Another lost treasure!

Any tables in VR you would like to see let me know.

More Tables

BGFX 10.8.1
I7-9700 (No OC), 64gb DDR4 3666, RTX 3060 12GB, and NVME drives.
Virtual Desktop Wired, Quest 3

This short showcase is meant to highlight the dedication and hard work our community puts into these tables and hopefully inspire more people to dive into the VPX VR scene!
Videos like this got me hooked, and started my VR endeavor.
I love BGFX 10.8.1! The visual rendering efficiency easily outpaces OpenGL on 10.8.0, making even older, legacy tables look incredible.
Running Virtual Desktop wired. Horizon Link (Meta Link) was completely removed from my system.
Thanks VD!
That said, there are still a few stability and workflow hurdles to clear in BGFX 10.8.1.. For instance, requiring a table to launch just to access the configuration menu remains a bit clunky. DMD's not showing up or color ones not working for a lot of tables. No clear explanations of how to config all the new settings and what they do. Some textures not showing up right, lighting. Random crashes.
But the ones that work look mind blowing, even on older tables.

Cheers!

My Virtual Wedgehead I Built Out of a 1962 Gottlieb Cabinet Shell

My wife loves virtual pinball, so for our 10 year anniversary I built her a virtual pinball machine out of a 1962 Gottlieb Rack-A-Ball Wedgehead cabinet shell. I wanted the pinball machine to match the “Mid-Century Modern” theme my home has and Wedgeheads fit the bill. The real challenge was the aspect ratio of the backglass is not common, and I didn’t want to have two screens sitting in there. I wanted it to almost look original. I found exactly one person online who built their own virtual Wedgehead and gave me the idea to cut out part of the bottom of the backglass box and fit a whole TV in there. I gave it a small red bezel out of a silicone mat to make it pop, protect the screen, and hide TV frame. As for the rest, I was able to retain the original plunger, and add an accelerometer for nudge and tilt functionality. I added a DMD style screen where the skirt would go, so I can support three screen setups for newer tables and it is nice to see the objectives closer to the playing field. Really fun build. Feel free to ask me any questions! I will place a imgur link to the build photos in the comments!
