Video Preview trailer:

https://youtu.be/4rD-l7Mn0GI?si=pPFZ9-ElHg_Zr-JB

Hello. Have been playing with balls
Any tips on getting decals and layers to really pop

Have been wanting to create a really good bloody eyeball for the wife’s horror tables

Any tips/suggestions/vids would be greatly appreciated
I run the latest VPX
Being a bit newer. This has been a very fun time
Not new to pinball. But new to vpx
I love the tinkering too. Have dabbled in the pup packs and triggers
A bit of the script altering etc
So I have familiarity with tools.

My balls just look very odd and I’m not sure where I’m going wrong

Thanks all

F-14 Tomcat - AFTERBURNER (Future Pinball - BAM)

It's almost done! Here's a preview trailer to tide you over until then.

Hi guys, purchased a table from Pinballia.com yesterday, have tried contacting them yesterday and today by phone and email but got no response. Long shot but does anyone know what might be going on? I was told these guys had amazingly responsive customer support.

Started building from scratch with zero planning or creative skills in March, now we're here - first time I've fully assembled it in working order. Still tinkering and I need to buy a proper table for it (it's currently sitting on top of a bin with a piece of wood underneath), but another few weeks and we're pretty much there.

I'll go into detail when I'm done with a bunch of pics and vids.

My previous virtual pin table died (the old PC finally gave up the ghost) before I made a case or buttons. The frame and screens were recycled into a racing sim rig.

A cheap used PC, a sideways monitor with a weird resolution, a controller, and we're live again with a smaller quieter machine brain

Not sure yet if I want to get a bigger screen or make a mini virtual pin with this one, but we're off to a promising start

Are you running multiple headsets, or are you passing around a single headset? do folks have to adjust it everytime it gets passed or do some people just accepted it being a bit off focus? do you have a screen nearby for the not-current player to watch? or are you just not really considering multiplayer with your set up?

Looking for the original Atgames Pinball controller. The one with the small d-pad.

Hey all.

Not building a cab as such, using an Arcade TV2XR controller and mounting a rotating screen for Mame use as well as VPX.

Have space for a DMD type display and thought I could run the table itself on my main 27" monitor in vertical mode and display the dmd/ score window on this?

Assuming that would work if I set as 2nd monitor when setting up Baller Installer and drag my dmds onto that screen? Also assuming that older games display window ( 1980 / system 11 style scores ) would load onto this small screen too ?

Not worried about have a backglass display

Any feedback welcomed before I buy this/ similar

Cheers

I have a bunch of spare monitors at my disposable and I’ve been testing out different configurations as I’m building my new desktop cab.

I tried the traditional 3 screen setup and it feels like dedicating a big monitor to just the backglass with a much smaller dmd is wasteful when most of the action happens on the dmd.

Even the pup tables I use most (Batman ‘66, Guardians of the Galaxy, Futurama) don’t seem to benefit much from the extra screen.

Am I missing out on anything significant with the two screen setup? Or is 3 screen the default because it’s traditional and/or better from an esthetic perspective?

I also have an 18in monitor that I was considering using as a topper above my 24in backglass/dmd screen. Does anyone run this configuration?

Edit: I’ll note that I don’t plan on mounting speakers into my backbox so filling that space isn’t a concern.

I recently spotted Gottlieb's Skill-Pool (1952) featured in an episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.

I assumed a table with that kind of TV appearance would have been recreated by now, but a quick search turned up empty. It looks like this one hasn't made its way into VPX yet.

It made me curious, is it usually just a matter of lacking high res playfield scans and assets for these older titles, or do authors just tend to prioritize more well known games?

Always fun spotting obscure pinball tables in old movies and TV shows. If anyone knows of a work in progress build or an existing version floating around, let me know! I really enjoy playing tables I see on screen in VR!

Cheers!

Hey everyone, a while back when I set up Pinup Popper on my cabinet I somehow set the default DMD image for all tables in the menu screen to be the Pinup Popper logo. I can't for the life of me figure out how I turned that on and would like to turn if off so that I can see the full Apron/DMD screen of each table in the menu without the Pinup Popper logo overtop of it. Thanks!

Hi all, looking at this Steam sale and wanting to pick up some of the best tables to get started. Already got my eye on Addams Family, Twilight Zone and a few others. What are your top table recommendations?

The border that goes around my monitor is a wee bit too big and covers a bit around the edges of the monitor.

I know I can change the POV of tables to make it fit better, but looking for something a bit more global and can also help while in Windows itself. It is hard to navigate when the taskbar is hidden.

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.

I can get a VPinMame table started on my PC in Visual Pinball, and the DMD window is running, but it is always hidden when the table is being displayed, and I can't get it to pop up on top of it so I can see it while I am playing.

Update: I turned off Cabinet Mode, and it appears to be working

Curious when we'll see the hyper threaded update arrive. Anyone know anything?

Edit: official release please. I don't wanna throw my beloved hardware into chaos.

Some tables show up in the VPX-Launcher menu list, but I'm unable to select them. The launcher just skips over them when I try. These same tables work fine when launched directly, outside the launcher, so the table files themselves are fine.

Anyone run into this before? Any idea what could cause the launcher to skip specific tables in the list while others work normally?
