Smoots Pinball (JanduSoft 2023) Media Files & Cabinet Instructions

By SixOfTwelve

Curb your enthusiasm, it's another episode of
Let's Put Things On Cabinets That Were Never Meant To Be On Cabinets!

Oh dear. How do I put this.
Usually, the games featured in this series have something that immediately grabs me. Maybe it’s historical significance, a quirky mechanic, or simply enough charm to make me feel they deserve a place on a virtual pinball cabinet.
This is not one of those times.
Now, before anyone gets the wrong idea, Smoots Pinball was brought to my attention by user @iwantpinball, whose help with scripting and artwork for this release is hugely appreciated. Mentioning the game to me was not some grand declaration that it was a forgotten masterpiece; it was more a case of “hey, this odd little thing exists.” And, in fairness, odd little things are exactly the sort of rabbit hole this series tends to disappear into.
That said... after spending some time with it, I have to admit the game itself really didn’t win me over.

Warning: longish rant incoming.

You’d be forgiven for not knowing what a Smoot is - I certainly didn’t. Think somewhere between Nintendo Miis and Funko Pops, without the charm of either, and you’re not far off the mark. These little customizable guys starred in a whole lineup of multiplayer sports games that were released on just about every platform imaginable and received consistently lukewarm reviews across the board. Not quite shovelware, but never exactly striving for greatness either.

Now: It is a truth universally acknowledged that a gaming franchise in possession of dwindling ideas must be in want of a final cash grab. Which usually takes the form of either a kart racer or a pinball game.
And so we arrive at Smoots Pinball, proudly continuing the series’ long-standing tradition of "Yeah, that'll do."

The game features five tables themed around sports: baseball, summer games, tennis, golf - and of course that most popular sporting event of all: zombies. (And if you've ever seen Olympic-level zombieing, you know what I'm talking about.)

Sadly, Smoots Pinball really doesn't have a lot to recommend it. Yes, tables are colorful, imaginative, and fit their themes nicely. There are neat little bits of animation, like the linesman's head turning to follow the ball on the tennis table. The simple controls and unlockables may make it accessible to children who are too young to get the hang of The Twilight Zone-level complexity. The goals for each table are telegraphed clearly by blinking arrows. The music is fine. But there's a persistent sense that the developers haven't actually spent much time around real pinball tables.

For starters: Four balls. That just feels wrong. Three balls? Sure. Five balls? Also common. But four? It constantly feels like one too many, or one too few.

Then there's the nudging. You don’t get directional nudges, just a single "nudge" button. That alone would be forgivable, but there are no tilt warnings, no sounds, no feedback whatsoever. Take it too far and the flippers just stop. Good luck figuring out where the limit is.

The user interface somehow manages the impressive feat of being both too basic and awkward to use at the same time. More on that further below under "Quitting the game".

And, of course, there’s no cabinet mode. A quick look at the Steam discussions pages suggests the developers' general approach is to release a game and then quietly move on. Given that the Smoots series has also been released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch, it's pretty clear that the PC version was never a priority, much less the virtual pinball niche market. And while you certainly can play the game in portrait mode, a significant part of the screen will be cut off to the left and right, so I decided to make it playable on the backglass screen.

Sorry, folks. I did what I could to make this presentable on a cabinet, and I did pick up a few useful scripting tricks along the way (especially with resolutions and DMDExt) while I wrestled the game into submission.
But I can’t blame you for giving this one a miss.

Longish rant over. For now.

This time, there are two AutoHotkey scripts included. The main one does the usual: It pushes the game window to the backglass screen, fills playfield and DMD with decorative images, launches the game, auto-skips the intro videos and maps the controls to standard cabinet buttons. Optionally, it offers support for analog nudging and plunger use via JoyToKey, and can also use DMDExt to mirror the score display on your DMD screen.
The other script serves as a selection menu: You can pick the table you want to play, and the previous script launches much like it did before, but will continue to auto-select the desired table and auto-start a one player game. Once again, I am indebted to @iwantpinball for this part.

