Virtual pin options in the UK

I sent as 300 DPI Tiffs in both RGB and CMYK. Quality is good but I think they either printed the front in the wrong format or their printer was out of ink cause the front was missing all reds. They are sorting tho and full took responsibility for their cock up, sods law I had the issue with the fire button anyway as well. I think the money it'll cost them to have it sent back to them and sent back out again they won't want this issue to happen again cause changing the decals is a big faff cause everything is glued on.

We went for a custom Creature machine as its my wife's favourite. I still have the top part so you can see the printing came out pretty well everywhere else. Blacks are a bit blue but is a good level of detail.

Couple of cheap upgrades I can recommend, rubber feet for the legs (you'll need to buy something else like a 20p rubber nut to get the order over a tenner):

And I'm going to replace my plug with a switched one; when you turn the machine off the LEDs stay on until you unplug it so this solves that problem if like in my setup you can't switch it off at the wall cause it's on an extension with some other electronics. https://amzn.eu/d/3i0VdNd

That's dope. I also noticed they've just started offering a CTBL artwork as one of their options (no example image though). Wondering if that's yours.

Yeah I'm pleased with it in the end. I will say to get the most out of it you should expect to learn a bit about how the software works. Get yourself a wireless keyboard with a trackpad and a wifi dongle, also helps if you get a usb extension wire that you can run through the grill at the back. I went through and favourited everything I cared about, then checked around and updated every table that required it. I only ever really run the favourites list now A lot of the tables they supplied have more recent versions available now. A few tables I found I had to change the POV too, such as Cirqus Voltaie because of the Ring Master being too top down. Once I updated in pinup popper you only really need a wheel image and a full DMD for any new games you install. Then when I'm actually running the system I record the playfield, backglass, and DMD so they look nice when scrolling through. Oh, I also stuck some small rubber pads (the kind you put on the bottom of chair legs) where my solenoids contacted as they were a bit clicky and this makes them more thuddy.

Still got a bit to learn but I'm getting there. You don't have to do all this but learning how to keep things updated is only gonna improve your enjoyment.

So I've just bought a 2nd hand RecRoomWorld Ultra VP 7.5. Does anyone have any tips for moving it, its a heavy large beast. Do you think you could move it in an SUV or would you rent a man and van? Anything I should check for on pickup, it's stated to be in effectively brand new condition and still has lots of warranty left.

Would be the same tips as for an actual Pinball machine, a man with van would be fine. I think have a look on the main forum as there are various suggestions for how to move pinball machines and I think I saw someone offers a service. Mine isn't full sized and I certainly couldn't move it myself.
In terms of what to check for, I'd say its just a case of turning it on and playing through a few tables and seeing if it seems to be working the way it should be. From having mine from Pinballia for a few weeks now, virtual pinball is a hobby that requires a lot of tweaking. I've now around 160 tables working very well but it took me a lot of time downloading latest updated, learning the software and tweaking things like POV and sound settings. So what I'm saying is some tables may play better than others when you first get it but you can work on improving things for most of them.

I have had to update all my software to latest versions in order to run some tables but what I haven't had to do is tweak any hardware stuff, such as solenoids etc... So Id say that's what you're paying for when buying a prebuilt cabinet, you want your hardware to be working as it should. The software you work on yourself.
 
My cabinet arrived from pinballia, had a couple of snags I had to fix, but I am really happy with it.
Been playing a lot of strangers things.
It's the full size, 43inch with all the addons.
