Hi all, I am having issues with my homebuilt vpin that my current consultant can't seem to solve and I wonder if you or someone you know is skilled enough to help me resolve these issues and get the system dialed in once and for all. Admittedly, these issues are persistent and seem immune from efforts to fix them, but some here have offered advice that makes me think I am not alone. Somehow, I am still stuck.

1. First, I am having issues where some, but not all games have sticky flippers. Frontier, Jokerz, Independence Day and a few others, I now forget. If I went through the tables one by one, I suspect I would find more than a couple others. This sucks as it makes some of my favorite tables unplayable. Yesterday, the consultant assigned keys to all of my controls in the pinone software and in pinup popper, future pinball, etc. I protested this because Phil at Cleveland Software said that to do so is to take a step backward from his current tech and to likely slow loading times. Initially the change helped me get a few tables working, but later the problem came back. Really frustrating.
2. I have an issue with Eight Ball Deluxe lighting random lights on the playfield. Of course, when my consultant looked at it yesterday it was working fine and I thought other changes he made might have helped. This issue is that on every ball, random lights are lit when they shouldn't be. This morning on ball 1 it was lighting special, 4x, two of the balls and three of the left orbit lights. As a guy who plays competitively on that machine in real life and wants to bring my friends over, it is a glaring failure that I would like to fix before my pin pals come by.
3. three of my pinone selonoids are not firing. I think this is likely a hardware issue, but in them meantime, I would like to just have other selonoids fire in their place. Is that possible? I would love to have some help.
4. I have way more machines than I want on the drive and would like to have pinup popper cleaned up and organized with just the games from VPX and their best. I am willing to completely remove future pinball, pinball fx, Zacharia and all of the home made games in VPX. Ideally I would like this machine to be as close to the real thing with the best of the real tables and excellent VPIN exclusives as possible. No offense to the creators, I just want to keep this machine tight and easy on guests.
5. The nudge settings in Pinone are set at their most sensitive, but they are still not sensitive enough. Is there a way to get more from this?

You may be thinking, why not just do it yourself. I ask myself the same thing, but if I was motivated enough to learn to do that, I would have done it by now.

Any experience consultants out there willing to remote in and help??

My Machine was an alibaba special, but I have since added a new computer to run 4k 120hz, a C5 display, the pinone board and selonoids, accelerometer, real plunger and SSF. I am using an equalizer to optimize the sound and am generally happy with it, but these issues are keeping me from feeling like it is locked down.
