Most of you will remember the guide that i created about 2 years ago which was a good overall general purpose guide for Virtual Pinball. We went Full Throttle in this 2nd version. We made a few modifications in the format. We decided to host the guide on our website instead of a PDF as we will keep updating it and this was not possible with the PDF version. We are restoring a 1975 Williams cabinet and will equip it will all the bells and whistles available. ( Addressable LED, Shaker, Gear, Chime, blower fan, dot matrix etc.. ) we have documented every section and will present it in a Youtube Video series released twice a week. As the Youtube episode gets released, the section covered by the Video will be unlocked on the website. ------------------------------------------------------- The complementary sections of the guide will be found on the website http://www.mameinabox.com - Pinball History: https://www.youtube....h?v=yvS6slWbBh4 - Parts list: https://www.youtube....v=pPA0OhFuBBg - Cabinet restoration: https://www.youtube....h?v=ikYdxunVAE8 - Cabinet Priming ,paint and repairing front coins door: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEiOHisq_Xk&t=23s - Removing rust from Pinball parts ( The easy way ) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3NnLbISG5U - Self adhesive vinyl installation ( Decals ) : https://www.youtube....h?v=mnNZZ1BQM0A - Installing cross supports and contactors: https://www.youtube....h?v=EAT64hAlM-g - Installing components mounting board : https://www.youtube....h?v=8l3vYTZgX8U - Building the DMD with a CNC machine : https://www.youtube....v=TxMS4UInSm4 - Setting up Addressable LED ring in speaker grill: https://www.youtube....h?v=-zvSngqQz24 - Setting up Dual Monitor in the Back box: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qekSVIv0QlA&t - Installing Diode on toys: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyzH1pVlWX0 - Wiring contactors, Fuse holder, power step down https://youtu.be/7Lx1n6cJ-g8 - Installing buttons in the cabinet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVnDZkJR4sg - Installing a digital plunger kit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeLVIH5NPjM - Computer hardware and software the essentials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkDcCitfKJY&t - Direct Output Framework ( DOF ) setup: https://youtu.be/qbfe12eL9_Y - Led-wiz: https://youtu.be/cxieZfF1lrQ - Sainsmart Board: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zj8qWDqQhgI& - Setting up Visual Pinball: https://www.youtube....v=SN3S6RtTko0 - Setting up Future Pinball: https://www.youtube....v=itsxm2E8vQQ - Xpadder: https://www.youtube....v=2Kohl6KHP80 - Pinball Arcade: https://www.youtube....v=mYqM8jRhF08 - DOF Config Overview: https://www.youtube....h?v=OR-CX1Xbu7U - Roms: https://www.youtube....?v=Y3GHdaueCMY - Pinball FX3: https://www.youtube....?v=xf2kafUfNGc - Setting up Pinball X: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRhNhlpiq_o& - Future DMD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7_vA8CHoNk - Setting up BAM ( Better Arcade Mode ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcF4SphaBW4 - Connecting a Gear motor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j6o5fRiqQGg - DOFLINX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BwxsyvU-Y8& - Installing a shaker motor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMwRbsBr_oM& - Installing a Knocker: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XLD2l4DlE0 - Setting up Ultra DMD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-igS-TuwVWQ& Enjoy!
