Episode#24 Big Budget Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series!
In this episode, I show you how to get all of your front panel buttons converted to 12 volt and lit up and flashing like a real pinball cabinet would when there is enough credits to start a game (start button flashes) and your launch ball button flashing when you are using a game that had a launch ball button (flashes when a ball is ready to launch) in your virtual pinball cabinet. I also show you how to use the table user configuration to make it so all of your buttons are lit up when in the pinup popper front end too!
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???
