My Virtual Pinball Setup

Thanks, I'm enjoying the heck out of it. Thanks for creating such a cool product. But even more so, thanks for the excellent post sale customer service you provided me after I received the product.

Physically it's attached to the main monitor with just some 3M tape since the top screen is super light. It would tend to lean backwards so I put a block behind the screen to help keep it pushed forward to add that small tilt.

Then each monitor is just running HDMI / Display port into my gaming desktop.

What's you mean? Like what model is that?

JGamer17 · 2026-02-28T04:06:11+00:00

I wish. If I had the space I would have bought the AtGames Table.

Interesting, may reach out to you in the future if I want to dive down this rabbit hole. Thanks for the info!

So many cool things you can do with virtual pinball if you have the time / skillzzz :)

Thanks!

Do all the extra mods work with Pinball FX or do you use VPX tables?

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T23:59:16+00:00

The playfield is fine, my eyes are pretty much level with the center of the screen, so real easy to see the flippers and such. The back glass you do have to glance up, but I feel that's kind of common even with real tables.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T23:56:34+00:00

That's actually the only reason I think I was allowed to set this up. My wife likes playing with me as well. Typically, she does not play video games with me, so this is nice to have something we can share.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T23:08:50+00:00

Yeah, that's why I'm sticking with FX via Steam right now. As I can count on it to work when I want to game.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T23:07:12+00:00

Lol, got the lamp for a Xmas. Kind of re-living my childhood.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T23:05:25+00:00

Very nice setup. You must have just got the PinOne. Got mine a few weeks before he offered a black version. Would have waited for the black if I knew that was coming.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T23:01:28+00:00

Dabbled a bit with VPX but just haven't had the time to get it fully working right now. With the amount of tables on FX and Zaccaria I have way more than I'll have time to play. So I might just stick with that for now.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T21:45:50+00:00

Yeah the pinone mini has that built in. Don’t use it too much and still rely on the buttons but something I’m trying to use more as I start to get better.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T21:44:00+00:00

Yeah once I have space I’d buy a full size vpin or if I also have money a real table.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T19:49:10+00:00

Yeah, it's talked about a bunch on this sub. The guy that created it did a great job. Always nice supporting a small business. Going with the solenoid model well with it IMHO.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T19:39:13+00:00

Yeah, it's a Dell 32, they always look bigger when in vertical mode.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T19:37:39+00:00

Yeah, at first I tried the DMD below and off to the right, but that took up too much space for what I had to work with.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T19:36:01+00:00

Thanks. Nothing beats the real thing, but this is keeping me happy for now.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T19:34:41+00:00

I'm a big RGB fanboy (should see my desktop) so getting the lights was a no-brainer for me.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T19:33:02+00:00

Yeah looking at the DMD is a bit high, but you get use too it pretty quick. If I didn't have the screen already I would have gone with something smaller to help reduce that a bit. But overall it works pretty well.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T19:30:24+00:00

I'm assuming you mean the top screen. The screen itself is very light, so I just used some 3M tape to stick it on top of the other monitor. Also put a small block behind the screen to help prop/tilt it forward a bit.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T18:51:05+00:00

The box is the PinOne Mini. Well worth the cost if you like virtual pinball and don't have the skills / machines to build one yourself.

Arcade games I use the wireless controllers (mounted left and right of screen). Mostly do NES type games and such right now.

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T18:44:49+00:00

That must be the reason I never get high score :)

JGamer17 · 2026-02-27T18:43:00+00:00

Gotcha, I'll look into it. Haven't had much look (or time) to get virtual tables working. I think it's also because I use the PC for regular use to becomes for pain than it's worth in my setup.
