The hero we need but don't deserve. Thank you Wagner's TechTalk 🙏

This channel is simply God Tier. Every week more gaming geek goodness. Thank you John!

The perfect setup guide. Atgames is lucky to have you make these great tutorials! Your Logo should be on all the cabinets or at the very least in the instruction guides! Thanks John!

As soon as I heard Addams Family was available for this on Steam it became a priority. Been waiting 30 or so years to be able to replay this game and now in comfort of my own home. Thanks for the upload of the how to.

THANK YOU Mr. Wagner! I read, and tried a variety of tutorials to pair any Windows OTG pinball program to my Atgames Legend Micro. Finally this got me 90% of the way there. Clear instructions on setting up screens/resolutions/etc. Got most of the controls set. I still have a bit of work to do but I'm grateful for this tutorial. THANKS Unresolved issues - potentially not solvable, but I’m still trying! • Xpadder kind of worked for me. Could get the flippers set up and launch button (coupled to the nudge button on the ALP. Was able to use the settings within Steam to assign most of the buttons but since the ALP does not have an A or B button (at least mine does not) I had to sacrifice my nudge buttons. • Cannot get the Haptics to work in OTG on the ALP. WHAT!? I bought the ALP for virtual pinball. I bought a mini computer and accessories so I can play OTG virtual on my ALP. Without haptics I may be better playing on my computer monitor and get haptics with the Xbox controller. Just venting and probably too stupid to figure out how to do this • Cant get the accelerometer to work to nudge the pinball. May not be possible, but I will keep trying Any help would be appreciated. JT Semeria

Thanks as always for your tutorials John. It's always a pleasure to have someone who makes it so easy to follow.

9:08 thanks this helped 👍

Now that this tutorial is available, looks like I have no choice but to finally get Pinball FX. I already have all the Pinball FX3 tables :)

Bonjour. MERCI pour ce Super tuto d'installation. Au plaisir de vous suivre.

Thanks for putting this video together Wagner tech talk ! I’m not that computer savvy and have been reluctant to connect a Pc cause I would have no idea how to do this. But these games look amazing ! I’m definitely missing out on some great tables. This video gives me more confidence that I can do this OTG. So Thankyou.

Finally got my Pinball PC working again and followed the guide and got everything setup. Even though the video is a year old it still works. The only thing I can't figure out is how to get the DMD off the back glass and onto my 3rd screen. I have a 3 screen setup with the ALP and BSS deluxe back box.

Thank you for making this video and the guides!

Thank you once again John! Excellent tutorial video kind sir!

Cool video. Unfortunately this does a significant disservice to the quality of the newer full DMD's. Squishing them down to a 4:1 aspect hurts the look significantly in my opinion. It would be nice if someone would do a backglass with space for a Full DMD cut out instead of cookie cutting them into the same template. But I appreciate everything you do for the community and I enjoy all of your content. Thank you.

John can you do a video on making videos? I’m being 100%honest here. Some things to learn like how to cut down some video and add it to a second video etc . I’m still using a iPhone camera and shooting everything in one full take. When I was an actor for all of 3 months , a director would love if you could shoot one continuous scene. But it doesn’t work so well when your trying to 1) work on a machine yourself and 2) also worrying about if the people can see what your doing etc. I know your busy but I can follow your tutorials . 😊

John you should release self help tapes (or mp3s now ) that people used to listen to when they sleep and supposedly retain the information. You have that non aggressive teaching voice. Where my voice tapes would be more along the line of the late great comedian Sam kinison! Lol Great work as usual.

Thank you for your time making this. I was really hoping Xpaddr would help eliminate the one issue I've had for several weeks; latency on the right flipper (left is fine) Unfortunately, even with Xpaddr, I still have that issue. ALP native tables run fine. I've tried innumerable tweaks recommended by videos; no luck, After weeks on the project, I think I'm going to throw in the towel. I hope someday AtGames adds some of the more popular tables to their catalog.

Thanks as always for your content 👍

your videos are a god send! thank you so much!

FYI it seems to work a bit better to use Steam Input rather then add more middleware. If your using joy-to-key or xpadder you end up in a world of hurt. A little bit of work and you can get a much better experience. Less to break, easier to ensure consistency across emulators and popper, and you already have all the tools needed to get the accelerators and other features working for you in emulators that support it.

