- This project started in February and I have been shooting videos since, therefore I repeat myself a lot. I tried to put the bits and pieces together so they can make sense. Anyways, this is my review of Game Room Solution’s Vpinball 43” cabinet. Enjoy!

I started this video and couldn’t stop watching. Incredible build. I am a newbie and love getting inspiration from videos like this. So well done!
Thanks for watching
Thanks for your video. I’ve only watched a small portion of it so far but from what I’ve seen so far, it looks like you took GRS’ basic cabinet and really added a lot to it. Your table looks awesome and seems to have a lot more than just your basic VPX setup. I plan to watch the rest of the video later and take notes, as I’m planning something similar for my build for next year. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions on GMS’ cabinet. As others have said, you’re inspiring others of us to take our proposed or existing tables even further.
SUPER SUPER SUPER! Love the shimmering lights! Love the form factor. I always have my keyboard on my glass. Nice to have a spot to do that.
I literally have paused and used this video more then any of the instructions game room solutions could provide. If you ever plan on taking a vacation to NYC. Im 10 minutes from Manhattan, and about 10 min from newark airport.
Id pay 1k for your help finishing my cabinet off. Really just need someone to set up a full rgb setup. I own like 5 different controller boards, the tinted track's , a bunch of matrixs, speaker rings etc lol. Its honestly probably an hour job total. If you know anyone in this area who also can setup the rgb's like you the offer stands for them also
I have been following you for the longest, you are an exceptionally talented young man, your videos help so much.
Thanks
Nice job!! You've invested a lot of hours in this project and it shows.
This is awesome!! Thank you for sharing.
Nice work! 👍🏻 Love seeing what people come up with, hear about their builds and journey to get it up and running.
So glad pinball made a comeback.
I just ordered from RECROOM world full size 7.0 model with everything on it.
Just don’t have the time to build.
I can tell your quite handy, insanely good looking cabinets
Super cool bro! Congrats on a bada$$ build. It looks great. :) Im a fan
This is awesome. I've had just a 32 inch tv (as my backglass) and a 40" tv (as my playfield) and a pindmd3 dmd for the past 2 years and really need a box to put it in. Initially was looking at recroommasters but they're gone now so I've been looking at GRS. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Nice work! Very impressive
Wow, that is the coolest table I've ever seen. I love all the music. I'd pay $5g for a table like that. Absolutely beautiful, congratulations!
Thanks. If u are willing to pay that much then check xtremegamingcabinets.com.au/presta17/
Unreal! Great job. I've been debating getting one of these to go with my recroommasters arcade cab. Thanks for the great review.
If you get one and need help reach out! Thanks for watching
@@tekkamanblade2244 going to order the rev 3 design soon but can't decide if I should get the light cuts for the side and back. If I get the light cuts the playfield will be flat and not at an angle. Is that a big deal? I'm not sure if it looks or feels any different while playing.
@@bengruett458 get the cuts. Leds will reflect a bit regardless if they are angled or not.
@@tekkamanblade2244 awesome. Thank you! I had just heard some people say regardless of the lights they like having the playfield at an angle and some people say it doesn't matter.
Sorry for all the questions but I finally pulled the trigger and got one. For the playfield monitor you showed the vesa screws do not fit the grs design so I am just curious how/what you used to mount the playfield?
Been researching the Game Room Solutions cab. Your cab looks amazing! It does look like GRS has a V3 of this cabinet that let you have pre-cut channels for the LED matrix and for the light strips along the playfield, and comes with the dark plex to cover them. They also sell a topper as well. Would probably have saved you some headache.
You are 100% correct😅
Beautiful
Awesome video.. I have one coming. Where did you get the main under cab power switch?
Great vid lots of helpful tips. Few questions,Do you know if tempered glass will fit or is an option? And would it be possible to put the play field screen on an hinge like other cabs? Also a small suction cup might come in handy for the plexi sag.
I do not know if a standard size glass and rails would fit, but I would be lying if I told you I wasn't curious. It isn't an option available through GRS when ordering. You can make and install your own hinge. I don't see why not.
So impressive! Thank you for sharing. Is there a place where the collective Roms and tables are established with a UI? Or is this a search and store effort that occurs over time?
Also, what UI are you using to shuffle through all of the different pinball solutions?
You download each table, backglass, and media individually. It is not a simple drag and drop like normal emulators ie MAME. The UI is called Pinup Popper. All are available on vpuniverse.com. Nailbuster’s wiki and youtube channel have many tutorials.
Stream deck was brilliant!
You think so!? Thanks! I actually suggested this add-on to a big company that manufactures vpins and they were actually butt-hurt for the suggestion
@@tekkamanblade2244 I love the dynamic programmability of them and sure pinball popper is nice but I find myself reaching for a keyboard pretty frequently for hot keys. Easily fixed. Further, want to record? Boom. Want to live stream the game? Boom. Want to set the lighting in the whole game room? Boom. Getting too hot in a long session? Change the temp! Boom. Brilliant.
