   Compare Popper Media - A PopperAutoRecord Companion .bat file

   By Abhcoide

   Use this utility to see which Popper Media recordings are "out of date" and move them to a folder for manual deletion.  You can undo what this does, by simply moving the media files back.
    
   You'll need to make some adjustments to the .bat file to match your setup.
    
   set "sourceDirTables=C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Tables" set "targetDirPlayfield=C:\vPinball\PinUPSystem\POPMedia\Visual Pinball X\PlayField" set "deleteDirPlayfield=C:\vPinball\Popper Media to Delete\Playfield" set "targetDirBackglass=C:\vPinball\PinUPSystem\POPMedia\Visual Pinball X\BackGlass" set "deleteDirBackglass=C:\vPinball\Popper Media to Delete\Backglass"  
   ^^^ These need to be changed.
    
   sourceDirTables should be the path to where your tables are kept.
    
   targetDirPlayfield and targetDirBackglass should be adjusted to reflect your pinup popper path.  For me, I keep PinUpSystems in C:\vPinball\ - you might keep it somewhere else and should adjust accordingly.
    
   deleteDirPlayfield and deletedirBackglass should be the path where you want these files dumped.
    
   Now that the configuration is out of the way - what the devil does this do and why?
    
   I use Pinup Popper to as my table manager and Front End.  I like it and am really happy with how I have everything configured to a Retrowave theme.
    
   Thing is, I add new tables and tinker with old ones more than I actually play.  I find enjoyment in this, much how someone with more skills than me might enjoy working on a vintage vehicle.
    
   I update or outright change tables frequently, whether it's because of a new author, VPW release, or lately @cheese3075 playfield mods.   When @hauntfreaks releases a new backglass, that's swiftly installed.  I'm particularly fund of Full DMD backglasses, as that's what I have.  - and so forth, I do have my habits.
    
   In doing these frequent updates, my recorded media in Popper becomes outdated.  I tend to do things in batches, so I can't remember what is new and what isn't.
    
   Anyway, this makes it so I do not have to remember anything.  I run bat the file and it compares the date of the media in the backglass against the the directb2s file of the same name.  If the directb2s file is newer, it moves the media.  Same is done for the .vpx file for the tables.
    
   Then you can run PopperAutoRecord to record media only where the media doesn't exist.  Now you've updated media.  Yay!
    
   This isn't a perfect utility - it is going to "pick up" tables that you've edited and saved, even if it's not a new table.  For me, this isn't as big of a deeal as PopperAutoRecord will just record a new copy anyway.

   Popper Media Saver - Bat File

   By Abhcoide

   I wrote this bat script to help me, maybe it will help someone else.
    
   You'll have to open it up and edit the source directories, to match where you have Popper installed.
    
   What this does, is it will copy the media files - of your selected table - to that directory (provided the directory matches your table name).
    
   Why would you want this?  Chances are, you probably don't!
    
   ...unless you organise your backups in the same way I do - table by table.
    
   In my backup directory - I have a folder for each table.  Inside that folder, I keep everything related to that table, such as backglasses, different table authors, media, pup backs, etc.
    
   Thing is, I don't download all my media from VPU - sometimes (particularly in the beginning) I used Popper's media selection tool.  This directly put the frontend media into popper.
    
   I curate things a bit differently now, but some of the media via popper is pretty cool.  To ensure I have a local copy, I move the bat file into the relevant directory and then double click it.  It'll copy the media (if it exists) into that directory (renaming as necessary).  Boom, now I have a local copy for my backup.
    
   Why don't I just backup the Popper Media directory?  Well, I could and probably should - but then it wouldn't be done table by table, which is how I like it.  As I said, you probably don't need/want this - but if you do, here it is!
   
    
   Example: Move the bat file to a folder "24 (Stern 2009)" Run the bat file It will then go to your popper media and copy over all files that start with "24 (Stern 2009)" These media files will be copied to 24 (Stern 2009)\Media - any duplicate names will be renamed. The bat file will delete itself when the action is done.  
   You'll note, when you look at the bat file, I'm not copying playfield or backglass.  You can add those, if you want.  For me, I don't need them because I just use popper's auto recorder to generate those.
    
