    My iOS devices are too old!  I am hoping for an Android release!  I would love to play VPX on the go!

    I tried Medieval Madness and it didn't work (crash on start). Same with Pinbot, but it did get a bit further. It still crashed before I could see the table.

    Is there any place that you can download the zips for tables for the ios version.  If the VP universe would have an area I suspect many more people would use the new app.  Thanks.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to edit the script on the iPhone itself? Trying to change the flipper setting on Cuphead Pro from 2” to 3”.

    I have a Mac so I haven't been able to dip my toe into Virtual Pins yet other than my collection that I bought on Pinball Arcade on my phone. It is so neat to see the machines people have been able to make, the only problem is that I am having issues where machines Dot Matrix's aren't visible, in a couple of instances they are placed to the left hand side of the machine. The only way I was able to see those matrixs was by making the machine TINY. Other than that the machine's gameplay is amazing. I just need to pay closer attention to the light/audio cues on the playfield.

    I started with this about a week ago and tried about 20 EMs here, most all worked.

    And somehow I also got Bond - Stern 2022 to work too.

    I've got my Addams Family vpx running on my iPhone but I don't know where to put the pinmame roms ? I don't see any pinmame or roms folder in the Files directory structure. Can anyone help ?

     

    Okay I've sorted it out .... you have to create a folder structure on your Windows computer something like this:

     

    The Addams Family/

      The Addams Family.vpx

      pinmame/

        roms/

            taf_l7.zip

     

    Then zip it all up and rename the "The Addams Family.zip" file to "The Addams Family.vpxz", then upload it to your iOS device Visual Pinball Files folder using the Apple Devices App on Windows then add it to the Visual Pinball app. Make sure you don't set the Display to "Cabinet" in the Settings otherwise you might get a black screen and think things aren't working. I thought Cabinet might give me a more top down view but I just got a black screen on my iPhone.

    Over a 100 tables running on my iPhone now .. just great!

     

    Just one question for DAZZ or anyone else: 

     

    would it be possible to get a cabinet table including the DMD? Just like the ´Zen Pinball World Tables´?

    See attached pic.

     

    Thanks for your response!

     

    Cheers,

    FD.

    Really excited about this port, but I'm really struggling to get anything to work. Tables load up, but flippers don't flip and there's no ball.

     

    The link to github for documentation is broken (404) as of March 2025.

    I have downloaded vpx files, I'm gathering that I need to separately download ROMs and then zip them together and rename the zip file with a "vpxz" extension and then move them onto my iPhone storage, is that correct?

    I totally get and appreciate that all of this is hobbyists, it's really awesome. If someone who has gotten a single table to work on iOS could post some basic instructions it would be helpful to VP newbies like me.
