no idea and the question there is, without money. If you put to minitord in a cab, one for reels, one for “play field” it would be possible, what you’d need to do is send pixels XYZ (reels) to monitor one, and abc (play field) to monitor 2, I don’t know if that’s how VPINX works, but as a dedicated bit of kit, I’d imagine it has in-built output selectors for each element (PF,backbox, DMD) - if not then some people on here ( Holder etc.) will be one step closer to this kind of setup, however as I say, I’m sure VPINX probably pre codes it and sends each element to defined screen.Īs for a coin mech, payout calculator, pffffft. The button to pc input but surely is simple enough, the fruit machine emu’s must have button presses, that can corrspond to buttons, your issue might be on games that have “special” buttons such as DOND, or each way nudges, HOWEVER, the emu software must be able to internalise this, so buttons can be located on the cab somewhere and act as buttons for this, you just can’t specify what does what on a game specific basis. not that I’m technically savvy enough to pull it off.

Is absolutely in the realms of possibility.

Would of course be willing to pay for the project and wanting to buy the finished machine. Way beyond my skills so I was wondering if anyone technically inclined was interested in this type of challenge and fancied taking on such a project. I have posted my idea on one of the fruit machine forums and someone has done something similar but not quite what I had in mind as they didn't use the machine buttons for input and was not dissimilar enough to just playing on PC. Would probably have to use an old fruit machine cabinet from 90s/00s one for cost although a Line Up type size would be best. So had the idea of a virtual fruit machine cab very similar to the full size visual pinball tables but using a real fruit machine cabinet and using the original buttons from the machine to control the inputs but with two monitors, one on the bottom, one on the top part to show what would have been displayed on the original fruit machines I know you can play these on the PC using emulators (and I have some) but wanted a more authentic feel. Having been an avid arcade visitor in the 80s, aside from the love of pins and classic videos I also used to play the fruit machines so have a fondness for revisiting playing these.
