You should add this in the video description section, took me a while to find it here in the comments.
In your tutorial guide (which is awesome) you have zip files 1-14 but in the file downloaded from above there is an additional 3 files. 15 - Visual-C..., My ball images...and popper launch scripts.... Do i need to install them in any certain way? Thanks for great video
@NiklasGyllenstierna if you have past the baller part you can look at my updated update guide..

Thank you. Everything works great. I only use the desktop variant with two monitors and everything works perfectly. Even when I turned on the Star Track POV it was perfect. I didn't have to adjust the POV. I left that one. I had an error during the installation of Flex DMD (for you, the first two options are ticked green, and the last two are red, and for me the first one is red, and all the others are green). But when I turned it on everything works, including b2s and DMD and pinball of course. I've only been playing VP for a month and managed to bug it and break it last night after weeks and weeks of learning and setting it up, and now I've set it up again from scratch. Now I don't touch anything anymore, nor will I update anymore or anything. I wasted more time setting this up than I did playing. But it was worth it :)
Epic... absolutely epic. Haven't touched the cabinet files in about 2 years. Thought I had a solid weekend ahead of me, and then some, to get back up to speed with the community. Really appreciate this video and the links!
Thank you for this video Rudy. I’m finishing up my retro arcade now and next is my virtual pinball cab. This is the best setup video that I have found yet!
This is a master class! You just covered months/years worth of information into a video under 2 hours. Especially helpful was the section at the beginning explaining all the terms. I have seen a lot of those terms floating around and still had no idea what some of them meant! Thanks so much
One of the best Virtual Pinball tutorials!! Well paced and makes things easier to understand, thanks !!
Great job!!! Keep these tutorials coming; this is precisely what the VPin community needed!!!!
Exactly what I waited for, now I will leave my one year old VPX comfort zone and start over with the awesome good new stuff 🤗 Couldn't thank you enough Rudy! Thanks for your work!
What an absolutely excellent tutorial,well thought out and covering all aspect's of a fresh setup.Thank you very much,for the time and effort,that it took to put this together...... Very much appreciated.
WOW! I can`t thank you enough for this excellent tutorial. I had an old 3 screen set up a couple of years ago just as the pup packs were being introduced and my system never seemed to work properly or it would judder all the time. I followed this tutorial and got everything running from a brand new windows 11 install. (I had a Couple of issues with DMD alignment and both dmds displaying sometimes) but managed to work out how to sort it out. This has got me back into playing all the new updated tables again.. Thank-You Rudy
Good glad you enjoying playing again!
Thank you so much! Loaded weapon for these fantastic videos I have followed. Your full install video as well as your small videos like this to the t. I know it's taking a lot of effort to put this all together and fantastic information for future pinballers coming to the hobby.
Glad it helped you!
Like how someone comments about to much going on seriously this guy's going thru step by step for all the not so tech people out there and using his own time... much appreciated learning curve
Thank you Rudy for all the hard work, this very much appreciated!
Thank you for this great video. I already have got my system up and running, but I have cold feet for the 64 update. This video is full with helpful tips.
Thank you for this. I have an AtGames pinball and PC connected that I play FX on. I’ve tried VPX on pinup popper twice and gave up. It was overwhelming and didn’t want to invest hours and hours. I may try your video and give it a try for a 3rd time. It seems worth it. Thanks for this! 👍🏻🍻
Let me know how it goes..
Thank you! I’m hoping to buy a gaming CPU and wade into virtual pinball through my At Games machine this year. Trying to learn as much as I can and so thank you for this thorough tutorial!!
A big thank you for this awesome video and all the effort you've put in it. Fantastic!!
Can't thank you enough, best video ever concise and in a perfect ordering. thank you, thank you, thank you!
Absolutely love the video. I’ve watched it several times now. My cabinet should be here within a couple weeks and then then fun part of installing everything and hooking up all the toys and arnoz boards. Will you be doing a video on DOF and SSF soon? I absolutely love how slow and thorough you are with this video, so i amongst other newbies would love to see you do a video on that. Thanks again for your very informative video
Thank you so much for creating this vide! I hope it reaches many new people.
Thank you! I am so far ahead now from where I was. Thanks to you I have a working cabinet. When I installed police force in GL, the back glass and the dmd have the annoying windows task bar at the bottom. I’m working on that but I’m sure it’s something I missed.
right click on the taskbar on the main screen then go to options and turn it off for other screens.
