Episode#16 Big Budget Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series!
In this episode, I show you how to mod pinball buttons from Marco Specialties to have chrome bezels/12V LED bulbs and how to set up and install Arnoz's dude cab board, brain board, and button boards in your virtual pinball cabinet. I also show how to set up the dude's cab configurator program so you can set up your buttons, plunger, nudge, and calibration for the ultimate high end vpin build of your dreams. In true Way of the Wrench fashion, I will show you everything to get it all up and running including how to enter the buttons for vpx, future pinball, and pinup popper!
Here are some links to the parts/boards I used in this video:
