Virtual pin options in the UK

[Action Andy]

I sent as 300 DPI Tiffs in both RGB and CMYK. Quality is good but I think they either printed the front in the wrong format or their printer was out of ink cause the front was missing all reds. They are sorting tho and full took responsibility for their cock up, sods law I had the issue with the fire button anyway as well. I think the money it'll cost them to have it sent back to them and sent back out again they won't want this issue to happen again cause changing the decals is a big faff cause everything is glued on.

We went for a custom Creature machine as its my wife's favourite. I still have the top part so you can see the printing came out pretty well everywhere else. Blacks are a bit blue but is a good level of detail.

Couple of cheap upgrades I can recommend, rubber feet for the legs (you'll need to buy something else like a 20p rubber nut to get the order over a tenner):

And I'm going to replace my plug with a switched one; when you turn the machine off the LEDs stay on until you unplug it so this solves that problem if like in my setup you can't switch it off at the wall cause it's on an extension with some other electronics. https://amzn.eu/d/3i0VdNd

That's dope. I also noticed they've just started offering a CTBL artwork as one of their options (no example image though). Wondering if that's yours.

Nice. Give me a ping when it's up. Is it homemade?

Just FYI, I switched my machine on at the weekend and ended up playing it for a couple of hours, so I've decided to hang on to it for the moment......

Yeah I'm pleased with it in the end. I will say to get the most out of it you should expect to learn a bit about how the software works. Get yourself a wireless keyboard with a trackpad and a wifi dongle, also helps if you get a usb extension wire that you can run through the grill at the back. I went through and favourited everything I cared about, then checked around and updated every table that required it. I only ever really run the favourites list now A lot of the tables they supplied have more recent versions available now. A few tables I found I had to change the POV too, such as Cirqus Voltaie because of the Ring Master being too top down. Once I updated in pinup popper you only really need a wheel image and a full DMD for any new games you install. Then when I'm actually running the system I record the playfield, backglass, and DMD so they look nice when scrolling through. Oh, I also stuck some small rubber pads (the kind you put on the bottom of chair legs) where my solenoids contacted as they were a bit clicky and this makes them more thuddy.

Still got a bit to learn but I'm getting there. You don't have to do all this but learning how to keep things updated is only gonna improve your enjoyment.
