Pinball MAME

Head over to http://www.vpforums.org you find everything you need to know! Here is a pic of my cabinet almost finished running FP and VPM with Hyperpin. I'm hoping to finish everything by the end of next week! It is actually further along than the photos.

Nice work devospeed!

I'm desperate to own a pinball machine but just don't have to room for a full size machine. That's why I was going to go the virtual route.

I have a spare pc that doesn't get any use so I was going to use that. What spec pc do you need to get good results from these pinball games? Do you need a fancy graphics card?

I'm using a 3ghz P4 with a ATI X1650 Pro 512MB video card with dual DVI outputs. Its runs FP at almost full. A lot of people are using the Nvida Geforce 8800 GT video card. You will need a decent video card to run FP and some of the newer VPM tables. I also don't have any room for a full size pinball so this is a great alternative! The playfield box on my pinball is the back case from an Aladdin pachislo.

The seed has been sown. Now searching ebay for a cheap graphics card.

I'm going to use the busted King Camel Pachislo for the main cabinet.

Major set back with the pinball project.

Looks like the pc I was going to use doesn't have a PCIe slot for the graphics card.

Does it have an AGP slot? I just bought 512MB for $34 shipped and it has dual DVI. There are also a couple PCI cards that might work.

Devo, your video pinball machine is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!

Have you finished it yet? Any new pics?
