Title: Any way to get Bethesda pins on virtual?
Post by: the architect on May 03, 2017, 09:32:01 AM
Wondering if there's a way to get the Bethesda pins on a full size virtual pin. I would actually buy a virtual pin just to have fallout/skyrim/doom

Looks like its possible with pinball fx 2:

You will need to do some research on how to set it all up.

Yes didn't know if that could be worked into a windows platform in an actual build or it was limited to steam/Xbox/ps

I've got fx2 running on my cab. Zen studios will ask you to email them a picture of your planned cab use and give you a code to unlock cab mode in the steam version of the game. PinballX front end allows to call each game via command line for quick launching direct to any table. The cab mode offers dmd placement. You can also use DMDext for a crisper looking dmd but is more involved for setup.

Have you downloaded/played those tables they're pretty involved. They play pretty well for a non pinball company coding them

Zen studios has been making these games since 2010. They are solid and a lot of fun. Physics on them is fantastic and plays similar to visual pinball 10.
Pc specs can be low, but like any game the better spec the higher the graphics can be run.

Last time I had a mame built, rats/mike did it. I may go something towards that route again. What are virtual pins costing these days? I've seen 1300 all the way to like 5k, which to me is ridiculous.
