Where to download free pinball machine decals?

[ciaomao]

Hello,

I'm looking for templates to print them out and stick them on my virtual pinball machine.
Unfortunately I can't find any good free sources. Can any of you help with a link?
Ready-made sticker sets cost 150~250$, more than the rest of my pinball BOM.

Similar like: https://pinballdecalseu.com/wp-cont...r-side-art-pinball-cabinet-decals-artwork.jpg
but in high-res, or at least in a usable quality.
...I found some at VPuniverse, but just a few.

Thanks!

Here's what I did with my Arcade, not pinball but same concept. I find pictures of what I want and put them on a thumb drive, or CD. Try to get the highest resolution you can find of each pic. I also designed a banner with my name which made it custom. Measured the size of each area for each picture and noted it for each picture. Then I went to a copier store (Kinkos) and had them print them out for me, high quaility on vinyl. I then used vinyl glue when placing them on the arcade machine. Was still around $75 US (Banner, sides, front, playfield, and monitor bezel) but still cheaper than buying online. Good luck!

cool, would you mind to share a picture of machine? I am looking more for a picture source than a possibility to print them, as I hope our office printer is good enough.

I don't have pics of my arcade cabinet on this pc, but you can google "Mame Arcade Cabinet" and see plenty. You can also search "Pinball Machine Decals" and see plenty.

sure, I was curious about yours. the issue is that those random search results usually have a low-res.

Maybe I'll be happy with one of the few I've found. Here is an example.

Yep or you can always just make your own with photoshop/ paint3d/ etc. Good luck!

Have you used "Visual pinmame" and "Virtual pinball cabinets" in your searches? There seems to be a promising forum here: https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=26497

For those chiming in about cabinets, there is a place I can't *directly* link to here because of the rom torrents, but it has a torrent for "MAME 0.261 EXTRAs" on github.io... place called pleasuredome (and if you are unfamiliar with that name, I know it sounds sus, but I promise it isn't porn... lol

EDIT: Oh, and it looks like they also have a full Visual Pinball set as well as Future Pinball (and I'm not familiar with that one).

thanks a lot, i already know vpforum. i forgot to mention that unfortunately i can't get an account at this place. i have already burnt two email addresses. but the confirmation email for registration never arrives. not in the spam folder or anywhere else. funnily enough, i have the identical problem with a second pinball forum. vpuniverse went smoothly and also i have no known email problems. crazy. i tried to follow your other tip, but i only came across pinball software and metadata for individual roms. i'll do a test print with my previous image soon when the foils arrive. maybe it's good. otherwise i'll go searching again with your keywords. thanks again.

for visual pinball stuff, there is a table editor (VPE). So the artwork you want is in the pinball table files themselves. Open a table in the editor and you can extract the images, modify them, create your own tables... if you have the time and are into that sort of thing. So "Visual Pinball editor" is another thing for you to google. If you use Unity, there is an editor using that as well https://github.com/freezy/VisualPinball.Engine
