Here is a video that explains all about DOFLinx SUP ini files...how they work, and how you can use them with DOFLinx: Effects. It gives you a tour of the DOFLinx: Effects spreadsheet, and shows you how to easily create SUP ini files with my SUP ini Creator Tool.

"DOFLinx Effects": What is it? How does it work? In this video I explain what "DOFLinx: Effects" is and how it works for any game... and it's limitations compared to proper DOF for Visual Pinball or Future Pinball Tables.

Have you ever wanted to use some of my cool Addressable Led effects / animations in a pinball game...or maybe a PC game...MAME arcade game? What about your DOF lighting and feedback? Maybe also use a PuP-Pack? Well now you can! This is a demo of "DOFLinx: Effects." I created 100's of addressable led effects and animations, as well as all sorts of DOF lighting animations and feedback... and I added it all to "ONE" rom configuration in DOF Config Tool! Almost 1000 Exxx triggers can be used! This rom allows any VPX table, FP table, or ANY other game to use them through DOF / DOFLinx script commands. For tables and games that DON'T have DOF capability (PC, Zaccaria pinball, MAME,etc), this also means they can be controlled with Startup Events, or with key / button presses using DOFLinx! While that may not be the same as full DOF control (using script commands)... the video demo shows that it can still do some cool stuff! I'll have more information soon on the DOFLinx forum. Anyone can do this using my "DOFLinx SUP ini Creator". Make sure you watch the Stargate demo on the second half of the video!

A new "full gameplay" video of me playing randr's VPX conversion of Masters of the Universe in my cabinet running my new PuP-Pack with the "Text on Topper" option, as well as my DOF and addressable led effects for the table. I recorded this using a dollar store "bendy" cell phone clip and my cell phone. Works pretty good!

Here's a video demo of my new Masters of the Universe (VPX) PuP-Pack. I went beyond my original Mastered mod for the FP table! This PuP-Pack features an Underlay layer for the sky that will change video effects for each MB mode as well strike lightning when you hit your flippers. The castle's eyes will change colour for each MB mode and other events. The center videos play action from events throughout the entire game. All of this is covered by an Overlay layer of Castle Grayskull. This all makes for a stellar combination! The original (stunning) Castle Grayskull image was made by Ankit Bhatnagar. The modified image was edited by Tarcisio Caleiro. The Visual Pinball X conversion (of Rom's excellent Future Pinball original table) was converted by randr. Pinup Player (the software that plays the active video backglass) was created by Nailbuster. PuP-Pack was created by: TerryRed...and will be available soon. I gotta sleep and do some testing first.

So this is my final look for my Jaws PuP-Pack. I MUST have everything locked down as final before I can make the rest of the pack because of the drop shadows and also the effects I do. This video shows the default look, but at half way you will see the DRAIN effect I’m playing with. Just wait for it. This Pack is using a video underlay layer at 60fps for the water, main video layer in the middle, overlay still image for the frame, and the bottom middle video layer changes for Text and modes, or can be used for UltraDMD for those who need to. I also have an Overlay Video layer for the Drain effect…maybe others…not sure yet.

If I didn't have an arcade control panel at all...I would definitely go with a KL25Z Pinscape. Its a great all in one solution for controls for a pincab.

When it's approved on DOF Config Tool...you too can have this new Transformers light show. This was the quickest and easiest DOF MX Led update I've ever done. Explosions, laser blasts, electrical effects, and flasher effects positioned around the playfield.

I'll have to make a Memphis Bell or Pearl Harbor PuP-Pack for 1942 one day. Would be very simple though.

Here is a new preview video of my Transformers PuP-Pack...but now with all new high quality stereo music from the OST of the movies! This is not cruddy mono SAM sound from the rom...this is all new music files played from Pinup-Player controlled completely by gameplay events. Let's call them PuP-Tracks! I show many of the modes quickly so you can hear a lot of the music. You also get to see "Battle For Cybertron". The final game mode. I have a good 19 videos just for that mode, but you only see some of them in the video. Featuring: -new OST music for every mode (a lot) -your choice (Autobot or Decepticon) will determine the main mode's music that will play (one player only) -Autobots and Decepticon's main mode music will also change with every new game! -OST music is totally optional -I have a special track at the end (for High Score) just for Optimus Pin! I made this work by using Pinball Browser to "mute" all the music files in the table's rom. Sam sound is limited to mono 24000Hz quality...so these PuP-Tracks are a complete game changer for SAM tables that was only previously possible in the Future Pinball versions. To use these PuP-Tracks, you will need to use my "muted" custom rom. You can always turn down the table's VPX sound if you want the PuP-Pack's music louder. This PuP-Pack will REQUIRE an even newer update (possibly 1.3.7 beta) to Pinup Player that will be made available. This PuP-Pack should be available soon. I'm currently converting it down to a smaller size from the current....yup.... 3GB+ that it is right now! Since I was able to convert Stranger Things: SE from 2.5 GB down to 600MB....I'm hoping I can do similar with this Pup-Pack! Heavily inspired (and a few music files borrowed) from Rom and SLAMT1LT's excellent FP version. Enjoy the video!

I asked Tarcisio Caleiro if he could make his excellent Bumblebee Topper video (modded from an excellent T2 video) work as a Decepticon as well. So he did, and I was going to add them as optional Toppers....but I thought, why not try something even cooler! Choose your EYES!

