Virtual Pinball In 2024

[@Stephman-YouTube]

Rudy! I just discovered you. Thank you for the effort you put into creating these videos for those just starting out and those of us already in this vpin hobby. Your efforts are much appreciated! I'm going to back up my old install and give this new installer a try. Keep up the lawd's work!

[@CoryB_1980]

Really appreciate all of your tutorials!

[@desz71]

Another excellent vpin guide Rudy, love your work!!! Would love to be able to grab a copy of your new PC desktop wallpaper if you're willing to share, as it looks great. I tell everyone I know in the vpin community to follow your youtube channel, as I've learnt so much from your tutorials and your knowledge of the software is unparalleled.

[@itzDriftGG]

Just wanted to thank you for this. Followed the installation instructions and have been enjoying pinball with pinup packs in VR for hours :)

[@1973Reeves]

Hi Rudy, so I'm just doing a brand new install. I see you have a few installation videos for pinup popper, which are great by btw. But it's a bit confusing to know which one to follow. Does this latest version supersede the others? + with regards to the download folder titled "VPinball Complete Update 3-24-24", is this not needed now? if this guide does supersede the others then would it not be better for any newcomers to just delete the previous ones? Regards, Adam

[@rudysarcade]

The rest are updates and more information. This is the latest fresh install video with baller

[@w0mblemania]

This was excellent. Thank you.

[@Barnolde77]

Great tutorial. Thank you for your time and effort.

[@scorpio6819]

Excellent easy to follow video, thx a lot great as always 👍

[@sam27753]

Exzellent tutorial, on point! Thank you Rudy! You dont mentioned the different altcolor dmd's, this works also right out the box?

[@rudysarcade]

yes just run the setup.exe and enable color for all or hit F1 in table and enable color.

[@mikeparker1437]

Great video, thanks!

[@RIFT2000]

Hi & thanks Rudy for your awesome tutorials. I have an older version loaded in my machine (ver. 1.4.6.462). The number of updates look daunting. Will running the new Beta Builds Bonanza over my existing system kill it? Newbie, of course. Thx!

[@rudysarcade]

Yes.. don't try that

[@jaymecernicka5212]

Great guide. Do you have a different video dedicated to downloading new tables after installing this? Configuration went well, but I’m new to adding tables. My Skillshot came pre-loaded with FX3 titles. I got some sort of ROM error. Is that a separate download outside of the table?

[@rudysarcade]

I have a beginner guide that covers about 2hrs of information

[@terrysmith3767]

Excellent as always Rudy! Can you go over your Nvidia settings again? I was curious if they have changed since the original video. I still cant get frame pacing to run smoothly on my machine, when the flashers go off the ball starts stuttering. Im on a 3070ti and have tried numerous different settings to no avail.

[@chhst30]

@rudysarcade thank you for the great videos! after completing these steps, what should i copy over from my backup of my old computer's c:Vpinball folder? want to avoid the hours it took to setup all those tables to work in the front-end!

[@martynstrange5174]

If you 'think' you have installed the c++ packages but are not 100% sure, would it harm to install them again anyways? Or is there a way of checking? Great content as always, and always new you was going to blast past that 1000 subs!

[@rudysarcade]

Yes no harm in installing them again

[@Tech-Freak]

thx Rudy great video :)

[@curtwiederhoeft6846]

Can you share where you got that Desktop picture? I've got popper playlists sorted by machine type, and I need a good image for Solid State machines. That looks perfect!

[@rudysarcade]

Just googled arcade wallpaper

[@curtwiederhoeft6846]

@@rudysarcade Thanks.

[@crennyw]

Hi Rudy! I'm still to finish my build, and I''m shifting to a 4 screen setup. playfield, real DMD under the glass just above the plafield, Full DMD that I'd like to play Pup packs on, and then the backglass where I'd like to display the regular backglass. Can you tell me what screens from the setup go where? And I've updated to your Nov. full update, but now it's January - what should I install to get up to date? Thanks!

[@rudysarcade]

If you did November you should have popper 1.5 auto updater. It will keep everything up to date. Set it up exactly how I did in the video except pick real dmd. But place all your screens how I did on the 3 screens. Really kinda pointless to have a real dmd and the full dmd. You can use it for dof and have lights for some tables but really just an extra pain to mess with and redundant dmd. And it won't use B2S dmds those will be on the full dmd. But it's your machine just set it up as 3 screen with real dmd.

[@crennyw]

@@rudysarcade I saw a system with RealDMD just above the playfield - instead of flashing LEDs it was playing the scoring and other video style content that plays on the DMD. It was cool so I'm trying to do that. I want to put PupPacks on the Full DMD, and the backglass can have the traditional backglass. I'm struggling to get my Windows 11 PC to recognize the RealDMD. I'll be glad when I have this stuff mastered!

[@davidblackburn9169]

Hi what version is this? I'm sure i have 1.5 pinup popper but there's no update in the top right corner on mine 😞

[@rudysarcade]

@@davidblackburn9169 then you nor on the latest. It's linked below the video

[@solomanwill]

Hi. I missed the Test DMD part around 7:08 is there a way to go back to that? I couldn’t find it in PinUp popper setup. Thanks for your videos!

[@rudysarcade]

No need you can just move the dmd manually

[@cliffwolfe]

Hi Rudy, I installed a Dude board in my older setup and it worked fine, but I wanted to do a refresh, and I formatted the drive and installed a fresh copy of Win 11 and Baller installer 2311 from Nov 30, 2023 and everything went well except for one issue that I got an error on FlexDMD that I diagnosed it to be an error where FlexDMD did not register and that was corrected. My main question is that the new Dude board that I put in on the older setup (it worked fine on that) but does not work on the new setup. I tested the Dude board within the Dude configurator and it sees all the buttons and solenoids and all tests out well. then I checked the joy.cpl which is configured for the Dude Board and all the keys work in Windows 11. Any suggestions on what to check next ? The only other item that I can note is that in the older setup the Dude board was configured for Com Port 3 and in the new setup it set itself up as Com 4. Should I remove Baller and try it with a different version of Baller ? Thanks for any suggestions in advance. Cliff

[@rudysarcade]

@cliffwolfe not sure what a dude board is I'm guessing some button controller. But any cheap board will work.. Have you configured your buttons in vpx and popper?

