- New HOW-TO video on getting up and running with your virtual pinball cabinet with the awesome Popper "Baller" Virtual Pinball Installer. Now available: www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/...
I’m just now realizing how complex Popper is… in terms of how all of the bits were put together to make this system work… as someone who’s done work in AHK, I can only imagine the work put into this. Thank you, sir. Brilliant.
David may have missed his calling as a teacher. Clear, concise and to the point. Just the way I like it. Cheers.
David, this makes installing VPX, your fantastic front-end and all the necessities a real breeze, no fiddling with parameterfiles anymore. Just your baller installer and tada ... a fully working virtual pinball machine in less than 10 minutes (on my machine). Three deep bows (with my nose touching the ground) and a lot of cheers for all the hard work on the Pinup System!
Thank you so much David! This worked so well for me. Hopefully many people donate for all the hard work that you do for the community! It is very much appreciated.
A great idea to combine things in this way.
We all know setting up from scratch while being a noob can be a huge pain.
So many programs each with their different purpose and setup havoc.
Thanks for all the time you invested in this sir!
Thank you David for all your hard work and time spent on this to make things easier for us in the pinball community! Great video, very informative.
Thank you so much! This is an incredibly generous thing to do for the community. I just ran through the installer and it worked perfectly. Really looking forward to FINALLY getting some use from my new build. Thank you again!
You're going to save a lot of people so much frustration with this! Really amazing you made this!
This is amazing. It takes literally a few minutes to set up. HOWEVER, I am still glad I learned the old way as there are things you must do to get setup behind the scenes that if you learned the old way, you will have a better understanding of when you get this up and running. GREAT WORK!
Thank you so much for this! I'll be starting to build my first virtual pinball cabinet this weekend and this eliminates a lot of my intimidation I've had getting started in the hobby.
This seriously makes me want to cry! I just finished setting up my cab and getting everything working properly about two weeks ago. After working on it for about a month and a half I muscled through about every problem you could possibly have. The tutorials and forums were a big help. Thank you so much my kids love playing virtual Pinball. I just wish this was out a couple months earlier LOL.
I feel your pain..!
Great tutorial Nailbuster! This will really help Newbies or anyone setting up the software again the headache of tracking down the various programs that make VP work. If I ever need to reinstall all my software, you made it a piece of cake now. Cheers!
Thanks so much for all you guys do. I have a pretty old PC with everything set up, but I've bought a brand new higher end PC and really looking forward to using this to get my new PC up and running. All VPin contributors do amazing stuff.
This is simply amazing. I was up and running in no time. Thank you so much for all your hard work!
Hi could you tell me where you found the file? I joined Facebook group and discord there is nothing for original file just updates?
This is the best tutorial ever for this frontend
Thanks you for all your efforts, it is much appreciated as I don't really enjoy fiddling with different software, I am sure you also saved me a considerable amount of time. I recently set up a gaming computer with an i5-12400 and 1660 super. Today I followed all the steps from this video and successfully set up all three monitors with the "Baller Installer". A 40" 1080p Samsung TV, 26" 720 Samsung TV (backglass) and a 14" Dell computer monitor for the virtual DMD. I plan to follow your other videos to figure out how to add in at least a few 90's DMD games to VPX. I plan to make a cab that has a real homebrew Solid State pinball machine of my making , this will use the 26" screen for videos and scoring and the ability to manual place and hook up the 40" screen on the cab for the virtual experience.
Super tutorial. As soon as my kids let me, I'll install your build. Many thanks
So looking forward to this
Thanks NailBuster
Really very helpful
Great stuff. The work you have done is amazing
Just subscribed! Thank you, just finished cabinet on the hardware side, will try this at the weekend😁
Good to see this is being streamlined more and more for ease of access. I remember when configuring MAME with front ends was a chore. Now it's basically downloading and moving a file. Going to try this out in a few months i hope. ALP arrives tomorrow, PC has to wait.
Amazing work! Thank you
Thank you very much, the truth is that everything was very well explained and the program helps us a lot. Incredible work.
I never comment, but feel I must. B R A V O. This video made everything a snap to install. The big plus - everything worked the first time - no screwing around and getting frustrated. Can't say thank you enough!
This is brilliant and was so helpful. Saved me a tonne of time. Thanks.
Thank you so much for the great tools and free guidance.
This is amazing, thank you!
WOW!! What a great work!! Thank you!!!
Thanks for all your work sir just getting started and this video was a godsend.
Thank you very much! Great software package and video.
Little late to the game, but since i'm doing a fresh install i figured i'd check t out, really clear good install tutorial here man, nice work!
thanks for all the work 😉
Wow can’t wait
This is awesome. It's implied at 6:00 that anti-virus should be off. It's worth noting that reboots may turn Defender back on after you set your screens set right. The rebooting for me turning Windows Defender back on.
