Broke my backglass monitor around Christmas and just got around to fixing it. Been getting some random flickering going on with the main PF, I think one of my ports on the card or TV is bad not sure which. New cable made it work a bit better.

Going through all my tables this next week and doing a fresh install with baller

I got my machine from someone who bought one “from a builder”. Sadly when the software didn’t work right and the builder wouldn’t help, the guy basically gave it to me. Turns out the guy put a way underpowered PC, not enough ram or GPU, old versions of software and honestly not a great build in the end things were pretty cheaply done. If you have a basic understand of computers not bad to jump into with a basic build.

The guy paid around $4-5k I believe. I would be very wary of smaller builders and stick with the bigger name companies out there.

If you’re good on the software it’s not much harder than building a pc in the end. Maybe get a flat pack from one of the builders out there maybe and add the buttons etc yourself.

I built my first one a few years back from scratch and it was a lot easier than I expected. Sold it for hardware and parts when I got my full-size.

There was someone local to me selling an empty stern cabinet for fairly cheap but I think pickup only and some minor damage or something I would have gotten it myself but just a hair too far but would be awesome for a virtual pin. I think it just sold though can’t find it now.

The wiring is honestly way easier than I expected and as I said if you’ve ever built a pc you could do this and the community is filled with people that can help when you run into trouble. But every now and then you can find them come up for a decent price. My next project will be a 2 player mame system

Facebook has some of the better resources for VP I’ve found

Anyone remember off the top of their head how to turn on the ability to nudge in your vpcab? Using pinballX and cannot seem to find the setting.</blockquote>

In vpx there’s the nudge option if your controller has nudge that is. Also make sure it’s turned on the controller settings if necessary.

He's right. I built my first virtual pin because it was a cheaper option. Just bought my first real Stern earlier this year!

I have a virtual pin in central Florida I'm looking to trade for a DECENT MAME system or real pin if anyone is interested.
