I can’t thank you enough for this one. It looks and plays fantastic!

After having this machine as my daily player for a while, I have been missing it greatly but now I am happy to be locked inside while the world outside turns to poo. …happy about the being locked inside, not the world turning to poo part ;)

Thanks for the 21:9.  It’s greatly appreciated :)

DOF and SSF work well together, as SSF fills in the blanks that contactors etc cannot provide.  Personally (and full disclosure…. I could be a little bias here as my cab is the original development cab for SSF) I would add SSF first and then add the DOF toys that SSF can’t provide later. It will make for a cheaper build and less ongoing…[Read more]

RustyCardores,

Didn’t know 21:9 was the standard for toppers. I’m running a 1280x 360 (720) topper screen that all the toppers I’ve been making have be set up for.…

AMAZEBALLS!!!!

Thanks to the whole team for the hard work, it’s a fantastic result.

This seems like such a huge upgrade!!!! i just ordered 4 Exciters on Ebay. I am a bit confused about the Amps! do we need 3 total? on the diagram 2 says 2.0 and the other one says 2.1 . Would i bee good with 3 of these

SSF can be installed a number of ways, so the method you pick determines the amps required. The basic setups are….

RustyCardores, i didn’t fully understood your last paragraph. How can i access the ‘table’s Mechanical Sounds volume slider’? Is this a popup dialog, VPinMame provides?

Open a table in VPX Editor and have look in the Options panel.  You will see two sound sliders. They are set to 100 by default, but if you set all your tables to 70 (for example)…[Read more]

SSF is controlled by regular tables sounds.  The volume of these sounds vary with the original sound sample and with any level the table author has applied.

SSFImpactor (an add-on to SSF) is controlled by DOF and these sounds are independent of the table sounds and the author’s set levels. So these will remain a constant across all…[Read more]

If trying to keep the cost down as you say, then I would first start with SSF (Surround Sound Feedback) and then add the DOF devices that you think you need.

My cab is SSF plus SSFImpactor (which is DOF driven sub-audible bass vibes to a bass shaker to compliment the regular audible sound events) and I want for nothing extra.  I’m even happy…[Read more]

Yeah I’m pretty much the same.  I would buy it because I love it and love playing it. Having it hold it’s money or even going up some would be a bonus…. and if history showed that rare machines did that, well it would make the decision to buy all the more easier. ;)

No it’s a money deal only.  I love it for the “Firepower like” game play plus the art, sound and lighting is excellent (I get enjoyment just looking at it), but it’s still a lot of coin so I have to consider the investment side. I’d be happy to break even in a few years as I have had a fantabulous machine for that period, but I don’t want to…[Read more]

why not use a PC monitor instead ?

I did look for a PC monitor but found nothing locally here in OZ.  I will have another look via Amazon and the likes. Thanks.

Ordered the lg 43″ , but didnt fit in my cab

yeah I remeasured mine and a 43 is a no go. :(  Looks like I might have to build a new bottom for my cab if I want to go 4k.

but scans are needed over pictures.

What about really good pictures?  ie 1:1 lifesize @300ppi

I realise that we are dealing with lenses and their curvilinear distortion characteristics, but lens profiling/correction can be applied.  Just how super accurate do they need to be?

Looks like routing may be the way to go then.

I had considered the model mentioned at VPF, but the reviews kinda put me off….

“It has extremely low input lag which is excellent for gamers but the response time is only decent so some blur is visible behind fast moving objects. When viewed at an angle the image also loses accuracy, so the best…[Read more]

Rusty,

That is utterly amazing! BTW- Have you played with those addressable RGB LEDs?

Rick

Nope, all just regular single colour strips. When I first built the cab a few years ago, I just couldn’t get my head around the DOF/LED stuff.
