Is there a new installer package for visual Pinball? Haven't played in around 15 years

[leuzier13]

I only see a old install pack and wanted to know if there is a new version or any tips on getting them to work. Since the last time I played you needed to add sound packs and a lot of other programs to get them to work. It wasn't compatible with the latest windows at the time. thanks

Here you will find an All-In-One VPX Installer. Installs everything needed except roms and tables.

I would advise to search for a YT video about upgrading vpx to everything 64bit by hand
mainly because there's already 1 table that won't run on 32bit .exe (talking about big bang bar)

I believe the 64bit versions of everything are still in beta phase. These are test versions, not meant for the general public.
So I personally would not install 64bit version just so 1 table (Big Bang Bar by VPW team) can be played.
I would steer clear of any of the programs that are still in the "Beta" phase.
But the choice is yours.

VPX is in beta since forever

My experience? I've been using 10.8 for a while even and 0 problems. Those guys do know what they're doing.

I have colour DMDs and directb2s and everything in 64bit and using pinmamme 3.6 too

But of course, you can install multiple versions of vpx. But since I don't have problems I prefer to have the free space. Instead of installing both.
