    Zen Pinball FX3 Williams Pinball Volume One

    Speaking of flipper gaps, anyone remember the TPA flipper gap fiasco in MM? I don't think they ever really got it right, and truthfully it does feel just a wee bit more narrow in FX3 (there are balls that I felt would've drained for sure in TPA, but were save-able in FX3). We'd have to compare...

    FX3 X-Arcade Nudging Script + Menu Navigation

    I know there are other X-Arcade Pinball FX3 users out there, so thought I would share the custom script I created to enable your extra side buttons for nudging, and it will also allow you to navigate the menus with your joystick as well. By default, these two extra buttons are L and R mouse...

    RESOLVED: FX3 Crashing or Choppy on Your Laptop?

    Gonna go ahead and unsticky this thread, but I'll leave it open just in case any other related issues pop up. Cheers to Zen for fixing this.

    BlahCade #149: Zen Studios Interview With Mel Kirk

    Agreed, they do work well. Just saved a couple outlane drains in my last game of FX3, so that felt pretty good. I'm just using the X-Arcade model that comes stock with 2 buttons on each side, so nothing custom or modified. Would be cool if there was a way to mod in rumble, but I doubt it's...

    BlahCade #149: Zen Studios Interview With Mel Kirk

    Motion nudge and rumble would be awesome indeed. Those are the two things I lack with my setup. Thankfully I at least have the extra side buttons for nudge. Let us know how it goes, dude. It’s great that you know someone who’s handy with woodworking and what not.

    BlahCade #149: Zen Studios Interview With Mel Kirk

    That would be a sweet setup! I actually tried to find an arm that could hold a 55”, but it was just too heavy lol. I now have a spare 42” TV that I could use to make a proper cab, but after 20 years of sitting down while playing pinball due to my back injury, I actually prefer playing in...

    Is this with the new Zen physics or Classic arcade?

    BlahCade #149: Zen Studios Interview With Mel Kirk

    Great interview, boys. Finally got around to listening (I’m always late to the party heh). Really awesome of Mel to come on the show. Seems like a great dude. The future is looking bright for us pinball nuts.

    It does feel a bit different. Plus now the ball only bounces 4 inches off the flipper from a forward nudge instead of 6 inches! lol

    RESOLVED: FX3 Crashing or Choppy on Your Laptop?

    That’s great to hear! From today’s patch notes: “The integrated video card crash issue should be remedied” Looks like we might be able to close the case on this one. I’ll leave it open for now, but it’s looking like Zen nipped it in the bud.

    Zen Pinball FX3 Williams Pinball Volume One

    Fair points. I guess the big difference for me this time around is that pretty much everything I want is in the game already which demonstrates Zen’s professionalism and drive to me, whereas with Farsight I always felt dangled along by a carrot of hope for game features (multiplayer, tournament...

    haha, keep it on your pants, hairy! kolchak, does it run MAME games too?

    Zen Pinball FX3 Williams Pinball Volume One

    All I can say is that after 6 years of TPA, this is the freshest breath of air I’ve had since 2012. No offense, but it kinda feels like you’re just grasping at straws to try to cast doubt on Zen’s motives, business practices, etc. I admittedly haven’t paid all that much attention to them in...

    Oh nice, it looks like a PSP clone, which brings back fond memories.

    Yeah, that’s why I said “however”. The castle shot felt more realistic before this update. Now it feels tamed down and safer.

    Time to change the tablet... Any advice?

    As an iPad Pro 12.9" owner, can't say I'd really recommend it. The screen is great, of course, but as time goes on, I've become less and less a fan of iOS. Random crashes and freezes are pretty common, which can be beyond frustrating...not to mention Apple's general policies... I've recently...

    Been testing MM a bit and the ramps feel pretty realistic now. However, the castle shot no longer feels dangerous like it did before.
