- Episode#46 Custom Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series Extravaganza!
In this video I show you how to add instruction cards to your games through pinup popper media, how to add custom instruction cards from VPUniverse, how to see the instruction cards while in the front end and during a game, and I share a few troubleshooting tips to make sure this works for your vpin cabinet.
Special thanks to Frank (Ordes) on VPU for all of your hard work making beautiful instruction cards for us to enjoy! Cheers!

I love this feature in popper. Another thing to note: you can have help screens that span multiple pages. You just need to say "add to list" instead of "overwrite" when you drag in the extra pages, and use the flipper buttons to page forward and backward while viewing.
Oh cool, good to know. I'll have to let Frank know that so if he wants to make multi page instruction cards. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
My god. What a great series of videos!!! I have enjoyed them for some weeks. Very well done and I really appreciate your work. I know the work behind these videos as I have a similar channel (“Mi rincón aeronautico”) showing how I build an ultralight plane here in Spain. Very good illumination and quality of the image (not like my videos). And a superb editing work. Congratulations. When I finish my plane, I’ll go for the pinball cabinet. I need DIY projects… Thank you very much for this work.
Thank you very much for your kind words! Yeah it's a ton of work but people are enjoying the content so it's worth it. If you deem me worthy I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. I've never flown an ultralight, looks cool though. You'll love the vpin project. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel. Cheers!
This is SO HELPFUL! Thanks so much for the great video!
Awesome, glad I could help you out. If you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Cheers!
I've wanted something like this for a long time - could never quite work if out. So massive thank you - your series is getting event better with these aftercare steps!
Oh perfect, glad this got you sorted out. Yeah this series may never be over...lol. thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
Another great video - Just when I thought I was 98% done with my cab and setup, you add something else I need to do to my setup! 😁 Thanks again for all your time and effort for this hobby!
Thanks! Lol, sorry. It was just too cool to not share. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
Just wanted to say thanks for a very informative channel. I just got my accelerometer to work properly thanks to your straight forward instructions.
Awesome! Glad I was able to help you out! Hopefully I earned your subscription today and if you deem me worthy, I'd really appreciate it if you could share out my channel on your social media so I can help more people. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel! Pinball for the win!
Already had this setup. I blame you (and thank you) for pointing out the new cards. 🙃 Spent last night grabbing close to a 100 new cards to replace low res ones I had. And added more cards to a few tables. Such a great feature.
Lol, sorry/ you're very welcome! Your vpins gonna look even better now. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
Thanks for another great tutorial! There are so many great customizations available and the level of contributions from this community is amazing. Really appreciate your highlighting the work being created and how we can add to the overall quality of these machines we have developed.
You're very welcome! Yeah it really is a great hobby and community of people who just love pinball and help each other out. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
Was wondering how to get them to pop up ‘in-game’. Great feature. Thanks for the help and excellent walk-through!
Glad I could help! Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
Hey! I learned a thing tonight! I had it set up to display the instructions in Popper, but not while in game! This is great. Thank you! 🎉
Sweet! Yeah I wanted it in the game so I looked into it and sure enough Nailbusters had that figured out too. Thanks for the watch!
Nice work. Have your ever considered doing VR Pinball. With your teaching style it would be a excellent tutorial!
I have considered it and am thinking about eventually making a VR mini pin build for home. It would make for good content too. I still have to buy a VR headset and try it out.....so much to do. Cheers!
Hello from Germany :) your channel keept me running on 100% for 3 Month - hate and love it same time :D - What about a Video for changing to 64bit Version? keep on going - all thumbs up!
Prost! That's awesome, you'll have to send me some pics of your vpin to my Instagram! I'm making a video for backing up your SSD and will be doing an upgrade video to 64 but probably next. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!
Thanks again for your great VP Tutorial....You have a nice capability to explain👍.....Best regards from Germany and take care my bro
You're very welcome, I'm happy to help people out. Prost!
Another awesome video,thanks for the series you've helped out huge in the community. you can also access this feature in popper, if you set one of your cab buttons to O (operator) you can show help,info,lower volume,mute,record BG,PF,DMD, custom scripts to change pov no need to hit f12. It's a game changer
I'll have to look into that, sounds like a good video possibly. Thanks for the watch and the tip!
