I know I am going to get comments about it being ‘not a real pinball’ but it also gives you the chance on trying out a lot of games before you buy them. Of course it is emulation and only in 2D. The machine has nudge sensors so it reacts the same way to a real game. Also gives you chance to play games you may not ever own like Big Bang Bar.
This is my heavily upgraded ‘Global VR’ Ultrapin. The only parts that are original are a couple of buttons, the coin door, legs, backbox and backbox screen.
I got this from John B on here, and have spent a fortune on upgraded parts - plus put in MANY MANY HOURS. You can do this yourself if you could be bothered
The specs are:
Quad core 3.6ghz Intel processor
12GB DDR3 RAM
Two ATX power supplies
Upgraded sub speaker
2.1 channel amplifier
Pinscape analog plunger kit that also runs ‘tilt’ and nudging
Real pinball machine buttons
32 inch HDMI HD screen (1080p)
19 inch DVI screen for backglasses/dmd
Fans have been upgraded to quieter units
Nvidia 4GB GTX960 graphic card
240GB Solid state hard drive
The games included in the table are mainly DMD style games. I have put in photos of it running older games. They run at over 200fps which means they do not have video stutter. The original Ultrapins were much lower resolution and nowhere near the detail. Plus it ran on VP8. we are on VP10 now.
Here are some photos of the game:

It runs WINDOWS 10 (fully licensed) along with the visual pinball software.
Games are freely downloadable from various websites for no charge. I will include all links and I will also give you full instructions on how to install these.
Basically MOST games up to 2013 are currently emulated on the Stern platform, as well as most of the Bally, Williams, Data East and Gottlieb tables from all era.
Pinballs installed include: Metallica LE, Star Trek (Stern) L.E, Star Trek the Next Generation, Cactus Canyon, Cactus Canyon continued (P ROC version), Dr Who, Cirqus Voltaire, Monster bash, Family Guy, Attack From Mars, The Addams Family, Tommy, Twilight Zone, Avatar, Spider Man (Stern), Bat Man (data east), Whoa Nellie, Mustang, Kiss (Bally), Avengers, X-Men, AC/DC premium, AC/DC pro, Transformers, Tron, Scared Stiff, Elvira, Elvis, Theatre of Magic, Indiana Jones (Stern), Indiana Jones (Williams), White Water, Tales of the Arabian Nights, Monster Bash, Dracula, Funhouse, Red and Teds Roadshow, Fish Tales, Pinbot, Lord of the Rings, Ripleys, Guns n Roses, Getaway, The Simpsons, Corvette, Congo, Judge Dredd, Junk Yard, Terminator 2, Terminator 3, Big Bang Bar….. plus MORE.
At the moment newer sterns (after Wrestlemania), Pinball 2000 tables, Heighway Pinball and Jersey Jack tables are not emulated – but may be in the future.
You will probably need a couple of hours with me to instruct you on how to load tables – but to use it as it is – it is very easy to use. The system boots straight into a GUI that is used to select tables.
The DMD/displays are emulated but due to clever software now the tables have full coloured displays (similar to the idea of a colordmd). They really look the part.
Sound upgrades are also loaded on some games with the Pinsound.dlll file.
The buttons on the machine do the following functions:
START BUTTON
LAUNCH BALL
EXIT TABLE
FIRE BUTTON
COIN INSERT
BUY IN BUTTON
TWO FLIPPER BUTTONS
TWO OTHER SELECT BUTTONS (Magna save etc)
On the front door you will see coin inlets. THESE ARE NOT ACTIVE.
NO COIN MECHANISM IS INCLUDED. IT WILL TAKE UPDATES TO THE ELECTRONICS TO MAKE THIS GAME COIN OPERATED BUT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS.
I WOULD SAY IT IS FOR HOME USE ONLY.
This will be on ebay for £2000 however I would trade a ‘real’ pinball for it. Even if it require some work. I have made several of these games so I am at the end of the phone or email if you need help.
I would also install your favourite games if you send me a list (subject to availability).
