Looks great.

Once you understood how it works, it pretty easy 😉

The screenshots look pretty good! I don’t think the AI image in your post is doing it any favors though.

I don't understand how to install it. I never use linux or powershell or python. Is there an already compiled Windows version?

If you have a github account you can just download one of the prepackaged builds from https://github.com/superhac/vpinfe/actions . Note you won't see any builds unless your logged into Github.

 

 

 

If you have chrome or chromium installed then you can use the build with "slim" in its name.  If not then choose the larger non-slim marked download.  For either one just unzip and double click on .bat.

We've recently created VPinPlay online ratings, scoring, and play tracking service available in VPinFE. Its an API driven web service and fully open for anyone to use and if you want to host your own local VPinPlay its nothing but installing a docker container on your local network.

 

There's also been a lot added including DOF and realdmd support on the frontend.  You can see it in action on YouTube.  

 

As always, all my stuff is open source and feel free to use it anyway you want!