I’m getting the twitchy right flipper as well. Gonna try your remapping fix later.

Thank you! Great video!!!

Thank you... your content is A-mazing!!

Hey Wagner. I followed your entire guide, but for some reason I am unable to use my plunger. Has anyone else run into this?

Great video, as usual. Do you have a tutorial on adding FX to Pinup Popper? I'm having a hard time with the nail busters guide.

This was awesome, but I am having one small problem. I am not getting sound from the cabinet after following this setup. I think I narrowed it down to the UDB-C cable to the VIBS board, because when I unhooked everything when done, I forgot to disconnect the cable to the VIBS board, and I wasn't getting sound from the built in games. I though I blew something, then realized I forgot to disconnect that cable. Once I did, sound was back. My setup is a laptop, so I have on HMDI and I use the thunderbolt for the backglass display. I do hear some pops and scary sounds when I click the button to switch to the backglass display. I also checked that all cable are securely inserted.

Wait, where's the THING letters on the backglass? TPA had them in cab mode, and it's a vital part of the game being able to keep track of each letter you get.

Ok, I get everything setup and working. For some reason all my back art displays except for the South Park tables? It just shows the file path on a black screen.

Your guides are so perfect and easy to understand. I have a weird situation going on. Xpadder works perfect for me, but when I have it running and using VPX and make the leaderboard and have to place my initials into the screen using either the left or right flipper to choose a letter it seems to skip. For example, I try and select the letter "B" and it jumps from "A" to "C". If I turn off Xpadder then I do not seem to have the issue at all. Any idea on how I could resolve this? I assume that there must be some confusion with VPX and Xpadder that is causing some issue. Not sure if in Xpadder I need to choose different mapping for Left and Right Flipper?

Regarding the fx M pinball ... I have the art work downloaded to my pc however it doesn't wanna appear on the back glass. Has like a error messege. How do I fix this issue

For those who will want to run both FX and FX3, is Xpadder capable of supporting both as a single solution rather than having to juggle between it and JoyToKey?

Hello - thanks for all your great and helpful videos. Have you tried to set up the new Pinball M on the Atgames Legends Pinball? Since it is made by Zen, I would imagine the set up would be similar to FX. Do you think you will make a separate video for Pinball M setup on the ALP?

Hello. First thanks alot of these very helpful videos of ALP🤝 You’ve helped alot so far👍 Unfortunately I have issue with Xpadder right flipper & fixing doesn’t help. I have Steam version & never had Epic version. Luckily Joy2Key with your setting still works well with FX and even great with FX3.

Hey! Thanks for this very detailed tutorial, you can help a lot of players. Keep up the good content!

Can you confirm that haptics work with Steam/Pinball FX on the ALP? I cant get it to work either. Also, I dont have the extra controls/joystick/buttons on my ALP Micro, so it is limited in controlling Pinball FX like I see others in videos being able to control the from their ALP buttons(S)

I am having issues with DMD not being able to be enabled on dot matrix screen . I have the back glass images and the DMD is on main playfield . All I have is windowed and disabled on the dot matrix options . Any ideas?

Is this possible to set up without the VIBS board? I am trying to find out and having a bit of trouble. Thanks!

I have the Alp, but setup the backglass as my DMD and a 40 inch monitor above that as my back glass. What would the settings be for a setup like that? I’m going to try the fx3 numbers and see if that works, just wanted to see if you had the numbers for that, or if anyone else did. Thanks for another awesome video!

I don't get what I'm doing wrong my screen doesn't give me the icon to browse and open the file layout 😤. I watch the video and read the instructions but I'm just at a standstill 😢.

With pinball M. Do I need to download DMD freezy files to beable to function my DMD for pinball M ? Cause it won't let me move my score screen down to my DMD screen like I can on Pinball fx

Do you need a code from Zen to use the Legends Pinball as with FX3?

How would Pinball FX work on a steam deck using Lengends Pinball Micro?

Looks good to go thus far. I followed the setting accordingly, but the DMD is small in comparison to the space provided if that makes any sense. I am not sure why the configuration seems correct, not sure if there is a setting I missed.

