A cool frontend for vpinball with the following features:

 Works on Linux, Windows and Mac (Windows must use Standalone dir structure)
 Multiscreen - Supports up to 3 screens (Backglass, DMD, and Table)
 Keyboard & Joystick support
 Table and Media Manager (Auto download art via VPinMediaDB)
 Build custom table collections (VPS ID-based and filter-based)
 Automatic vpx patching for Linux & Mac
 Fully customizable UI theming using HTML, JS and CSS
 JSON-based table metadata with VPX file parsing and feature detection

We've recently created VPinPlay online ratings, scoring, and play tracking service available in VPinFE. Its an API driven web service and fully open for anyone to use and if you want to host your own local VPinPlay its nothing but installing a docker container on your local network.

 

There's also been a lot added including DOF and realdmd support on the frontend.  You can see it in action on YouTube.  

 

As always, all my stuff is open source and feel free to use it anyway you want!

Can't seem to get this going on steam deck.
Anyone with any tips are appreciated.
I have tables running with vpx 10.8.1 through big picture. Just can't seem to get this frontend to launch. It always errors outand closes

With recent update. Works great on steam deck.
Thanks for the work you've done. Gets better with each update
