VPX-Launcher (64bit) based on VPX 10.8.0 (Jan 2026) VPX Launcher brings seamless table selection directly into your VR headset — no more fumbling with the Windows desktop or taking off your headset just to pick a new table. The Problem: Every time you want to switch tables in Visual Pinball X, the application has to restart. In VR, this means a black screen in your headset, a jarring break in immersion, and a frustrating wait. The Solution: VPX Launcher keeps you inside VR the entire time. Browse your entire collection using flipper buttons and cabinet controls, pick a table, and a dedicated VR Loading Screen holds your headset active with a smooth transition while VPX restarts in the background. Key Features: Full table browser with filters, favorites, and "recently played" Navigate entirely with cabinet buttons — no mouse or keyboard needed 3D launcher environment inside VR with an animated virtual cabinet VR Loading Screen Highscore display with PinMAME/PINemHi integration Table metadata and artwork support (wheel images, table previews) POV and VR tweaks accessible without leaving the game Works alongside VPX-Launcher.exe for orchestrated restarts Built for VR cabinet owners who want a polished, all-in-one experience without ever leaving the headset. How it's built: VPX Launcher isn't a separate frontend or wrapper application — it's compiled directly into the Visual Pinball X 10.8.0 executable. The launcher logic lives inside the player engine itself, using the same rendering pipeline and ImGui-based Live UI that VPX already uses for its tweak menus. When VPX starts with a dummy table, it automatically enters launcher mode, turning the full game engine into your table browser. This means zero additional dependencies, no fragile inter-process communication, and native access to VR, input handling, and rendering — all in a single binary. VPX and Launcher installation guide: VPX + Launcher Installation Guide.pdf VPX Launcher v1.31 Browse and launch your entire VPinball collection without ever leaving VR. Seamless table switching with a dedicated loading screen, cabinet button navigation, filters, favorites, and highscores — all from inside your headset. Button / key setup: Visual Pinball 10 (VPX) is not made by me!!! I only coded the launcher into it. I only created the trayicon launcher app. You can find the original VPX here: https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball Many thanks to all these geniuses who have been developing VPX for years. Thanks to A. Rubin for his support making 90% of the tablepreviews! ---------------------------------------------------------------- How it works: How it looks in VR (with Virtual Desktop): https://youtu.be/U4Ditu_rzhY ---------------------------------------------------------------- Installation / Setup: install to an existing VPX 10.8.0 - folder (it will install 2 exe and a subdirectory "/vpxlauncher") launch VPX-Launcher.exe (inside yourr VPX-folder) there is a new green vpx-icon at your taskbar. rightclick to see menu settings setup your tables-folder path; set "Autostart last table" (for next start) click on apply changes click on "Launch VPX" ---------------------------------------------------------------- If you need to go with steamvr (not recommend): rename openvr_api64.dll to openvr_api64_openxr.dll rename openvr_api64_steam.dll to openvr_api64.dll ---------------------------------------------------------------- Anyone knows why my overlay is horizontal most of the time but not always? You have to change from cabinet to desktop view in VPX graphics options. If you have loaded a non working table you can click trayicon-menu "remove starttable". ---------------------------------------------------------------- How to use: key-mapping of each function is displayed at the bottom of launcher overlay ----------------------------------------------------------------- Infos about xrChecker (Trayicon Menu - Settings) This option allows you to check if your VR headset is ready before starting VPX. You have several options to respond to the availability. xrChecker communicates with openvr_api64.dll used by VPX. It is developed for openXR / OpenComposite and is currently not compatible with steamVR (more info below). For me - playing only in VR and setting up everything in 2D - this is a gemechanger!!! If i attach my VR-device, i play in VR and if not, i play/edit in 2D. I don't have to toggle anything. my settings to achieve this: active xrChecker VR-device not ready ... launch VPX in 2D VR-device is ready ... force VR. For the VR user, this changes many things, but your ini files and VPX settings remain untouched. All it changes are the responses of my modifications inside VPX. My special version of VPX_Launcher listens to the configuration sent by the tray icon app. The config-central is the tray icon app. To handle VR device availability, it uses my little helper app (located in the subfolder /vpxlauncher/xrchecker/). The screenshot of the new settings dialog shows what can now be configured. However, keep in mind that if you start the original (non-launcher modified) VPX, everything will be as it was before. Additionally, there is the option "Let VPX decide," which allows you to start VPX_Launcher as it used to (with ini settings). You can also completely disable the xrchecker, and VPX_Launcher will behave exactly as it did before this new version. ----------------------------------------------------------------- If getting any errors while autoupdating... go to /vpxlauncher/update/ delete all update_*.zip reinstall with installer restart launcher Update will be downloaded again and patch will be done again. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Version 0.71 (autoupdate) New overlay setting: VR Fontsize This needs VPX to restart (so restart table) after changing value. Default: 100% Version 0.72 (autoupdate) + 2 new previewtables Version 0.73 (autoupdate) + 9 new previewtables thx @Ext2k Version 0.74 (autoupdate) Recursive folder scan added Now tablepath will scan for tablepath/file1.vpx tablepath/file2.vpx tablepath/subfolder1/file1.vpx tablepath/subfolder1/file2.vpx tablepath/subfolder2/file1.vpx tablepath/subfolder2/file2.vpx Version 0.75 (autoupdate) There are sub-updates: Launcher can now perform small graphic updates without the need to increase the version of the launcher. Version 0.77 (autoupdate) If someone wants to launch a tablename.bat instead of a tablename.vpx you can check this by replacing the launcher by hand: - 1st param: tablepath/table - 2nd: vpx-exe - 3rd: params bugfix with memory-error while highscore-grabbing. (e.g. kiss table) Version 0.80 (installer) based on 10.8.0 RC 5 rev.2015 Version 0.83 (autoupdate) based on 10.8.0 rev.2028 Nov 2024 Version 085 (autoupdate) You can now configure the selection-wheel. Keep in mind that you can adjust the height and width of the window too. Version 086 (autoupdate) I cleaned up the positions of the elements and straightened them out. There is now also a nice border around the window (Bearbeitet) Version 0.87 (autoupdate) Many calculations corrected or made more dynamic. Now you can adjust the size of the window disproportionately to your liking. Added template system. More will be added in the future. You can also paint your own surface. Version 0.97 (autoupdate) reset overlaysize once (if installing with installer) new trayicon-app new DMD look font - display - optimization (imGui-draw) from VPX master: sdl64.dll v9 -> v10 added more templates optimized font-readability /vpxlauncher/logdata.txt is generated at start (if we need to check your settings) Launcher needs the trayicon App VPX-Launcher.exe running. To prevent wrong usage you will get an errormessage in overlay. Version 0.98 (autoupdate) now you can define subfolders for filters in your /vpxlauncher/config.xml You can make a subfolder --Top10-- and just place your files in there. Subfolder is a folder inside your defined tablepath. You can use subfolder/subsubfolder too. The foldername is casesensitive! (Like Windows handles directories.) Then you can combine the other nodes (needed and forbidden) with foldername. Or list all files of a folder if your regex is .* <-- everything matches: (Or list only favorites <forbidden>1</forbidden> of this folder) <filter> <name><![CDATA[Top 10]]></name> <needed><![CDATA[.*]]></needed> <folder><![CDATA[--Top10--]]></folder> <forbidden></forbidden> </filter> sub-folders are ok too: <folder><![CDATA[CHARTS/--Top10--]]></folder> Version 0.99 (autoupdate) now you can open VPX Exit-Menu (if you are in editmode) bugfix VPX-pause-function <-> Launcher bugfix settingchanges get lost sometimes Version 1.00 (autoupdate) you can now display a topper image, if you use it as your 2d-cabinet launcher: you can now use mp4 (if they play in windows mediaplayer) in topper-window volume can be adjusted in registry node "Volume" 0-100 if you use it as your 2d-cabinet launcher: double klick launcher-topper.reg (entries will be stored in registry) configure your screenpos here: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Visual Pinball\VP10\Launcher\topper use DECIMAL values! 🙂 place tablename.jpg or tablename.png next to vpx-file (exact same filename) + lowercase extension place placeholderfile (if no topperfile is next to table) to vpxlauncher\data\topper.jpg https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3uq0el3yw6w7vn36298ck/launcher-topper.reg?rlkey=acgmp4bha6hhgz1qa9hessve3&st=rxeddy0s&dl=1 Version 1.05 (autoupdate) compiled on VPX's 10.8.0 Final release (of Jan.30, 2025) Version 1.06 (autoupdate) bugfix: tables using VPReg.stg did not update their Launcher overlay highscores new tableartwork THANKS 2 @Ext2k Version 1.08 (autoupdate) - feature: if you place `folderconfig.ini` vpx-ini-files in your table-subfolders they will be used instead of the params/altparams. %configFile% is folderpath of %NextTable% followed by folderconfig.ini: VPinballX_GL64_Launcher.exe" -Minimized -ini %configFile% -Play %NextTable% (it's a request - you don't need to use it this way.)

