I'm sure that the millions of 360 owners,like the 100,000 plus people that play games like COD on a regular basis,would disagree with you. I certainly do!
But that is off the thread topic...so to stay on point - I also think that being able to play TPA in a cabinet properly would be awesome,mainly because of the ease of use. If you aren't computer savvy,then FP & VP is a nightmare trying to setup and maintain. That is a fact. You simply cannot dismiss ease of use.
I do hope that cabinet support for TPA does come,because that would be the driving force to make me either buy a VirtuaPin or something like it.
It's a VirtuaPin but not sure the model number.
Here's two pictures of it that I took at the 2013 Chicago Expo if that helps.

While we wait, visual pinball is taking huge steps right now. Not only dx9(and beyond), but a major physics update is in the works, and it's gonna be sweet. The early beta for the physics is incredible, so buying a cab is far from a waste (with that said, I feel your pain, DaPinballWizard)

Nothing yet. Been swamped with a bunch of other tasks. Hoping to get back to it in the next few weeks.

Maybe you could accidently slip in the DMD output support in the next update
It was half ready in January and I don't care if it only works half the time...

Actually, they had it working on their cab (on STTNG, anyway) during the Chicago Pinball Expo back in October...
Although I'm guessing their aim is to release all the cabinet features at once.

You know, that's a good point though. If at least some small part of cabinet support was released now, it would probably calm the natives a bit .

While it's great to see VP still bring improved upon its still only uses a dated 2D engine and doesnt look that impressive anymore when we've been spoilt by the likes of Future Pinball, TPA, Pinball FX and now recently Unity3D Pinball

Yeah I would much prefer a work in progress release of it, just an option in the menus to be able to enable it with a disclaimer saying it may break the game and is work in progress

Unfortunately, I have given up hope on cab support. Dead issue as far as I am concerned. They never will support cab!!
