I have to say and I’ve said it before your videos are so polished and easy on my older eyes … Thank you as always fir your definitive and easy to understand approach

I get my ALP on friday. Also ordered vibs cable and a dedicated pc for it. Ever since this came out i have wanted to do this. I have checked out a lot of vids on this and yours is by far the BEST! I have an arcade in my basement and this will be my last, but certainly not least addition to it. Im an 80"s kid, so im going to put every 80's movie and saturday morning cartoon table i can find on it. Thank you so much for this vid!

I had given up on loading Future Pinball tables on my cabinet. My tables always crashed. Your fix at 14:33 in the video got me up and running. Thanks for the help.

You're my "Red Sea" splitting hero m8! Extremely thorough vids and walk-throughs.

Great job on the tutorial! It's always great to see people helping the community out in using/setting up their virtual pin-cabs.

Got the FX3 running on my ALP!! Thank you!! Once I disabled vsync in nVidia control panel and FX3, the lag disappeared. Sorcerer's Stone and all the others look and play fantastic!

just ordered my the micro version of this and i cant wait to get it all set up. cant wait tell they come out with a vibbs board for it next month also

Thank you for putting this awesome resource together!! :)

As always perfectly laid out instructional, that even a knuckle dragger like myself can follow. Thanks for all your help!

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!

If it wasnt for these videos I would be floundering around asking everyone and their brother. haha. Thank you!

Great video just got my alp can’t wait to start building my library

THIS VIDEO IS FANTASTIC.. I HAVE WATCHED YOUR VIDEO ON HOW TO SET UP ZEN PINBALL ON ALP 4K.. CAN YOU DO ANOTHER VIDEO OR POST SOMETHING ON YOUR SITE ON BEST WAY TO ALSO ADD VPX AND FUTURE PINBALL TO THE ALP 4K SINCE IT HAS 3 SCREENS? THANKS

Hi, your tutorials are awesome. One suggestion on ALP and button mapping. When I used joy2key, the lag was noticed. I switched to direct mapping in VPX and the lag basically disappeared and I have lower end PC.

Nice Video. Thanks. Greeting from Sevilla Spain

Hey wagner great video as always, i had a suggestion for next video perhaps reviewing the crowpi 2 to see if it has improved or what not/ Great content btw :)

Fantastic video (yet another one)!

Thank you so much for this video!

Great vid! Where are you getting all of your pinball tables? Forums?

Awesome video. You do such a good job explaining things. One thing I have trouble with is file organization. Do you have a document or tutorial on the file layout you use? Like where you put all the different files (I.e., tables, zips, jpeg’s, and all the other file types) in your d:. I’m not sure if the defaults are the best locations. Thank you again for all the hard work you put into all your videos!

is it possible to have 3 screens feeding into ATGAMES LEGENDS 4K? I would like to do that with VPX and FUTURE PINBALL tables. I see in this video you have the backglass and playing field but not the smaller matrix type screen thanks for all the tutorials. I just ordered my ATGAMES LEGENDS 4k machine and want to modify to play other tables. A bit of a novice but not afraid to try things out.

another useful video. thanks!

Hi Jon. Why won't the table remember the sound settings. The table is always muted unless I change the sound setting in the otg menu to hdmi in 1

Thank you. Worked great. Only one thing is frustrating me. My Backglass Image or Video always disapear after loading any of my added tables :(((

I wish you would have done the set up for the ones who DO NOT have the vibs board. I was getting along great with your walk through, but you kept dealing with the vibs set up, and I got lost...

I followed the instructions and in my vPinball Folder there are 4 other Folders: Future Pinball, Installer, PinUPSystem, and VisualPinball. I'm trying to locate the PinUP frontend app so that I can launch it, and I cannot find it in any of the folders. Please Help! Very frustrating. Edit: I found the shortcut in the Start Menu. It's also installed into Programs/PinUP. In case anyone else has trouble locating the most important file lol.

Thank you for this helpful tutorial! Which of the two programs provide a more faithful recreation of tables: VPX of FP?

On my ALP my VIBS board makes makes itself the primary (1) screen by default. #2 is always my playfield. Just a note as others likely have this issue.

Great tutorials, thank you so much! Do you have any tutorials where you don't have the VIBS and upper screen? Can I still play these other tables/programs if I don't want to invest the extra for the second screen?

If I do not need to play the stock games anymore and use the ALP to play only VPX tables on it via PinUP Popper, is the cheaper hdmi controller board (1920x1080 30 Pin eDP) as the ones found on Ama..(n) a good solution ? Also, if I choose this configuration that I have described with a computer connected to the ALP, what happens when every thing is switched on again ? I mean are there things to reconfigure when turning on the ALP and the PC, or does everything start automatically with the hardware AND software configuration with VPX and PinUp Popper ? Thank you for your reply !