Very helpful video! It was worth wiping everything out and starting over.
Also from me a BIG THANK YOU! Very good video to follow! Starting tonight 🎉
Thanks Rudy, I have leant a lot, im new but your help goes into detail
I got a cabinet a few months ago and all the stuff linked to it might seem daunting at first , but once you get used to everything Pinup Popper is as much a hobby as playing the pinball.
This is HELPFUL!! Thank you so much for making this video!
Thank you very much for this awesome guide. You done a fantastic job and helped me out a lot. Many thanks.
Excellent video my guy. subbed!
Your buddy Digital Victory sent me your way. Can’t wait to learn about VP!
You can definitely watch this to learn alot of stuff but if you are starting fresh go to my 2024 video and grab the latest baller_installer and run it. It has a built-in updater and you won't have to do all my update files. Those or more for people already setup on an older build and don't want to start over.
Wow excellent video. Thank you very much!
Great video, thanks for taking the time to do this!!!
this was wonderfully done fine sir! Thank you for taking the time to do this tutorial.
No problem hope it helped..
Awesome video, very detailed and I appreciate you including the files!!! I learned a few tricks, can't wait to update my cabinet tonight.
Thanks and let me know how it goes.
@@rudysarcade Super easy to follow, got everything working. Only issue I haven't resolved yet is Police Force when launched from popper looks zoomed in. It does not look like what I saved when I launched and edited the POV in VPX GL.
@revraccrypto300 you need to setup altlaunch in popper. It is in the video.. also make sure no pov file in the tables folder for it.
@@rudysarcade I setup the alt launch in popper, maybe I missed something there. I will also check for tables folder. Thanks for your quick reply and your great videos!
@@rudysarcade .pov file was the issue. Don't know how I created it but removed it and it looks perfect!! Many thanks.
A huge thank you! Perfect! Excellent job.
Thanks brother for your hard work! You're awesome!
Hi Rudy, just started with installation. At the step starting vpx i got an error "vcomp200.dll missing" after a shock second i could figure out that only a full installtion of visual c+ (?) was missing. Now all runs perfect. Again, thanks for your effort, step by step manual, tipps and your really smooth and slow explanations. Top notch!
Thank you and yes if go to the 2nd part going over future pinball and popper I have the full c+ update in my files download. Maybe I can add them to this one also.
Amazing!! A hell of a job! Thank you soooo much! Big hug from Italy 👍
Now use the next video 32 bit to 64bit. It will add auto updater to help keep you up to date if you are on baller install. Or just goto nailbusters wiki and download the latest popper update.
www.nailbuster.com/updatesv15/PinUP_System_v1_5_Beta7.zip
Thank you very much. This video was very helpful.
thank you, and others, for your/their work, that's a lot of effort and love for pinball...unfortunately, installing and tweaking all of this is a lot of work for me (many ways to screw something up) who wants to play it casually from time to time so maybe someone will one day put all this in one big install file for all the noobs (like me)
Great Info well explained Thank you
Good stuff, thank you for this, much appreciated
Thank you so much, this really helped.
Thank you for your Work. Perfekt tutorial.
I needed this!!!
Great guide! Now if we could have the same but for a VR setup :)
I have a quest 2 and I have been meaning to get time to test it out. I had back surgery 2 weeks ago and just now getting around good so I might test it out soon. :)
thank you ,im up and running
instant sub, well done Rudy
Thank you hope it helped
This is fantastic and well timed as well for me as i just finished building my cabinet. Is there going to be anymore videos on this? Like Installing Future Pinball with TerryReds Tables? And what about PInball FX 2 and 3? Will there be tutorials on setup for that as i havent seen any so far
This installs FP and bam but you will need to update bam and use Terry's config files.
FX2 and 3 are all on nailbusters website and you just install them on steam. I might do a video to help set it up. I will see how this video does first. Thanks for the comment
Excellent video. Thanks so much for sharing. Very helpful for a newbie like me. For adding Mame to pinup popper or other programs, is it fairly easy?
