You won’t find those familiar steel balls inside this mini-pinball cabinet. That’s because [Luis’] latest creation is a fun way to play virtual pinball. The playing field is a 10″ LCD screen with an accompanying 8″ screen in the marquee. Inside the well-crafted case you’ll find a mini-ITX motherboard running HyperPin, a frontend software suite for LCD-based virtual pinball. He’s also using PinMame for the score board that was often provided by a gas plasma display on newer mechanical machines. There’s video after the break, and take a moment to check out [Luis’] other mini-cabinet builds.
What’s that you say? No substitute for the real thing? That’s exactly what [Ben Heck] thinks too.

Put Pinball Fantasies on it! :P
this is spectacular. I was trying to figure out how to do this but it looks like I was beaten to the punch. Congrats on the great build!
@entropia
what awesome software that was. But can an Amiga support dual displays?
C’est tres bon
So, where can I get mame roms?
Can anyone help me?
Very nice mini cabinets he as made!!!
I noticed on the pictures the coin slot is fake, but if it were real and if I had access to that thing, I would definitely dump some Pesetas in there!
Awesome!
this is ultra sleek, great job!
I can imagine throwing in a couple motors with off axis weights and little custom code to have haptic feedback on ball hits :D
Wow! Sweet! I’m scrapping my miniPinball hack for something that more closely resembles Luis’, totally impressed! :-)
eheh Amazing!!!
Now THAT’S how it should be done!!!
Awesome.
Beautiful work! Well done!
Just bolt a Wii remote inside & bluetooth dongle for real tilt sensing – no need for buttons to tilt the table… ;-)
Does it have TILT function if u hitting, maybe kicking the box? :D
I couldn’t care less about pinball, but that is an impressive build. It all comes together exceptionally well.
You mis-typed, it’s HyperSpin, not HyperPin
Actually, SpellingNazi, if you’d done your homework, youd’ve realized it actually is Hyperpin… Hyperspin is the frontend that controls a multitude of emulators… Hyperpin only does pinball emus…. which is what he is using. FYI.
Pure awesome!
fake
Exactly, it´s hyperpin and it´s not fake ;)
The tilt functions will come later, I have to finish the machine for this weekend for a videogames convention in Madrid made by game (gamefest)
Thank you guys!
Beautiful job man!! What was the total investment if I may ask?