Thanks a lot for al this great work!!!. I have a question, i have used your past tutorials to install the Popper System. Do you know when you will release the Pinup System 1.4.6 version to upgrade my system? Or do you recomend install the Baller one.
Wow, this looks easy to setup, I wonder if i can use a 3-5 year old laptop and a 40" TV for the playfield. Just as a bench test. Thanks for the video, I might just give this a shot.
Awesome tutorial! However, I have a single display setup and I'm not having any luck with the Popper front end. Can you please do a setup tutorial on single screen desktop mode? And setting up the different views and adding tables etc... for newbs like me?
Brilliant work mate
This looks awesome for sure! The part about having all of your hardware hooked up… If I am planning on doing a two screen set up, but I want to test on two different screens from the ones I am ultimately going to go with, would that still work? Would I just be able to re-run the ball or installer and it was just over right the things that changed but keep everything else the same?
Youdaman, You will become all newcomers's best fiend.
As a newcomer, I can confirm he is now my best friend lol thanks for letting me beta test - this is awesome!!!
I picked up a drive that has the pinup-popper baller installer. I purchased it from retro lizards arcades. I love this drive it has so many awesome tables. My question is on my set up I have an NFL Buffalo Bills table but I would like to see a NY JETS themed table instead. Is there away to change the NFL teams for this table? I believe it’s a Sterns table.
Thanks for the informative videos they really help us newbs when we are messing around with our games.Thanks
🙏
Great thx 👍
Where can I find the settings/config file to adjust the Playfield resolution to 1440p
(Only 1080p/4k available during setup)
dmd in the playfield , in the frontend, and in the apron in the menu arc
New to pinup popper and was setting up joytokey but having a small issue but have no clue to resolve it. When scrolling through games tables list in vpx , left flipper scrolls through list. If I hit right flipper it automatically kicks me out of vpx table list and back to main lepprechaun table. I have no clue why? Only way to scroll right in the game list is by right shift key on keyboard. Makes no sense. Also I wish in set up i could figure how to set up nudge buttons in popper. I am using ALP. Thanks for the videos, so much to learn.
If I do a re-install I will use it ;-)
This is all awesome but is it out yet? Where is the download information? Where can I download it from?
thanks for all your efforts towards this hobby. i have a lame question though. i'm very early in the build, and i wanted to make sure i get the software working prior to the woodworking. When you say have all of the hardware installed, do you mean just the monitors? Do DOF toys count as hardware?
Which layout would I pick if I use two normal horizontal PC monitors? Just a normal set up, like, normal computer setup on a desk two monitors.
23:04 Not all BackGlass Images have the DMD positioned in the same spot or size, so on a 2 screen setup is not positioned right for that backglass screen, so with Stop Test is that done on every table ?
Baller was amazing on my desktop computer (single screen). I messed something up when I then went to use baller on my pinball cab (3 screens)- vpx was perfect but Future was completely messed up. I’m sure it was something I did. Will give it another go.
I'm having a horrible time trying to get the Popper front end to work on my single screen desktop mode. None of the games load properly, the playfield view can't be changed, the front end view is rotated sideways with no way to change it and when I hit Z to exit, my task bar disappears and I have to either hit ctrl, alt del to go into task mgr and stop the Popper processes or I have to hit the windows key and restart my computer.
Ok I’m a bit lost on some finer details.
1. How do I get media from the front end (say a video on the topper, or image on the DMD) to stay up when a game loads? I’ve seen it happen but can’t find the settings for it.
2. What exactly does the section in the set up does “keep PUPs display ON” mean/do?
Does A allow for different positioned DMD ?
I use 2 screen's with Freezy's DMD2TXT overlaid on the 2nd screen positioned nicely, for each blackglass if required, You must allow Regedit to position the dmd different for those backglasses, Yeah it's the hard way,
If I have ssf implemented currently do I just have to go into vpx and change the settings to 7.1?
Need help or suggestion please.. my dilemma is I built a arcade cab with a desktop screen scenario with a full DMD and a back glass( a stand up 2 player cab with 3 screens)...I tried the 3 screen setup and then tried to use the desktop orientation wheel setup so I could view the words properly but didn't work ...is there any solution that can be suggested for this?
David as new tables appearing using 10.70 can i just update 10.6 to this or do i need to run them separate in pinup popper? Thanks 😁
If i have a Tablet im using as a 16:9 dmd, and 2 screens (backglass/playfield) what setup am i supposed to choose?
very good video, i got ssf working with fx3, but if launch through popper all the sudden ssf wont work. i cant seem able to find how to fix through wiki page. can you point me to the right direction?
