RCAerobat Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hello, I am still new to all of this and I want to make sure I don't do anything that will mess up what I already have running. Currently I have a cabinet and I am running vp 9 tables. I would like to install and play some vp 10 tables but I am uncertain what exactly to install and where to install it. Do I need the full installation or the stand alone exe? Then, where do I place it so as not to screw up my vp 9 games? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imagamejunky Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 **** RULE #1 that I ALWAYS follow when making big changes to VP-- Make a complete backup copy of your working Visual Pinball Folder!!**** 1- Download the "standalone exe" VPX from VPforums http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=11572 OR from VPU 2- Unzip and place all of these files into your existing Visual Pinball Folder (where your VP files and VP exe's already exist) 3- YES to overwrite existing files when asked 4- If you are like me (and many others) you already had your vbs files in your tables folder (core.vbs, bally.vbs, etc etc). If so, then copy/paste the new vbs files from the new Scripts folder into your Tables folder. YES to overwrite when asked. 5- Download/install the latest VPinMame files if you haven't already 6- Download some bad ass VPX tables and ENJOY "where do I place it so as not to screw up my vp 9 games?" VPX won't screw up your existing VP9 exe's (or tables). The VPX exe and the other VP exe's co-exist in the same VP folder. You will load the VPX exe to play VPX tables and you will still use your VP9 exe's to play the VP9 tables. VPX creates it's own registry values also, so it will save it's own settings and has no effect on the saved settings of VP9. NOTE-- You no longer need to download "cabinet tables". All of the VPX tables can run on both desktop and cabinets. Just set it up in the VP preferences. Have fun Junky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCAerobat Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Hey, Over the years, I have mostly been into flying "Pattern" planes. That means flying competition aerobatics in one of 5 different classes based on ability. However, I actually haven't flown in several years. I also have flown some helicopters and have purchased a quad copter and camera to try. RCAerobat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCAerobat Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 One other question. I have not yet gotten the SAM tables to work. I will try that again, but do the newer Stern tables in VPX require that the SAM stuff is working corectly? Thanks, RCAerobat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCAerobat Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 OK then, I'm going to try and get the SAM tables working before I go to VPX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCAerobat Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 OK, I haven't been able to spend much time working on the cabinet lately, but I have gotten the SAM tables going!!! I used this post and it helped me to get that worked out... http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/2285-help-needed-getting-sam-tables-up-and-running/ I will try the VPX install soon and let you know how it goes. Thanks! RCAerobat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCAerobat Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 I just wanted to say thanks for your advice. I have my new VPX tables up and running! Now I think I am going to get some Physmod5 tables going because there are several games on that version that aren't elsewhere. Are there any tricks with the PM5 install or is it basically the same? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobAlbright Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 No special tricks. Just use the physmod exe to launch the table. May I recommend the pm5 Medieval Madness. Plays very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
