Tutorial: Creating custom attract-mode messages on American Pinball machines via USB.

Synopsis

Dave Brennan from American Pinball provides a technical tutorial on how to create and install custom messages on American Pinball machines. The process involves creating a PNG image (1366x768) using tools like Canva, transferring it to a USB drive formatted as FAT32, and using the machine's service menu to enable and load the custom message during attract mode. This feature allows arcade operators and owners to display personalized logos, names, or branding on their machines.