After going through the setup, all of my tables AND frontend are 270 degrees instead of 90. (Probably a bad decision made somewhere along the way) Is there a way to go back and config this? Not sure if this is a global setting somewhere or if I need to deal with things one by one.
Hello, Thank you for all your hard work building this I cant wait to try it! I have a problem though, I can't seem to download it from the Install Now button or the install link under it on your website? I have tried two different browsers however nothing starts downloading. I have disabled my anti virus, I missing something? Please help!
Excelent recopilation, its out of service int his moment right? or if required to donate to can have access to this wonderful tool? Saludos
Thanks David Just installed and setup as you instructed but I have a question regarding usb button controller. I can run the device test in windows ok and everthing is working but when i try to configure buttons in pinup config nothing happens. the buttons are not recognised ?
the Popper Baller Installer software is not available for download? if not where can it be found?
I’m sure it’s Dof or something I did wrong but solenoids work on Terry Reds Retro table but not any other tables :(
What caused the gray squares when you tried loading the table? Mine does this and I want to fix it
Will this work on a laptop o
The custom script 'Fix VPX Displays' sounds really useful. Can someone please point me where i can learn more about what it is actually doing?
I think the link to your Install/Baller installer is not work on you website every time i press install the screen flashes and I'm unable to get it. Thanks for all the work you do.
In a system with a single screen for use with VR how is the installation done? are there settings only for VR?
could i uninstall the few components i do have, and then use this?
This is a great software. I have only one question: is it possible that there is a bug in the baller installer when you only use desktop mode (only one Monitor)? The screens settings will be ignored when you start the frontend. I set up everything by running the config. PF left and BG + FullDMD on the right side of my monitor but when you start the front end every screen is on top of each other. In my cab with 3 monitors everything is fine. and i put this problem in a facebook group and other people have the same problem. Can you help me? thanks Sascha
This looks awesome! I've already got some parts up and running, so unfortunately I can't use the Baller installer. I was just wondering, is there some way to adjust the RealDMD on the FullDMD like you did at around 15:50, without the Baller installer?
did you ever find an answer for this? i need it also.
What can one use to install with a 1 screen laptop 💻?
Will there also be a single update from 1.4.5 to 1.4.6 ? Couldnt find it on your webside :(
My b2b server pops up over my pup packs and have to ctr+alt+del to close b2b in or to see my pup packs. Any fix for this? There is no backglass in the tables folded for pup pack games
I can't seem to get my lcd dmd to show up on my list of monitors when setting up. So I don't have a place to drag it to when setting up monitors in the software. help please!
Is there an updated guide for the latest install file? because i cant find the Layout screen and its completely different to this guide. oh and lots of access code violation errors, (fresh install windows 10 on new SSD).
If things get messed up can you run the installer again or do you need to remove everything first? I have an issue where FlexDMD is not working for UltraDMD tables despite having all four green checks in the FlexDMD UI.
I see you get the grey distorted screen when launching a table here and I know you say don't worry about it, but I get this all the time on my current setup that I built and for the life of me cannot figure out why. Have any insight on why this happens?
see pinup wiki. search 'squares'
So I'm doing all this stuff on the actual pinball correct? Not on a single monitor like this video shows?
Can this be used on just a pc with 1 monitor and is the install the same ?? Thx. I'm gona buy the atgames pinball and do this
If I'm planning on adding a topper display at some point... would it be wise to go ahead and get it now before running this? Or will it be fairly easy to add it later?
topper displays are one thing that can easily be added in future.
@@NailBuster Good to know, thanks for the reply!
This is great but now needs to be updated at the latest VPX is far less buggy.
How do I go back to the config page after the install?
I'm a new to the visual pinball and world would like to started off right. I couldn't locate the baller installer zip file. Can someone please provide the link to me?
How to add a 3rd monitor to Future Pinball? I had no problem moving the dmd and changing the bg on vpx, but fp is a mystery. I set up with baller installer but only had two screens at the time.
Following 😁
Can I install it after I have installed pinup popper?

Can the baller installer be used with a drive that only has FX3 installed - or do I need to remove it and re install it? Thank you.

Im having ISSUES!!! Everytime i start a game in the pinup front end it says can find vpx starter, i have no clue pls help
I can’t record backglasses. It always comes up as the playfield. Can you help?
Author skipping over details assuming everybody has a certain level of knowledge, a lot of his instructions are going straight over my head, i dare say for many this is childs play, unfortunately i fall into the "computer thicko" category.
Hi, what ist your Remote Desktop Software?
I can't find the baller installer link.
I wish there was an easy way to actually download this. Unfortunately it's sign up locked on two social media sites :
I don't see the ball when I load a table. How do get the ball to launch?
