Why Future Pinball? Visual Pinball X is light years ahead in every way.

This is totally different than some simple high-score competition that those sites run. This would be an on-going league that spans across multiple events with league scoring. This is how legit pinball leagues are done. Yes, this does have a couple more hoops to jump through, but the people willing to make these jumps would be more serious and honest competition.

What's the complicated part? This is basically the same method we use at league games on real machines. I mean, come on, I'm the only one trying to do something to encourage people to play... Name an easier method that doesn't require much development.

Some of the new Pup_packs for Pinup Popper use a muted ROM so music for the game is generated via the PuP Pack. They include a modified version of the ROM that has had the music removed/muted. As of right now you have to replace the original ROM with the muted one, using the same name. I'm afraid that if some of these muted ROMs get out into the public and mixed into ROM packs; that eventually ROM sets may be corrupted. Would it be possible to have new entries added into PinMAME to accommodate for MUTED ROMs? Perhaps just a new name entry like we've done for colored ROMs? Or would it be possible to add a MUTE option in PinMAME itself so it can mute the music from the ROM? This way people can just select the option for that specific ROM to mute the music.

Pinup Player enhances existing games. They add video clips and just adds that little extra. Frontend - Pinup Player is excellent. Coming from me, a diehard HyperPin user, this is a huge compliment. It makes the transition from selecting a game to playing a game; a completely transparent process. Popper is easy to setup, difficult to master and it's very fast and snappy. It just makes a better user experience overall.

Still planning on doing this in the near future.

I tested this and was not able to ever get it working with the current method of SPA. I don't think this one is going to happen... at least not by me.

Surely you’ve seen some of the new stuff we are doing, right? Pin-Up Popper front end is great. The new video interactions. I re-built the head on my cab recently. Went from a Pin2K style to a more modern Stern look with a 3rd 16” video screen. Sooooo much fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Awesome! Do you still have the real machine that you built?

Sounds like you need to re-run PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays and ensure that the screens are all setup correctly.

rosve!! Long time no see, my friend! You gotta dig into VPX as soon as you can. FX3 is ok, but VPX is where it's at.

Ok, it's been a while since I created the patcher.... So, hopefully this will work. I don't have the necessary files to test with. Would you be willing to test this out? This one is like the table patcher... has a tab to apply an existing patch and another to create the patch. VPUColorROMPatcher_v.02.rar

I haven't been following along... What kind of changes/updates are needed? The patcher has a tab at the top to Create Diff... is that what you are looking for? Or do we need a tool specifically for ROM patching (bsdiff/bspatch)?

Awesome. Thank you for sharing with our community.