[@cliffwolfe]

@@rudysarcade Yes I configured buttons in vpx and popper, I guess I will try the old KLZ board (I replaced it with the Dude board) and see if that makes it work Thanks Cliff

[@svenop]

I have an install from early 2023 and I think I'm missing out on all this new stuff. Is there a quick ballerinstaller updater type install?

[@rudysarcade]

If you are on an older baller_installer you can use my 32bit to 64bit update video it includes everything

[@tessie4204]

Can i use this pinball software on a desktop PC with one screen? Do i need to install it different because i use only one screen?

[@DHo-rw5zz]

May i ask how you run the config again? i cannot find the file. thank you.

[@carsonky]

Thanks I will be beginning this journey next weekend. With only two screens, can you combine the DMD and backglass somehow?

[@rudysarcade]

Yes you.can move the dmd to any location

[@DaveVelociraptor]

I was fine with everything until step 3. At this point I am completely baffled at what you're doing, how you're doing it, why you're doing it

[@rudysarcade]

What part? At what time? Join my discord for more help

[@dougjohnson441]

Great video, question does it need to be a fresh clean windows install

[@rudysarcade]

No mine is not I have installed it hundreds of times. Just saying if it's fresh you will probably need the c++ packages installed. But good to install them anyway if you never have.

[@jeanpierrepotvin1248]

How i place DMD and BACKGLASS if i install in 1 screen only ( i put 3 screen later ) thanks

[@rudysarcade]

@@jeanpierrepotvin1248 pick desktop and place them small on 1 screen in the left and right corners

[@cinetici]

where do flexdmd and freezy go in this setup? or are they not necessary? I'm learning

[@rudysarcade]

This installs Everything! Flex and freezy is in the vpinmame folder where it always is.

[@DooM313]

Can i play in vr?awesome video btw

[@rudysarcade]

Yes use the GL 64bit exe

[@theoldar]

I did the install just as you showed, and I am delighted! My only issue is that the DMD is too low in the DMD screen. How can I recenter it?

[@rudysarcade]

Just drag and size it with the mouse and bottom right corner. Right click and save

[@theoldar]

@@rudysarcade I really appreciate it that you replied to this! I will give that a try this afternoon. I do this while the table is running, correct?

[@rudysarcade]

@@theoldar yes

[@theoldar]

@@rudysarcade Thank you again! I followed your instructions and it worked just as you described. I have Pinball Emporium on the Legends HD, and that is fine, especially for beginners. However it's clear that Pinup Popper is more powerful and flexible, and I am so glad you showed me the easiest way to install it. And video pinball in 4K is amazing!

[@danfink8670]

Rudy thanks for doing these videos question - if I am using my gaming laptop for this could you explain how to do the screens cause I will have technically 4 screens - 1. Laptop 2. Playfield 3. Backglass 4. Dmd

[@rudysarcade]

1st of all how you going to do 4 screens with a laptop? Laptop is not really good for Vpin as the laptop screen will always start 1st and it's hard to keep the screens in the correct order in windows. 2nd the screens must be from left to right Playfield, Backglass, DMD, laptop and you could use laptop as a Topper

[@danfink8670]

@@rudysarcade will it work unfortunately I didn’t know that 4k atgames was coming out so I bought a nice laptop that should be able to handle the 4k and my previous system isn’t strong enough to run 4k The newer laptop is a i9 13 gen with a 3080ti and 32 ram 5200. While my old desktop is using a 2060 and i5 11 gen and 16ram …..ugggggg

[@rudysarcade]

@danfink8670 not really. As a laptop normally only has 1 extra output. Unless your laptop comes with 3 outputs or at least 2 it just really isn't viable.

[@danfink8670]

@@rudysarcade I have these ports below 1x Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2 / DP) 3x Type-A USB 3.2 Gen 1 1x RJ45 1x (8K @ 60Hz / 4K @ 120Hz) HDMI 1x Mini-DisplayPort v1.4 1x Mic-in/Headphone-out Combo Jack

[@rudysarcade]

@danfink8670 so you can use 1 hdmi port for the playfield and you can get a cable and use the mini display port for the backglass that's it.

[@FabricioGusyCiaravinoGusy]

Hello, is it possible to use the Oculus controls to play with these applications? Thank you

[@rudysarcade]

I'm not positive as I have not messed with the VR part but I know you can play in VR with the GL version

@@rudysarcade Thank you so much. I will try to locate that version

@@FabricioGusyCiaravinoGusy it comes in the install

buddy, can i install all of these on top of the messed up installation I did without losing my setup tables? I'm so afraid of losing my pulp fiction with flexdmd and pup

[@rudysarcade]

is it a popper installation? as long as its an older popper install then yes follow this video to use popper backup. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2muq5ahqdOBq7ssi=2U7X5iMl4PeGb5zW

[@MrMurmel]

Thank you so much! But why does it not save the view I adjusted in VPX64 (F6 - Edit). Going to save and as soon as I reboot the view is set back...

[@rudysarcade]

Watch the pov video.. but basically no need to save a table anymore.. when in the POV mode after you make your changes just press the start button or 1 on the keyboard to create a .ini file with all the information for that table.. that way if the table updates you can use the saved ini for the new table.