Herbski1x and I would like to thank all those that helped us get this game developed/polished and presented to the community. Please take some time to read the provided rules as this game has a rather complex ruleset. Notes Rulecards are also available in game by selecting the addcredit key -- this can only be done when a ball is sitting in the plunger lane and only one ball is on the table. Some LUTS are available via the normal method of holding down the left magna save while hitting the right magna save to bring up the menu. This can only be changed prior to the game starting and will automatically be saved. ' CREDITS: Huge Thanks to Zandysarcade !!!!!!

Dragonfist, the blackbelt of pins. It's the habit that's hard to kick! Dragonfist has something that keeps the pin player coming back for more. The backglass shows the number of spinner revolutions and can give the player a special bonus when 20, 40, 60, or 80 revolutions hit. Dropt Targets in the right and left orbit lanes, and a fun to hit spinner. It's a tough game to beat, a hard habit to kick, because Dragonfist is the blackbeld of Pins. Thanks to Redbone for providing me with a freshly stitched playfield, and for helping with upscales and lots of other graphics. Redbone also took lots of videos and pictures of an real table to help me in recreation. And thanks to Hauntfreaks and Redbone for providing me with an upscaled backglass for VR. Thanks also to the VPW team for testing and feedback! The whole table was done utilizing latest VPW standards for physics, lighting, GI baking, 3D inserts, shadows, drop targets, 3D inserts, etc. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. There are plenty of options included in this table via the F12 menu including colors and marks for all targets, bumpers, flippers, walls, spinners, and LED plastic edges. There are also multiple VR room environment and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). I've included default settings for the ROM options hard coded into the script. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. Ball options are also available in the script. All other options are in the F12 menu. PLEASE NOTE: There is ANOTHER option for an updated ROM. If you use the alternate ROM... you will see the high spins to date on the Player 4 LED display during the high score attract mode. ALSO, it will preset the Max Credits to 00 (essentially putting it in freeplay mode). IF you want to change to have credits put in, you'll need to follow the instructions here: https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=tutorials&article=109 . Essentially to increase max credits... press 7 to open the ROM menu, keep pressing 7 until you see 18 in the display, then LONG press the "1" key to increase the max credits. The max credit change is only needed for the alternate ROM, not the default one. (I will also include the ROM change description in the zip package).

Gottlieb's 1980 Buck Rogers is based on the 1979 film and TV series "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.", featuring a space adventure theme highlighted by vibrant sci-fi artwork on the backglass and playfield. Thanks to cwgoss28 for providing a playfield scan and Borgdog for plastic scans. Then of course thanks to @redbone who took those scans of the playfield and plastics and did a lot of work to get them to look so good! Also thanks to Apophis for proving video and pictures of actual gameplay as well as testing. Hauntfreaks also provided the higher resolution VR backglass images. I also want to thank Sixtoe for teaching me how to improve the playfield_mesh to avoid ball sticking issues. For this table, I updated to the latest VPW standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Baked GI, walls, and created a playfield mesh for the saucer physics. The vari-target was done utilizing Roth's method, but modified to work with this table. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos (several photos and videos provided by Apophis.) to match the table shots and action. Once again, I've included several options in the F12 menu including various balls, ball brightness, flippers, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, and other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. For the ROM... since the latest VPinMAME, there is an error with older Gottlieb System 1 ROMs (they were using a bad "CF" spider chip dump all these years). So, if you download off of Pinball Nirvana... you'll likely get an error. The "New Fixed ROMs" can be found in the required software section below, called "new fixed ROMS for vpinmame" You'll see 17 ROMs in the pack. buckrgrs.zip is one of them, and you'll need that for this table. Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Gottlieb for 3 balls. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options. Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play. The default ROM has that set to off. I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Gottlieb's recommendation (190,000, 320,000 and 460,000). Also, there are settings in the menu to set replays, sound, and HSTD. All this has been done for you in the included nvram file. I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself.