Look on nailbusters wiki has all the information
I'm still running pinball emporium lol, I have little over 1700 tables all working perfectly, took me like 2 years to get to this point so been putting off switching over to pinup popper. Haven't updated to 3.6 or 10.8 or 64 bit yet but everything else works great. Def wish I knew someone to give me a hand as I don't wanna mess up all my many months of hard work
You don't play 1700 tables and the longer your in this hobby you learn not to just collect and use only what you play. It takes a good PC to play all the new stuff so if you have an older pc and old video card then I would wait till you get a new system.
As for the setup you can only use the table, backglass, and roms. It will take a lot to get 1700 tables setup. I would make a new setup and pick your favorite 300 lol
@rudysarcade my favorites folder has 883 tables in it lol, I can't just pick 300. I play most of the tables I have, might have to get rid of some older tables, just love collecting them and tinkering 😁
This tutorial really is second to none! I'm about 40 mins in, and i really appreciate how thorough you are.
I'm just wondering, is all of this applicable to Visual Pinball VR as well? I'm just using a single monitor with an Oculus Rift. I've been fine with the VR Tables I've installed, but can't get pup enabled tables like TNA to work. I'm hoping a clean install and following this will help.
If you doing a fresh install just get the new baller installer in my 2024 video. It includes everything and an updater
@@rudysarcade perfect, thank you
Subscribed!
Thanks so much for the videos, awesome job!!!! I see you downloading the table, b2s and rom, but I missed where you downloaded and inserted the full dmd background video. I noticed when you opened STNG they are there, along with your colorized dmd but I must have missed you added??? Thank you so much for your helpful videos!!!
Use the popper media manager to add it
@@rudysarcade Thanks so much for the fast reply!!! Was there a section of the video where you show how to do that? BTW I used your "2024 VP never been easier" video and it was smooth as butter to install everything!!!!
Also 1hr 6min starts popper media section
@@rudysarcade that worked great. Is there a way remove and add a new images in pinup media manager of you want to use new/different images? Also when I add blank screen, then a full screen to my playfield (3) in media manager, my load screen is not full screen. Basically the load video is there, but blank at the bottom third of the screen. Have you ever seen that?
THANK YOU!!
thank you so much you get the comment the bell and all that stuff.
Nobb question. Do I need to set my main monitor that will be used for the play field to portrait before I set everything up? Also really appreciate all the work that goes into these videos.
No do not rotate the monitor
Rudy - I’m starting to follow this video and it’s awesome !! are the files that you include in this video up to date or do I need to get anything new -
Also , with this video concerning baller installer you had used ? Should I use the most updated one listed on Facebook
Thanks again
If you are updating then yes these are new files. If you are starting fresh then no need for all of these. Though the video has a lot of helpful information. Follow the 2024 pinball video to install the latest baller installer with built in updater
Thanks Rudy
In the PC Specs section, when you say 16GB of memory, are you referring to RAM or VRAM (Graphics Card Memory)?
I assume RAM since the 1050 card you recommend only has 2GB of VRAM, but wanted to be sure.
Thanks for all you do for the community. Its especially helpful to newcomers like myself!
Yes system memory
Hi Rudy, thank you so much for your nice instruction video.
I realy learnd a lot of it. - I would say, it‘s the best video I‘ve seen to get a punch of informations about Pinball Popper.
One Question: What software did you use to get all three screens together?
To access my Pinball PC, I‘m using TightVNC, but it‘s slow and the screen resolution don‘t fit to show all screens together.
I use OBS to.stream and record
Live Streaming sounds cool. - Thank you 😀
Tried it out, but streaming means only to some plattforms. - Searching a tool to stream to my iMac or PC which shows all three monitors together, or choseable with shortkeys. - Using Spacedesk at the moment, but changing the resolution is only possible with 25pct tasks.
@markusbrunner8991 you can check out my tiktok I live stream there plus a lot of videos.

Thank you
Fantastic video!!! Thank you for all the time spent putting it together. Do you sell loaded Vpin drives for Windows11 with 3 screen set up? I’m just not computer savvy, i just like playing the games. Finding all the tables still looks like a lot of time.
Thanks again for all your hard work! And if you do sell loaded drives i would be very much interested.
Thanks
Bryant
No I don't sale or support any kind of loaded drives as it takes 100s of hrs to make 1 table. The least people can do is download it from the authors and give a like and comment. But what I can do is I hold remote vpin classes on Saturdays. 2hrs $100 I can do your baller install and update and show you how to add tables and media and answer any questions you may have. Can also join the Facebook group and my discord for better support.
