Compared to Zaccaria Pinball, where I can LITERALLY just turn cabinet mode on and start playing with everything in the proper position two seconds later, this is a confusing mess to me. Aside from the confusing micro-purchase options which mean the best way to really experience the game is to buy the lot in one go, I'm really liking what I've seen and find the regular detailed updates give great encouragement to the feel that this is a worthy investment, and the suggestions above would be great to see at some point.I have a simple two monitor setup, 1440p main playfield in vertical orientation and portrait mode, smaller 1080p monitor on top in landscape, forming a T shaped setup. I find the table zoom quite handy and the tables have a very satisfactory feel from what I've seen so far. Thought it a good idea to start one off for any digital pincab owners out there. I'm sure you have heard of similar suggestions in the past, though the discussion forums seem lacking in a 'cabinet mode' implementation thread, especially since the mode has been added. Will have to work out a way of stopping the cabinet one syncing down to the PC one. and after running this on both desktop and cabinet.ĥ) Because the settings file gets synced to Steam, it means my settings for playing on my PC and on my cabinet cannot be kept separate. Moving the table choice squares around means more reconfiguration! This is a minor thing, but hey, whilst I'm mentioning the others. When FX2 and TPA change the interfaces, it means reconfiguring our front-ends. The use of 'higher-level' front-end table browsing software like Pinball-X mean a standard interface, straight to tables. Can you run a table from a command-line? This would be great. But for Zaccaria at the moment, the orientation needs rotating before loading it up.Ĥ) Keeping the front-end table choice screens as static as they can be, for as long as they can be. On my cab, which I have TPA (with cabinet add-on to do this), FX2, Visual and Future pinball tables set up, they all work nicely in standard windows orientation. Integrated scoring would be absolutely amazing.ģ) Auto-rotate for cabinet mode. I have to say, the tables look fantastic on the playfield, but the lack of backglasses spoil the overall effect somewhat.Įven if the backglasses can be added without scoring at this point, sending a black screen to any other monitors, would be a major plus for this setup. After rotating my cabinet playfield orientation in Windows, my backglass monitor and DMD/scoreboard monitors have misplaced wallpaper on them, leaving the main playfield running the game itself. These tables work really well for 2P or more scoring games.Ģ) Backglasses (with scoring!). Seeing scores on tables like these really keep the competitive element going whilst playing. This means you're unsure what score you're then trying to target whilst playing - in most cases you aren't sure if you've won until the last ball has drained. The scoring as current means it's very difficult to compete whilst playing 2 player, due to the player's score disappearing very quickly after a ball drains. There are a few things that would be great additions to the cabinet mode, and I'm sure I speak for any pincab owner:ġ) Visible scoring for all players. I have had some enjoyable games on the free table and trying out the others to the score-limits, and have now bought the gold pack - it's fantastic! I'd like to report my experience of the cabinet mode so far is excellent.
