That's looks really nice. I have one I built few years ago running VPX. Not sure if you have nudge sensor, but I made a simple one with an arduino uno, and an accelerometer sensor for about $20, works pretty well. I love your decals, awesome job. Game on!
Hey thx, I would love to see your machine!
Since it is a low-cost project, I had to discard a lot of gimmicks. A coin door and a plunger would also be nice. I experimented a little with the nudge. I mapped a wii mote with antimicro for this. My PoC has shown that it should work, but not yet very reliably in terms of direction. So strictly speaking it's more of a tilt bob. I may install a solution later. Nudge, ambient light, ... if only there weren't so many other things going on.
 
i did some tinkering over the winter and somehow managed to fulfill my dream of a pinball machine, even if it didn't turn out to be a mechanical one. it was fun to overcome all the minor hurdles. Since most of the parts are second-hand, were lying around at my place, or came from bulky waste, I only invested ~200$ in total.
That's amazing for $200
 
I picked up a GunCon 2 today :wub: I didn't had one yet. And it came with a PS2, 8MB memory card and a DualShock 3 controller (yes, a PS3 controller, it was connected to the USB of the PS2). All for 20 euros :)

All these devices do work :D Although the DS3 needs 2 new thumb caps, which I already have lying in a box.

The PS2 is a SCPH-50004 and reads DVD games and audio CDs without problems, suggesting the laser is ok :) I think it's not modchipped (backups gives the red screen), but I have a used Modbo 5.0 chip lying around ^_^

But first, all this needs a good cleaning, it's very dirty :lol:

In the pictures of the seller it showed a silver DS3 controller as well, but I was too focused on the GunCon 2 that I just overlooked the missing silver DS3. Back in the car I saw it, but it was late in the evening, the guy who packed this was not home and I was alone, so I decided to not going back.
 
I bought a DualShock 4 controller for $17 which looked like the official from AliExpress and I knew it'd be a fake, but that could fool some people who don't know any better. Just opened a claim for a refund.

These days, I just prefer PS4 controllers with a USB-C port like these ones:

Ordered an 2230 SSD nvme for my steam deck. The item arrived this morning but the inside packaging was empty....... Amazon won't help me till 72 hours has passed... Then I'd have to wait another 7 days for the refund......

Why are you torturing yourself with these knock-offs? Do you hate yourself?

Haha, no.

I actually really like that DS5 fake as it feels so good and if $ony had made the official DS5 compatible with PS4 I'd have bought it.

And the see through controller is really good too and compatible with various devices as expected.

fr, they should've made it backwards compatible like they did with making the DS4 backwards compatible with the PS3
