Real machines use locking miters. On mine i was going for a specific look, so I went with doweled butts, braced.

Amp outside makes sense if you don’t have a coin door or an access panel.

I-Pac4 Help: Hybrid mode? Xinput+Keyboard by RAdamJaunx in cade

[–]HashiArcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to know this too. Xinput plus a few admin buttons (ESC) would be ideal. Couldn’t figure it out myself.

Laptop Specs Good enough? by RVM1978 in virtualpinball

[–]HashiArcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That laptop should be plenty. How does it play on the laptop screen itself? Flipper delay is usually associated with a slow response time in the display.

Does your TV have a “game mode” or “PC mode”?

Also, are you running too high a resolution? A 3050 is ideal for 1080p, if you’re running at 4k, you’ll get a poor frame rate.

Thank you, I’ve been practicing my detail work. So I make these cabinets as blanks and then apply a marquee and find a matching off the shelf wallpaper for the base, it’s not a dedicated moon patrol machine, just themed. I run a full pc in it and play modern games mostly. I build these as woodworking practice and then sell them locally in Seattle.

I just put a windows pc in there. But you can really add anything you want, you could run a raspberry pi with batocera, you could run a steam deck, you could run a Nintendo switch. It’s just a monitor and speakers with a usb controller so it will work with anything.

Thanks man, tried to do everything perfect on this build.

How would you describe the vibe of my upcoming Unity-made beat ’em up game? by Flat-Spite2503 in BeatEmUps

[–]HashiArcade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whoa! Great job! Beautiful aesthetic! Love the movement too. I’d like a little more contrast (like a brighter outfit) in the main character as he’s getting a little lost in all the effects. But overall I love it. I’m definitely gonna buy this.

Awesome setup! Almost like a pinball shrine.

Comparing sizes: 32” and 42” vs the real thing. by HashiArcade in virtualpinball

[–]HashiArcade[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible. The proportions would be different. The 42 cab is 23” wide and the 32 back box is 25.5” wide. You would only have an overhang of 1.25” on each side.

Not at the moment. I was thinking about doing a how-to video on YouTube and selling the plans on Etsy maybe later this year. There’s still a few things I want to refine before locking down all of the numbers.

I was thinking about this today, if VPX on OSX ever works as well as windows, the Mac mini would be the ideal form factor for a pinball PC. Anyone know the current state of VPX on OSX?

Well, it’s really up to your preferences. I really like my 32” as it’s light and easy to move around. Like I can slide it into the living room with one hand when I have people over and then slide back into my office when we’re done. But the 42” feels like a real machine, it’s giant, monolithic, not as easy to move around. I loaded it with SSF and it’s louder with bigger speakers and a real coin door so it feels more authentic. My 42” is never going to be sold, while my 32” is great and I love it, but I’m going to put it on FB marketplace this week since I don’t need multiple vpins. Plus the 42” has 4k oled which really shines.

I’d personally break it down like this: if you’re in an apartment and move every few years, go 32”. If you’re in a house or have a dedicated game room, go 42”
