Quoted from karmalord:Pinballbulbs had some nice tabletop examples at the NW Pinball Arcade show this past weekend. They're portable and they are better than playing on your PS3/Ps4 as you don't have the same lag that haunts Pinball Arcade, and definitely feels more like pinball machine. They are very fun and can hold hundreds of games and also have a joystick for various video games outside of pinball.
Problem is the price tag is still pretty steep at $2499.00.
Hey, thanks.
These types of projects are definitely really fun and can be built fairly easily on a budget for sure. Ours runs all of the vertical mame roms, pinball fx2 pre installed and purchased, pinball arcade, ikaruga and procyon, and visual pinball, analog nudge, and we wrote all our own software for a super easy to use front end too so works great for even the novice. It has quite the beefy computer and graphics card. We warranty ours and made it for production so that made it quite a bit more expensive.
But with some used computer parts and a cheap used cap you can definitely whip up something fun that works great pretty much in a week or so or longer depending on your hobby alloted time etc.