"Solar Ride," released by Gottlieb in February 1979, features a captivating outer space theme and "vibrant" backglass artwork. This machine was produced in two versions: an electro-mechanical model and a solid-state version. (this is the solid state version). Not much to this table, but gameplay is fun and getting bonus early is definitely desirable. Key strategies include shooting the drop targets to light up the special, managing the bonus multiplier, and utilizing the top left lane for a 2X bonus. In the F12 instructions, I have other strategy and tips as well. Thanks to CainArg for providing a playfield scan as well as the cleanup of it. Then of course thanks to @redbone who scaled it, as well as providing the apron, and upscaling the plastics. For this table, I updated to the latest VPW standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Baked GI, walls, and created a playfield mesh for the saucer physics. Many hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table shots and action. I put as much detail into the table as I could... animating the upper gates, all the rubber animations, saucers, etc. Once again, I've included several options in the F12 menu including various balls, ball brightness, flippers, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, and other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. For the ROM... since the latest VPinMAME, there is an error with older Gottlieb System 1 ROMs (they were using a bad "CF" spider chip dump all these years). So, if you download that specific ROM off of Pinball Nirvana... you'll likely get an error. The "New Fixed ROMs" can be found in the required software section below.

This table is being released in response to the requests received and to give back to a community that has provided hundreds of fun tables that my family has enjoyed. This is a modified version of what was uploaded to VPinball. All the changes and hopefully most of the credits are detailed in the table script prolog. One obvious change is a playfield screen option menu (F6) offering changes to the game rules to help less experienced players reach the more difficult modes (e.g. Somewhere Over the Rainbow). Installation Note Included in this release package are: vpx table, backglass, ultraDMD directory, and a PUPpack. There are also DOF Configtool entries for this table. The backglass file is large and loading may require applying the 4G patch to the backglass server. The backglass provides information on game progress. Removing the backglass is not recommended even when the PUPpack is installed. There is an option in the table script under GAME OPTIONS to turn off the PUPpack triggers if you don't install the PUPpack. Images, animations and sound files will replace the PUPpack videos. However, the PUPpack videos significantly enhance the gameplay experience. Whether the PUPpack is installed or not, the backglass should still be left in the table directory. This table is available to be modified without permission. However, as detailed in the table script, this table is for private use only. Its use for any commercial purposes is NOT in anyway sanctioned or supported. Thank you.

V 1.0.8 has several key updates, fixed a handful of buggy shapes/materials that were overlooked creating some weird bounces. A bunch of other updates including a much better DMD, Scorbit and VR Mode and some new light sequences. This table and PuP Pack are a collaboration of MerlinRTP & CapNClaw Many thanks to JP Salas & Scotty Wic otherwise this table would not be possible Thanks to these additional folks for assisting Hawkeyez88 – PuP Pack Advice Team Tuga – Pup Overlays PinStratsDan/Pegula – Beta testing and bame balancing ideas Astriling21, DomLovesLobby and many others for Beta Testing This table consists of three files required for gameplay 1.

Barracora (Williams 1981) is one of several Williams System 7 machines, AND was designed by Roger Sharpe, and had 2,350 units made. It's a fun, fast table and higher scores are pretty achievable... 1M-2.5M is a good game. If you can get to 4-5M that is a very high score. I made Barracora a few years ago and was the first table I did with Redbone. I've learned so much more since then, and physics, graphics and everything is leaps further now, I decided to redo the table. when looking at the old table I realized there were so many things that weren't just right in my opinion I decided to completely start over from scratch. @redbone completely redid the playfield and Hauntfreaks redid the backglass images. This 3.0 version utilizes the latest VPW standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Baked GI, walls, and created a playfield mesh for the saucer physics. Dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table shots and action. Thanks to the VPW team for the thorough testing! Once again, I've included several options in the F12 menu including various balls, ball brightness, flippers, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, and other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting, and an AI generated topper as an option based on H.R. Giger's 1974 painting called, Li I. (this was the inspiration of the Barracora lady). For the ROM settings... The baseline comes pretty much correct except for the high score to date is defaulted to 2.5M and the coins are defaulted to one credit is 3 games. I've included a .nvram file that will adjust the coin/credits to 1 coin is 1 credit. Also, I've set the default high score to 100,000 (2.5 million is too high to achieve, and I was not able to save zero as the high score).