Hi, this video helped me so much, so thankful. With VPX, do you know of any guides to configure the most common options in terms of difficulty, lighting, etc? There are *so* many options it is overwelming and I just want to tweak the really useful settings

Do you have any tutorial videos that go over how PUP packs work and how to install them?

Good morning! Dumb question I know…I followed your instructions to try to download Baller Installer from their FB Group (which I’ve joined). When I open up this page I’m not seeing the “Announcements” section to go to the download. Can you give me more directions. It’s probably obvious and I’m missing it. Thank you!

Hey Jon on the Joy2Key PUP profile how could i add like the menu button or start button as Magna Save Buttons on VPX for the ALP control deck??

Hey Wagner, great video, but I'm having an issue maybe there's an easy fix. I followed your directions to a T, and when i run the two included tables the backglass works fine. However, when I try any other table I added (the Terminator 2 table with rom), the table loads correct, but on my secondary screen it only shows the pixel score data, none of the background. I've tried with multiple tables and different backgrounds, and even went back to the backglass setting to make sure it was set up correctly (and Always On) but it just won't show up. Is there some obvious button I missed? Thanks in advance.

Hello Mr. Wagner..question?… I want to do the FX3 download & all those other awesome pinball tables to my Atgames pinball table that I ordered & is on the way..I love your video & the fact that you can do this!…question though I do not presently own a computer what kind of a PC do you think I could buy that’s not too expensive just to do this modification of adding the FX3 pinball tables & the other ones!!…thank you so much would highly appreciate it!!

I followed the steps for setting up the displays and making sure the backglass and playfield were setup based on a 2 screen setup. When I try to start a game the configuration looks correct, but after the game loads, the playfield moves up to the backglass and I have no backglass. My playfield shows my pc desktop. How do I correct this?

Thanks again for the great guides. I was able to install and connect everything as instructed. But when I try to play either of the included games, I cannot get the screen orientation to work. If I change rotation, etc. I just get a small version of my PC (laptop) screen unlike when I use FX3 (I have a question on that in you FX3 video) and get the proper screen/playfield size. Also, is there a way to get the backglass to show on my laptop screen and the playfield of course to show on my playfield (Legends Pinball) screen? Thank you. I also do not have a problem paying a reasonable fee for help. -MayorMike

Dear Wagner, I followed your instructions and now I have an ALP in OTG Uber-Mode with hundreds of hours put into setting up my vpx library, and a dedicated dmd screen! I love it!!! Thank you so much! But as such projects are never finished, I have a question for you: how do I split the backbox and mechanical sounds to be played through different devices? I am thinking of using the alp speakers for the playfield sounds (so the haptics work), and use a separate speaker in the topper for backglass sounds. Apparently vpx can do that, but I can’t:( Do you know the way? Greetings from Germany Al

Great videos easy to follow and very informative. Questions.. when video plays on my DMD it freezes up and just doesn't run smoothly . All tables settings are tuned all the way down . Is there a settings to improve performance? All my drivers are up to date. Gtx 1080 win 10

For VPX tables like AC-DC and the new Halloween table that just came out today, how does one go about configuring a "fire" button in JoytoKey to fire the cannon or gun?

any clue as to why some tables don't respond to 1 to start. I can hear a response to entering the credit but can't start the game. Also despite loading the joy to key profile, the only buttons that work are the plunger, flippers and dpad. I can't add credits or launch from the table I have to press 5 and 1 on the keyboard (when they work)

Hi Wagner, so I'm curious if this method will work for the new Legends 4k, obviously the vips board process shown won't be part of the setup on the 4k but will this work to set up vpx and future pinball on the 4k?...I never had the HD Legends Pinball so this is all new to me to set up. I did follow your videos on setting up pinball fx and M and they worked out great. But I really want to play other tables. So im curious if I can go off this instructional video set up or if there will be another process to set up since its the 4k....I can't find any info on setting up vpx to the legends 4k. I'm guessing I'll have to start with downloading pinup popper baller installer to start the process. Any help or links would be great. Thanks in advance for all you do. Have a great day.

My back glass insists on displaying on the bottom third of the screen. I can manually pull it up but even then the start menu is still in the way at the bottom

Thank you for your tutorial

hey thanx for all you do. your vids rock! question, if i am doing the pinup popper install do i still need the cab code for fx3? i already have fx3 installed on my pc and as soon as i get my vibs board will be following the pinup popper install.

hi thanks a lot for our tutorial i've one question i've install like you pinball popper, joytokey and all of sofware but the mapping d'ont work with visual pinball and futur pinball it's impossible play tables i've the possibility to navigate in punup popper but i can't add credit and star game have you a solution please ?

