Thank you for this video! I was having a lot of trouble getting a reliable non-laggy USB connection between my gaming PC and the ALP and your info (In the video and on your site) were what I needed to finally get things working well. I had tried 2 or 3 different USB cables...one worked reliably but had too much lag, another would constantly lose connection. I tried a powered USB hub since I heard that could fix the lag, but no luck with the HUB I had. I finally broke down and spent the $30 for the hub and cable you used (plus another $10 for the magnetic beverage holder!) and finally had a near-zero flipper lag (certainly good enough to play well..finally!). I did have a few issues/differences from your video. One was that I needed to set the ALP screen to portrait orientation in my Windows display settings. When I would do landscape in Windows and then rotate in ALP or Steam, the display would get screwed up. It's likely I had something set wrong between my ALU's orientation setting and the Steam/FX3 orientation setting, but I was able to get things working fine by simply adjusting the DMD/backglass coordinates in FX3 so it worked out fine in the end. Also had an issue with the controls, but tracked that down to some previously configured settings in Steam for the ALP controls that were interfering with the Joy2Key settings. After cleaning out the controller settings in Steam, the problem went away. Another challenge was tracking down the backglass graphics and the correct DMD/backglass coordinate settings for FX3. Would love a link to the backglass graphics you used in your video because they look pretty nice. I got the backglass stuff working on an external monitor and now I'm just waiting for my VIBS board to arrive...it's been in "ready for pickup" status for about a week now, but still isn't showing it has been picked up. But once I get it installed, everything else should be ready to go. Thanks again for the very detailed instructions!

A big thanks to you for sharing clear instructions that help many people get more out of their ATGames Legends Pinball machines! And a question: I see that the new Zen Pinball FX platform now offers cabinet support, yet I find nothing on the Internet about anyone getting that working on the ALP. Is it possible now to play the new Pinball FX on the ALP?
@WagnersTechTalk Жыл бұрын
Very welcome and thank you! Yes, FX does have cabinet support but it's severely lacking -imo. I started creating a guide on it, but stopped until support is further along. One key feature of cabinet support is the ability to rotate the playfield display. At the time I started (about 1.5 months ago), it wasn't built-in to FX and as far as I know still isn't. There was a hack that made it possible, but required using Baller Installer to do so. Just didn't make sense for me to continue until the support is there. Hope that clarifies. Once Zen implements it fully, I'll revisit and revive the guide I started. The last thing I want to do is create a guide that is so convoluted no one will appreciate it and I'd get tons of negative feedback.

@WagnersTechTalk3 жыл бұрын
Hi MichaelB, for the second HDMI connection to the VIBS board I could have used a DV to HDMI adapter on the PC. But, I was previously testing another PC (which didn't work out) and on that PC I had used a USB 3.0 to dual-HDMI adapter. My thought is to use the 2nd HDMI port at a later time for a dedicated DMD. The HDMI Adapter worked great on both machines (the one I returned and the new one I setup recently). So, I stuck with that. All the non-AtGames hardware (and software) can be found on this page: wagnerstechtalk.com/alppcsetup/#Additional_Hardware . It should help quite a bit, especially the JoyToKey tutorial which basically you download the LegendsPB-wtt archive and everything will be pretty much ready to go. I did make a minor change to that file to allow using the A/B button on your Arcade Control Panel for a Lef/Right mouse click. Hope all this helps!

If you have a VIBS board and connected, it would be in the middle of the 3. See the 2nd point here for more details: wagnerstechtalk.com/alpfx3/#Software_Considerations

The VIBS board is only used to provide the ability to use the backglass with a PC (or Steam Deck, etc.) It has nothing to do with Internet access.

My usb 3 port on alp has not worked since day one. And still doesn't work even after a replacement of both boards and the cable. Support and myself are both confounded by this. Nothing in usb 3 detects. The hmdi input and usb2 ports do work. Because of this. My alp tables are saved on usb flash drive plugged into usb 2. To avoid a bunch of back and forth. I thought a powered hub plugged into my usb 2 would be the answer. While the flash drive loads, steam does not detect my alp controls when the OTG cable is plugged into one of the hubs 4 ports. I have to have OTG direct connect to pc and ALP, making my usb hub useless. Any advice? Is your hub connected to your ALP with your OTG cable to pc in one of the ports? Or is the hub connected to your pc with the OTG to ALP in one of the ports?