Also included are a number of goodies:
2 backglass images (4:3 and 16:9) a company logo 2 DMD images (one for the frontend, one as a filler image for the script) 5 instruction cards (depending on which script additions you're using) table audio (recorded directly from the game) a table image for your frontend and a filler image for the script (the same image, rotated differently for each purpose) a wheel image Most of these images were graciously provided by @iwantpinball.

Share and enjoy!

SOME MORE NOTES:

Where to get it:
Smoots Pinball is available on Steam.

How to run it:
The game should run "out of the box" on current Windows systems, but being a Steam game, the Steam client will launch along with it and hang around in the background. If you don't mind that, fine.
However, if you have an offline cabinet and want to run the game without the Steam client popping up:
Download the Goldberg Emulator and extract the steam_api64.dll. Go to the game's SmootsPinball_Data\Plugins\x86_64 folder and rename or back up the original steam_api64.dll and replace it with the one from step 1. Create a simple Notepad text file in the same folder, name it steam_appid.txt and paste the game's Steam ID into it. You can find the ID number in the URL of the game's Steam Store website. Running the game's EXE file should now work without Steam. It should be noted that use of a Steam emulator can be a legally gray area. Check your local jurisdiction and make sure you own a legal copy of the game.

Quitting the game: The hard and the easy way
To leave the game, you usually have to navigate your way back to the main menu (using flippers for left/right and magnasave buttons for up/down). Then navigate to the rightmost menu and push up (magnasave/nudge left) to light up the little ball with the x in it in the top corner. That's the game's close button. And it will still ask you one more time if you really want to leave. For this reason, I mapped an extra key (Buy-In, or 2) as an insta-killswitch that will end the game from any place.

Use of JoyToKey:
As I said above, I’ve included optional support for JoyToKey, though I’m hesitant to recommend it in this case.
First, the game only supports a single “nudge” key, so it doesn’t matter where you hit or shake the cabinet - the result is always the same.
Second, and more bizarrely, the game uses the same key for both nudging and the plunger. That means if your analog plunger has a bit of recoil when released, those extra triggered nudges can occasionally tilt the game before the ball has even left the shooter lane.

AI use disclaimer:
No AI was used in the creation of the artwork for this media pack.
However, the launch selection menu script is mostly the result of me arguing with ChatGPT until it finally cooperated.

Finally, here are two videos showing the game running on my cabinet.

Here is the version without running the selector menu first: You get to pick your own table and select your number of players. I also demonstrate the analog nudge by kneeing my cabinet in the groin. The video also shows the tedious way you have to use the exit menu to quit the game. (Also note that on a 4:3 backglass, the menus will look a bit out of place until you get to the game proper, then everything looks fine.)

And this is the version with the selector menu. It launches the table directly and starts a 1 player game. In this video you also get a better look at the DMD screen.

Wildfire Studios Wheel Logo Pack

By SixOfTwelve

Here’s a pack of wheel logos for the complete Wildfire Studios lineup supported by @Aubrel's excellent PinCabView WFS.

I’ve been on a bit of a PinCabView binge lately, filling in the gaps on my cab. While rounding out my Wildfire Studios collection, I noticed there’s surprisingly little decent logo art available for these games. What does exist are various scans of covers and manuals, with logos in wildly varying quality.
So I took those, isolated the logos in Photoshop as cleanly as possible, and then ran them through ChatGPT for upscaling and cleanup.

This collection includes wheel logos for all the individual games in:
Austin Powers Pinball (base logo courtesy of the LaunchBox Games Database) Balls of Steel (also includes a clean version without specific game titles) Devil’s Island Pinball Dirt Track Racing Pinball KISS Pinball (base logo courtesy of the LaunchBox Games Database) Ultimate Pinball Gold (also includes a clean version without specific game titles)
The filenames match those passed as arguments to the PinCabView executable.

Share and enjoy!

AI use disclaimer:
Except for the Austin Powers Pinball logos, AI has had its grubby little hands all over the included artwork.