Here it is...the first video preview of my new Transformers PuP-Pack! So far it has 229 different videos on 6 different PuP Screens with an Overlay image. It uses over 200 PuPCapture images monitoring the DMD to trigger the videos using newer features of Pinup Player 1.3.6. This was a mountain of work that took a good 3 weeks to (almost) finish. (still more to do) The bottom "Text" area is sized perfectly for a DMD for those who need to have their DMD on the backglass screen...so this should work for everyone. I used the Ball Controller to show as many videos as quickly as I could...and it still was over 35 mins! There is something new through almost the entire video as the videos will be different if you choose Autobots or Decepticons. The backglass animations on the different PuP screens will also change depending on what you choose.

I present... the world premiere of BEZ BALL! For my 20th Anniversary, I decided to do make a funny pinball game for my wife... about her! This game has many modes, and a main overall objective. To defeat THE BEZ! (my wife ). She actually plays and completes the entire game! Definitely worth watching through the entire video guys. You've never seen a table quite like this before. It has a funny and cute build up to the final battle! You'll be amused... Featuring: - funny and cute Pinup Player videos from our 20 years together - amazing voice acting from...myself! I did the voices of The BEZ, my kids, my dogs, and my mother-in law! - full DOF feedback, lighting, and MX leds - many modes including: Bez Ball, Ba Ba Ball, Zack Attack, Emily's Magic Trick, and Bez Battle! - completely new table built from scratch (table, coding, sounds, music, videos, graphics) in less than 2 weeks. My first complete pinball table creation.

Yes its still there. You get a bunch of different quotes for everything like that throughout the game.

Tron Legacy (Stern Ultimate) DOFLinx: MX PuP SSF Now updated to support my new PuP-Pack with new videos and SSF (surround sound feedback). A Future Pinball first! Video preview:

Aliens FX3 PuP-Pack! DOFLinx, SSF, and optional Movie Soundtrack! I've updated my Aliens FX3 PuP-Pack to have more videos, use newer PuP features, and it has optional SSF (Surround Sound Feedback) and Movie Music! Video preview: This FX3 table can run on a cabinet and have excellent hardware, lighting, and surround sound feedback, and an active video backglass using the combination of the following programs: - DDH69's DOFLinx will trigger all cabinet feedback related functions. This includes solenoids, shaker motor, blower fan, RGB flashers, RGB undercab, strobes, beacons, MX leds,etc . It also will trigger the Pinup Player SSF (surround sound feedback) actions. - Freezy's dmdext (DMD Extensions) will render the FX3 DMD to real DMDs or a new virtual DMD window with nice clean "dots". It will also output the DMD images to Pinup Player for PuPCapture. - NailBuster's Pinup Player will create an active video Backglass and Topper. It monitors the dmdext DMD output and will play videos on your Backglass or Topper screen when it sees specific DMD images. It also plays movie music tracks in the same manner. For PuP SSF (surround sound feedback), it relies on DOFLinx to tell Pinup Player when to play the SSF sounds. -TerryRed is the poor sap who created this Aliens FX3 PuP-Pack.

Agreed. I won't go on here going on about Popper either...and none of my cabinet build posts on here will have any of that. I have friends here...and the last thing I'm going to do is crap all over PBX. Just because I'm using a different front-end doesn't mean I should act different. Well we assume you are...it's in your name!

Whatever would make you want this all of a sudden...

Coming Soon... SSF for FX3! Once the new DOFLinx is released, I will upload 2 sets of "FX3 SSF" PuP-Packs! The "DEFAULT TRIGGERS" PuP-Packs set will work for all tables with the standard Flippers, Slings, Bumpers, Drain, Ball In, Launch, and Nudge for SSF. These will use the same sounds and 3D positions for every table. You simply setup DOFLinx for PUP SSF, and then copy these pup packs into your PinUPSystem folder. For a more Complete SSF Experience: Now, if you want more than the default sounds and positions...well this will require some editing of PuP-Packs from yourself or others. I will make available, the "ALL TRIGGERS" PuP-Packs that can be a more table specific and complete SSF experience. HOWEVER, these need to be COMPLETED! You would only copy over one of these PuP-Pack if you intend to edit them! You simply need to play the game (using this version of the pack for the table), listen to the "numbers" you hear (and note where you heard it). Then you edit the PuP-Pack, find the trigger using the "number" you heard, and then change the sound file to what kind of action it is, and edit the 3d position of where the sound should come from. It may sound complex...its not. Its very easy. Just watch my entire video and you will see me explain everything.

So after almost 3 years it finally happened. I now have a lockdown bar.... as well as a new 1 player - 2 stick control panel (instead of the monster 2 player - 3 stick 1000 button panel). The 2nd stick is still great for MAME 2 stick games, but is awesome for pinball games like The Getaway! But there's a twist! Presenting the world's first control panel blower fan vent. This works so much better for me than having it come out through the coin return or on top of the cab! Is all of this goofy and different than everyone else's cab? Yup...what else would you expect from me?

So...now that I had some time....yes...after 3 years...the cab is shaking!!! I finally installed a real Stern Shaker Motor.

Yah probably. Depends on what I was using with them...but if in doubt, it doesn't hurt. If I was trying to save on space...maybe not. You'll get people who say it's not needed, but you never know.

Into the abyss of the inside of my cab...

Progress is slow....but the plunger is done...