Hi, I just upgraded my RTX 1660super to a AMD RX 5700XT would u know what graphics setting I should use.

Have you had any issues with mp3s not loading? I keep getting an error 2 can't load.

Does this allow you to add a DMD screen and connect it all together to a PC for 3 screens on it?

Do you need to use JoytoKey? I was planning to just map everything inside the system as an XBox controller (for use with my PC). Will I run into issues with VPX and Future Pinball by doing so?

Thanks. Any information on setting up a DMD with this setup? I can’t get the DMD to display on the DMD, it keeps moving the DMD back on to the playfield…? Thanks

Ok so I got as far as getting everything downloaded. And operational but when I launch the table it will not scale to the main play field. Its is over enlarged and you can only see a small corner. Side note I do not have a vibs board or the arcade panel.

FACT: installing the vibs itself does not void your warranty HOWEVER modifying the cabinet in any way shape or form i.e drilling holes for the button or hdmi cord in the back etc DOES void the warranty keep this in mind if you decide to do this as it can come with consequences

If I don't have VIBS board, do I just choose 1 display (Desktop) during setup? I plan on getting one later when they come back into stock

How do you update vpx and future pinball? For example i have a couple tables running perfect in VPX but some I'm trying to get says its version 10.72 and that I'm only 10.70, how do i update the programs so i can use these newer tables? Cause i can't find anything about updating future pinball and vpx.

I've noticed that everyone keeps the desktop in landscape mode on the playfield. Is this just because you don't HAVE to change it, or is there any benefit to doing that? I haven't setup my frontend yet, and I'd prefer to have Windows in portrait mode if possible.

Hi my name is Debbie , My husband and I bought this amazing pinball about 6 months ago . Most recently the right flipper is sticking and is continuing to get worst. What can we do to troubleshoot or fix this problem..it's gotten to the point where we don't want to play it now because its not allowing us to complete a game without this happening 😕

Awesome video! I did the install and it works fine for Future Pinball but the controls don't work correctly for VPX! Used your recommended Joy2key file but I'm having no luck! Nudge and left flipper works, but no response from the right flipper. Odd that it works for Future Pinball but not VPX. Any suggestions? Thanks.

So i have pretty much everything done now mod wise and all that, was just wondering do you have a very detailed video on how to add and get pup packs working for the different tables? Would love to be able to play the tables and see the backglass image (title and picture for the table) change into a video and play some footage then go back to the title name and picture etc. I've seen peoples videos where they do that and it looks amazing, yet can't find any really good video explaining in detail on how to get the pup packs up and running, no idea where to put the files or anything the pup pack stuff is probably the most complicated part to me, or adding music to those tables like the Metallica or acdc tables, no idea how to do that stuff.

what kind of pc do you need to run all this to your pinball table, processor and gpu suggested?

Great video. Just ordered from Sam's and looking forward to the adventure. You're excellent video was for a brand new install. I have a great 2 screen desktop setup for VPX, FP, FX3 and Pinup Popper. Everything runs great including the pup packs that are available for many games. Am I going to have to do a complete reinstall? Thanks.

I have no idea what I could be doing wrong but installation I don’t have any of those options when you went to load the front end. I don’t even have the front end, please advise.

Joy2Key worked for me before I had the arcade pad. I downloaded the Arcade pad config file after I installed, its active in joy2key but the D pad (now arcade stick) doesn't work. all other buttons do work.

I have a VIBS board installed and have been using Pinball FX3 with no issues. The PinUp Popper installer is not seeing the VIBS, it's only seeing one monitor. I did select Layout A (2-screens) and clicked Apply Layout but on the next page it only detects one display. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Very helpful. Thank you! I have a question, please. When I open up the config, I don't see FX3 as one of the options. I see Future Pinball and Virtual Pinball, but not FX3, like I see in your video at 12:59. Any idea how I add FX3 to the list? Thanks!

How can i change my controls so they are mapped to arcade buttons? Also, how can i flip the playing field to be horizontal?

I want to add a dmd screen to my legends. I have monitor all installed but cant figure out how to get my dmd onto third screen. How do i change setting in pinup to see 3 screens?

Hi everyone, just got Pinup installed per this video but it seems as though my computer isn’t recognizing the ALP as a controller. I have JoyToKey installed and have updated the config since I have the arcade control panel but when I open pinup the flippers and arcade control panel inputs do nothing when pushed. I can select things through my keyboard though, any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I like the settings I have now when playing FX3 since it uses the accelerometer to nudge (vs buttons) and the buttons on the control panel line-up w/the buttons in FX3 (A, B etc). How can I use my current settings for FX3 w/your Control Panel config?

