Episode#35 Custom Virtual Pinball Cabinet Build
In this video I will show you how to install a program called Pinvol from mjrnet.org so you can adjust all of your virtual pinball tables volumes for the rom music and your surround sound feedback. This is the ultimate method for fine tuning your table volumes and having the settings saved when you exit a table so that the next time you play it again...it will be exactly how you left it. How cool is that! I will also be showing you how to set up another program called Equalizer APO so that we can make our SSF adjustments with Pinvol too. Plus I give my best workarounds for getting Pinvol to work with Future Pinball tables. Do you know the fix for Future Pinball tables? If so, let me know so I can share out this info for people!
As usual, this video will have a ton of tips and tricks to get your custom virtual pinball looking and working absolutely amazing! This stuff seems crazy hard but is actually pretty simple once you have a walkthrough like this. Fear not! I got you!
Here is the link to Pinvol (as well as the instructions and more details about Pinvol straight from the creator MJR) for you to download and enjoy.

Pinvol is the best! I haven’t needed to adjust my amps since. Good troubleshooting tip, after windows update you may have issues - particularly with external sound cards. Re-run EAPO setup and reinstall it on your device and restart (I used it’s “experimental mode”).

@wayofthewrench Год назад

Yeah I've heard that can be a common issue after windows updates. So far so good though...fingers crossed.

Thanks as always for your great videos on Vpinball. I found a problem with the latst 10.8 Beta GL64 has broken the display of the table volume and the main volume stops displaying like the future pinball does that you mentioned. Hoping that it will fix by the time of full release. Have Fun

How high did you set your AMP's physical volume nobs before you started? I'm curious. Thanks for the walk-through!

@wayofthewrench 2 месяца назад

I started with the knobs about halfway but they were too loud so they are only about a 1/4 of the way now. Plus they are only at 12v not 19v. Thanks for the watch!

@storborg Год назад

I've been following your pinball cabinet playlist, I'm sure I've watched every video a half dozen times. I am nearing completion of my cabinet thanks to your informative videos. I purchased the same amps, exciters and bass shakers that have in your cabinet. I am curious for comparison, where did you settle on your amp settings? Are all your dials about 50%, or have you tweaked some more than others? I know it's personal preference, but I'd love to know what another person decided on. I am also curious, what are your SSF gain settings for say "Champions Pub" table on your front, rear and back box? I feel like I am floundering a bit on changing my amp dials versus adjusting the SSF levels on the the individual tables. I just want someone's baseline as a starting point for comparison. Last request, any plans to do a video on how to install and configure a MAME Rom? My kid thought it would be cool to play some old school arcade games. There are some videos out there, but none as good as what you'd create :)

@wayofthewrench Год назад

That's so cool! Glad I was able to help you out with your build! What I would suggest is pick the loudest sounding ssf table you have and turn up the amps until they are causing false nudging, then turn them down a touch. Then install pinvol and use pinvol to turn up or down your tables to suit the same criteria (just below false nudges). Yes I will definitely be installing MAME and maybe Bigbox and getting it to run on the vpin, it just might be a while. Currently tearing down the cabinet to prep for paint and vinyl. Lot's more videos to come in the future, stay tuned and enjoy my welding and car diy videos in the meantime. Cheers!

Great video! I see you added a subwoofer AND a bass transducer. How do you find this sounds/feels? Would you recommend both? I was considering doing both, if I did one I'd do the sub though. Thanks!

@wayofthewrench 4 месяца назад

I love the audio and ssf sounds/feels on my cabinet. I would recommend using my exact set up. Remember the sub box is for base sounds coming from the music while the base shakers is the base sounds from the playfield. Thanks for the watch!

@brucep383 4 месяца назад

@@wayofthewrench thanks! Good to know. I'm building a 3/4 size cab so will need to probably go with just one bass transducer - I'll need to decide whether to place it at the front or back?! , and def the sub too. Cheers!

@rtkiiiprod 8 месяцев назад

thank you for this. Works great in VPX...but PinballX it is sporadically losing all sound. I'll need to do some digging on that.

@wayofthewrench 8 месяцев назад

You're very welcome! Wish Zi could help you but I don't use PinballX, just popper and vpx. Thanks for the watch!

@rtkiiiprod 8 месяцев назад

actually I see the issue in VPX as well. I just not had not teste thoroughly enough. I can start a table fine but when i close table and go back into same table or select another table it errors out. I posted on vpforums and am I trying to work through it@@wayofthewrench

@wayofthewrench 8 месяцев назад

if it happens in pinball x and vpx and in popper, then it could be an incorrect setup of pinvol. Try disabling pinvol and see if it still happens. if it does, it could be a wiring issue or audio component issue. Good luck.

@djdfrag 6 месяцев назад

I can't get Pinvol shortcut keys to work no matter what I try. I have tried every button combination I can think of. I can't get past your steps because im stuck at this point. They do not work in VPX when I launch a table in 10.8GL. Can you please make a video on how to get pinvol, VPX and Xpadder all working together? I can't watch your xpadder until I can get the pinvol steps working first.

@wayofthewrench 6 месяцев назад

You should be able to use your keyboard and have pinvol work. Xpadder is for getting keyboard combos to be typed when you press a button on your cab. I'd rewatch and look where something went wrong. Also turn on the pinvol volume bar when ever a button is pressed do you can for sure see that pinvol is working and not just not hearing a difference. Also future pinball doesn't work ( at least for me). Hope that helps

@mgenois 4 месяца назад

Have you found your issue, it seems like I have the same issue. Pinvol and Xpadder works in pinup popper but not in VPX 10.8 RC3 GL 64bit..

@chucksgrace3225 4 месяца назад

My biggest issue is that im not getting much from my base shakers in game (ie VPX). But when i test all the speakers, exciters, bass shakers, outside of pinaball, im getting good sound and bass from the base shakers. Just not when i start a game. Its almost like things are backwards. For example, when the ball hits the bumpers up at the top of the table, most of the ummmph and basey boom comes from the exciters and not the base shaker itself. How do i shift those sounds? Would pinvol resolve this issue? Thanks

@wayofthewrench 4 месяца назад

To be honest, most of the sounds come from the exciters. The base shakers can have a wider range sent to them though by changing the frequency cut off knob on your amp. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch!

@ProCSiCk 3 месяца назад

having an issue when the table loads pinvol lowers the volume and even if i put global vol up 100% it only goes up 60% of my master computer vol . This only happens when when table is loaded visual pinball i havnt tried any other emulators at this stage

@wayofthewrench 3 месяца назад

Sounds like your settings in pinvol for volume need changed. You can set the initial volumes for lowering volume. Try that first. Thanks for the watch!

@kdstyles1979 11 месяцев назад

Left field to your video but I can't find what I am looking for. Is there a way to set a single theme song for the whole pinup table menu? I wanted sound but I just wanted 1 song playing the whole time while in the menu.

@kdstyles1979 11 месяцев назад

@wayofthewrench Nailbusters had an article on how to rename your media file, where to place it and how to manipulate the pupMenuScript.pup file... of course make backups first. the article is background_music. the only thing im stumped on, but found a temp solution is changing the game launch audio. i tried replacing the current file, renaming what i wanted to use, the same name but it never loads. first time i tried it continued to play the ladies voice. i ended up leaving the file that left it blank and manipulated the loading graphic, adding audio to it. it works but not the way i wanted. i'll keep at it
