    WMS License - Speculation Thread

    Hear, hear, I totally agree. I’ve been a long time “investor” in Farsight, from the PHoF days via Crave on PS2 (2004), PS3 (2007), PSP, Wii, iOS, and since the licensing change, Steam, so that I could better future-proof my access. I missed the ST:TNG and TZ Kickstarters (wasn’t even aware of...

    Arcooda - prompting for Key again. Anyone else?

    I’ve had this too - when starting the DX11 version after previously running the Arcooda cab version my playfield starts on my backglass monitor, and once even on my DMD monitor. I couldn’t get any Windows 10 key combination to move the field. But then I noticed a thin blue vertical line at the...

    Arcooda - prompting for Key again. Anyone else?

    Just now tried to start cabinet mode, and got the Enter Key screen. Entered the key twice, came back “Failed” both times. Once I removed the Arcoodainfo.dat file and re-entered the key it worked. So, evidently the server, if it was down, is now back up. And other folks besides me will need...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    How to pay in USD via TransferWise I know we are close to the deadline, but in case this helps anyone, I talked with TransferWise and figured out how to do a transfer to Arcooda's Hong Kong bank in USD, rather than HKD. Note that I used TransferWise both because physically getting to my bank...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    I will get back to the thread with their reaction to my receipt. I re-read the emails to me from both Josifovski's (Valentina and Steve) and neither explicitly advised about US$ vs HK$, so I am very curious although I am willing to make up any difference in a later payment. My deposit is in...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    Correct, with TransferWise an ACH debit is used to move money from your account, in whatever currency, into one of their accounts that is local to you (in your country). In my case, from their paperwork my $1500 was moved via ACH into their Wells Fargo corporate account in the US. Once received...

    Poll For Those Purchasing An Arcooda Cabinet

    Thanks! The Ultra looks very sweet indeed, can't wait. Plus I'll finally have a nice set of joysticks, buttons, a good sound system, and a 4K display to make trying out MAME worthwhile (Pengo, here I come). Back in 1983 or 1984 I bought a refurbished Centaur from Bally for $850 (they still...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    I pulled the trigger also, thanks to all for the helpful information posted here and for asking questions at Arcooda’s FaceBook page. Because of my situation this week physically getting to my bank to do the wire transfer was going to be an issue. I tried Xoom but they will only wire to...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    Yeah. I know they must be neck deep in software issues, discussions with their legal staff, and loads and loads of e-mail. But promising FAQs, videos, and other answers by certain deadlines, consistently missing those announced deadlines, springing last minute surprises like asking for...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    Heads up - hardware purchase requires international wire transfer Just a heads up for potential US purchasers of an Arcooda cabinet. Their updated ordering info went up over the weekend (https://www.arcoodapinball.com/), but you still need to submit an inquiry via e-mail or their web form. I...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    Ah, that’s right, forgot about the touchscreen. Thanks to hlr53, maybe this is the 43” touch overlay that goes on top of some LG 43” 4K monitor: http://www.lg.com/us/business/commercial-display/displays-tvs/digital-signage/lg-KT-T430

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    I had sent Arcooda a number of questions, including about the 4K monitor. Here’s what they told me: At the moment we are going with LG 4K industrial panels which are being used in amusement machine production. Whilst we have been testing different panels over these last months, we will finalise...

    Arcooda announced their pricing!

    I had been looking at VirtuaPin’s offerings, both their kit-build units and their fully assembled. The Ultra from Arcooda at $6499 is very competitive with the $6250 Extreme UltraWidebody. Steel instead of maple, i7-8700 instead of i5-6600, 256 GB SSD and 1 TB rotating disk vs 500 GB rotating...

    Comment by 'zdjh22' in article 'Cabinet Mode for TPA via Arcooda Software'

    Really neat indeed. Folks should be aware, though, that Microsoft stopped production of 3D Kinect for XBox in October 2017. You can still find them I believe at some retailers, but mostly you’ll find just refurbished units on EBay and the like. I just ordered a refurbished unit myself in case...

    Buying IOS tables before WMS/Bally license expires: my dilemma

    From playing FS/Crave tables on PSP and then PS2 and PS3 (what, about a decade ago, jeez I am getting old), I got addicted to using a gaming controller with joystick nudging and of course triggers for the flippers. On iOS I eventually did a jailbreak so I could use one of my PS3 controllers with...

    iOS - Bug Bluetooth controller (Nimbus) no longer works on new version (7.10.5)?

    Confirmed, works here too. Thanks FS! The good news, in my need for controller-operated TPA I finally tried the Steam version on my laptop and was amazed at the lighting magic in the DirectX 11 version. And I dug out an old gaming LCD and ran portrait mode at 1080P - awesome. And then on my 4K...

    iOS - Bug Bluetooth controller (Nimbus) no longer works on new version (7.10.5)?

    I updated PA today on my iPad to 7.10.5, and now it doesn’t seem to find my Nimbus Bluetooth controller. Is anybody else having this problem? If not, did you have to change any settings? I’ve always had iCade set to “iPad” but have no idea if that is relevant.
