Roms are the code stripped from the chips of the original pinball tables. ![]() (note that some Roms are becoming harder to find, so you may need to try other sources if you run into Tables using Roms that you can not find on these sites) Both can be found at a couple websites I tend to stick with these two sites. Once you get VPX installed, you will need a few more pieces, Tables and Roms. Stay away from those until you learn how this all works. But be aware there are a few starting to require 10.7. Most tables are still being released as 10.6 tables. The devs are in the final stages of squashing bugs for the 10.7 release, but ignore that for now. As with all emulators, first get Visual Pinball X running outside of Bigbox. It is a bit of a learning curve due to all the different parts and settings, but well worth it in the end. Since I know a lot of people that have MAME and Retroarch builds, and view their games in desktop/landscape view, I hope this can be an inspiration for people out there maybe wanting to add pinball to their builds. It just goes to show you how immersive pinball can be even in this viewpoint. My monitor is in the desktop view, which is best for my other platforms (consoles and arcade-MAME) so, I have opted for this general layout for my pinball tables too. I have flipper and nudge buttons on the side of my controller - a must in my opinion. You may notice as I pause the game, a pause window pops up showing the layout of my arcade style controls. As you can see in the below video, I have an arcade/console/pinball setup. It was a pain in the ass, but well worth the effort. Being an overlooked emulator on Bigbox, I had to create all my videos and download all the individual clear logos, rule cards and flyers from other websites. I have been messing around with Visual Pinball X on Bigbox for a few years now.
