I finally wrote up a “Making Of” history for our custom pinball machine “America’s Most Haunted” You can read the whole story and watch the embedded videos here.
America’s Most Haunted is currently in production and you can order one for yourself by visiting Spooky Pinball’s website. Enjoy!
We tested the latest code thoroughly at Pinball Expo 2014 and now it’s available for download.
Enjoy! And don’t get too scared by those pesky ghosts!
I have not forgotten about everything asking for these. However I continue to be very busy. Hopefully once we get past our shop move there will be more time to address these before the holidays.
A PS3/PS4 version is not looking likely. Unfortunately those controllers use a type of silk screen circuit that is not easily hackable. We will also be looking into if the older Xbox 360 version is worth continuing, or if we should go next-gen only.
The main goal is doing whatever results in the most controllers being available. All emails are being collected into a folder so we can respond to you once ready – stay tuned!
I have recently refreshed my site to a new web server – hopefully this will improve speed and reliability.
The benheck.com Forums have been updated to the latest phpBB as well. We still have registration disabled (bots have become out of control) but it’s a great place to search and find lots of existing info in the meantime.
If you run into a problem, please let me know via email! Thanks and please continue to enjoy the site!
By now you’ve probably heard of the Hackaday Prize – a contest to create an open and connected “device of the future” with a grand prize of a trip to space.
We recently did a video talking more about the contest along with some ideas and tips for entry. Visit the Ben Heck Show page to check it out!
Thanks everyone for the continued interest in these controllers! I do intend to build more in the near future, I just needed to take a break this summer (and by that I mean “only” work 1 full time job)
My goal is to resume selling them in September in time for the holiday season. A PS4 version may also be possible but the controller is a little harder to work it.
Stay tuned, and thanks for your patience!
I’m still working on this site and making improvements, thanks for your patience.
Did you know you can find every single one of our podcasts on this site? Click here, or use the drop-down MEDIA menu up at the top.
Some of the podcasts were done on video (thus, “video podcasts”) and I’ve embedded those on YouTube to save server space.
Enjoy!
