All it takes to fire up your machine on PROC is the PROC board replacing the MPU and a decent dedicated computer. The less you got on your computer regarding internet/antivirus and tons of programs and history, the less demanding the computer specs need to be. I had the Matrix running on a clean installed duo-core 2.0ghz with 2gb of memory during the Dutch Pinball Open and the Belgium Pinball Open. I programmed it on a duo-core 3.0ghz with 8gb of memory. All sounds in WAV format, but AIFF does the job as well (maybe even better regarding to looping). It works on Windows XP tp Windows7. No experience with Win8.

nice job! it's projects like these that really make me appreciate what can be done in this little hobby of ours

Just snagged me a JM. A Matrix retheme kit would be #$#@$ amazing

Outstanding!!!

......

Very cool thanks for sharing this with us. I hope that there may be kits made available in the future I know more then a few pinheads would be interested on getting their hands on it.

I was one of the lucky guys who played this machine on the Dutch Pinball Open last year! This machine playes f***ing great. Dennis really thought out the modes to match the movie. It playes really fast and due to the hand which is controlled automatic instead of by hand the pin is 10 times faster than the JM software makes it. I allready told Dennis I would like to have one as well..... Think Dennis en Gerard can start a new pinball factory

Wish I new if there where plans to make some sort of kit? I have the option of getting one soon or another Pin. hmmmm

I want one!

Wow, I really want one of these right next to my Matrix Pachinko machine!

Absolutely amazing. Great job, man!

That is wicked awesome! If you ever want to sell it, call me!

I think the art package and light show are very top notch and professional.
I think the background music could use a little more frequent change up.
I also think that connecting animations to a game mode would be crazy good.

I am unsure the work it would take to do either just stating where I think it can improve.

Overall amazingly cool project. Turned out very well.

I bought a Jm just incase I need it to convert to the matrix

The raining numbers for the score was a neat idea! Awesome job!

The more the merrier!

I think you guys need a production line for this one! I have not purchased a NIB pin since LOTR but I can tell you right now that I would put a deposit down on one of these tomorrow.

I wish I lived closer.

I posted on your FB but I suppose maybe you'll look here sooner. Once you have this toy in game you should implement a EMP Pulse in one of the game modes. Possibly have the LEDs pulse on the model, then have the play field lights go out in a concentric pattern like in the film (when the pulse kills the sentinels). This could be the ending of a multiball or something too. Just a thought. Great work on this, I wish I could play it at the Pinball Showdown.

Wow!

JM is my currently the tops on my favourite pinball game.

I need to watch the matrix again!!!

I heard people thought the matrix played better than WOZ nice I'm very excited and the toy looks good!! More toys?!?!

Man, if there was ever a machine that was screaming out for the DMD to be swapped for a green one ...

What amazing animation!

I know I am way late on this one, but that machine is sick and worthy of serious praise! Well done. Would love to play and would be proud to own. People like you and those that helped only make the pinball disease worsen - well done all!

Is this a one off or is this amazing pinball going into production

This is fantastic. True fans would recognize that the music is from the Animatrix...

Very very well done, I would love to have one myself.

Simply Amazing!!!!!!
Goed werk hoor

Amazing work! I love JM but not the theme, making it into The Matrix is a perfect marriage. Thats a game I would want to own. Lets convert them all!

Agree. I have a JM in good shape and like it but seeing Reeves face plastered all over it stinks. But to have the pin converted into that ? WOW ! Sign me up !!!!

This would be a sick kit.

I'll put money upfront to get this pin into production!!!!! Let's do this!!!

<Watches latest videos>

You know (pinball) kung-fu.
Show me more.

that is amazing, I would love to have this game, I loved the Trilogy!!!

I'm in love.....

Haha that is very cool!!!

man i want this game!!! This is the best home made pinball i have ever seen, I loved the Evil Dead/Army of darkness one, but this is simply incredible, and the theme is so good!!!