Thank you Douglas, happy you've got everything working! The very last bullet point here is if there is no sound: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp/#VIBS_Troubleshooting which doesn't seem to be exactly the issue you're having. But, it reads: No sound when using FX3/VPX or Future Pinball (OTG) - click the speaker icon in the lower-right of the taskbar in Windows. Make sure it’s set to output audio to the primary HDMI output (your backglass). Once set properly, the audio should play through just fine. I'd double check the playfield HDMI connection is the primary HDMI, then adjust the volume control in Windows and see if that helps. If not, honestly not sure what may be the cause. If it sounds fine on the ALP itself but weak audio only when the PC is connected, it's something on the PC/Windows side that I've not seen. May just take some additional tinkering/searching to find a solution. Sorry I may not be very helpful in this reply.

Hi Joel, I think the problem in this case is that the arrangement of the displays is wrong in Windows. Click the Identify button, there you'll likely see the backglass as 1, Playfield as 2. Instead, this move the displays around such that the playfield is on the far left, then the backglass, any other display to the far right. More on the settings for each on the 2nd point here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alpfx3/#Software_Considerations Make sure they are fully aligned at the tops of each displays (don't want them crooked in anyway or it will throw things off - straight line at the top of each display).

hi, at around @9:39 in the video you are showing how your main screen (the playfield) is set to landscape. I currently have my backglass screen (on the computer settings) set to portrait mode. And I can see everything on my computer (on the pinball arcade screen just fine with screen #1 being set to portrait). And I even have Pinball Arcade up and running using the joytokey, with this configuration (my #1 screen set to portrait, and my #2 set to landscape -like yours). So I am not sure why I would need or want to have my #1 screen on the PC, set to landscape....when it seems all pinball machine games will need the primary PC screen #1 to be in portrait mode. I hope that makes sense... Also if I left the screen #1 in landscape mode then it would look sideways when viewing it on the Arcade Legends pinball backglass (hence why my screen #1 is set to portrait mode currently). I have a feeling if I dont have the same settings as you showed in your video for the PC screen configuration, then when you explain all the cabinet mode settings in the Pinball FX 3, those settings would not work for me....since my screen #1 is already in portrait mode....So I was just wondering why you would not have have your screen#1 in the PC settings to be in portrait mode??? thanks
@WagnersTechTalk Жыл бұрын
That's correct, in the guide you'll find landscape is how it's documented. Like you, I started with Portrait as it seemed to make the most sense. However, as I began setting up PinUP Popper it was clear the landscape would provide the ability to see the entire screen (in portrait, while trying to configure anything things won't fit properly). It became very problematic to launch VPX and not be able to see the entire screen or get much done in Windows. I also find it easier to use TeamViewer to remotely connect to the PC used by the ALP to configure it and it's easier to do in landscape orientations. I also found the community recommended using Landscape for similar reasons. So, went that way and simply rotate the display in software when the tables are launched. This has worked out well and the numbers I show in the guide should match fine if done that way. But, they won't if you stick with portrait. You'll have to do a bit of tweaking for the backglass/DMD positioning.

@@WagnersTechTalk OK, I think I see what you are getting at. I would rather follow your directions, since it would save time in trying to figure out all the dimensions etc as you explained in your video.

That makes sense. The only other thing about using Vertical mode on my Windows machine is that I want to play stuff like Worms Pinball and maybe some older games too (that may not have fancy Display settings like PFX3 has). So maybe in those cases, I can just rotate the settings of my primary monitor (and therefore the backglass) to play a game like Worms.

