“The most fun we’ve had in the house with a virtual pinball machine” is one heck of a fiddly compliment
This would be cool to have on the bar at a pub or something. Can't really see myself playing enough pinball to actually buy one though
You should get one just to be safe though.
@@tomara2 I’m just being a dumbass
wouldnt be cool as cheap digital pins like this arte normally garbage when it comes to nuging a table as any good pin player will tell you nudging is essential to having big scores
@Toma so if a burglar breaks into your home you can smash their face with this
@Raining Blood this is the best reply
It needs more bezel. They're not big enough.
Just wanted to say…. Thanks for telling us what these items cost. The only downside to your prior videos were you never discussing cost.
Some setups you demo are amazing!!!! But at $1,000+ it ought to be. 😢
Knowing what an item costs is a huge factor in choice and I appreciate having that info right up front! ❤
Ow that carbon on the machine looks awesome !
I think we all would love to see a tear down of this pinball.
Now this is really cool. I want one
watching this video to get more info. to make my own DIY one.
Thanks for this demo. This pro unit should have a slot holder for a phone to show that separate "score display" feature you mentioned.
I could see a philanthropist donating a few of these to retirement homes. I am on the tail end of the gen-x & grew up on the East Coast of the US & every Video Arcade had just as many pinball machines as video games & just as popular, but every one I knew liked pinball more for one BIG reason, if you were good, you could play all day on one quarter, or even rack up games on a machine & sell them.
And when it came to video games I can only think of 3 games you could play all day on, Donkey King, & Pac-Man & Miss Pac-Man (with an honorable mention to Space Invaders). But most arcades would crank up their settings so high they'd be unplayable for someone new to the video games. They'd do the same involving pinball machines, by maxing out their tilt & leaving in weak flippers, or maybe installing them.
But Pinball is a truly skill based game, something not really seen in video games, unless you count memorizing what the game does is a skill.
Oh I'm so down for this one! Thankx for sharing.
This is the kind of thing that if I had I would probably use it alot because it looks like fun.
Ooh this looks cool! Thanks for the varied videos!
finally a portable pinball. I can see myself playing this while commuting
This new style of pin ball machine doesn't require servicing . No moving parts , no coins . 😊 . Your Wife can play it .
I feel a lot of nostalgia for pinball and its really declined in popularity over the years. This little thing is so cool and I really want one now!
It's been on an upswing for the last decade or so. the extremely high $ for machines make it tough to open new halls though. Lots of new tables out there these days .
wow I have a 10" android tablet and pinball apps... might have to get the $99 offering
Could you do a breakdown on this? Curious to see how everything is connected. Would be a great build.
Search for “arcade button kit”. It will give you a usb input board and buttons, you just plug the buttons into the controller board and plug the usb into a computer. The screen could just be an old laptop that you unscrewed the hinge and flipped around, or a windows tablet to be even simpler. Put it in a box and you’re done.
@@Coffee_Scroll Awesome, thanks! 👍
@@flightofapaullo72 The $99 kit actually comes with buttons and the encoder board, ooks like you just need the tablet
@Soggy Kid Cool, thanks! Thinking about building one here soon.
I just bought the Sharpin Mini last week! What great timing on this review ETA PRIME. I love mine and would absolutely recommend. I really enjoy displaying it above my desk and showing it off! It is just so unique and fun.
a HDMI out would be awesome so you could have tournaments with multiple units and output to a viewing screen for people watching.
There all amazing I just got one for my wife Xmas 🎅 🤫
These are so cool Id love to build a full size one with a black friday 42in tv
HURRAY A PINBALL REVIEW .. BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THIS . I JUST SOLD MY 22 INCH SHARPIN ULTRA TO FUND MY NEW BEELINK GTR6 , THE ZEN GAMES ARE GREAT , EXTRA TABLES ONLY COST ABOUT $2 , ALSO THE WILLIAMS COLLECTION IS A MUST PLAY , MEDIEVAL MADNESS IS SUPREME
I wonder if it would play emulators. I want to try Devils Crush on the Turbografx-16 with this, that is my favorite pinball game of all time
Great review. Thank you. I’d love to see a review of the iPad version of this. Curious how the performance is and what, if any, the differences are.
I didn't know sharpin made this kit. Good idea for someone like me who has a vpin unit but wants to play at night in the bedroom. I wish you could do a video on adding the extra screen for dmd
You should see if AtGames will send you their new Micro Pinball to review, it's pretty slick looking. Love my big Legends Pinball, but it's tempting to get a little one I could potentially drag over to a buddy's house lmao.
