    Hello, this seems the right subforum for a VP announcement. Our upcoming MiniPin Kickstarter. Nudging, real analog plunger, optional tactile feedback, goldleaf buttons with fast response, stainless steel side rails and lockbar. Works with ALL iPad pinball apps.

    The artwork is just an example on a prototype to get an idea. With attack from mars being a pinball game on the iPad from Zen pinball it simply looked nice as an example. The actual artwork will be a new design.

    Hi everybody, just want to show you what I have been working on for quite some time now. A mini digital pinball machine. It uses an Ipad, has analog plunger and nudging, low latency flipper response and works with ALL Ipad pinball apps (Zen, Willams, Pinball Arcade Apple Arcade etc.) And I have a surprise as well I will talk about later. Besides developing I play on it every day myself and am really very happy with the results. I plan on doing a Kickstarter.
    I really like pinball like all of you and own several tables. I have a passion for digital pinball as well. But unfortunately not everybody has space to put a large cabinet and has the money to buy one. I want to change that. If everything works out like I hope a software house like Zen Studios will listen to us more and improve their tables etc. The digital pinball community will benefit.
    The Ipad has a great, sharp glossy screen and constant smooth gameplay. No complicated settings or long bootup time. Perfect for pinball. But holding an Ipad and tapping a screen is not that much fun. After a while I noticed I simply missed the feeling and didn't play the apps that much anymore. A shame because I do like the actual apps and tables. So I started to really look into the problem and decided to start my project. Inside are custom electronics and software. If you're not playing you can simply slide your Ipad out again. The picture is a photo of an actual prototype I took a few days ago playing Big Shot on pinball Arcade. The small lockbar is a bit dented...
    There is still work to be done and I can make changes. Let me know what you think and would like in a small cabinet like this or have ideas. I will upload more information and gameplay videos the coming weeks. Thanks!

    Some more info about the small virtual pinball machine I have developed and still work on. For those of us who have less room And not willing to pay quite a lot for a regular cabinet these days. Or maybe a partner who thinks differently about that VPIN cabinet in the dining room. Not a replacement for a full sized cab but real fun to play on. And the glossy highres screen of an iPad look really really nice. If they only made them in 40 inch...
    I will be doing a Kickstarter crowdfunding coming spring. Let me know what you think so I can make it even better! I will do update post with new artwork and info.
