VPX Launcher brings seamless table selection directly into your VR headset — no more fumbling with the Windows desktop or taking off your headset just to pick a new table.

 

The Problem:

Every time you want to switch tables in Visual Pinball X, the application has to restart. In VR, this means a black screen in your headset, a jarring break in immersion, and a frustrating wait.

 

The Solution:

VPX Launcher keeps you inside VR the entire time. Browse your entire collection using flipper buttons and cabinet controls, pick a table, and a dedicated VR Loading Screen holds your headset active with a smooth transition while VPX restarts in the background.

Key Features:

----------------------

Full table browser with filters, favorites, and "recently played"

Navigate entirely with cabinet buttons — no mouse or keyboard needed

3D launcher environment inside VR with an animated virtual cabinet

VR Loading Screen

Highscore display with PinMAME/PINemHi integration

Table metadata and artwork support (wheel images, table previews)

POV and VR tweaks accessible without leaving the game Works alongside VPX-Launcher.exe for orchestrated restarts

Built for VR cabinet owners who want a polished, all-in-one experience without ever leaving the headset.

 

How it's built:

VPX Launcher isn't a separate frontend or wrapper application — it's compiled directly into the Visual Pinball X 10.8.0 executable. The launcher logic lives inside the player engine itself, using the same rendering pipeline and ImGui-based Live UI that VPX already uses for its tweak menus. When VPX starts with a dummy table, it automatically enters launcher mode, turning the full game engine into your table browser. This means zero additional dependencies, no fragile inter-process communication, and native access to VR, input handling, and rendering — all in a single binary.

 

VPX Launcher v1.29 – Browse and launch your entire VPinball collection without ever leaving VR. Seamless table switching with a dedicated loading screen, cabinet button navigation, filters, favorites, and highscores — all from inside your headset.
