It’s finally here! The all new “Tarcisio Theme” for Pinup Popper!

Created by the talented Tarcisio Caleiro!

A stunning collection of beautifully created images and videos for Popper’s Default System media. This currently includes:

– an eye-popping metallic chrome wheelbars

– clean and immaculate Popper System wheels

– jaw dropping videos for Loading, Playfield, and Backglass

This theme was designed to work perfectly with Tarcisio’s other Table Wheel collections that was created for VPX, FX3, FX2, and more. It’s HIGHLY recommended that you use those wheels with this theme. They’re beautiful! That being said it still works great with all other wheel images.

There are 4 versions of the theme to choose from:

4K (3840×2160) Tarcisio Theme

3K (3200×1800) Tarcisio Theme

2K (2560×1440) Tarcisio Theme

HD (1920×1080) Tarcisio Theme

The only difference between them is the resolution of the Wheelbar, default Playfield and Loading videos. Everything else is the same. So if you have a 4K TV for your playfield…then you would want the 4K version. That would give you a 4K Wheelbar, 4K Loading video and 4K Playfield videos. You can however mix and match the wheelbar or videos from different version if they perform better for you.

Installation:

(This installation will overwrite your Popper DEFAULT media! Make any backups of anything you don’t want to lose!)

Simply extract the archive of your choice to a temporary folder. Copy the POPMedia folder OVERTOP of your PinupSystem’s POPMedia folder, wherever you have it setup. When prompted, overwrite all files.

Then follow the two SETUP pictures included with the archive. It’s important you make the EXACT changes noted in those pictures!

Those SETUP pictures will have you make the following changes (REQUIRED!):

– editing the pinupmenu PuP-Pack (Popper’s Pup-Pack). You will be changing the CustPos of the Wheelbar / Select Screen. This is basically positioning and sizing the Wheelbar EXACTLY where it needs to be to line up correctly with wheels and the videos.

– change settings in your “Popper Setup – GlobalConfig – Game/Wheel Toolbar”.

-once you make these changes you MUST “Reset All Thumbs”!

NOTE: After you have RESET THUMBS…the FIRST time you scroll through every wheel in Popper navigation, it may seem a little stuttery. This is normal as Popper is building Thumb cache images as you see your wheels for the first time. After Popper has seen them all, then you will get fast and smooth browsing again.

Default media for different Emulators:

This theme install will NOT update your “Emulator Specific” default media. This is NOT the same as your PLAYLIST media! You need to copy and replace the following files from this Theme into your “POPMedianame_of_emulatorSystem” folder:

– pup_default_loading.mp4

– pup_default_PlayField.mp4

– pup_default_BackGlass.mp4

– pup_default.png

PLAYLIST Media:

You can use the media from this Theme for your Playlist Media if you want. Simply use the Popper Media Manager to choose your PLAYLIST, and simply Drag and Drop this Theme’s media to the appropriate box. You can use these files for Playlists if you like:

– pup_default_loading.mp4

– pup_default_PlayField.mp4

– pup_default_BackGlass.mp4

– pup_default_toolbar.png

Coloured Wheelbars:

Now you can have the Wheelbar for Tarcisio’s Theme any way you want it! With 8 colours and multiple resolutions to choose from, or you make your own! You can choose your own colour for the Popper default, or you can have a different colour for each Playlist! Download them here:

(including a rainbow version that cycles colours) You can choose your own colour for the Popper default, or you can have a different colour for each Emulator, or a different one for each game!

Coloured Popper System Wheels:

Note about Adding Media for custom Themes:

If you want to have your own “Popper” default videos and wheel images, then you need to copy the new media to your “PoPMedia Default System” folder.

If you want to have your own “Emulator” default videos, then you need to copy the new videos to your “PoPMedia Emulator System” folder.

Playlist media only plays when the Playlist is“highlighted”. This includes media for sub-playlists. There are no Loading videos for a Playlist.

Each and every Table however can have their own media for everything.

Don’t forget that HOME LIST can also have its own default media.

If you are using multiple wheelbars for example…don’t forget to add a wheelbar to the HOME LIST, or the last wheelbar image used within a Playlist will still be active when going back to the HOME LIST.

Tarcisio’s Table Wheel Images:

It’s highly recommended to use Tarcisio’s excellent Wheel Images with this Theme. This Theme was designed specifically for them. They can be currently found here:

A complete set for FX3 and FX2, already named and good to go for Popper!
