Question with VPX setup with Pinball X

[Storm312]

I've been looking into getting VPX set up but I just gave up for the second time. I haven't tried the Baller installer yet but that seems to be the newbie friendly way to go. I noticed though that it installs Pinup Popper which I'm not familiar with either but looks like it plays the same role Pinball X does. Do I need to worry about interference with pinball X, or do I need to disable pin up/manually change stuff around? I tried getting a number of tables working and I got a couple, but I discovered the scripts have different dependencies, some requiring dependencies like PinUp. Thanks.

I've never used the Baller Installer so can't comment on it.

You can install the pinup player part on it's own though, see pinup_player_install [PinUP Virtual Pinball System]. This is required for tables that use 'pup packs'

There is an all in one installer for VPX 10.8 though that will install everything but pinup player, available on github as Main.Download.Installer.-.VPX8setup.exe at the bottom of the this page - https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases/tag/v10.8.0-2051-28dd6c3. That will install VPX, Vpinmame, DMDext & B2S etc for the main dependencies.

You may well be nearly there with your current install though, is it only pup pack tables that are failing?

I think I may have chosen the wrong installer for VP10.8. I ended up picking the minimal one and then got lost in the install this install that. I think I'll try and start over with that one. And yeah there were a couple of them failing on Pinup dependencies, can't remember exactly what. I was hitting failures with freezyDMD, B2S, and another DMD dependency but hopefully the full installer will fix those.