Thank you for the quick response. I work weekends do you offer classes on Tuesdays or Wednesdays?
@bmontano71 sorry mon thur I work 6am- 6pm
I work 6:30a to 7p F,S,SN. I guess i will try and follow that awesome video. I’m hoping to get to the point where i can play an old table i use to play back when i was a kid. It was at the local Round Table pizza place. They had a NFL N.Y. JETS pinball table and a Creature from the Black Lagoon table. Ok 👍 thank you for the video and the quick response to my questions. Thanks,
Bryant
Hey Rudy excellent video. I started a fresh install on a new drive even though my old one is working great, but with the new install I randomly have the task bar show up over top of the B2S. Not sure why its.doing this but maybe you could help. It happens in popper and also if i launch vpx solo. Again its totally random when the task bar shows up. Thanks.
dont hide the task bar and turn it off on the other screens
Very interesting, learning a lot !!!
On the SETUP DISPLAY POSITIONS I did only set my Playfield, Backglass and FullDMD.
Why do you also configure Music and DMD 4:1 ?
thankyou and good work !!!
If you use puppacks some use all 3 to add layers.
@@rudysarcade Oh thankyou.
Then I asume I will have to run "PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays" another time to configure Music and DMD 4:1 ???
In the baller installer after the display config, you press an "Apply display settings to all apps" button.
If I run the "PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays" I will not be able to press this button, do that matters?
thankyou rudy !!!
@@zzgus no you only need the pup screens moved.
Thanks for this amazing tutorial
Got everything running smoothly
Except when using pinup popper balls will occasionally get stuck on play field
Doesn’t happen when I launch from vpx
Any ideas
And thank you
Amazing tutorial, thank you. I'm about an hour through and have just played Star Trek for the first time. I've got a 2 screen setup on an ALP and I moved the dmd, saved it globally then played. The dmd has disappeared behind the animated backround (you have it on your top screen). Not sure what to do and would appreciate a nudge in the right direction.
Right click the backglass and set form to back.. make sure in the dmddevice.ini it has the dmd stays on top
Thanks for the incredible guide. I love where you give credit, where credit is due. Terry Red is a legend in the virtual pinball world. Terry Red might not take to lightly you saying, Visual Pinball is wayyyyy better than Future Pinball. Dems is fighting words. hahahaha. Grabs popcorn waits for the Terry Red response video. CZcams pinball drama is about to heat up and get real. hahahahh jokes aside. Thanks so much.
FP has great options for visuals but the program is 20 years old and out of development. Takes to long to load tables and while they are great to look at and show people they will never play as good as VPX and it just keeps getting better and updated every day. The first table I ever created was Legend of Zelda in FP. It is a great app for beginners.
much appreciated.
Any idea why I have no DMD for LK? The backglass is correct and if I alt-tab I can see it has opened, but i cannot access it, or bring it to the front of any screen? Otherwise, this is great so far (have not tried popper or pup packs yet via your video, though have had pup pucks kinda working previously. Hopeflly using your video will help sort out the other little niggles that I have come up against.
Check your dmddevice.ini in the vpinmame folder. You can open it with notepad and remove the location numbers x and y and close and save it. It should put it on the playfield so you can drag and size it again
I probably did something wrong, but you had alot more files in the vpinmame 7zip folder to copy over than I did in mine. As expected it didnt work for me.
Thank you so much for this awesome video! I now have a clear understanding on how to make things work! One thing though, I couldn't locate a color DMD file for the Next Generation. Could you provide some info for this please? Thanks.
It comes in my update files already hit f1 make sure it's enabled
@@rudysarcade Ah ok thank you. I actually didn't do that update. I did the complete baller beta bonanza install on 12/18/23 to a fresh Windows 10 system. Do I still need to do anything further after that install? Thanks.
@mjsmith1972 no just enable color in vpinmame
May I ask can you download games on your PC and then put them on a memory stick and transfer them to your vr machine ? thanks.
yes you dont have to be online but it sure does help make things easier.
Hello and thank you very much for this tutorial. I just discovered virtual pinball machines because Costco is selling the Starwars one and thought it was pretty cool. Now this has opened my eyes to a whole new world.
Question: I'm a bit at a loss on 54:40 when you say to drag the DMD and then resize it and I also cannot right click on it to save position. I cannot drag mine from the default position. What could be causing this? Thank you again!
