https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball
Visual Pinball Application should be inside the emulator folder in the root of Project Arcade i-RETROPLAY base build.
WARNING:
If you have an existing vPinball PinupPopper installed in your system for Visual Pinball, installing the VisualPinball (VPX8setup.exe) installer to the Project Arcade emulators folder will void the vPinball configurations.
If that happens, and you want to use vPinball Popper again from your old settings, just run the installer for vPinball again.Please take time to process this statement to avoid issues.
You need to install first Visual Pinball on the following example directory location.
D:\ProJectArcadeBitsBits\emulators\Visual Pinball
M:\ProJectArcadeBitsBits\emulators\Visual Pinball
You can run the Installer Batch File anywhere as long all files are downloaded and complete.
The installer will prompt you if you have missing files or archive.
Update Info:
Will add additional system or optional pinball systems place holders for future addons.
Just like before systems can be enabled or disabled via the System Menu Control Settings.
Will also install or update the previous pinball Main Collection to use the new set of themes.
Will correct and use the updated universal marquees for all systems.
