Episode#21 Big Budget Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series!
In this episode, I show you how to install a knocker into your virtual pinball cabinet. I will also show you how to setup the 12-24 Volt knocker circuit conversion kit from CSD to work with a signal from Arnoz's Walter board and MOS8 boards! I also show how to change the set up in VPX preferences and how to create/modify the config files from the VPU config tool. As always, I also add all of the Way of the Wrench extras you guys have grown to love so you have a perfectly running vpin in the easiest format to understand! What more could you ask for???