Originally done by mfuegemann, and then version 102a released by:Goldchicco & 32assassin. Thank you to Goldchicco for giving me permission to update this table! Also thank you to Apophis, Wylte, Smaug, and PinstratsDan for testing and feedback! This is a lower production 80s Williams table, but LOTs of fun to play. There is a lot to do on this table with all the targets to hit to enable other functions. You'll find similarities to Black Knight, Grand Lizard, and other tables of that era. This table significantly utilizes magnasaves to keep your ball from going into the outlanes. (see the rulesheet I typed up in the table info section for how to enable that and more). Updates in Version 2.0 done by UnclePaulie. Added VR, Desktop, and cab hybrid modes. Updated physics, drop targets, flippers, dynamic shadows, and lots of other updates to the VPW standards. Also added 3D inserts, updated lighting, the latest VPW physics, sounds, sling corrections and GI brightness and fading routines. Some other various fixes done, including a lot of work on the solar gun operation. I also updated the desktop backglass as well as the VR backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements, and I added a playfield mesh for upper and lower playfields, so there's a realistic bevel in the saucers. There are several options in the script. Including VR, ball brightness, and LUT lighting options. Since this table heavily relies on the usage of the magnasave buttons, the LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave. This is a hybrid table, and it will automatically choose between desktop and cabinet, however, if you are playing in VR, you MUST change VR_Room to 1 in the script. Additional options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit, Thanks to everyone that helped!

Gottlieb's 1984 Alien Star! Journey to an Alien Star for a pinball battle in space! Multiball, skill shots, and plenty of fast action! So much fun to play! Thanks to Borgdog for providing original playfield and plastic scans, cabinet stencils, and physical measurements of his actual table. He also had lots of authentic Gottlieb primitives to use, and did a tremendous amount of testing! Thanks also to @redbone who took those scans of the playfield and plastics and did a tremendous amount of work to get them to look so good! He also spent a ton of time with all the other graphics on the table as well as a ton of testing! Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass. DarthVito did the VR wall environment. In Version 3.0.0 (May 2025), I started the table over completely from scratch, as the prior version had incorrect table dimensions, wrong VR cab size, and lots of other things that needed updating. I updated to the latest VPW (2025) standards, physics, alllamps and 3D inserts, backglass for desktop, roth standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. I baked the GI, AND the metal walls, interior wood walls, spinner, plastic posts, and the reflections on them. Redbone further updated the playfield, the plastics, apron, and other images. Thanks to Borgdog for original playfield scans, image assets, and cab stencils. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos, many of which were done by Borgdog, to match the table skill shots and action. This table is loaded with options in the F12; including various balls, room brightness, flippers, tents, screw caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, Dip settings, side wall colors, special Mother of Pearl solid inserts, and plenty of other VR stuff, including LED undercab lighting. The ROM can be found at pinballnirvana.com... alienstr.zip). Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Gottlieb for 3 balls. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options. Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play. The default ROM has that set to off. I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Gottlieb's recommendation (600,000 and 1,400,000). Also, there are settings in the menu to set replays, sound, and HSTD. All this has been done for you in the included nvram file. I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself. There's also an option for "Tourney Mode". In that mode it'll play a little harder with different DIP settings, which excludes extra ball... and only allows for points on 3 balls. Tourney mode also sets colors and rainbow'ed LEDs on plastics. NOTE: you'll have to start and restart the first time in that mode for the DIP changes to take effect. If you want to change the DIPs... you will need to go into the script options and change SetDIPSwitches to 1, then open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options. Once entered, you can exit out, and restart. That will then set the new ROM settings. These are the default DIPS that are and set at original table launch: 1=Coin Chute same 0=3rd coin chute no effect 0=Game mode of replay for hitting threshold 1=Number of balls = 3 0=Unlimited number of replays can be earned per game 1=Playfield Special of extra ball (Tourney mode this is zero) 0=Novelty of normal game mode (Tourney mode this set to 1) 1=Match feature 1=Background Sound Thanks again to Borgdog and Redbone for the playfield and plastic images, the stencils, the testing, and all the feedback! Also thanks to Hauntfreaks for the updated Backglass images. Also thanks to everyone else from the VPW team that provided testing and feedback!