That is for external dmd. Are you using baller installer? If so you need to use the latest beta version. Check our my baller video V2
@@rudysarcade no. I selected single monitor for the time being. Is that the reason? Thank you for your response.
Why do you add a "blank" video on the "leprechaun king" table loading video and then add the table video itself?
thankyou !!! learning a lot !!!
If you want the video to show up full screen it needs a blank behind it, something in the program.
Rudy, how do i get the dmd from a table without flexdmd like scarface? and why can i run many pup packs but terminator t2_l8 doesn't work? im following your guides! thanks a lot
Need to update everything including popper. Need to make sure all plugins and plugins64 with b2s is working. Make sure pinup is enabled in the dmddevice.ini make sure flexdmdui is setup and enabled
Hi Rudy.....if I wanted to change my screen layout,to use 3 screens (I'm currently running a 2 screen setup,play field and backglass) would I have to run the installer again?. Thanking you in advance.
No.. but you will need to run the popper screen configuration to set popper screens then run b2sscreenreidentifier to set b2s screens, then run vpx video settings on 10.7 and 10.8 to set those. And all dmd screens will need to be moved and sized to the new location
Hi Rudy, on the third folder 3-Plugins64 With DirectOutput64, there is an extra folder for DirectOutput64, I am assuming that this will be installed later ? Thanks for the directions, much appreciated.
@@cliffwolfe that's if you have dof and want to update it to 64... really should use my 2024 video and do the latest baller beta with built in updater
Great video, thank you.
How to setup desktop mode with 2 monitors? Or rotate playfield?
Just pick 2 screen then in vpx click desktop mode
@@rudysarcade thanks, that works. And another questions, as Im using desktop mode, all my loading videos in pinup popper are playing turned 90deg, like for cabinet mode.
@maciektra right click them in the media manager box and you can rotate them
Again, thanks for this. For now on my bible for installing :-) As other mentioned (Facebook) please please add a parts for Pinscape, DOF (in my case for further using my working files from my one year old installation.I dont get it running :-/
Sorry I don't use that stuff. As for the filed just take the 32bit doff configuration files someone said 3 files but I don't know but you add them to the dof folder in the plugins64
dumb question, i tried setting it up in a VM, to test some things, instead on my cab, how did you get screen 2 and 3 separate to show ?
No idea what you are doing best start from scratch and follow the video 100% don't skip steps or files
If I want to build a cabinet having a 43 inch layout, 4k, 120 hz, very good sound, what would the approximate cost be for all components to do this build?
Probably about 3k
can anyone offer some assistance.... followed the video - when I get to the star trek table it loads fine but no dmd. The space for the dmd is there on my second monitor but the actual DMD is no where to be found???? help where did I go wrong
Does the table play? If so try alt tab and see where the dmd is. If you did the ballerinstaller you should have set the dmd's location.. If you are new and starting fresh do the new 2024 install video with the latest baller_installer beta. It has everything built in and no need to manually update files anymore.
So I was wondering if u can clarify something. It's a bit confusing cuz u kind of tackle altsounds and pup option setup at the same time and go back and forth between them. So after u download and put the pup folder where it needs to go, u mentioned pasting something in vpm alias. What are u pasting exactly and does that pertain to making altsound work or display option work?
Vpmalias is only for using a different file for a rom . Has nothing to do with altsound.. Altsound you just put in the altsound folder and when you run the table hit F1 and turn on altsound.
@@rudysarcade ok. So that step with the vpm alias thing WAS something u need to do to finish making the pup pack work?
@joshmckinley2953 no that was cause I wanted 2 tables with the same rom to work 1 with backglass and 1 with puppack.
@rudysarcade if u would be so kind as to maybe get around to a scratch tutorial on setting up stranger things 4 pup table, that would be incredible! Lol since no videos of the table exist on CZcams that aren't just demos.
@@joshmckinley2953 if you set your all your pup screens like in my video. All you do is put the puppack in the pupvideos table. And play the table
tried to update using the Pinup Dater 1.0 stand alone, but it's giving me a warning saying file in use\PinUpSystem\PinUpDisplayX.exe, Cannot continue. Close all programs and try again!! Any ideas.
No your system must already be updated and on 64bit. You need to have everything updated and working then you can add it and it will keep you updated
At the 36:48 mark, I don't have "PupRegistration64bit" batch file. What steps did I miss to where I wouldn't have this available?
you just past it 35:45
@@rudysarcade yup, totally missed that step. thanks!
