I’ve been into virtual pinball since about a year and a half and I am truly amazed by the simulations. I went the way of building my own cab which was a lot of fun. I am continually amazed by the work of the folks driving the developments of the software and the folks creating the games. I have started creating my own game - with the layout I always wanted and nobody ever built - and this is a real plus of virtual pinball - making your own game.
Quoted from gdonovan:Question from guys building your own and it may sound odd.
I have a "Universal Bally/Stern" pinball cabinet with physical playfields and backglasses and I wish to replace the backglass area with a monitor. By replacing the backglass with a monitor I can lock the displays in one spot and change game BG art with ease and dispense with the adjustable GI lighting.
The score displays will be moved so the player one and two will be at the very top and the player three, four and ball count will be at the very bottom with the monitor in between.
What are you using for a display monitor? My total area to work with is 28" wide, 25" tall. Anything between 720p to 4k is fine.
The only other wrinkle is it would be nice if the monitor will display a file when powered up, though I'm not adverse to utilizing a small media player of some sort for the job.
Thanks for the input!
maybe it‘s just me, but I don‘t understand what you are asking. If you have a monitor in the backbox, why are you thinking about location of displays? You only need to decide if you want 1 or 2 monitors in the backbox.
