Anyone messed with PinPup? Did you like it? Was it easy to install on your cab

Quoted from GTO:

I have all my tables tested and working in my cabinet. Now looking for a front end to install, should I go with PinballX or PinUp Popper? Pros and cons?

Quoted from LynnInDenver:

I'd definitely say this is true. I actually had UltraDMD working on my cab until very recently, and something I did trying to improve it's appearance broke it. The only real reason I haven't taken the time to get it fixed up is that I plan on replacing the computer in it in the next couple of weeks anyway, with one that I already have more or less set up and UltraDMD is working on, and more importantly, works the exact way that I actually want it to.

Quoted from Nepi23:

What do you think - should one make just a VP controller for Oculus Quest or would it be better to make e.g. a 3/4-size cabinet with backbox and make also a connection from VP to Oculus Quest? If there was a separate cabinet also, the guests could see how the playing is going, although the player would keep Oculus Quest and use it as his monitor. Thanks for any input!

Quoted from javagrind888:

I have a Samsung Odyssey VR headset and am thinking about trying to build a Pinsim cabinet for it. I can't find it, but does this setup support WMR? It only refers to Occulus.

Quoted from gregh43:

Thanks Brian! Looks Great. I dont have the skills or know how to put it together with the wiring.. mounting the screens etc.. do you have any building plans on Sterns machines?. I like their backboxes with the display bezel and speakers. I have contacted Stern a few times about buying a empty cabinet. they wouldn't sell any.

Quoted from Anony:

Yeah I'd be pretty wary buying a pin all set up with software. If something breaks you're going to be in for a real headache trying to figure it all out later. If you do it yourself you know what needs to be done to fix it.

Quoted from Anony:

Anyone here try VPX VR with an actual vpin so it feels like you're standing at the table?
I really liked it, more than playing on a screen by a long shot. I played better and understood the tables far better than on a screen.The problem is compatibility is not great with tables at the moment and worst of all, the headset gets so uncomfortable.
Looking down in a VR headset is a bad experience. It's heavy and tires your neck out and you have to constantly adjust it to find the sweet spot.
The day that VR headsets wear like glasses is the day I invest in a full VR pin setup. In fact I think when VR is run of the mill and light/easy to use you will see a huge boost in vpin users.

Quoted from Viggin900:

Anytime I have an issue with my Ultra VP I recieve great support. My SSD may be starting to go so they gave me instructions on how to back it up. Pretty simple, they provide instructions and sometimes video, dumb it down for anyone to understand. But yeah, its a computer and no one really knows how to fix them if they break unless you are into IT? No different than owning an arcade. Some manufactures may not offer support which is crap.

Quoted from TomN:

Anyone offer any advice on cloning the HDD in a Virtual Pin? It's a VPcabs model. My 10 year old nephew worked his magic on it Christmas night. Totally fubar after he was done with it. Didn't even want to boot. I suspect he figured out how to turn it on and off, and did so several times and probably corrupted it. Lucky for me I had a cloned WD HDD and replaced the SSD that was in it. I'd like to get the SSD drive back. My plan was to make a new clone now that I have it all setup again. I bought a Samsung SSD 1TB drive. I would like to clone the WD HDD to the Samsung SSD so I am booting with the faster SSD drive instead of the platter drive. I would install the Samsung Data Migration software and create the clone on the Samsung SSD. Does anyone see a problem with this? My system is older, so it's running Windows 7 if it matters.

Quoted from PanzerFreak:

What would you suggest as far as prebuilt goes? You seemed ready to go for an Ultra VP, what was the thing that stopped you? The main concern for me is the main 60hz display. A lot of owners say it isn't a big deal but at $9k+ shipped I want the latest technology and a 3000 series card in it.
The Ultra VP is expensive but from the pre built machines out there I don't see anything else that compares well. Xtreme Gaming Cabinets (6+ month wait to the US) has 120hz displays but their build quality and feedback mechs are not as good IMO compared to what I'm seeing with the Ultra VP. I don't have the time to spend building a cabinet and tinkering with settings for dozens of hours. I'll pay the $9k and figure half of that is labor costs and profit. Just want to have something that works well out of the box, and looks professional which so far the Ultra VP seems to fit.

Quoted from luvthatapex2:

This is true but you forgot the skillset required and > a hundred hours of work (mostly configuring). To some people they would never do this and are looking for a turn key solution and willing to pay for it.

Quoted from DakotaMike:

I hear you, but with the advent of Nailbuster's baller-installer. The barrier to entry is much, much lower than it used to be. The baller-installer holds your hand and walks you through every step of configuring your system for VPX and Future Pinball.
There's still a lot to learn long-term, but that baller-installer is amazing for easing a person into things.

Quoted from SadSack:

I haven't updated my VP for 8 years. I'm missing out on tons of new and improved's, but I still love the games installed. Iron man, Avatar, Tron and Avengers are some of the newest tables and my FFB controller is a quarter burnt out from carelessness. I'm just not willing to do the software.. and I enjoy it how it is. I built 3 of them from scratch back when there were no scripts to do anything.
Take it how it is or be ready to tech for several hours for each update. My problem is I forgot a lot of how to do it and now I'm too lazy to relearn.
