Right click on it and a popup menu appears so you can choose to restore the program window or terminate the program.įeel free to comment and to share the program if you wish. Minimize it and it will go to the System Tray. One is for Windows7/8 and the other for Windows10.įirst, install as Administrator the vJoy driver.Įxecute MousePlunger and configure it if needed. In the zip there's also the installation files for vJoy. The vJoyInterface.dll is the interface with vJoy (Virtual Joystick) The MousePlunger.ini is the configuration file for the program (I commented it so you can change the values to suit your needs) Just unpack the zip in a directory of your choice (I recommend inside c:\VisualPinball a directory names MousePlunger) I'd like to share it so others can use the way I use it.įor win10 i recomend dowloading this one: the one in the zip doesn't work. I searched the Internet and wasn't finding a program that suit my needs I decided to make my own. I wanted to do the same with VP/VPX and it only uses a joystick for that purpose. The plunger makes the wheel mouse to scroll and FP pulls and releases the plunger in the game. He used to have Future Pinball.įor the plunger I have a real plunger and under it a mouse. Kudos for sharing this with us.I have a WIP CAB. This shooter is designed to work with an inexpensive plunger available from multiple sources. I know there are other proven designs out there already, but I wanted to try my own version. I wanted to share my design for a DIY USB pinball plunger with everyone here. I’d love to hear some feedback from the community.Įdited by gscott69, 07 July 2020 - 01:08 PM. Let me know if you decide to make one of these and how it works out for you. I’m really pleased with how it responds, and the fact that it doesn’t need any calibration makes it very easy to set up and start playing. After several tries, I finally got the design that worked the way I wanted it to. Once I found the MousePlunger utility by NailBuster, I knew I had to make this. I use this rotary encoder and Arduino setup for my DIY USB arcade spinner, and I have a few left. Since I’m limited financially, I wanted to use parts I already had on-hand. I made this for my laptop based mini pinball cabinet built from scrap wood and old parts. Without them, life would be a lot less fun. I want to give back to the community that gave me the opportunity to play pinball at home! Thank you to all of the amazing people who put so much work into making these tables, emulators, and front ends. ![]() Links to all required parts and files are included in the instructions on my Google drive at Īll of the files are all free to download and print. Other free 3rd party applications (vJoy and MousePlunger) are required for this to work with pinball emulators. This setup emulates a USB mouse Y-axis movement. Both available on Amazon and many other sources. It requires a 600P/R 5VDC Incremental Rotary Encoder with a 6mm shaft, and an Arduino Pro Micro development board. I got mine for $20 from Amazon, but AliExpress is cheaper. ![]()
