Once again your tutorial has come through for me :) After knocking out the haptics upgrade, I really wanted to finish the VPX/FP setup and I was able to do so today. Learned a lot doing this, plus more because of the The Addam's Family table (table was sideways, backglass wasn't loading up - learned how to troubleshoot the script, etc)! I even modified that Joy2Key stock ALP config (from the FB group) because it was a little backwards in terms of coin and start functions, and not being able to navigate with the dpad or exit without reaching for a keyboard (maybe I can share this file for your other viewers?) I'm real glad I didn't waste money on those "prebuilt" HDD loaded with thousands of tables. I never would have learned anything, and probably would have been frustrated. Well anyway, there is one main thing I'm still trying to figure out: how to setup VPX for separate audio through the 3.5mm audio jack, and HDMI? I must have overlooked something in VPX, could you point me in the right direction? Thanks again!

Which reminds me, have you gone into Windows and made display adjustments to the ALP playfield display?

Happy that you're enjoying the BSA Haptics kit, yeah it makes an amazing difference and it's so hard to try to capture that in a video.

It's what helps me pay for some of the stuff I show on the channel. I just don't feel right adding a buy me a coffee link, thought about it but don't want anyone to feel obligated to do so. I've had several companies ask to put their ads on my site, I don't do that either.

Press the button and it will light up, remember the associated number. Then in the main j2k UI find the number and click the 'Edit button assignment', then assign the button as-needed to emulate the key presses. You can double-click on some of the others in the profile to get an idea of how they're setup as examples. Hope this helps!

Thank you brother! You'll only need the cab code for FX3 if/when you want to play FX3 games in cabinet mode. If you're going to be running VPX/FP tables only, you won't need the code for that. But, good idea if you plan to play FX3 soon, to go ahead and request the code. May take a few days to receive it.

In the video and the guides I do recommend installing to a clean installation of Windows to make sure things go smoothly. If your PC is already setup, you'll just have to adjust the display orientations when the ALP arrives. The settings that you'll likely need can be found here (for FX3): wagnerstechtalk.com/alpfx3/#Software_Considerations . For best results, align the x2 monitors (assuming you ordered a VIBS board as well) in Landscape mode, received your cabinet code, etc. If you're not sure what the VIBS board does for you, please see here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp/#VIBS_Board_Installation Hope this helps you get the most out of your machine!

There, you should be able to redeem the code and install those volumes. When you do, you're really going to love those tables! Regarding a better sound system, I'm not much help in that area at the moment. However, do check out the KZfaq channel Kong's-R-Us.

For FX3, please see the portion where you'll need to map the Z and / keys for nudge to work in FX3: wagnerstechtalk.com/alpbi/#JoyToKey_Setup If you have trouble with how the plunger is mapped, use the forward nudge to launch the ball (I've run into this on some tables as well such as AC/DC).

Hi Joe, there is a slight bit of lag on my PC with VPX/FP but it's not terrible (FX3 has virtually no lag). There are some things that you can do to try to squeeze better performance out of your current machine that I would recommend trying first, such as: right-click the task bar and launch the task manager. In the Startup group, disable any unnecessary applications. Do the same under Services, stop anything that isn't necessary (going to take time to figure out which ones are/aren't). After you do all that, reboot and see if that helps. I need to add the above to the pc-setup guide as well. The machine I ordered is far better than what I was using previously and something I could afford. I am pleased with it overall, but to say there is no lag at all would not be true. Also, may want to try the USB 3.0 cable mentioned in the pc-setup guide if you haven't already. The powered hub is what I'm still using, but unfortunately it's unavailable now on Amazon.

Hello again. Got my VIBS board and arcade board, and finally figured how to get VPX tables playing on the ALP cab; however, I'm only geting table sounds such as coin insert, ball rolling, flippers etc. with Williams Flash. I've tried the only hints I can locate - the click DMD then hit tilde key to bring up a volume fix, but nothing appears; as well as F1 key to make sure use sound is checked; as well as End key then 8 or 9 to adjust, and again still only getting basic table sounds. After BallerInstaller, I noticed the FP Leprechaun table has no sounds at all, but will play. Any ideas please? BTW, plays as it should on my desktop gaming PC, but using my year old Lenovo Legion AMD gaming laptop strictly for cabinet vpinball is no joy yet.

Just went into my Windows 11 Sound setting and turned on mono audio and tried Leprechaun again, now I have the music and effects, but no table sounds like flipper, ball rolling, spinners, poppers, etc. Flash is now giving sound effects but no table sounds as in Leprechaun and RetroFlair. I am starting Flash without Popper frontend, but using Popper frontend with Leprechaun and RetroFlair. Getting closer! 🙂

OK, saw where Windows kept changing the default sound device on my laptop for some reason. Using the lontium in both the VPX/Popper and set as default fixed everything... thank you for all the help.

Hello again. I was attempting to test a VPX table (in the VPX program), and when I hit the play button to pull up the playfield image, it's in Portrait mode. Went to test the Leprechaun table, and it's also in Portrait mode. Not sure what I accidentally keyed, but all of my VPX tables are in Portrait mode. Would you happen to know where in VPX I can adjust to Landscape mode (270 degrees)? Or am I going to have to reinstall PinUp Popper? Thanks in advance...
@WagnersTechTalk2 жыл бұрын
Double check when pressing the Channel button on the ALP that the Degree setting is set for 90 degrees: wagnerstechtalk.com/alppcsetup/#Switch_HDMI_Input . If that's not it, make sure your display settings haven't changed (3rd bullet point) here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alpbi/#Install_PinUP_Popper_Baller_Installer If neither of those fix it, perhaps you changed the rotation within VPX itself?

Hi there, is there a reason I couldn’t us other emulators on my PC and play them through the ALP? I suppose I’d have to adjust the monitor rotation to 0 instead of 90 degrees. But I’m thinking I could do that and run emulators while still using the ALP joystick setup to control. Does that make sense?

Hello. In using the "Installing/Adding VPX Tables" section of this video (and the section in the online tutorial on your website), I'm getting a ROM message when I attempt to test the table.

Any idea why I'm receiving this message, and how can it be fixed?

Not sure, sometimes it depends on the table. May be missing a rom or other element. May need to see what the developer of the table has to say in their release notes. Also, see if you can load it up manually in vpx, it may give you a clue as to which roms are missing.

Appreciate the thorough tutorial. Is it possible to set this up to play Vertical on AtGames Legends pinball with no backglass (still waiting on mine). Baller Installer senses it as one monitor, so wants to go into desktop mode which rotates it sideways. If I rotate in the screen setup of baller installer, it looks ok, so I save settings, but once I launch baller installer, it turns it again (putting it in landscape mode so it's sideways). Instructions said to put Windows Display in landscape mode, so I figure it should work somehow, I just can't figure it out. Not a big deal if you don't know off hand. I have FX3 set up so I can keep playing that, just figured I'd ask in case it's just something I'm missing. Thanks again for the great videos!

I'm sure it's possible, but may take a bit of tweaking (I only set it up with the VIBS board+backglass myself). Make sure that when you launch OTG you have it set like this: wagnerstechtalk.com/alppcsetup/#Switch_HDMI_Input I'm starting to think that I may need to integrate this section directly into the PUPBI Guide, I've had a few recent questions about it and think it may not be as obvious as it should be.
