Decals arrived today from retrorefurbs.com

Well packaged in a solid cardboard tube, decals wrapped in paper & bubble wrap, no rips or tears. A few creases but they will iron out easily.
Took 4 weeks from order to delivery.

They look a bit ‘washed out’ in these photos (there was a lot of sun shining in on them – it’s very warm here in the UK today), but in reality the colours are good.
Printed on Orajet media, so should be fit for purpose. Decent ‘weight’ and feel to them.

is there a place here where it can show you how to upload the games but in a very basic step by step way starting with the more simpler games the slowly advancing as I’m a little nervous when you start getting into the programs and am worried I may do something and it will not be fixed ??…

For a quick starter Mozzie – it’s not exactly ‘in depth’ but it helped me get up and running before delving a bit deeper into the various components….

unsure if the pro guys on here would approve, but for noobs like us it’s an ‘easy way in’ to get going.

Also, I highly recommend TerryReds youtube channel – loads of really good in depth stuff in there aswell as setup guides.

Hi Everyone

Love the site and all the resources.
And, very importantly, seems an extremely helpful and knowledgeable place to hang out.

I’ve enjoyed real pinball since I was very young (recall having to stand on a chair to play in a local arcade, and could only just reach both flippers at the same time)!
Then, of course, playing Pinball Dreams on the Amiga in the early 90’s
Since, then, mainly arcade and video games, not so much virtual pinball.
Only really got back into virtual pinball a few months ago, after watching some of TerryRed’s YouTube vids.

And, of course, the familiar story unfolds, once bitten by the virtual pinball bug…..
…read the forums, guides, watch the vids, download the software, get it up an running on a desktop pc, tinker around with front-ends, Pup etc…….

..it’s all great “but in a full size cab this would be so much better” you say to yourself – so that’s the plan!

Thankfully, I have some accrued knowledge that will help – I built a bartop arcade machine a year or so ago (pic below).
Of course, a pinball cab is far more complicated than a simple single screen arcade machine, but the basic build principles still apply.
Wish me luck!

Regards