I can say the BeeLink mini-PC I initially started with did not work with the VIBS board without using an external USB Adapter (I used a dual HDMI adapter). There were many reasons why I returned it, mainly the GPU performance was terrible (and can't be upgraded, VEGA 10) I could see screen tearing during screen transitions. Many others have stated they had issues with an AMD GPU + VIBS. Wrote up a troubleshooting guide here to assist: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp/#VIBS_Troubleshooting . I won't say it won't work, but didn't work well for me at all and don't recommend it based on my personal experience.

So Mr. Wagner what do you think of Zen Studios new upgrade to all their pinball tables & the fact that people have to re-buy all their tables for the new generation..& what’s your take on the ticket system they’re trying to implement..?..thank you‼️ HollerBack Wagner
@WagnersTechTalk2 жыл бұрын
First off, I'll be honest, I've not tried their new system/games yet (I did buy Indiana Jones for FX3 though and it's a cool table - but overpriced). I know it's been almost a month since it's release, though without the cabinet mode feature being available (at last I heard, should be available at any time) I'll wait until it is. Their ticketing system sounds like a pain and I'm not jumping at buying the same tables I already own just because a different publisher has released them. I'm sure the rendering engine will make a difference and that I'll be digging into it at some point.

Can someone please help me? Where in alp is the option to connect via ethernet? I clearly can see the wifi option but that's it. I have ethernet plugged in but no internet.
@WagnersTechTalk Жыл бұрын
If you're using a PC playing FX3 and need internet, the PC itself will need to be connected either via Ethernet or WiFi. When in OTG mode, the network is supplied by the PC and not the ALP. However, once out of OTG (playing stock tables), just plugging an Ethernet cable into the back of the ALP is all you need to do on the ALP itself. Make sure you see the link light and some blinking activity lights. If you don't, could be the cable or connection to the switch/router. Hope that helps!

I have my VIBS board installed and works. I am going to download steam and fx3 for the games that I purchased. I have the Legends Pinball Control panel installed, so after Joytokey is installed do I install LegendsPB-WTT or LegendsPB-WTT-PUP? Thanks Gary
@WagnersTechTalk2 жыл бұрын
Either one will work with FX3, the one ending in PUP has additional buttons for PinUP Popper mapped (but also works with FX3). I'd say, go with the first one until such time that you want to use PinUP Popper. With PUP, you'll have to map two keys for the nudge in FX3 with LegendsPB-WTT you don't.

Hi Joseph, see the very bottom bullet here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp/#VIBS_Troubleshooting No sound when using FX3/VPX or Future Pinball (OTG) - click the speaker icon in the lower-right of the taskbar in Windows. Make sure it’s set to output audio to the primary HDMI output (your backglass). Once set properly, the audio should play through just fine.

I assume you're asking for the ALP HD model (not 4k). If that's the case, I have some information and suggestions here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp-mod1/#Chapter_5_PC_Requirements . Those suggestions are older and not intended for the 4K machine. Though, the Skytech PC shown seems like it may work fine for 4K, I've not personally tested it. If you're looking for one that is more future-proof, I'd recommend posting your question here: www.reddit.com/r/LegendsUltimate The reason for asking on reddit, there are many that are already using different PC configurations and can provide better responses. I wish I had a bunch of machines that I could use to perform benchmarks, but I don't.

Hi question for you - so I just got my ALP today and quickly set off in setting up OTG. The optiplex I ordered along with the VIBS has not been delivered yet should be anyday now. So I currently have the ALP as the main playfield then I have the Backglass and DMD on my laptop screen. The question is: Is this the best I can do until I get the VIBS board? meaning I cannot use the ALP back glass at all until the VIBS board comes? I know I can't switch back and forth without it but was wondering if I could just HDMI straight into it but it does not seem to detect it. So this is likely the best I can do unti that VIBS board shows up yes?
@WagnersTechTalk Жыл бұрын
Correct, you won't be able to use the backglass until the VIBS board arrives. Don't plug anything HDMI into the backglass connector, it looks like HDMI but it's not and can cause damage to either the backglass or the device connecting to it. Wait for the VIBS please, if anything is connected to the backglass, remove immediately.
