Hi Matt...Just in case you are not sure what wiesshund is saying by the installer.  Down load the 10.7.2 installer here: https://www.vpforums...&showfile=11573. Then download the 10.7.3 minimal here: https://www.vpforums...&showfile=11572 and copy and paste the files over top of the 10.7.2 version files/folders.


Check out my website for any latest updates or information on current builds that I am working on.

Thanks so much.  I'll give that the ol' college try.

Hey everyone, 

 

Don't know if you're following this thread or not, but here's the upshot of what I did this weekend.

 

I downloaded and unzipped Pinball X version 7.2.

 

I installed it.

 

Copied over the contents of 7.3 minimal into the folder.

 

I then copied over the contents of 10.8 into that folder.

 

At this point, I had moved my VPX tables into a separate folder and decided to copy them into my Visual Pinball (generic) folder where my tables are located.  Since I was excited to play "Escape from the Lost World," I copied that over first.

 

Double clicked and it played BEAUTIFULLY!  So, it appears, that I can run vpx tables on my older machine with no lag or memory issues.

 

Then I slowly started moving over more games and testing them only...to run into multiple issues of a "white playfield" (one time pink) and various other issues.   All the crashes, I took photos of the error messages.

 

So...in a sense, this is all working now-ish.  Now I just need to trouble-shoot the other issues/errors that I'm getting.  Still, though, I'm excited that I got one machine (an old favorite) to work and I look forward to figuring out the other issues.

 

Thank you all, again, for your support.  Really do appreciate it.
