PinKadia! The Ultimate virtual Pinball / Arcade / PC combo cabinet!

Retroflair (original table on normal Future Pinball) vs my updated Retroflair (BAM Edition) mod.

 

This is a video of my first attempt at taking an older Future Pinball table (made by the talented rom), and updating it to modern BAM features.

 

You can see the drastic difference in not only how much better it plays (and I don't really know much about physics)...but also how stunning it can look with the following changes:

• BAM dynamic physics
• new controlled g.i. lighting using hardware nano flashers
• BAM RGB flashers (that look so cool!)
• BAM shadow maps
• BAM ball texture
• BAM ball and flipper shadows
• BAM global lighting and post processing
• BAM controlled brightness of light inserts

This looks and plays so much better....and looks so cool in BAM Open VR!

 

I already have DOFLinx support on the table, but I may update it to use the new iCOM BAM plug-in (thanks Nailbuster and Ravarcade!), that allows FP to use DOF directly without needing DOFLinx.

Here's a quick peek at my PinEvent PUP FullDMD update to Halloween Ultimate Pro. 

I've created the attract mode to mimic the opening to the movie, but I'm using PUPDMD's features to display all the text in realtime.

I have complete DOF, MX, SSF, PUPDMD (4:1 and 16:9) and a complete pup-pack done for the table. 

This is a HUGE update! I have completely updated the table...fixed A LOT of bugs (SLAM said it wasn't complete yet, but he posted it for Halloween)... and made all modes completable, and also added and "end" to the game.

I'll have a "gameplay" demo video soon enough, and I "hope" to have it available to download and test by tomorrow.

Words cannot describe how friggin cool this table now is with the complete PinEvent experience in a cabinet!

Halloween (Ultimate Pro): "PinEvent - PUPDMD - Pup-Pack - PUPSSF" mod.

After weeks of work on both integrating and updating PUPDMD framework to PinEvent... and completely updating Halloween with a new PUPDMD and PuP-Pack update... I'm happy to finally be able to show it off!

This video shows the 16:9 FullDMD option and the Backglass pup-pack videos working together very nicely. All text  and zoom / flashing effects are done with PUPDMD in real-time to completely replace the FP DMD functions.

All game modes are shown. Lots of cool stuff!

I updated the table itself significantly to fix bugs and make all modes complete (it was released early by SLAMT1LT to be out for Halloween...more updates will come from him at some point).

I also added an "end" objective (clear all modes to kill Michael and start over).

I'll be trying my best to get the table ready for tomorrow. I need to now work on the RealDMD settings and 4:1 videos (if there will be any more).

This table uses a brand new version of PinEvent... so I also need to update RetroFlair - BAM to be compatible as well.

I think we are going to see more and more cabs with Stern style backboxes now

...and so it a new era begins...

I'm really looking forward to seeing this all play out! 

What size monitor did you go with for the DMD/Video display?

[TerryRed]

It's still the same 16:9 TV I was using before (19 inches).

[tthurman]

Makes sense, wouldn't want to have to recreate all those videos

Must have been an optical illusion from the lack of the separation border, but as I was watching it just seemed like a bigger "hole"  in the panel.

[TerryRed]

Just another video showing you my big progress with my PinCab while you can still see inside of it. Now I have a Fire Button on the lockdown bar, and Apron LCD Screen, a 16:9 Middle Screen, a working tilt bob and analogue nudge, SSF... and more!

The pinball cabinet , PC, VR and simpit are all now working together... and after a few years, I finally have pinball cabinet glass! I also have some tinted plexi blades to cover the MX Leds on the sides to match the back panel. It's going to look real nice when it's all setup!

This video talks all about reflections on your playfield and how to get rid of them using either privacy / security screen, or a custom glare guard.

I also show gameplay demos to show how the games look with and without reflections using my crazy custom glare guard and privacy screen on my MX Leds.

Here’s a quick video preview that shows off (in my cabinet) some of the DOF and MX Leds I added to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (VPX) by Scotty Wic.

I have effects for the potion cauldron, the wand Lock, shimmer / modes, Goblet Fire, Dragon Fire, particle effects for each mode and colour matched with the undercab lighting… and much more than I can show in this video.

There will be more DOF updates coming. Sorry for my phone’s crap audio.

I really need a high quality new video camera of some sort.

Jaws Ultimate Pro 1.08 PE (Future Pinball, PinEvent)

PUPDMD 16:9 FullDMD wip.

Here's a few screenshots of my 16:9 FullDMD option (Stern style Middle screen) running with the Ultimate Pro version of the pup-pack.

The bottom half will display videos that visually show you what to do in the game, and changes depending on the mode or events happening.

The top half is PUPDMD text and scoring that will run in realtime, and it doesn't interfere with the bottom portion.

Works out really nice!

How many ways can Pup do a PUPDMD on a Future Pinball table if you have your PuP screens properly placed? 

LCD DMD (4:1 standard DMD size)

Real DMD - only 128x32 dots 

FullDMD 16:9 fullscreen (Stern style)

LCD DMD on the Backglass (for 2 screen users)

Topper/Under above the DMD for split middle screens

Been a while since I posted here.

OK... so anyone who ever wanted to see my mug and hear me yapping...

I was a guest chatter on manu's excellent Mystery Pinball Theatre 3000. He's a great guy and his channel is always a good time.

It's good to see you posting!

You've really grown your channel (and community presence) an incredible amount since kicking off your VP project.  No doubt many have benefited from your guides and lighting tutorials. 

Don't be such a stranger
