@jonch919 The problem is most likely that you have the internal pinmame volume too high for this table. It is a known fact. The solution is turning it down a few notches and then use the volume on the PC instead. A good tip is to get PinVol for all those different tables and volumes.

Do you mean the volume adjustment in the table service menu?

I love it, thanks Siggi!

Agreed on that custom artwork is sometimes better than bad scans.

Is there a solution to the the awful audio quality on this table? Did stern really release the table with such bad audio?

That looks great, fantastic idea that I might steal one day..

Im doing a 32 inch (main screen) build. I am putting in a Pin2DMD display – considering missing out the backglass ! Maybe even sink it into one of these tables: http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/products/tables/coffee-side-tables/lack-coffee-table-oak-effect-art-80111339/
That looks like a nice plan! Are you going to use it as a coffee table or jag for p…[Read more]

There seem to be a lot of options on how to configure a second monitor for DMD and animation/backglass functionality. Even how to set up the main monitor
What is the recommended way to do this?

I really haven’t read up at all yet on how to use multiple monitors. All I know for know is I’ll be using PinballX… So i guess that is step 1 out of 100…[Read more]

Hey, that’s pretty cool. Will the little monitor be easily detachable for storage etc? Also if you are only running two monitors I would recommend putting the little one in portrait orientation, the backglass and dmd combo will be better proportioned that direction (not so stretched), and em’s were generally taller than wide as well.

Looks like a Laptop with a second “PF” Screen … never thought about this Idea …
I suppose it does, kind of.. A 60cm long laptop.. 

I ordered a Samsung S24F350FHU 24″ FHD 16:9. It was on sale for €110, seemed like a bargain for a good PLS panel.

I will use another small 9,7″ panel I have as DMD. I’s a QXGA Ipad 3 panel with a 2048*1536 resolution, but I figure I can run it at half that, 1024*768, instead if needed.

The one thing I didn’t have in that particular post is that a 21:9 screen is 2.33:1 ratio, which comes much closer to standard size cab ratios than a 16:9 does, and the table could easily be setup in vp to be the correct proportions with a small black bar at the top of the screen or however you wanted. If I were to build another mini cab I would p…[Read more]
