Ok so i've installed all the apps.. but i can't seem to find "right stick Y-Asix is IAxisY (vjoy)" as an option in the drop down menu....

 

[NailBuster]

I just dbl-checked my cab.  I have it that highlighted item set to IAxis 5

 

and all others items are blank for me....

[Brer Frog]

I'm also still interested but have a ways to go completing my mini-cab build.

[NailBuster]

cool...  

 

dont' get much feedback... so don't know if people are using it OK... or just not using it

[jbg4208]

Im using it and loving it. Works great. I did have to up the response on my a few though. Also installed it on my mom cab!

[Thalamus]

Idea is nice. I already have a plunger solution but, this is a simple and looks to be effective as well. Nice idea. I would however have problems attaching this to my cab. Would need to shorten it a whole lot because of the monitor. I guess there are a few of us with that problem.

[NailBuster]

yes.. I thought about how 'small' it could get...

 

I have(and seen)a very small 'travel' optical mouse...someone could 3d print a part around the plunger(mouse underneath plunger or something) and have a small piece of something flexible moving over a 'static' mouse.

 

but once you're 3d printing things and stuff it starts to get complicated...

 

I had the room so it was good.  And if someone wants to use the 'strap' (not paint stick)... it could be at a 'steep-ish' angle I guess....

Does this work on vp9.
I did the setup changed plunger to rY, Mose doesn't do anything. Plunger is still set to enter button though

do you have it working in vpx 10.x?

 

I've never used vp9 so can't tell you if it's a version issue or not.

vjoy did change my mame joystick ports to player 3..  as in joy 3 .. win 8.1

[Armyaviation]

Not using vpx only vp9. Any help on vp9 would be appreciated

[NailBuster]

when you install vjoy there's a "monitor vjoy" app. close all vpx stuff....and if you run that util and move your mouse around(with mouseplunger running) you should see rY move as well.  If you get that far, then its a vp9 config issue.  If no bars are moving then you don't have something setup correctly on the vjoy/mouse driver side.

[Armyaviation]

The app works fine. I went on vp9 key setting as described and changed setting for plunger. It has to be something small I am missing

[NailBuster]

don't know what version you are running.... vpinball993.exe plunger works on my pc.... vpinball921.exe plunger doesn't work on my pc.

 

but I'm just using the exes from the all-in-one installer... so maybe someone else knows more about vp9 and mouse plunger settings.

3D printed option tested and working thanks to NailBuster. 

 

Here is a link to the .STL file www.newimagesystems.co.uk/pinballshare/PlungebobMousepants.stl

Hi 

New member and really looking forward to my first cabinet build. I'we made two Arcade cabinets and now it is time to enter the fantastic pinball world :-)

 

Nailbuster... Would you like to share your Fusion360 files?

[NailBuster]

are you looking for fusion 360 files for this mouse plunger? or for a new cabinet build?

 

Feel free to PM me here with your email address and I can send you my working fusion cabinet files if that's what you are looking for....

I'm about to take on this project. Is it best to use a wireless or wired mouse? Any other creative mounting options? YouTube video how to since I can't follow written directions?

[NailBuster]

i'd stick with wired.  wireless tend to go to 'sleep' often when not used... and its just another pain when the batteries die out (or explode from not using).

 

another member made a 3d printed design you can use if you know someone/service to print it.  the stl is in this thread.

[cmiller1]

Is there a picture of what the 3d printed version looks like? I don't see the picture of it anywhere and can't open an .stl file to see the drawing of it.