I Added the VR conversions to Apollo 13 last year (2020), the version of the table that was modified was done by Balater (Thanks for the permission to mod!), originally done by Herweh, Fransisco666, and 32assassin. Over time several authors worked on the early versions of that table including, Thalamus, JP, DJRobX, Rothbauerw, Amgrim, ClarKent, Chucky87, agentEight6, and Bigus1. I also used the dark image from chucky87's backglass file and imported into the table for use in VR. That mod done in 2020 had several updates specifically for VR, and other light mods. Sixtoe assisted at that time as well. Also, Retro27 added a topper and a few other VR updates and I animated the backglass for VR as well. Since that time I added several more updates, including nFozzy and Roth physics and flippers, Fleep sounds, several physics updates to the table, slings, and bumpers. A few other modifications were done as well to the sounds, playfield, and other adjustments. Thanks to Bord for posting tutorial videos. Also thanks to the VPW team for their help and examples. I also added dynamic shadows done by Iakki, Apophis, and Wylte. The latest update, Version 2.0, includes so many fixes and updates. I've corrected the number of balls coming out of the rocket during multiball, as well as the rocket timing, and subway trough. The ramp behind the moon now works for the orbiter and moon gravity missions, the trap door for the 8-ball lock is animated, fixed the slings, and added holes under the sling movements. Also the left spinner lane didn't send the ball into the upper saucer. That is now corrected. I've also added 16 switchable LUTs. Then, several members from the VPW team jumped in and made this table so amazing. What a great group! Thank you all! oqqsan: Added Flupper dome lights and flashers. Also fixed the ball stuttering when the moon rotated with the ball. Tomate: created new ramps and textures (they look so real!) Also wire ramps, posts, gates, apron, missing materials in some screws, and other stuff. Skitso: redid the GI lighting, spot lights and inserts. Also warmed the LUT a bit. Sixtoe: Did some visual updates to the ball, moon, rocket, and plastic ramp Apophis: Updated the playfield image for alpha cutouts for Lampz inserts. Added Lampz code, and new inserts. Updated some flipper nudge physics. Corrected the triangularization dynamic shadow effects, removed the subway ball shadows, and lowered the number of dynamic sources. Sheltemke: Provided an updated translite image for the backglass. It's now included in the VR version, and Wildman created a new b2s file. Also, modified the text on the inserts to a text flasher to make it more readable. RIK, Fluffhead35, Lumi, and Wylte all tested and provided feedback. Wylte: Updated the ball shadow code to not turn on when in subways, and other optimizations. Also modified for better performance. Separated dynamic and ambient ball shadow options, and added lockbar key as plunger alternative. This table is a hybrid release, so it will work on desktop, cabinet, and VR. OPTIONS: Options can be selected in the script to change to desktop, cabinet, or VR mode. For VR mode, there's an option for two different room environments, and to add a clock on the wall. Also... VR users... the Dynamic Shadows performance issue has been corrected. However, if you still experience performance issues, you can turn off dynamic shadows or ambient shadows or both in the script. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! And thanks again to Balater, retro27, Sixtoe, oqqsan, tomate, skitso, apophis, sheltemke, RIK, Fluffhead35, Lumi, and Wylte, and the entire team of authors that have contributed to this table over time. If I missed anyone in the credits, let me know, and I'll add, as I don't mean to miss anyone.

