Have full cabinet and hardware, now I need software

[java388]

Hi,

I have a VP cabinet with everything.  I am curious if anyone knows what I need to get it up and running.  What type of hard drive, software, etc.  I have the cabinet, buttons, screens, everything, BUT the software and hard drive to run games.  Any help would be great.

- choose backglass server when it asks.

- same install method, so first part is done. This is how you install machines. Bookmark it, go back to it until it becomes natural.

That is basically it. Rest is dependant on hardware you add later on. DOF, SSF etc. You didn't mention any of these so I left it out.

Later on, you might consider updating to the latest, non official build.

- use the small drop down over VPB Download, pick the highest number - currently 3705. Extract and overwrite everything in c:\visual pinball\ folder

- latest beta of vpm, the "engine", extract into c:\visual pinball\vpinmame -overwriting everything. Open then that folder, run setup.exe - press install button. This is a tread, by the time you get to this point. Who knows, maybe you need to scroll and find even newer releases. Look for Carny's posts.

This should get you up and running. There are things I can't really tell you. The size of db2s and stuff, it is related to your screen resolution. You just have to look these things up yourself I'm afraid. There is myriads of guides and tips out there and you will need to get your hands dirty trying, cursing and retrying until your happy.

Good luck.