Great! One question what is best way to add DOF after this?
This has 64bit directoutput included in the plugins64 folder you just need to set it up just like you did for 32bit directoutput. Sorry as I don't do dof I can't show you how to set it up plus everyone's setup is different.
@@rudysarcade gotcha. I think the setup is generally the same with the r3 installer, just the DOF config file is different. I’m doing fresh rebuild of 32 bit 10.7 setup. I’ll watch smaugs upgrade instructions maybe. I’m not sure where to put 32 bit version or if needed
Thank you for this tutorial! What would be different if i wanted to set this up on a 1 screen setup??
You should run the newest baller beta if you are starting fresh .just set everything on 1 screen
Do I need anything else from your files? And can I follow along with your tutorial?
@@Dustin.Orrick watch some newer videos. The new baller_installer comes with an auto updater now. It will keep all files updated for you. You won't need my files.
Oh wow! Ok thank you so much! I appreciate it!
Hey Rudy great tutorial. Do you have the Table list for the ROMs you included in the batch ?
No it's only the updated ones. Not sure what roms changed.
@@rudysarcade copy. I was unable to find the corresponding tables for a few of them; but it was great that you included them in case I run across Updates in the future for vp10.
I have had to become quite a copy and paster to make some things work :) very trial and error for sure but for the most part almost all the tables from 7.2 forward have worked pretty well without much fuss.
It’s the dang PUPs that give me so much grief ;)
@thepacketnarc7634 there is really nothing to do for puppacks. You put it in the video folders then click the batch file that you want if it comes with options. If not just put it in the folder and play. If they don't play it's because something else is not updated or set right.
@@rudysarcade Yes correct; I was more speaking in terms of 'many' Pups having only a 3 screen mode or 'FullDMD' mode where you kind have to d1ck with it, set the form to back, bring the flexDMD forward and resize it to 'sort of look right'.. All in all it's straight forward but it isn't for the faint of heart to try and modify one that isn't set out of the box for 2 screen only.
Hello, can you help me? I want to reinstall VPX from scratch because I messed something up during the last update. My question is what should I install and what should I not install from the provided files, and in what order should I proceed? I am only using two monitors, so I don't have a cabinet, and I just want to set up B2S, colored DMD, and nothing else. Please tell me what to install and in what order. Thank you very much.

you didn't read the notes on the updated files. I deleted some files that were reduntant. only txt files and stuff not needed,
@@rudysarcade Phew ok great! Apologies I did skip around a bit as I already have a full install, was mainly doing this for color dmds which I finally have working thx to this video, much appreciated for your help!
@djdfrag I have just an update video also.. make sure you don't have any old serum files in the vpinmame folder..
did every step, and now I am getting a vcomp130.dll error when i start every game.
in the download file 15 is the c+ updates you need to run the install.bat to install them all then reboot
Thanks Rudy for this great video.
I followed everything to the letter but when I start vpinmame to test a rom, I start the rom and everything is ok but when I stop it the virtual dmd stays on and vpinmame crashes.
You have a solution to this problem
Thank you
Not sure I follow you. Did you play a table? Play the actual game and see how it does. Also you don't want vpinmame dmd and external dmd both on. If you did the vpinmame setup make sure show dmd not checked.
I'm sorry, maybe I explained myself badly I start a table, play and until then everything is ok when I close the game it crashes and the black ntutyo dmd remains I'll start by saying that I did a new installation from scratch

Is this video ahow how to fix issue like music play on sff or no music at all?
Need to check your windows sound settings, vpx settings for 10.7 and 10.8, also vpinmame settings make sure altsound not checked. Adjust the rom volume.. also check vpinmame volume with the + and - keys on the keyboard.
Can you show how to setup for a single screen please. I would like the backglass to show but all I have is the dmd. Also my tables seem to [play over pup packs. Any and all help is appreciated.
1 screen need to play in window mode. Also run the b2s screenres identifier in the tables folder to set the backglass screen
@rudysarcade awesome, I'll give it a try. Thank you

@@rudysarcade thank you
Has anyone had problems with dmd not working on 10.8 ? The dmd works fine in 10.7.
If you can play the table then the dmd is working. Maybe hit F1 make sure it's enabled.. Also make sure you are in window mode so the dmd is on top if you in desktop
@@rudysarcade Thank you that fixed the problem!
