Evening chaps
I'm in a rare spot where I now have space for a few pins and have decided to part with my pride and joy. I took the plunge to build a virtual cab purely because I was sick and getting bored of swapping out cabs plus wanting to experience other games with ltd space/budget. We all know emulation its not the same but you can still make it a fun experience with force feedback and lights/flashers etc. All of the games use the original ROMs so you can practice the rule sets etc (I found this very useful when entering the pin comp at the slam this year).
The cab took me 6 months to build and in excess of 3k of new parts. No expense was spared along the way and what I have ended up with is I think a very very nice virtual pin cabinet.
The virtual machine is built into an original Medieval Madness cabinet which I gutted and skipped the play field and parts (they were dirty and beyond cleaning)*.
The hardware is top end and allows for the most demanding tables:
40" Samsung SMART 3D LED TV for the main play field.
A real plasma DMD (12v version and USB2DMD controller)
10 X contactors for ROM controlled force feedback.
5 X RGB LEDS
2 x Strobes
Pioneer speakers and upgraded sub with a separate amp.
Intel Core i5, 8gig ram, SSD HD, AMD HD 7870 graphics
Various encoders, controller boards.
Beautiful wiring.
Nudge support.
Tons more.
If there is interest I have loads to write up and will take pictures and video etc.
Looking for offers around 4k or would consider deal on a nice pin/pins depending on game titles.
Anyone want to see/know more?
Its not the usual rubbish you see for sale I promise. I'd like point out that I will not be without a virtual pin in the future as I have nearly enough parts to build another one when time allows.
