Backglass support for Arcooda Pinball Arcade tables

May 11, 2017

Backglass animations are now complete for a number of Arcooda Pinball Arcade games.

So far, 12 tables in Arcooda Pinball Arcade’s library of games have received backglass animations – and there is plenty more to come.

Arcooda joined forces with FarSight Studios, the creators of The Pinball Arcade, in December last year to create Arcooda Pinball Arcade – a collection of over 70 games that are unique to Arcooda Video Pinball and other Arcooda arcade machines.

While many of the games in Arcooda Pinball Arcade are already well-known and loved, such as The Addams Family, the software enhancements being made to each is what sets them apart from other digital versions.

Since December, FarSight has been writing new software code to enhance the games in Arcooda Pinball Arcade.

This will allow for power management of coils, lights and various motors – meaning the cabinet will light up and shake at intervals where the game allows for it – new camera angles and 3D support, full touchscreen support and backglass support on all tables.

Games to receive a backglass animation so far include: Cactus Canyon, Ciqus Votaire, Attack From Marks, Doctor Who and Doctor Who Master of Time, Terminator 2 Judgement Day and Teed Off.

Arcooda’s Anti-Cheater Alarm system

May 9, 2017

The Arcooda Anti-Cheater Alarm.

Arcooda values its customers and their concerns about being cheated out of coin-operated machine income. This is why we have created an anti-cheater device.

Arcooda’s Anti-Cheater Alarm system has been designed to stop and deter thieves armed with EMP Jammers or Slot Jammers from robbing coin-operated gaming machines.

“We receive regular calls to our office from customers who believe they are being cheated,” Arcooda CEO Steve Josifovski said.

“Many times, the machine has simply just overpaid.

“But other times, income is missing from the cashbox resulting in staff mistrust.

“With the Arcooda Anti-Cheater Alarm, you eliminate customers using cheater products to receive free credits.

“Since the alarm will sound immediately once the cheater is detected, they will see your venue too difficult to cheat and will move to the next venue.”

We unveiled the Anti-Cheater Alarm in our first video Checkpoint, but have also put together a second video showing you just how easy it is to use.

Cheating devices are increasingly being used by thieves to steal from coin-operated machines.

These devices send an electronic signal to the pay in module, which is detected as a payment by the machine.

This gives the cheater free credit on the machine.

When a machine has the Arcooda Anti-Cheater Alarm installed, and it detects an electric signal being sent from the cheater device, a loud alarm is triggered.

This will alert staff of the cheater’s presence.

The alarm may be mounted on the interior or exterior of the machine.

An internal counter keeps track of the number of times a cheater device has been detected – so if a machine is rented to a venue, you can keep track of attempted thefts.

Update on the Arcooda Video Pinball machine

May 9, 2017

The dual flipper opto board we have been working on for Arcooda Video Pinball.

There has been plenty of new developments made on the Arcooda Video Pinball machine since the prototype was revealed late last year, which we outline in video one of our all new Checkpoint series.

Keep your eye out for our Checkpoint videos, as this is where we will be revealing more details about the video pinball project and other company happenings.

In Checkpoint video 001, we explained why the Arcooda Video Pinball machine has not yet been released.

We demonstrated the prototype machine at the Australasian Gaming Expo, Pinfest and IAAPA Attractions Expo in 2016 with the hope of an early 2017 release.

However, after much thought, we decided to push this release date back to re-engineer hardware and software components in the machine to deliver a product that looks and feels like a real pinball.

Key component upgrades so far include adding a smart tilt IO board, a custom pinball coil mechanism and a dual flipper opto board.

In December, we announced a partnership with FarSight Studios – creators of The Pinball Arcade – to launch the Arcooda Pinball Arcade.

We asked FarSight Studios to write new software code, which will allow for backglass support on all tables included in Arcooda Pinball Arcade (there is more than 70).

Other areas we have been focusing on is power management for the machine’s coils, lights and motors, new camera angles for the games, 3D support, a new player interface and full touchscreen support.

We are now in the trial phase.

We’ll keep you posted on when the software is ready to play.

New Arcooda video series to keep you up to date

May 4, 2017

From today, Arcooda will start an all new video series which will provide our gaming community and the wider public with up-to-date company news.

The regular checkpoint videos will feature details and updates on Arcooda projects currently under development and, at times, call for your opinions and input about them.

“There is a lot of new development at Arcooda, and often these developments are difficult to explain just through text,” Arcooda CEO Steve Josifovski said.

“We have created this new video series to share with our distributors and customers many of the projects we are working on, machines we are soon to release, and also to ask for your feedback.

“This video series is a good way to contribute and have your say on what features you would like to see added, cabinet colours, or what further collaborations you would like us to have with other leading software and hardware factories.

“We hope you can be part of our community as the machines we are building are not designed for “one off” game style purchases, but more, where the cabinet can be modified over the years for long term use.”

Checkpoint video one will land on the Arcooda YouTube channel Thursday night.

This video will contain updates on the Arcooda Video Pinball, a new game and machine, plus something extra we’ve been working on – an anti-cheating system.

Keep an eye out on our YouTube channel, as well as our Facebook and Twitter pages for these checkpoint videos.
