    Quoted from Brtlkat:

    The dmd reflecting off the pf glass only works out with a couple tables. The dmd belongs on the backbox not the pf. The idea behind vp is to make the pinball look and play like the real thing. The vp2000 doesn't do that in my opinion, reflecting the dmd on the pf with all the games is not correct. But this is my 2 cents

    I have built a few full sized PinMAME cabs in the past and my last one uses a SWE1 P2K donor cab. I always wanted my PinMAME cab to stand out or be different from my real pins and the look and shape of this cab is perfect for my application. Most of my friends who come over don't even realize the DMD is a reflection and some even say how come they don't put the DMD in the same location on the real ones? If the DMD belongs on the backbox then what was JPOP thinking when he made CV?

    The DMD reflection works fine with any DMD table as it does not obstruct your view or take anything away from game play. If anything it makes it easier for you to enjoy some of the great animations without having to take your eyes off the ball during play. Here is a video I made when I was initially testing out where my reflection would be cast and sure enough I got it exactly where I wanted it on the first try

    For the games without DMD I either use an active backglass such as UVP or B2S but if I really have to I just reflect the alphanumeric displays where the DMD is. I've been in the MAME/PinMAME scene since '07 and seen many great projects and adopted other people's ideas in my own projects which I thought were great.

    I just recently sold off my P2K Pinmame project from 2012 to a friend of mine. I was pretty much done and pre-wired my cab for RGB flashers, shaker and contactors but the new owner didn't care for it and basically wanted to buy my Pinmame cab for a cheap as possible. I have all of these extra "new" parts if anyone is planning to build a Pinmame cab build. There is a 24V power supply used by the Siemens contactors and 12V is for other things like shaker motor, lighting, etc. I have full wiring diagrams on how to make all this work too if you need.

    Depending on your LEDWiz config file for each game these 8 Siemens contactors can be set to go off for flippers, slings, pop bumpers and knocker. There is also a brand new seals Microsoft Sidewinder joystick which I was planning to take apart and use for tilting since there is a gyro inside it.

    PM me if you are interested in any of these parts or want to take the entire lot. Thanks.

    Quoted from gregh43:

    I took some pics of my backglass. please give
    your input if these look about right. or need more

    It looks fine and you don't play the backglass (unless you are playing JP's Banzai Run)

    Quoted from gregh43:

    Thanks Borg for the Link.. I knew it was there. iam not a member on that site. are all those great tables MonsterBash Exclusives or do they share on the other sites? I read that GB is some work to install it. would be complicated for me haha.

    It took me 5 mins to download and get up and running. You will have to download Stern Pinball Arcade via steam beforehand because you need a few files from there to patch.

    Quoted from gregh43:

    MWong168 you mentioned you need to download the Stern pinball arcade off of Steam.do you need to pay the fee to download it? is there a link for GB where all the files are ready to go. where u dont have to download and configure differnt files to play it? Thanks

    You just need to download Stern Pinball Arcade via Steam. Once it is downloaded go to your steam installer folder and you should see a folder called Stern Pinball Arcade. Inside there will be the file SternGB.dll and the other required file is in the subfolder Resource called TGhostBustersStern.rez. You do not have to purchase the actual game and the trail version comes with these two files. Unfortunately I don't think anyone in the VP community is going to make these two files readily available in a nice package but if you read the install instructions it will take you no more than a few minutes to get GBLE on VPX up and running. They just did another update to the table this morning and added some new options you can enable/disable, tweaked the ball physics a bit and few other things.