   Please be aware that this version will self destruct.  That's because each time I create a table directory, a "template" of directories and files are copied over and this is one of them.  I don't need the bat file in there after it runs, so it deletes itself.

   Virtual Pinball Backup Manager (VPBM) v2.1

   By malibu

   Version 2.1 of Virtual Pinball Backup Manager is now available for download/install.
    
   Virtual Pinball Backup Manager (VPBM) is designed to manage backups of individual Virtual Pinball games within a Pinup System/Baller Installer installation.
   VPBM currently supports Visual Pinball (VPX) and Future Pinball emulators.
   VPBM supports backup and restore of a wide range of game related content, including:
   Pinup System specific
   Pinup database settings Pinup media files Pup Packs VPX specific
   B2S (backglass) files B2S settings POV (point-of-view) files Flex DMD/Ultra DMD files and folders VPReg.stg entries Custom user text files VPinMAME ROMs VpinMAME VPMAlias.txt entries VPinMAME altcolor and altsound VPinMAME NVRAM (including offset handling) All stored game specific registry settings found in 'Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Freeware\Visual PinMame' Future Pinball specific
   Game libraries - (via custom filters)  
   VPBM can be run using supplied GUI, but also can be run in a command line mode, and can be integrated into other tools using this interface. Vpin Studio is one tool making use of this feature: https://github.com/syd711/vpin-studio/wiki
    
   Version 2.1 contains a GUI uplift which addresses issues when running VPBM on hosts with varying display scaling options.
   The set of improvements include:
   The Frontend look and feel has been modernised using WPF framework
   More accurate progress updates for all operations
   Panels able to scale in line with windows display scaling
   Bugfix to support backup / restore of large games (> 5GM)
   Functionality to check backup compatibility at startup
   Functionality to support backup / restore of individual game files without the need for a full game backup / restore to be run
    
   More details can be found on the application wiki at: https://github.com/mmattner/vPinBackupManagerApp/wiki 
    
   VPBM backup files are encrypted and locked to the machine that they were created on, however a mechanism is provided to export games to a known external system. For infromation on this feature, refer to the Export Path and Export Host Identifier settings within the Application Settings help pages. This process does not allow games to be exported and shared universally.

   Virtual Pinball Backup Manager Installer

   By malibu

   Please Note - this version is outdated, refer to following link for up to date application version.
    
    
    
    
   VPBM processes a variety of game content including:
   Game scripts/files Backglass files, POV files, ROM and NVRAM files as well as alt colour/sound files (VPX) Game libraries required by game scripts (Future Pinball) Game specific Pinup Player Pup Packs Game specific Pinup Popper front end media files Copies of all stored game database settings Copies of any game specific registry settings (VPX)
     This is the first publicly released version of VPBM so feedback is welcome.
   
   The contents of a games backup can easily be viewed within the application using the tree view, while an integrated Quick View bar provides users a quick visual indication of the presence of critical files - as shown in the screenshot provided. Additionally, a Pinup View displays Pinup media, in a manner consistent with how media is displayed within Pinup Menu Setup.
    
   VPBM is not designed to replace Pinup System, in fact it depends on it to function - rather it tries to add features that make managing game files and settings easier. I found myself storing all files used by a game in a backup folder and then having to manually copy these files when I felt the need to update my system, VPBM automates this process.
    
   VPBM has been designed to quickly highlight to users when a games backup has fallen out of synch with the currently installed version of the game, allowing users to use the functions provides to address the inconsistencies.
    
   VPBM backup files are encrypted and locked to the machine that they were created on, however a mechanism is provided to export games to a known external system. For infromation on this feature, refer to the Export Path and Export Host Identifier settings within the Application Settings help pages. This process does not allow games to be exported and shared universally.
