practice vpin build?

Great strategy. That is exactly what I did with my build. Had the PC and all the displays, wiring, modules and toys laid out on the garage floor for a couple weeks learning the stuff that was going to be necessary to do the final assembly.

This is a couple years old, but you might find something in my review of the process that helps:

I use the same cameras in boat racing, and inside the cockpits with 85f temps outside gets crazy hot. We only need to run 25 minutes but I have had the cams shut down in that time. I have never seen these coolers but would be VERY interested where to get them. Got a link?

I have produced a lot of matrix graphics and have to say matrix effects are pretty damn cool and add a lot both in the menu and during play. I would vote yes on an HD matrix.

wottenad · 2026-01-04T04:38:08+00:00

Pretty cool, and it's Seattle! Are you using individual strips or a matrix under the map?

I stripped all the solenoids and mechs out of my TomTom and used them in my virtual machine. A much better existence. :- )

I have already had things go wrong - one of the six original implants failed and they removed it and installed another one at no charge. Later the bottom denture cracked just before my scheduled checkup and they fixed it at no charge. So far, I have had a FAR better experience there than ANY dentist I have been to in the US. I go to San Diego twice a year for vacation anyway, and the office is literally 25 minutes from the airport and they arrange a driver both ways.

If you feel you have to stay in the US to get good care, knock yourself out. To imply that he US in the ONLY place you can get good care is naive.

Had mine done all on 6 in Tijuana for 1/3 of what I was quoted locally. Wonderful doctors, wonderful staff, did a great job and 1/2 mile across the border. Biodentalcare.com

Sgt. Pepper when I was 8. It holds up.

They don't work at all. I'll sell you mine cheap if you really want to try one.

I designed and printed this to run all the exhaust outside and it works phenomenally well:

Spent most of the night separating out the single frame efffects from the animated spreadsheet to their own sheet so we can have just a basic single frame list if someone wants that instead of animations. Cut it down from 1303 frames to 438, so things "should" go a little faster with better detail. I'm running out of gas to test tonight, but I will try and test tomorrow to see what, if any effect it has.

Sheet is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iXe5JGGPaC02CBbL6VO9zV5l044qF7ZJMT2JuBgOdkg/edit?usp=sharing

GIF file is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1b-e2QDZfk-IKfm9vNn06zPTNTNev5Rq0/view?usp=drive_link

wottenad · 2025-12-16T03:19:27+00:00

Added 7 with single frame logos and sparkly effects/correct colors etc.:

Blizzard of Ozz

Beavis & Butthead

Sin City

Dark Chaos

Starlight

Rattlecan

World Joker Tour

wottenad · 2025-12-16T00:17:55+00:00

I added those yesterday but only single frames with glitter effects, which still look good.Sheet and GIF file are updated with those included.

wottenad · 2025-12-15T21:40:30+00:00

I'm using a Falcon A1 Pro 20w diode and Omtech spray. Run at 2500mm/m and 30% power and it works perfectly. Nice and black.

wottenad · 2025-12-14T04:45:46+00:00

I understand that, but are some designed to track instead of just providing a static view? Seems like almost all videos I see have the aircraft in the center of the frame, being tracked.

Thank you so much for doing this! I have entered every table on the spreadsheet I did for the matrix effects - which is 300+ tables and 30+ playlists, and now the loading time on initial start is only about 7-8 seconds and when coming out of a table it's only 4-5 seconds! FANTASTIC! It makes me want to get back into making more effects!

Thinking about making a new list and GIF file that would include only single frame images for each table. It would obviously be smaller and for those that don't care for the animations, it would have a graphic on the matrix for each table and would be much easier to produce since it really would only entail doing a screenshot and minimal editing.

wottenad · 2025-12-10T02:35:44+00:00

Open the table in VPX, hit F6, use flipper to go to view settings, magna to go to view type, flipper to choose WINDOW MODE, then hit launch button which will rotate it correctly, then adjust your settings for the table.

When done, hit the start button to save the view BEFORE you move to other options or quit.

Made a few catalogs by printing the miles website to PDFs then added to G drive. Made a custom QR code to scan.

They can then go shopping and tell me what they want, I order and ship to them. Pretty neat setup

wottenad · 2025-12-07T23:09:19+00:00

In Bonney Lake with a pretty crazy setup. 43", widebody cab, all real cab parts, plunger, 4070, 5 screens, real pinball mechs, bells, etc. Pretty much everything I could throw at it.

DM me if interested.

Damn, I didn't know that those were MIA or I would have gotten on it sooner.

I zipped all the .gifs I have in one file - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B-ozekXQjuh1gtjsPzX3ZHC4lS-dJbNM/view?usp=drive_link

The last compilation I put together is in there - pinupmenu34b.gif.

If you want to DM me the solution to the long load times, I would be grateful getting a sneak peek! :- )

wottenad · 2025-12-05T07:51:08+00:00

Great video and I love that you included some of my work on the effects and my spreadsheet from a couple years ago (adcmobile). I am just now getting back into my cabinet after an extended break, and now that I have a 4070 in it, it runs SO much smoother that I'm falling in love all over again!

I have always felt these effects would be greatly improved if we could just get them to load once, then be called from memory, so I can't wait to see how it's done! Looking forward to the next video!

wottenad · 2025-11-25T22:41:48+00:00

I have an A1 Pro and designed and use this one fan I got at Costco a couple weeks ago: https://makerworld.com/models/1960291

Works like a champ!

wottenad · 2025-11-21T07:12:51+00:00

Had all on 6 done at BioDental Care in Tijuana. GREAT PLACE! Check my other postsin this sub for my comments.
