Seconding this request. I keep my playfield monitor in landscape mode to play Visual Pinball, and I would prefer not having to manually rotate the orientation every time I play TPA. Zen's implementation of this is exactly what you guys should do (see also, their DMD positioning.)
For games with really obtuse angle shots, this could potentially give you better set-up than coming from a full cradle, but I think it's too unpredictable to make it worth the risk of trying. So probably more a quirk than anything.
So funny, I don't think I've ever seen a tip stall last more than a moment or two, but it happened to me while playing an AC/DC Pro on location yesterday. I only held it for a few seconds, as I was in the middle of a hell of a ball, but it seemed like it would have hung out there indefinitely...
If that's true, it's only selectively enforced, if at all. I was in Charleston over the holidays and saw plenty of kids playing a TZ I found on location.
A recent article about the Pinball Gallery and the rise in popularity of pinball in general.
I'm in one of the pictures in the associated photo gallery as well.
Portrait mode is already there. Rotate your monitor's display to portrait then launch TPA through steam and select the configuration utility. Choose your resolution. Done.
If you don't mind sacrificing a few of the fancier features, building a mini cabinet can be pretty seriously cheap.
Get yourself a 22" 16:9 monitor for the playfield and a 17" 4:3 monitor for the backglass. Build a wooden box. Buy an iPac and however many buttons you want. Drill holes. Wire it...