How do you setup pinup popper to load the bam fploader? My fp games crash everytime I use the pinup popper front end and I was told it needs to be configured to load the bam fploader.

could you also use a gaming laptop to hook up the the ALP to run these tables? i have a razer laptop with a RTX 2070 would this be good enough? thanks in advance for any advice.

Hello, and thank you for all your videos! I had a two screen setup (and I had that working fine) until I got a new backglass from arcade mod up. Now I have three screens (playfield, backglass, and a 10.1 inch DMD). I'm having a devil of a time setting them all up properly. The playfield looks fine but the backglass "bleeds over" onto the dmd below it. I have run several utilities and can't get my fixes to stay. I get them resized perfectly and carefully and they just go back to the backglass stretching over into the dmd. When I first installed pinup popper it asks whether it's a two or three screen setup. I did the two screen as that's what I had at that time. Should I do a fresh install? If not, what can I do?

At 12:23 you mentioned everything is being streamed over. What's that mean and how do you do it?

Hello John. I am on the quick setup, I am trying to hook to laptop. I have USB to c hub I had for steam deck for 1hdmi and the other HDMI off laptop straight to machine. When I go to my display settings, the it is 1/2 put together for my monitors. Does this mean I can't use that steam deck hub for the vibs board?

Do the nudge/accelerometer functions work with this? My setup is not working, poor plunger control and no nudge/accelerometer. I am thinking it may be the be the joy to key setup (without the arcade control panel). Not sure where to set it up at this point. Still waiting on VIBS and arcade control panel to ship so its still a work in progress. Tables I have installed so far are amazing other than that.

The plunger on my legends pinball machine when i got it was broken, so i have to use the enter key on my keyboard to launch the ball, is there a way on joy2key to set a button or the joystick to launch the ball while I'm in a game? So i don't have to use the keyboard anymore, please help me. I have the arcade control panel installed.

i saw CoinOps Collections The Arch's Pinball Build - Standalone PC Fully Loaded Pinball Frontend + addons on arcade punks. Have uyou heard of this and if so do you think it will work on the ALP

Can someone help with a question? I have been downloading a bunch of tables and trying to get them setup on the front end. I noticed I have a bunch of them as VPT rather than VPX. The only thing I can find online is virtual pinball is not supposed to be able to play them (but they do). They are not recognized by the front end though. Anyone have any idea how to work with these on the front end?

After terminating joytokey I reopen it and the control panel profile doesn't show. Could this be because it's telling me my winzip free trial is expired?

I copied the file into the PinUp Popper folder but after starting the Leprechaun King table, the ball never appears in the launcher so I can launch using the ball launcher. Wondering what I'm doing wrong? I did not delete the FX3 profile because I don't know if I will use it through PinUp Popper or just keep it separate.

Jon, I am getting quite a bit of lag with my flippers. I am thinking about upgrading to the same Dell pc you are using. Can you please tell me if you get lag on your setup. I have read that the monitor on the Alp adds lag and without replacing the monitor, I can get rid of a slight bit of lag. What is your experience with flipper lag like on your Dell.

Is there any other way to get the Standard ALP Joy2Key profile for PinUp Popper besides FB? I don't use FB.

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.

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...

To many abbreviations for the Novice. Alp tpt THC abc … very confusing where or what to connect

Great video...thank you. Is there any problem installing both Pinup Popper (vie Baller Installer) and Pinball Emporium as front ends? I'd like to play around with both but don't want to create any conflicts if both are on the same PC.

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?

I am having an issue with the front end, the table is in the right orientation but it's full screen and the game select is sideways.

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. I downloaded all of the ROM files to the VPinMame oms folder (all are compressed Zip Folders), but the message says the ROM set is missing. All 6 ROMs are in the Zip Folders though. Any idea why I'm receiving this message, and how can it be fixed?

I thought I followed this exactly. I went back over it a second time, but my orientation is wrong.

hello when i launch pinup everything shows correctly on my alp . but when i validate the table to play, table launch on my laptop screen instead of my alp . can you help ?

Does the plugger work with pinball popper or do you have to map a button as the plugger?

Jon, I followed your instructions. But after I did, I ran the front end with JoyToKey launched in the background (with the ALP config file showing up in JTK). I have tried to play both included tables. I can’t seem to get them to respond to the ALP standard controlls. Is it necessary to use the keyboard to enter a game. What am I missing here?

I don't see any info about setting up alp buttons for VPX and FP, any clues?

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!

Will this work with the pinball FX3 configuration on the ALP?

For some odd reason my computer has decided my playfiels is screen 2. Not sure why

I need some help. I tried J2K, I tried preferences in VPX but still no joy for my gamer mini controller.

From 3:46 , I don't understand: why do you use these power usb hubs ?