Initially I thought that this may be more of a gimmick but it actually looks fun for $99 and the quality seems fine.
I hope they make "Pinball controller" that can use for any tablet or tv box
I still remember the addams family pinball.
The AtGames mini pinball machine (approx $ 500- incl. handling) is then a better choice imo.
Yeah, it’s a pretty sweet little table. Not at its current price of 450 (I missed the Black Friday 339 price, so I’ll wait til it dips below 300 to consider it).
The full sized PC Virtual Pinball machines are great, even have 3D tracking of the player, that uses a X-Box Kinect , that can fool people into thinking they're real, I could see them being very popular with Boomers & Gen-X, & anyone that loves Pinball.
No they dont fool any one in to thinking they are real I played on £20k digital pinball all the latest gear it was amazing but still dont even come close to the real thing still
As a boomer who probably has played 1000's of hours of real pinball in the 80's & 90's. I don't see me ever making the complete switch to virtual pinball. I might invest in this mini-version because I am sure it could be fun too. But to each their own, I am sure there are plenty of people of all ages who would love something like this.
@@michaelmoss5476 I wasn't thinking of the mini crap, the full sized tables, that have every table ever made .... just woke up after turkey coma 5 hour nap, took me 10 mins to type this, brain isn't working, Merry Christmas!
I bet a Fire 10 would be a good ultra-budget option. Not like you need much oomph for those games.
I would love it if someone would make mods for all those old video pinball games, like Space Cadet, Epic Pinball or Pokémon Pinball to work with things like this. They would need to make them work in full screen on vertical display though.
Space cadet has been re-created in Visual Pinball X
@@RichTeaChannel Cool. Will have a look.
I'll start off by saying that I love your content. I've been following you channel for many years now. I really like this, but it'd be great it you could actually show how to build something like this from scratch. Not the physical box, necessarily, but something like an Android box that could run theses tables, controls that would work with it a so on. It might be a lot of work and not something you're too interested in though. Anyway, thanks for the great content.
Hey this looks pretty cool,it would be really cool for me to try adding duckstation for just having one of my favorite pinball games which is Power Rangers Zeo full tilt battle pinball but im not sure if that game would look alright vertically
Wish I was a kid. Would have loved to have this. They had crap when I was a kid. Mini crappy pinball machine with a few bells and bumpers. That was it.
Something like this with a 42-50" TV laying flat Infront of you, giving the view of a real pinball table, now that would be cool. I just would need the cables/buttons and I could build one...
Have a look at the one I built :)
hell yeah!!! love me some pinball
Looks great! 😁
In fact I want to build an arcade machine and have side buttons for pinball games 😅
Hopefully it's possible...
Shoooooot! Why do they do this to me? This is awesomeeeeeee
That is super cool.
please show teardown the device, I want to built one my self!
It could even double as a home assistant home remote.
Mr Prime, do you have an atgames pinball? would love to see a video on mini pcs that could power that using visual pinball.
Would have been cool to see it inside to see how the tablet is working with the usb encoders.
Justo estaba pensando hacer algo así con una tablet que compré en el 11-11, pero realmente creo que yo podría hacerlo mejor
Looney labyrinth pinball would be sweet on something like that
eta prime, do you think the SHARPIN Ultra MAX at A$1,150.00 +Delivery A$245.00 would be really worth it?
I just wish I could 3D print this and do the rest myself
Okay so what are we getting for the money here? A cheap tablet, a bit of nicely vinyl graphic'd MDF and a few standard arcade controller buttons.
This doesn't seem that great a deal but then maybe that's because it's not my jam. Do folk in the comments genuinely see this as a good product?
that’s ok. we have 100’s of pinball games on our xbox one x. they are great on a big screen. but 64gb will not hold enuff and that tiny screen is way way too small. looks fun tho.
Nintendo switch+ Sakura Etsy Pincab Is the way
Bro plz make a installation video on orange pi os droid ( android os 12) ..
That's kind of a strange chip combo. It has slower cores than my phone, but yet more RAM.
Could I use a Amazon Fire 10 Tablet with this?
In the USA…what type of tablet would you recommend to use with the $99 kit? Ideally, something from Best Buy or Amazon. Could you do custom artwork on the side and what would it have to be printed on?
would be the same an android and im sure you could put whatever artwork you want on it
*_If it doesn’t have “The Deep”, I’m not interested! LOL Greatest digital table ever made that’s unfortunately been unsupported on modern hardware. 😢_*
I haven't played a lot of digital pinball games but Pinout was a great game. Anyone know something else good to try out?
