Never meant to imply this could not be done in Popper. I’ve never used it and don’t know anything about its integration capabilities. Fact is, I don’t have any front-end installed at the moment. Had to do a hard reset a couple of months ago, and I have only done any work with VPX since then. Just start through the editor.

The point is not so much…[Read more]

Right, you would have to compile the list manually. Copy off the information you want from scripts, release posts, or your own notes. In this chicken and egg scenario, you’d likely have to have this started and with most of the popular tables done and made publicly available before devs would invest the time to make this happen (unless it were…[Read more]

You might take a clue from how MAME front ends use and display history.dat. VPinMAME now has a history.dat pinball subset but I’m not aware of any virtual pinball front ends that make use of it. However, PinballX has a plug-in system. PinballY is open source and has some sort of Javascript add-in functionality. Should be doable.

The real labor…[Read more]

Right, but could be cool to get the VPX polish. A lot more work though.

Can you post as download in VP resources section? I have @rascal version of Strike Master installed on my cabinet, the fantastic p2k version. Seems quite doable to make the clone. Update to VPX? I don’t know if I’ll ever get around to it myself. Too many things on my current to do list. But at least any resources that seem rare won’t get lost in…[Read more]

what is VPINBALL?

It’s the friends we made along the way.

In the post above this one, I replaced Aerosmith_cards with ones based on higher res sources. Please re-download.

I don’t claim license or copyright to SAMBuild as it is virtually identical to the official source. It should simply be considered a derivative work using the same license as PinMAME and any rights revert to PinMAMEdev. The SAMBuild source code is always publicly available as is PinMAME. As such, inclusion of SAMBuild in any commercial product…[Read more]

Not sure what you are suggesting here. Setting up a virtual screen to route display of the source PostDMD image? Likely still have issue with latency. It’s CPU intensive and my CPU is 5+ years old at this point.

I’ll start first with feature request to @nailbuster to flip the renderer for score display on p2k. Had to do that to get support for…[Read more]

I’ve been down this road years ago with various solutions including the ones mentioned. Before freezy dmdext, the solution I came up with for FX2 was to capture and stream in real-time via localhost network loop using ffmpeg. It was this work that led to the capture engine for PBXRecorder. Problem is that if this is using the entire 16:9 display t…[Read more]

Can display be flipped for p2k style cabs?

I suspect conspiracy to troll. But then my theory is everything is a conspiracy.

no one just jumps in and starts working on and releasing VP tables without having to do some research on processes in the forums. No one goes to the forums and doesn’t encounter some discussion on etiquette. So, it’s a troll.

You just re-downloaded the table, and it worked? Ok. Weirder things have happened, I guess.

64bit build is experimental, not optimized, and for developers only at this point. It has gotten used a few times though. See Pinball Labs (failed kickstarter).

I wasn’t talking about the alphanumeric display. Thanks for uploading though.

Those LED lights in the screenshot are authentic? I don’t know, man.

Yes. Anything by polygame – check out Reel It In! or Take-Out Lunch. And he has a whole series of tables for Tribute to the 80s aside from Tutenkham. There are tables based on Tempest, Asteroids, Pole Position, etc. Robots Invasion is his take on Pinball 2000. Polygame is one of the greatest of all time.

Yes, I recall that it was Popotte’s. NM.

I was disappointed in the direction toppers went as video loops are not rom/code controlled and many, many (hundreds) are just not authentic. And no one seemed to care.

Can now dispense with this as the dead end that it is and create PuP Packs/PuPVideos that look and behave more like authentic toppers.
