Hello,

I've recently started playing VR pinball. I installed PinUP_Popper_Baller_Installer_2501.exe on my PC and I'm using my PSVR2 headset. I launched Steam VR and configured my play area. Then I encountered two problems:

(1): When I launch PinUpMenu.exe, the interface appears on my PC desktop but not in the VR headset.

 

(2): So, I launched Visual Pinball directly with VPinballX_GL64.exe, opened my table, and then went to Table > Play to start the game. I can play (at first I didn't realize I needed to add credits), but I don't see the DMD screen on my pinball machine, so there's no score or table animations.

 

Could you please tell me how to fix these problems?

 

Thank you

Hi

 

(1) - Pinup popper frontend is not VR. 

There two options

 

https://vpuniverse.c...r-discontinued/

or

https://github.com/k...ases/tag/v1.0.0

 

(2) - In VPX GUI, go to "Preferences" and then "VR settings"

I tried vr-launch.exe on GitHub, but I can't find the "Edit launcher-config.json to set your Visual Pinball paths" file! When I launch it, it doesn't find any tables. I did put files in the Media directory, though.

 

The other link says "VPX VR Launcher (discontinued)," so I didn't try it.

 

Regarding Visual Pinball, I had already checked "Capture external DMD," but it's not displaying (the DMD is shown on my PC screen).

 

Thanks for your help.

Hi

 

The VPX VR launcher is not discontinued.

Download the file version. Unzip and install it.

Then the program will be updated.

Everytime when a new table is upload to any site, the system conected to internet check a new database file and update.

 

About the second Frontend option, I din´t install it

 

About DMD.

I think that you are using a ROM DMD and not DMDextensions.

Download DMDextensions 2.4. from github and install it

You need to open ROM menu (press F1) and then if was the case ALT/TAB to show the ROM menu window then check "Use external DMD dll"

Uncheck on ROM menu "show DMD/Display window"

hello,
 

I'm trying VPX VR-Launcher 4.exe. I can see the interface, recenter the tables, and select one of my 16 pinball machines using the left and right shift keys, but when I press enter, it resets everything without launching the table. I found a filtering menu by holding down the spacebar. I also modified a config file: C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\vrlauncher4\configconfig.xml by putting 

<paths> 

<tables>C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Tables</tables> 

<vpexe32bit>C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\VPinballX_GL_32bit.exe</vpexe32bit> 

<vpexe64bit>C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\VPinballX_GL_64bit.exe</vpexe64bit> 

<defaultversion>64bit</defaultversion> 

<vpparams>-Minimized -Play</vpparams> 

<vpparams2d>-ini C:\vPinball\NOVR.ini -Minimized -Play</vpparams2d> 

<highscores>C:\vPinball\PINemHi\PINemHi.exe</highscores> 

</paths>

Hi there, the VPX VR Launcher 4 has been discontinued and it has not received any updates for a couple of years now. If you did want to keep it and use it though there was a setting that helped me with the same issue but can't remember what it was  I recommend using the newer version found here https://vpuniverse.c...launcher-64bit/