I think I’m in love
nice I just ordered a cabinet how long did it take come in never mind 4 to 5 days great video
How I can download the "ninja turtles Virtua pinball game" for PC??, Also where do you get the ninja turtles graphics??
Pinball game is located at VPU. Graphics I found doing an on-depth Google search
Do you find the led's around the tv distracting at all? I'm looking into building with GRS and debating getting the channels or not.
No, I don't. U can always disable them or turn the intensity/brightness down. Get the channels. Is better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Hi, who many money u despend in thid pinball machine? Just cabinet was 700?
Was it hard to make the cuts for the stream deck mini, so it fit in there nice and snug and flush in the apron? Thx
It was not. Measure twice, cut once. Use scrap wood for a practice run.
Just a random Popper DOF question. In your video, DOF pops on automatically when u enter pinup popper and when u exit a game, popper automatically kicks back on (usually within 5-7 seconds). However for me, the only way DOF kicks on in popper, is only after i've hit a flipper key. Then it works just fine. Not sure if there is something I need to do differently in my popper settings or cabinet.xml to get that to work. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
You r the second person that tells me that. I honestly dont know why DOF behaves like that for some. I didnt do anything special with my set up besides what I found during my research/ set up phase.
Question. I just purchased the same launch ball button. Could you just remove the prongs all together? I don't see what function the prongs even serve. I'm just curious why you would need to cut holes for the prongs and couldn't just remove them all together. Thanks
I don't see why you couldn't. U definitely can. I guess the prongs serve to prevent the button from shifting.
What size screws did you use to mount the switches on the coin door?
I think 1/2” wood screws I had laying around
This is all brand new to me. Looking to get this same cabinet. Did you do anything to add on the vibration/solenoids? Curious about adding that on.
Yes I added solenoids and a shaker motor. Search YT for Major Frenchy
@@tekkamanblade2244 Last question, how sturdy is their framework?
@@goikicks its pretty good 7/10
Before you loaded up popper. How did you get that to countdown from 10?

Super boulot 👍👍 il y a goldorak et le maître de l'univers en flipper
If you don’t mind sharing how much would you say this build cost in terms of purchased parts including the monitors ? I am debating if a build vs buying one. Great job on all the effort and detail you provided. Thank you
About 4k
@@tekkamanblade2244 😮
I finally finished mine bro, it came out sick. I chose not putting the back of the backbox on. I wasn't screwing anything into my t molding. Plus I like to have quick access if I had to.
One thing, bro how to do you get the plexiglass on and off? Have you found any tricks or tips to slide it into place? Because I basically have to take one side out of its track and have it above the groove. Then I push the plexiglass towards fhe backbox as much as I could. Then I bend and push down on it and it slides down and almost pops into place when it hits the groove. But it always comes lose because the wood under the apron moves . I was hoping you figured out a better way. I even considered using a fish hook or something to pull up the center back of the plexiglass.
I'm gonna do a glass mod. I like cleaning my screen almost daily and can't because dealing with the plexiglass is a nightmare! Lol
Not really. The only way I knw how is like I describe in my vid.
@Jersey Johnnys' Electronics & Entertainment I had the same issue with an arcade cab. I hate the plexi. I want to come up with a mod where I can just use glass. The plexi shows every little scratch.
@@gmee123 I got the glass kit, but haven't purchased the glass yet. I wish someone would help me make it so that my doflinx.ini lights would work with fx3, zaccaria, pinballFX etc. But nobody will help me. Lol my 2 strips of 144 lights in my two rails, I have two 6led rings per speaker. I dont like that ugly speaker cutout that they give us so I just bought speaker covers , cut out those ugly speaker cutouts, and put the 6 rings under the speaker covers as matrix instead of underneath cabinets.i have Two 9 ring speaker leds for my undercabinet. My flasher bar , solinoids, beacons, gear motor and shaker motor all work In fx3 but none if my directoutput config31 which is what the online tool named my zebs board. All the zebs board leds, all work in vpx, future pinball ball and in pinuppopper.
But none of the leds work for Any of the other emulators.
The online config tool is the one that created a directoutputconfig31.ini
I have both .ini files Inside in my directoutput folder, and in the config folder also. But like I said it works fine for vpx, future pinball,.and my pinup popper. I want it to work with everything
Where can i get the led speaker covers ? Ive been looking everywhere !!
I made them
Thanks for posting, learned a lot from this video. The plexiglass sagging in the middle is frustrating, had the same pain. I'm using boards made by Arnoz, he sells them from France. They are modular and come with built-in fuse boxes, resistors, and mosfets. May I email you some questions if you have time?