Gottlieb's Race Thru Space! Another extended wide-body machine like Circus. Lots of fun to play, two Varitargets, a hard to hit bonus saucer, and fast loops. Redbone had been working on getting the playfield to a much better state, and reached out to me to see if I'd like to create the table from it. It was very similar to physics, style, etc. from the Circus table that I just worked on, so I got to work. Lots of hours were put in on this one, and lots of tweaking on the Varitargets to emulate a real machine. As usual, I updated to latest VPW standards, physics, GI and shadow baking, Lampz and 3D inserts, dynamic shadows, updated backglass for desktop, playfield mesh for a saucer bevel, roth drop and standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, varitargets, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, gBOT system and trough. Redbone provided the playfield and updated the plastics and apron, also provided some ambient sounds. Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass and cab artwork. I also added options for balls, ball brightness, LUTs, Dip settings, ambient sounds, siderails, and plenty of other VR stuff. Hauntfreaks even provided a fun space themed wallpaper VR Room walls. I've included an option for two ROMS (you can find them at pinballnirvana.com... starrac7 and starrace). The original 6 digit ROM, and a 7 digit ROM (so when you score over a million you can see it). There's an option in the script to change that, however I've defaulted to the 7 digit. Make sure to grab the correct backglass if you are in a cab environment. Hauntfreaks just released the corresponding backglasses. I've included the nvram files to initially set the Dips, as the ROM creates settings that should be adjusted. You can either grab those nvram files and put them in your nvram directory, or follow this process to do an initial setup for yourself. (When you open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options, and I recommend these shown below. Once entered, you can exit out, and in the script, you can set the SetDIPSwitches to zero. That will set the ROM settings and turn off the option. If you later want to change that, you can turn it back on and change the dips.) - 3 ball, Playfield special of "extra ball" - Game mode of "replay" - Novelty of "normal" - Tilt of "ball in play" - Check the Match, Credits, Sound when scoring - AND most importantly, "Scoring Sounds Only". Again note... the background sounds from this era can get kind of annoying... especially if you have a good bass speaker in your cab. Make sure to follow the above procedure for turning the sounds option to "Scoring Sounds Only". Thanks again to Redbone for the playfield and plastic images, the space sound, and Hauntfreaks for the updated Backglass, and cab art images! Also thanks to Rothbauerw for his linear target code, bietekwiet, passion4pins, and everyone else from the VPW team that provided feedback!

Bad Move Human! Centaur (Bally 1981) has quickly become my favorite pinball machine after doing this development. Its fun, challenging, and the multiballs are awesome! Thanks to Bord, @redbone, and Hauntfreaks for graphics assistance. Bord provided a real scanned playfield, and Redbone updated it for scaling, inserts, and other touchups. Redbone also created images for the plastics, apron, bumpers, and targets. The VR backglass images are from Hauntfreaks. Version 2.0 is a complete build from scratch utilizing full VPW standards, physics, baked GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth drop and standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Lot of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. I've implemented a full two trough system in this table to recreate what the actual table has and does for the orbs multiballs. A lot of work and timing went into getting that just right. Many primitives were redone in blender to get as accurate as I could. Some were reused and/or updated from Bord's prior table. And as usual, there are plenty of options in the F12 menu, including ball choices, flipper colors, targets, screw caps, pulsing Queen's Chamber, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu, including LED undercab lighting, toppers, and more. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). I've also implemented some mods to replicate the recent Haggis Pinball Centaur Orblivion mod/update. Graphics, VR updates, targets, etc. will be automatically updated with the Haggis mod in the F12 menu. You can also get all the mods individually by selecting them one at a time. Please NOTE there are several items to consider on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls and harder play, AND a one free tilt with a warning. If you want to change the ROM settings yourself, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. However... I am not able to hard code the ROM menu options. Typically, there are levels of score achievements that award a free play. The default ROM has that set to off. I've included an nvram file you can use that sets that to match the instruction/score cards and Bally's recommendation (1,200,000 and 2,800,000). Also, there are settings in the menu to set replays, sound, and HSTD. All this has been done for you in the included nvram file. I also have instructions in the script on how to change that if you wish to do yourself. Thanks again to Redbone for providing all the graphics updates, and to Hauntfreaks for the updated backglass images, and Bord for the playfield!

It is a hybrid table. You can play it in FS, DT or VR. The table was created by Goldchicco. I would like to thank Goldchicco for allowing me to convert this table. Info There are 16 LUT files in the table. You can change them with the left MagnaSave button. You can change the VR space with the right MagnaSave button. You can change the DIP settings by pressing F6 after starting the table.

It is a hybrid table. You can play it in FS, DT or VR. The original table was created by Dids666. I would like to thank Dids666 for allowing me to convert this table. I thank Bord for the help with scripting the drop targets. Info I made some changes to the layout of some objects. Also implemented or changed some other things: dyn. ballshadows, nFozzy's flipper physics. There are 16 LUT files in the table. You can change them with the left MagnaSave button. You can change the VR space with the right MagnaSave button.