In the Video, it looks like there is a lot of input lag?
Great demo of this Vpin. Would it be possible to break this down and put it into an Arcade 1up pinball cabinet with a 32" TV? Rewire the buttons to that larger cabinet, still utilize the tablet's accelerometer. but HDMI out or something to the new 32" TV?
I'd love the option to buy/play all of those tables, but WITHOUT having to use a computer to do it. I just don't want a computer in my game room. Thanks!!!
You can just hook a switch up to the Arcade 1 up and run the pinball there, easier than the pc.
@@dademack3544 With a Switch hooked up to the A1up, you wouldn't be able to use the cab's flipper buttons (or maybe they can be rewired?). Also, the physical nudging of the cab wouldn't work (unless there's a workaround for that?). PDubs did a video where he bought 3Dprinted joycon holders that mounted to the side of the AtGames Pinball table. Cool, but he's still just using the joycons.
An awesome device that QUICKLY loses all appeal when you check out the website.
EDIT: I AM VERY INCORRECT HERE, my comment was a slight jab at the price, but ETA Prime is reviewing the SHARPIN MINI V3, which is the absolute cheapest of the lot at 100 Euro. Much more compelling. I saw the Pro Kit and was like "NO WAY for $700, I'll make my own!"
That's a pretty decent price!!
I thought so too, but the 100 Euro one is just an empty box with buttons that you plug YOUR android tablet into and use as the screen and cpu... No thanks.
@@GAGardenerKevin OH S**T! Thank you! In no way is a pinball housing worth it for 100 dollars. They made 20 dollar paddle adapters for the iPad years ago that were plenty good fun for the toy-like quality.
I think I could make something like this, but how do you get the physical buttons working on a tablet?
Its Christmas Eve... do you think I have time to get a letter to Santa?
Is there a similar adjustable arcade machine with an android tablet and controllers on it, where you can turn your game into an arcade game, and its better to have chips/coins slot in the machine to make money out of it, im a game developer and i would love to put my game into an arcade machine and put it in a mall or something like that
google app store removed pinball arcade
Any lag when hitting Button to react with Padel ?
I would buy this if it came with the games, downloading and purchasing it with real $, (not all games are free) not worth it when I spent over 200$. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Nice
But can it play space cadet?
DMD is not the same as a backgalss they are two diffrent things in the pinball world and should never be confused as one as all pins have a back glass but not all pins have a DMD.
Is nice but screen very smol
But can it run GeForce Now?
This would cost next to nothing to make yourself ,I built an arcade cab for 70 UK. Pounds
I just dont like the screen moving with the ball.
Way too expensive…😢 Wait…I was looking at the ultra pro whatever model 😅
So much bezels
I know right, they fucked up.
Pinball X
nAh !
To small. I stick with pinball FX3 on my pc if I want to play digital.
pinball arcade is dead...that's the main reason I might want this...now I'll pass.
I hate No Backbox, it's not for me
Cool but Pass. Only an actual real original pinball machine counts 🥇
Doesn't work with Amazon Fire tablets. Booo
Prices are insanely Poor
Overpriced for what it is.
Yeah but... plunger.
Its really cool but you have to buy the app if i am not wrong
Way too much. You can buy an AtGames pinball for this much or even their micro pinball offering and be better off.
N0 sir - I don't like it!
Horrible product. Not worth your money or time.
No plunger, no thanks
I think only Gen Zs will remember these in the originalform and not so appealing to the newbies lol. I like it but damnded if I'm gonna pay for any apps mind. 🤪
Vpinball is free but you will pay for it in hours setting it up. You’re going to pay either way 😂
Meh, zen is a rubbish pinball sim. Its a shame FarSight Studios Pinball Arcade lost the rights to produce a real sim to pinball
Super lame.
Can you give me one mini pc or one laptop please
Of course not.
Get a job like everyone else
Absolutely not.
Hi ETA :-) Would a current-gen (usb-c) ipad work for the box as well? And if so, is it easy enough to take the tablet in and out, or is it pretty permanent?
Hi! The issue is with the iPad not being compatible with the USB encoder for the buttons. The encoder supports Android/PC. Otherwise the tablet slides in and out easily.
Hi, there is a version for ipads on the Sharpin website as well.
@@gadgetforce6091 hey hey! They must've just released this. Good to know!
