Hyperpin Virtual Pinball Part 2/3

Here's the second installment of my Hyperpin Virtual Pinball project. Now it's time for painting and electrical. I decided to paint it semi-gloss black for the outside and flat black in the inside. I used Bosny spray paint in cans.  I used Polituff for my filler. It's usually used in cars because it's stronger and more durable. I didn't imagine this to be this heavy it's because of the mdf wood that i used. The good side in using mdf wood is that i doesnt needs too much sanding because it's already smooth but the bad part is it's so heavy. I drilled all the holes for the button and the fans and smooth the edges before painting. I think I used up 10 spray cans in all of this. I didn't paint primer I just directly sprayed layers of paint until its pitch black.

Grills for the exhaust fan.

This are aluminum lock guide for the acrylic bezel.

I tried fitting the backglass LCD monitor and it fits like a charm. I also put 3 X 10 watts flourescent bulbs to backlight my customized bezel.

Looking good!

This is my keyboard encoder called the ipac. The I-PAC (Interface for Pc to Arcade Controls) is a board which allows connection of arcade controls such as buttons and joysticks to a keyboard port or USB port on a PC motherboard. It was designed around the MAME emulator which supports over 1000 arcade games and can be used with other emulators. Here's the link for the website ULTIMARC

I decided to put led lights in the top and at the back so it will look beautiful in the dark and to have that authentic arcade feel.

LED Lights

I mounted the switch for the fans, LED lights and the backlight for the bezel on top of the back box.

This what the top looks like in the dark.

I also installed a sound controller for the led lights so it will react to the sound of the pinball game.

I labeled it for easy troubleshooting in the furture.

Please wait for the last part of my project. Feel free to ask if you have some questions. I will post videos of the pinball in action. Thanks for viewing!