Tri Zone... Welcome to the next dimension in futuristic fantasy! Tri Zone integrated futuristic sounds, scoring, and visual effects for that time. This table was done by using images from the web for the playfield and plastics, allowing me to accurately place all elements. I did use some overlays from Kiwi's prior table image as well as a couple primitives. Thanks to Redbone for enhancing that playfield, target, and backwall images. Also thanks to the VPW team for feedback and testing. I updated to the latest VPW standards, physics, general illumination light mapping, shadow baking, 3D inserts, Alllamps insert routines, updated backglass for desktop, playfield mesh for a saucer bevel, roth drop targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, gBOT system and trough. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. _________ Required Software (64-bit versions): VPX 10.8.0 RC4 or later: https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases/tag/v10.8.0-1975-051104c VPinMame 3.6.0-998 or later: https://github.com/vpinball/pinmame/releases/tag/v3.6.0-998-a77c2d2 B2S Server 2.1.2 or later (if B2S used): https://github.com/vpinball/b2s-backglass/releases/tag/v2.1.2

Let the Sorcerer work a little magic for you! I've done a few versions of this table in the past, as well as other authors. The past versions I did built on older versions. Apophis reached out to me that the physics weren't quite right on the other tables, as he plays one a lot in the arcade. So, I completely overhauled the table to version 4.0 and essentially started from scratch, reusing only a few primitives. Redbone worked a new playfield, plastics, and other graphics for me. I did a full implementation of current VPW standards, physics, targets, 3D inserts, playfield mesh, VR, hybrid, baked GI lighting, shadows, etc. There's an F12 menu with some options in there. Also thanks also to Primetime5k, who helped me get staged flippers implemented and tested. Note: a new alternate gsound was recently released, however if you choose to use that, the ROM volume option needs to be at 0... which is default. However is you don't use gsound, I recommend turning that ROM volume down to -12 or something... as it can get a bit annoying if too loud. Also, you can turn off the background sound. Instructions for that and others are at the bottom of the script, however, here's the instructions as well: ROM Instructions and example to turn off background sound Start table as usual Press (8) to get into ROM menu Press (7) to start correct advancement Press (8) several times until 04 is shown in the Credit Display. 'Auto-Up / Manual-Down switch is controlled by (7) Press (8) repeatedly until you get to the adjustment number desired. For example, background sound is defaulted to on. It is adjustment number 35. You'll see a 1 in the upper left display. Press (1) to change that value. To turn off sound, set the value to 0. Note: Press (7) to reverse the advancement up or down. (9) will exit/reset Note: Auto-Up / Manual-Down (7) also controls the direction the menus will advance Enjoy, and hopefully you also feel that the physics and table play much harder, and closer to the actual table. Thanks again to Redbone, apophis, and Primetime5k, as well as the VPW team for testing.

The legend known as Black Pyramid lives again through the far corners of Bally's 1984 pinball machine! This is a great play and challenging table. The main goal is to achieve 10,000,000 points to get a free game according to several reviews of game play. A good overview of the rules can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEZIFjQppR4 This was a definite challenge to create as there wasn't a good playfield available, however thanks to @redbone for spending countless hours creating a playfield from various images on the web. And thanks to Apophis for helping me with various Blender techniques to obtain a solid VLM GI bake, as well as physics testing. I was able to utilize various images, videos, and Redbone's playfield to get accurate placement of everything, and then implemented the latest VPW standards for physics, GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, Roth drop and standup targets, a swinging target, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, default and optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting. Redbone also updated the plastics, target images, and bumpers. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. Significant time was also spent on implementing a center swinger target solution to be a combination of Roth standup targets and the swinger target approach done by Loserman on Space Oddesy. There are options included in this table via the F12 menu including colors for balls, flippers, screws, LED plastics, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit. There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu. You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu. (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.). Please NOTE on the ROM settings: The default settings for the ROM options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls. If you want to change the ROM settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change. Also NOTE: Bally recommends to ensure that the self-test position settings for the ROM menu items for 16,17,18,19 are set to "03". I recommend doing immediately when you first launch the game. Here is the procedure to set the self-test positions on this Bally 35 MPU table: Press 7 to enter test mode. Continue to repeatedly press 7 until you see 01 appear in the ball in play/match display Press and HOLD the 1 key until it reaches the value you want to set it to (start with 16). The value will increase by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. If you happen to go past the value you want to set it to, while holding in the 1 key press and release the 7 key. The value will then decrement by 1 while you are holding in the 1 key. When you reach the value you want, release the 1 key. Set the value to 03. Repeat pressing 7 to scroll the remainder of the settings (17,18,19) and change values to 03 in the similar manner. Press F3 to save your changes and reset the table.