Sorry I'm new to this having a little problem though when I try to play 10.8 it's in desktop instead of cabinet I download your files and use them did I miss something in the video
open the editor then click preferences then video and on the left side make sure view mode is cabinet.
if you on 10.7 samething except on the left side check use always FS backdrop
@@rudysarcade 10.7 is correct in cabinet mode everything looks good on there but when I do 10.8 and change the cabinet mode on the left side it put the image the other direction but still sideways on the screen
I'm wondering if I should reinstall my windows it's an older installation it's up to date though Windows 10 pro with a 1070 at 16 gigs of memory
@michaelwhited5649 oh yea if you followed the video you will see that is natural because that table was saved in the old vp10 beta need to reset the table.
@michaelwhited5649 you didn't watch the video.. go to 1hr 34min in

Which of the individual component updates are needed if you start with the November 2023 BALLER installer instead of the April 2022 one?
If you are on baller do my 32 to 64 update video. Updates everything

@@rudysarcade I saw that video as well, but thought it was for updating older versions of BALLER (such as 04-2022), not the November 2023 release. I did notice that the 11-2023 Baller did not give me VPX 10.8.
@colindunn9964 yes it does.. Nov baller has 10.8
@@rudysarcade I stand corrected - appears 10.8 is 64-bit only and the presence of both 32- and 64-bit in multiple versions had me confused for a bit.
I wish i saw this video before i started. my setup is a mess and I only got 2 or 3 tables actually running and couldn't get the dmd running on another screen. seems i missed a lot of steps! . starting fresh now :) I'm just playing on pc but i have 2 main screens and a 7" tablet. i want the dmd on the tablet screen and I have one screen vertical for the table itself, which me luck.
If you are starting fresh watch my 2024 video and grab the latest baller_installer. Super easy and comes with a built in updater.
@@rudysarcade did that!. have a few tables up and running how want them now in a 3 screen setup (3rd screen is a 7" tablet for the dmd).. slowly learning. Loving it. The Stranger Things one is awesome. That's just one, there a re so many amazing creations there! Have an issue with TWD though, randomly after a ball lost it will just totally lags, like the dmd will go to 1 fps and takes forever to release a new ball. Not sure if I missed something? Maybe wrong version or something? Have updated VPX64 to 10.8
@@Punkologist yea walking Dead must be played in 32bit
ahh that probabaly explains it I have been running it on 64bit. thanks! I'm a .Net dev.. I'm considering looking into building some sort of table installer program. Where you could choose PupPack options etc, and it would automatically put all the files in the right place. You would just have to tell it where the various files you have downloaded are and which emu to launch with. Just discovered all this a week or so ago an I'm hooked! I have hardly even played them, just enjoying setting them up.
@DanielMitchellPunkologist there is really nothing to do. Put the puppack in the folder and click what bat file you want. Then play the table. No need for another program. Puppacks and tables only go in 1 place
could you please make a video on how to put the music (mp3s) in the game? I'm having issues with def leppard 1.3 table, I keep getting error "Bass music/sound Libary cannot load C:\Pinball\Visual Pinball\Music\Foolin.mp3(error 2: cant open file). It does it with all the mp3s in the list. I put the list of mp3s in the "C:Pinball\Visual Pinball\Music" (no sub folder) (pulling my hair out) lol
It has to be in the exact location and naming that's all.. I will look at it.
Oh andbe sure you say "make sure your using the correct file type" Im a (ID 10 T) lol i figured it out .
what would cause the backglass of all my tables to shift to the left ? I have fixed every one of them (one at a time) 3 times now. i have tried using the save global, but it messes all of them up.
Resolution change. Just rerun the screen location.it will move them all .
@@rudysarcade i went in to (pinup popper config) then clicked (popper setup) (screen/theme) then (configure displays/locations) they were all correct. clicked save then went in to vpinball to check one and BG didnt move. am i doing it wrong? i really dont want to have to reset each one by hand. there is a lot lol
@SectorZero6969 popper screens are just popper. Has nothing to do with vpx. You need to setup the b2s server screen locations
@@rudysarcade sorry im lost. Do you have a video on this?
@SectorZero6969 it's the b2s screenres identifier.. it's in this video also. I have a bunch of update videos and install videos they all cover it.
