Put them in the /pinmame/roms folder zipped, but when I start a table via needs a ROM, the table loads, but I get an error message about the ROM on loading and can't start a game
AI Warning: The following project is build with the assistance of AI.
This is a full standalone version of Visual Pinball X VR for the Valve Steam Frame. It bring performance upgrades specifically for this device (Foveated Rendering, Dynamic Resolution) as well as quality of life features not present in the original version like scores collection with user profiles and a full in-game and web leaderboard, table thumbnails, table lists (like favorites, last played, most played). Details: https://github.com/SPD13/vpinball-steam-frame
It is fully functional and tested on 50+ tables.
Also I'm on an Andriod
The table is playable!
Stained and top coat added, TV and Monitor are a perfect fit. Connected to my main PC as external monitors to play Pinball FX for now (hence the task bar). And custom designed (ChatGPT) sticker decals for the side. May be cheesy but that's the style I had in mind. I love a sticker bomb.
Next steps would be a custom 2060 PC build to then run the software locally. I plan to use PinUP Popper. Which means I have to tinker with the Baller Installer I believe. I went to school, I'm sure I can figure it out. I also forgot the top panel over the monitor. Ran out of wood. Making it hinged so the monitor can be taken out. The TV just lifts up.
Down the line, I want to add better speakers, led lights, maybe even rumble motors for the flippers for more tactile feedback, etc. I'll take any suggestions and advice.
And I know most cabinets have a larger front face. I wanted it short so I can pull up a chair and tuck my knees under the table to sit closer for long sessions. Still trying to beat all the castles in Mideval Madness.
I'm trying to get The Beatles Pinball Machine up and running, and for some reason the video and topper just won't work for me. It's not in full screen mode, I've messed with a bunch of other settings and I'm not sure what's the problem. They load in like normal until the table loads in, at which point they're gone... What do I need to do?
I think this a forgotten table. Don't hear much about it. I added some custom walls as the stock walls were very pixilated. Fun table.
Color DMD's must be another format other than ".PAC".
10.8.1 DOES NOT SUPPORT ".PAC".
BGFX 10.8.1
I7-9700 (No OC), 64gb DDR4 3666, RTX 3060 12GB, and NVME drives.
Virtual Desktop Wired, Quest 3
This short showcase is meant to highlight the dedication and hard work our community puts into these tables and hopefully inspire more people to dive into the VPX VR scene!
Videos like this got me hooked, and started my VR endeavor.
I love BGFX 10.8.1! The visual rendering efficiency easily outpaces OpenGL on 10.8.0, making even older, legacy tables look incredible.
Running Virtual Desktop wired. Horizon Link (Meta Link) was completely removed from my system.
Thanks VD!
That said, there are still a few stability and workflow hurdles to clear in BGFX 10.8.1.. For instance, requiring a table to launch just to access the configuration menu remains a bit clunky. DMD's not showing up or color ones not working for a lot of tables. No clear explanations of how to config all the new settings and what they do. Some textures not showing up right, lighting. Random crashes.
But the ones that work look mind blowing, even on older tables.
Cheers!
