Four photographs cover the cabinet identity, running playfield, open structure, and backbox framing. The damaged WebP backbox asset was rebuilt from its intact JPEG.

Commissioned prototype

Dirty Leroy

Dirty Leroy was a full-size virtual pinball cabinet built as the working prototype branch of a two-cabinet commission. The builder's stated goal was a usable cabinet whose controls, sound, and display response felt convincing in ordinary play.

It was built over roughly two to three months from salvaged or refurbished materials, completed, sold, and moved to its owner's home according to the retained first-person record.

What the prototype established

Builder conclusion

Obtainable cabinet

A full-size virtual pinball cabinet could be assembled from reachable parts without specialized manufacturing.

Observed build method

Physical control path

Buttons were mapped through an encoder-style interface and tested from a normal keyboard before cabinet integration.

Scope

Deliberate limits

Force-feedback solenoids, cabinet vibration, and advanced haptics were not included. The prototype focused on cabinet, controls, software, audio, lighting, and recovery.
