I didn't really know what forum to put this in but i went with the classic one as i suppose pinball itself is a retro game these days - anyway, move me if i'm wrong!

Anyway, are there any pinball peripherals that are available for playing my old pinball games. I'm talking one that would be able to sensor pushing and tiliting the machine and with a plunger to pull back and release the ball.

If one is not readily available then what are your solutions, pressing the two alt keys just dosn't do it for me and so i'd appreciate sone advice.

Thanks.

The X-Arcade controller has two buttons on the sides for pinball games which is a little better than ALT keys, but that's of course not a complete replacement for an actual machine. I don't know if there's anything out there like you're searching for.

shouldnt be too hard to rig something up with a few accelerometers and one or two sensors to measure the force of a plunger impacting. however on the other side of things is there any video pinball emulator that would support all of this analogue data being fed to it?

I'd love to see someone rig up pinmame on one of those video pinball tables i've seen out in recent years.