Hey guys ... I ran the steps however I'm having a issue getting the backglass image up.... it just shows my windows desk top. Where did I go wrong ???

I just bought myself a at legions micro will the settings be exactly the same?

Does this same method work for steam pinball FX I'm Launchbox but in regular horizontal orientation?

Hi, Thanks for your video! For the buttons mapping, did you tried with x360ce ? For me it works with PFX3 but not with PFX. Thanks for your feedback.

Hi John, thank you for all of the wonderful content you provide. I'm trying to decide on whether to get a Steamdeck or PC to run pinball tables on the AtGames Legends Pinball. Any thoughts that might help me make this decision? I noticed in this video you are running FX using a PC - will Steamdeck be able to run this directly in the future?

I cannot get the dmd or backglass to display with games. I followed the exact steps in your guide for cabinet mode and enabling the dmd. it's like it shows when I hit alt-tab but it never displays

Thank you so much for your instructional videos. They have been a great resource and I am very grateful. I am new to virtual pinball on the ALP. Started with FX steam and Xpadder (using your guide) on new build with specs well over required. Notice a small amount of flipper lag that is tough to get used to. Is that something that cannot be eliminated completely? Is there same slight lag with Pinup Popper? Thanks in advance.

What does FX offer that FX3 doesn't (other than the opportunity to re-purchase tables)? At face value It looks to me like it still doesn't compare to VPX and FP.

Thanks Wagner! Did you experience laggy gameplay as well as flipper lag when you used joy2key on FX? I’m experiencing ball lag most of the time. FX3 runs perfect for me. My gaming laptop should handle FX with graphics on medium. I’ll check out the other controller mapping you suggested. Thank you!

I have a question, please. When I installed XPadder, it didn't look like yours does. I don't have the controller icon to allow me to add anything. That spot on the app is blank for me. Any idea how to get the controller icon to appear? Thanks!

Is there a tutorial on how to create the backglass art so we can keep up with new releases?

OMG …thank you Jon for getting me setup with these tables…just one thing I followed your instructions on getting BG andDMD on with the images but the scores don’t show up on the DMD while playing. Did I miss a step?? Regardless you da man for getting me this far

Hey ... I was curious on when we can get the new backbox art for Texas chainsaw massacre along with the newest additions to pinball fx like night rider

Thank you for yet another great easy to follow video! I have two questions for you. My left flipper seems unresponsive at times in FX3 and in FX. it doesn't feel like lag as it just does not respond at times. This is with using joy to key for fx3 and xpadder in FX. My other question is for FX what is the main difference of using this over FX3? Thanks again for any feedback sir

How does FX do with the Hepatics Kit from BuyStuff? Can we separate out sounds like VPX, or is it like FX3?

My otg mode keeps disconnecting when I go to play pinball fx on my ALP. Does anyone know why this could be happening ??

Where did you get the usb to dual hdmi adapter?

I have some feedback and a question or two. I have the ASUS - TUF 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i7 with 16GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 - 1TB SSD, which seems to be a powerful PC. I tried both Xpadder and JoyToKey with the refresh rate set to 59Hz and graphics set to performance. JoyToKey works great, but I get a lot a frame dropping, tearing, etc. with Xpadder. Maybe this will help someone. I get the same exact experience with both as far as key mapping. Nothing seems to work. I have the Arcade Control Panel, I followed instruction for loading the downloaded files, but I have to use the laptop keyboard to do anything. The trackball works, but when I hit A or X, all they do is overlay some keymaps on the cabinet screen and don't do anything. The front of the pinball machine does not function as it is supposed to. It seems I have to use the laptop keyboard for everything until I pick my table and then I can use the front nudge to start it. What am I doing wrong?

Is there a way to map the keys thru steam and also to use the bitpixel i can use jottokey i already have it running something

First off, love the videos and appreciate everything you've done for this community. I've got everything working on FX and have Xpadder working, but for some reason my right flipper just immediately toggles off. Meaning I can't HOLD the ball, it is only capturing the single click, with no hold. The Right flipper works just fine! Tried to find similar issues, but no luck, so hoping someone here can help. I've got Xpadder working on FX3 just fine for both flippers, as well as verified that it works with Joy2Key, but with the noted lag. Am I missing a setting in FX for Xpadder?

