The cabinet sidekick
The in-cabinet mod recognizes player names, catches final scores, keeps a local cache, drives the playfield display, and leaves room for playful cabinet moments when the internet gets flaky.
What it does
Give every cabinet a live scoreboard and a little personality.
pinball.cv keeps the machine untouched. The mod recognizes Stern Insider Connected players, turns trusted games into scores and messages, and leaves room for a few surprises as the cabinet learns new tricks.
The player spark
Turn player names and final scores into bigger cabinet moments, with messages that make the machine feel awake without getting in the way of normal play.
The location vibe
Keep the machine feeling connected to the room: fresh welcomes, score chases, and playful surprises that make regulars want one more game.

Welcome to Smith Pinball Arcade
The ball path
Catch the player, catch the score, keep the fun moving.
Power up
Registered mods check in with the cloud. Fresh installs are added to the right location during setup, then the machine is ready to play.
Find the player
The mod starts tracking only after a real Insider Connected player is present, keeping anonymous games off the board.
Post the score
Final scores are tied to the registered mod and confirmed player name, then sent to the local and global boards.
Stay playable
If the network drops, the machine keeps showing clean local messages and cached scores instead of scary system screens.
Kickstarter campaign coming soon.
pinball.cv is heading toward a Kickstarter launch for players, collectors, and locations that want live scoreboards, cabinet messages, and playful connected moments for real pinball machines.
