pinball emulators?

krayzielilsmoki

Are there any pinball games that can be played on the raspberry pi?

Somebody out there must be playing some pinball on this... I need to know if I should wire extra buttons on the side or not, and if so, what buttons do the bumpers primarily use so that I can wire them up correctly?

I am curious about this as well.

I found a couple of pinball games in SNES and Genesis but they are low quality games. I'm hoping that there are better quality games that somebody would actually want to play.

I think there were pinball games on the ps1 too but thats probably as good as youll get it i think. As far as realism goes its a reason the pi mainly focus on emulating these older games. You would need much better than this sadly to run ie future or visual pinball.

It should be able to add a good pnball emulator to piplay. Maybe something for one of the futute updates?

@simmerdown thanks for the tip, I didnt think about PS1 as a pinball emulator. I will definitely look into that.

I found some playstation pinball games.
Pro Pinball-Big Race USA
Pro Pinball-Timeshock!
Pro Pinball-Fantastic Journey
Extreme Pinball
True Pinball

Ill try these out and see what happens

I thought i read about future pinball and Linux somewhere? Tho i am sure the pi would not run it anyways.
Please let me know how it goes krayz.
If not just make a virtual pinball cabinet with visual pinmame. I love mine!

Unfortunately, Future Pinball will not run on the Pi, it requires an x86 processor.

And did you see it, it requires huge computational power!!!

Yeah wine... Well, I knew a pi wouldn't be able to run something like that anyway. I still think ps1 is as good as it gets for now.

Howdy, Stranger!
