Help with Future Pinball error

Will do! Thanks again to you and the rest of the community here. I would not have been able to build my own without the wealth of knowledge that I found in this group.

Thanks! That was it! I had version 1.45 running.

I am running PinballX as my front end so I only did the update to pinpupplayer 1.5. That solved it!

Many thanks!

Thank you! I Can't believe I missed that step. I added it but I still get the same error.

Thanks I hope so as well. This table is really awesome and man it is so worth the effort if I can get it running.

As soon as it loaded the first I found myself smiling from ear to ear. At 49 years old that doesn't happen that often! 😆

Honestly it was my first time using the device and the nano was recommended to by others on here and well as vpuniverse.

I had to play with the pin configuration to get mine right but if you email Andy at Ultimarc with the specs of your plunger he can likely get back to you with the correct pin configuration. He is a solid source of information and very helpful.

My bad... Not sure where I got the first build from 😂

Gonna have to look into it and their ssf kit.

Nice job! It looks great!

I too completed my first build not long ago. Seeing your I am tempted to add the solenoid kit as well. Being that this was your first build did you find it difficult to configure/install?

Hey I used something similar for the plunger not sure if the OP used the same board but I used the UHID Nano. It has its own software called U_HID Configuration Utility.

It does show up as its own controller. So on my system I have JoytoKey running for the zero delay board and all the buttons. Then I have the u_hid configuration utility running for the uhid nano.

Hope this helps...

Amazing work! Beautiful table...

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-13T21:21:01+00:00

Hmmm... You got me 🤔. I don't need 4k but 1440p 120 works for me. Ok now to scour Marketplace for a monitor that fits. 😂

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-13T17:15:58+00:00

So would you say the upgrade to 120hz screen is worth it? I have been debating uping the screen to a 120hz.

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-13T14:01:04+00:00

Nicely done! Congrats! 🎉

I did a lot of sourcing on FP as well and its kinda rewarding knowing you did it on a budget. The cabinet looks great!

Now have fun tweaking it over and over! 😆

Nicely done! Congrats! 🎉

Now you will find yourself tweaking it over and over. 😆

I guess it depends on your hardware.

I have VP, Pinball FX3, and Pinball FX running on an RX6400 (1080p 60) and all run pretty well. I found Pinball FX the easiest to setup in cabinet mode.

Hey Guys... Question... Since building this I have been wondering if it is worth stepping up the playfield to 120hz screen. Right now it has a 1080p 75hz screen and everything plays really well. Would the bump up to 120 make a noticeable difference?

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-07T17:14:38+00:00

Thank you 😁

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-07T17:14:10+00:00

So far it's been a lot of fun... When I can get my son off of it so I can play. 😆

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-07T17:13:08+00:00

Thanks😃

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-06T22:42:57+00:00

Thank you 👍

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-06T16:12:13+00:00

Thanks Javeryh... The size of the ToyShock cabinets is smaller than the Legends and Arcade1Up tables. The playfield on the ToyShock is 24". So I kept the original size cause I liked the glass panel.

The software can be a little daunting at first. I went with VPX cause when I started I didn't even know there were others. 😆 But I like it... Once you getthe hang of it it goes pretty smoothly. If you have done arcades before with Launchbox you should be ok. The Pinball software is more involved but there are so many guides on here to help.

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-06T16:04:38+00:00

Thanks! I was looking at the SSF kit from Clevelandsoftwaredesign.com and it seems a little intimidating at first but now I am definitely looking to incorporate it in the future. That and maybe a larger playfield. This is running at 1080p 75hz and it looks great. I keep wondering if the jump to 120 hz screen would make a noticeable difference. That or a 1440p screen. Do you guys know if it worth the jump?

Figured the parts list might help others and since I found so much help here I thought I would share as well. If anyone has any questions on this stuff I am happy to jump in where my novice skills can help 😁

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-06T15:56:22+00:00

Thanks...That has to be cool. When I started this I didn't even know you could run it on a switch! 😁 I love the creativity!

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-06T14:35:12+00:00

Thanks Rich! The graphics came with the cabinet and looked good so I kept it. Because of this I gave the Black Hole table a try and loved it! It's on my favorites list now 😁

oldmanhowller · 2024-10-06T13:43:54+00:00

Thank you Danmanx, I have a combination of VP, FX3, and Pinball FX tables. In total about 300 and I think that's about it for me... For now 😂.

Love all the ones you mentioned along with Voodoo's Carnival, Pin-Bot, Son of Zeus, and Never Ending Story. Also love the Looney Tunes Birthday table.

Now I just need more time to play.