Dear Wagner, thank you once again for your great content. I am playing Pinball FX on my Atgames Legends Pinball (the original large one) in cabinet mode. I had originally used JoyToKey but had realized lag in the response between pressing the flipper button and the flippers actually moving. Your video here pointed me towards Xpadder which I gladly purchased and installed. It solved the issue (THANKS!) and work(ed) perfectly up to around April/May 2023. But since about July 2023 I have a severe delay between pressing the button and the flipper moving. I even decreased the graphics quality but this didn't help. I am wondering if this has something to do with an update from Pinball FX and if you have the same issue. I have only installed one more game after that on my PC (Forza Horizon 5) and otherwise not changed the system.

Is there a way to get the accelerometer to work with the ALP in OTG mode? I don't mind the nudge buttons, but do like to push the table too :)

Thanks for the video! I set it up using Joy 2 Key, but I found the flipper lag to be really high. Is that why you're using the Xpadder?

Thanks for all your hard work. Does FX3 allow for a real DMD/3rd screen?

Thank you ! Do you know if there is there are any plans for eye tracking?

So in order to play the fx games you have to keep your pinball machine tethered to your pc? You can’t just download the games straight on? That’s a shame

Bonjour Wagner, J ai un retard sur les flippers ce n est pas fluide... Aidez moi. Merci

I'm going to purchase the Mars 4k in the next week or so and have a question a probably know the answer to😅 Can you run the pinball fx from an Xbox? I'm guessing no, but 🤞 Thank you!

Anyone else experience that pinball f/x runs pretty bad compared to pbfx3? Something just feels sluggish. I'm running a pretty high end rig and have never had an issue running any current games at max settings....but this game....something feels off.

Thanks John! Very helpful video, thanks for your time and efforts! I had this working using a mini pc, but the specs weren’t quite enough for smooth gameplay. Now i’m trying to use a recently acquired gaming laptop but running into trouble withe the displays. I get 3 displays, 1 to ALP OTG, 1 to Vibs, and the native laptop screen. I cannot get the playfield to show on screen 1. I can reposition the the laptop display to the far right but it still remains display 1 and playfield remains 2. I’m not a windows guy, longtime Mac user. I’m sure its something stupid but I just cant get it right. Any ideas?

Will installing this along side of fx3 cause and issues??

Does anyone else not see a Mods folder in the Steam folders? I have my cabinet code and everything and have played, would be great to get the backglass artwork loaded up!

Thank you for this! I wanted to ask if there's any way to use the built-in steam controller mapping. In the steam settings, it seems to be detecting the legends pinball as a controller and the buttons register as button presses, however when I start up Pinball FX it doesn't seem to use the mapping.

This valid for 4k legends pinball?

HEI Pinball FX does not display scores What is the reason?

Thank you sir for the great tutorial! I used your fx3 guide and everything has been flawless! following this guide the graphics seem glitchy. any ideas on a solution? Thank you in advance if you do. Levi

it's a shame that you can't transfer all the games you purchased for other systems over to the PC version so you don't have to buy them over and over . I bought every table on the PlayStation 5, the Xbox one and the Xbox series X so that I can play them on those systems. Now I have to re-purchase them on steam. Why can't we all just get along?

of course, down loading windows updates to get my computer in check for this. My computer has now been taken over by peppermint OS when I went to reboot, it went to Peppermint OS install screen and I can't get off of it And I never download anything on this computer so much for playing pinball.

Wait, do you need the vibs board?

I set mine up exactly like you did and I have considerable flipper lag. I have a pretty beastly system so I doubt that’s it. It has to be something FX is working on because it renders it unplayable in my opinion. They supposedly fixed the problem with a fix but it didn’t help with the lag at all.

What issue did you encounter using Joy2Key?

I see you have the same issue. Lame how the new Godzilla King Kong tables don’t have a matching marquee that’s the same dimensions as all other tables.

I'm a cabinet user - until FX is supported by DOF, DOFLinx, and SSF like FX3 is - why bother - seems like a downgrade.

Any lag? I had lag with fx3

“Upgraded” to windows 11.

I have alote of lag on the left flipper with pinballFx but none with PinballFx3. Anyone have a tip ??