@@wayofthewrench Rudy's Arcade made a custom POV script for this. He has a mega download on this video (Add Menu for 10.8 POV Adjustment). The POV script that comes with popper is the old way don't think it works with the new window mode or 10.8. In popper controller setup change the menu select from spacebar which is forward nudge to a vacant key. On my cab I have 3 buttons on the left start, extra ball and the Popper Operator Menu button, I used my extra ball buy in as my select button. Hope this helps.
I'll check it out when I get a change, cheers!
You can also access the game help via operator menu
Thanks for the tip! Cheers!
And thx for the video great work 👍
You're very welcome, thanks for the watch!
Great video again as always, just a few mentions. When editing the screens make sure you hit save PuP Pack or the screen layout will not stick. Also having default state to always on will cause the help card to show, but you can't navigate tables until you close the help card (H or Buy in).
Good tip! Thanks for the info. It's pretty awesome to have all of these options to customize our vpins. Thanks for the watch!
Amazing Emil!
Cheers Bruh!
Gotta get this set up. I just updated to 64bit, 10.8 and Popper 1.5 beta7. I've downloaded Futurama and Darkest Dungeon for 10.8. Going to play them this weekend.
Yeah this is a pretty sweet add on. Man, I'm so behind in my updates, I still have to do all of that. I've just been so busy and no time for pinball. Thanks for the watch!
One thing is missing, need to set the screen size and location in pinup settings and set it to active
Yeah that would have been good to show too. I do try to show everything in my videos but sometimes you can show everything because the videos get too long. At least I showed the popper screen where that would be possible. Thanks for the watch and the suggestion! Cheers!
Woo! First! Another great one!
Lol, you know you've made it when people are excited to comment first! Congrats! Thanks for the watch! Cheers!
wish we could add gif memes. you get the Bow Down to the Master meme . NICE!
Glad you liked the video dude! Thanks for the watch and your support!
Would it no be better to put them on the backglass instead of the FullDMD, that way you can keep your scores up while being able to check the instructions. Also The new Video instructions that Kongedam are amazing to add in. I have mine set to use both instruction cards and videos.
Ya maybe but you can pick whatever screen you want to show it. Yeah those video instructions look cool, that would be awesome to display as well. I'll have to add that to mine eventually. Thanks for the watch!
I havent bothered up to now adding instruction cards to my Popper, but your video has given me the incentive to do it. I have my cabinet online i wonder if the cards are available to install from online within Popper, ill find out later when i give it a go.
Many are in the popper media manager. There are some hi DPI versions on VPU, not sure if those have been added to media manager though.
Yup just like in the video you can go to media manager and search/add instruction cards under the help screen. There are better ones available to download on VPUniverse too. Have fun!
Awesome. Thanks for the TIP. I'll be doing this tonight!
Sweet! Glad I could help. Cheers!
Hey there! Another great video. By the way, there is another button that is not used
frequently, if at all, on your cabinet. That would be to push the plunger.
Depending on your setup, that may be mapped as a launch ball. Some leave off the actual button and use the one "hidden" behind the plunger. I like the extra ball, or maybe even a shift option with a regular button.
I do not recommend using this button for anything except exiting popper or shutting down from popper because when you pull the plunger back it will trigger the button. I had issues with my games exiting when I first started and this was the issue.
Makes sense. Thanks.
Yeah a shift button would be good.
cheers!
I need that for small engine diag. I’ve started compiling lists on my iPhone Notes as a first step.
That would be cool. I'll be eventually filming a small engine rebuild series too. Thanks for the watch!
Thanks for the video! Do I need to hold down the button to keep the instructions up, or is it a toggle?
You're very welcome! No, it's a toggle on or off. Thanks for the watch!
When I pick a table I sometimes get a grayish messed up looking screen then table loads fine. I followed the nvidia settings on nailbuster wiki. Any ideas?
Sometimes it is a bad download of the table, try that. Other times it is running on a incorrect version of vpx. Other times it is a sign of too much processing for your pc/gpu. I have had issues on some tables in the past but it was only a couple and the above things fixed them. Hope that helps. Cheers!
I love this feature too. I have it mapped to the left mangasave button, but only in the menu, not in-game. I also have the original flyer pop up with the right magnasave button, I love seeing those as well
That's cool, gotta love the ability to make it what you want. I highly suggest adding an in game instructions so you don't have to quit your game to see what to do. Thanks for the watch!
@@wayofthewrench I thought about it, but if I really want to learn a table I grab my phone with the actual rulesheet anyway
that works but it is a quick fix to add for in game if ya want it. Cheers!
@@overtinker.projects and what about originals im a rule guy and i havent seen a rulesheet for those
