Where Is everybody?

[William Brower]

Hello, (crickets chirping....)

Is this group sleeping?.....WAKE UP!!
Anyway, I like to talk to myself.

I just want to see what everybody is doing in the custom homebrew
pinball world these days.
I'm doing a little project with my nephews and I thought I could get a
few more ideas.
I guess I'll have to wait another month for replies.

Thanks for your time,
Bill

Hi there.

Right now I'm restoring a Gottlieb - Class of 1812 pinball machine.
After that I don't know if I start another restoration (Rocky and
Bullwinkle) or use two Canasta from Inder (Spain) to try make one :-)
and use the other for a homebrew project.

My major obstacle right now is the lack of space to work in this
things. I'm doing the restoration of the Class of 1812 in my living
room and I assure you, you don't really want to see the messy is right
now hehe.

I'm trying to find a cheap location (garage or something else) to have
space for work in better conditions.

Best regards from Portugal,
Jorge Fernandes

Very Cool, Good luck with your projects. I know that feeling "lack of space", I will I had more also. But If I had more space it would only be filled with more stuff.

Thanks Bill (or William Brower?)

Yeah if I have a better space for this things, right now I'm pretty
sure I would have the place filled to the ceiling of scrap like my
wife said :-).

After the hassle of fixing up an Eros One, I'm abandoning my original
plan to turn the Circa 1933 I bought along with it into a custom
machine. I think the Arduino-based "parasite" board idea I had for
replacing all of the 6530s and 6520s and the CPU on the original
Allied Leisure MPU/driver board would be a good idea, but right now I
don't want to look at a cocktail pinball machine for a long time. :)

On the upside, I picked up a Revenge From Mars, and as soon as I can
sell my Lord of the Rings machine (please, somebody, buy my Lord of
the Rings machine!) I'll buy a NuCore and get cracking on my fiendish
ideas for an original Pin2K game.

[William Brower]

Hunty,

How are you doing with that cocktail Pin?. I saw a few post on rgp on it. I'm sure when it done it will be pretty cool. Sounds like a rare machine also. You should post some pics on the IPBD, I searched and it was nowhere to be found on there,

Take Care,

Bill

Is NuCore supporting user-programmed games?  I was under the impression that you could use it to play existing games but I didn't know they had exposed a way to program it yourself.

I check in on their forums occasionally, and they certainly haven't
announced anything for the DIYer.

You're paying quite a premium with NuCore for the backward
compatibility. It would be nearly as cheap to just use a P-ROC and
build the cabinet from scratch if you wanted to do a custom Pin2K.
They also have a hardware dongle. =P

yeah, but at RMPS Gene was rambling about having the ability to
produce new Pin2k machines with Nucore if someone would just design
them, so my super-lofty goal is to design a really interesting Pin2k
using Nucore and convince Gene to produce a run of them. :)

Actually, my first goal is to basically make a "demo" of my Pin2k game
that can be played with a Nucore setup with an RFM playfield, so
anybody with a Nucored RFM could play the demo and hopefully get
excited enough to preorder the full game (which would have a dedicated
playfield and significantly more rules than the demo).

[Hunty]

I'm done repairing the Eros One machine. And now that I'm done with it
it's really not very fun. :( Short, wide playfield = ball bouncing
around randomly a whole lot and not spending a lot of time at the
flippers.

Well I'll admit it I have totally been asleep at the wheel on my home
brew. I have solenoid control going right now and all of my switches
wired to an ultimark board. Other then that it has been mothballed
due to pure lazyness to be honest. I moved and I have the machine set
up and ready to be worked on, but I just haven't gotten around to it.
I guess I better buck up!