Sure ! Im always willing to help
Alright! So what's next on your list? Doing a racing sim or cab anytime soon? :)
@@arthurm7029 thought about it but as you can probably tell from my video I have no room lol. I'm going to upgrade the arcade cab next actually
Hey man, was hoping you could do me a favor. I recently got a similar setup as you regarding your speaker LED rings. I have one 8 led, one 16 led ring, 24 led ring and one 35 led ring (on both sides) so 166 leds total, but can't figure out why they're not lighting up once I start popper or a vpx game. Any chance you could share your cabinet.xml file? Thx
Sure, email me
@@tekkamanblade2244 Thx just did
I have the same monitor for the playfield. How did you remove those metal mounting brackets for the stock stand?
I didnt
@@tekkamanblade2244 how did you mount it then? GS mount is terrible and doesn’t fit well at all. I’m drilling holes in the mount to get it to screw in the monitor. Those metal feet push it up a lot.
@@HeHateMe36 I'm not sure what u are referring to. If you are talking about the two individual metal pieces on the the back, I measured and cut the panel in that area so it would clear.
@@tekkamanblade2244 That’s exactly it. Thank you! My hunch was to cut out grooves for those metal pieces. But wanted to ask you the question since you’ve been through it before with the same monitor. Great cabinet took a lot of inspiration from your build. Cheers
@@tekkamanblade2244 just complete cutting and dropped her in. That was a pain in the ass. I’m never taking that monitor out if I can help it lol
I need help with getting pinup popper
nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=install_guide
What is the specs and name of your PC? This build is freakn awesome
Hi! Thanks! Its just a normal pc from SAMS club.
CyberPowerPC - Gamer Master - Desktop - AMD Ryzen 7 5700 Processor - 16GB Memory - 500GB NVMe SSD + 1TB HDD - GeForce RTX 3060 - Windows 10 Home
Where did you get the tint done for the plexi?
Did it myself
I have the old model. I didn’t like the plexi that came with it so I just use it without one. You gave me some good ideas for improvements. Thanks.
@PK , how is it without the plexi? Im actually overwhelmed and i been doing builds for years. I have ptsd and dealing with game room solutions literally made me have a episode. Supposedly this new model was supposed to be easy to take the plexi out and work on the machine. I have the cabinet put together and there was nothing that told me to install it so now i don't know what to do.
To top it off i just got the coin door and it came in the box with pieces everywhere. No instructions. The coin buttons dont light up, and i dont even know how to set them up to work as add coin buttons.
Is there a game room solutions forum for help?
@@JerseyJohnnysElectronicsGaming I'm not sure on the new model, but the old one the plexi came with black borders which I didn't like. I honestly like it better without the plexi. My coin door came intact, but they do not light up you would have to add lights like Tekkaman did. I'm in the process of doing that now. I've had no problems with them. I'm going to order another arcade cab when I move into a bigger house.
Any chance you'd be willing to share your Playlist media (ie. Horror, kids, Marvel, Just added, favs, etc.)? Thanks
Most of them are available at VPU just need to do a good search
@TekkamanBlade I found most of them but I think you mentioned you did some cool custom ones like the kids and Marvel playlist. Was hoping you could share. If not no worries.
@@chucksgrace3225 the kids pl is on vpu under username yannielbory. Marvel might not be there, if not email me.
@@tekkamanblade2244 Just sent you an email. Thanks again man
all said and done ,how much is your pinball machine worth in total $$$ if you where to sell it right now
Idk $5-6k maybe
yah that's what i thought, in the many thousands , way to much for my small wallet , maybe in the far future i can get one , but man good for you your pinball machine rocks , thank you for answering my question cheers .
Don't know if it's been asked but can you sent me the link for the art
I just googled it and used photoshop
the coindoor ruins it imho
sorry to be that guy but that just looks wrong
It's all good. We are entitled to our opinions :)
I don’t trust cam lock systems. After a couple years my GRS cabinet started coming loose and in the end just sort of fell apart trying to tightening over and over again. I can’t imagine how long their pinball cabs will last with all the movement you will make with it. Let’s not forget their customer service. Pretty much a mixed bag of opinions about it. My ordering experience was fine but Josh(?) from GRS during my follow up questions was a total douche. I had scratches on my shipped plexiglass for my cab and after sending him a number of emails with pics of the damage asking for a follow up and a replacement he finally got back to me weeks latter and said I should have let him know right away. He claimed I never sent him earlier emails even though I could prove it. After much back and forth he basically told me to go to my local hardware store and get a new one since I couldn’t prove it.
Hey bro , I finally finished my build. I'm using OLEDs and it looks amazing . The lg oled42c2 to be exact.
Bro I'm offering anyone $1,000 if they could come setup my light system like yours. So far no takers in the nyc area
Lost me at a flat playfield
Button is not pronounced “buddon” just saying
I DONT KNOW, if anyone found one, but I found all the parts for a full glass cover mod for anyone wirh a game room solutions mod. I placed the order yesterday.
I'm getting eveything in gloss black. Can you contact me on messenger?
