Nah, Honest I wasn't. A shiny new P4 fell into our laps here at Casa de
FSogol and my kids want VP on it. IIRC the installation involved a
simple 211 step process.

Actually, there is an "all-in-one" installer out there that will install
Visual Pinball, PinMAME, and all the necessary support files:

Much easier...

50 minute wait on public server. _Much_ is obviously relative.

You will stop at nothing to reach your objective, but only because your
brakes are defective.

When you are installing don't forget to grab a front-end like VPMan or
VPLauncher, it makes picking your tables much more fun when you can
sort the list, see some pictures etc.....

More to think about as you set up your folder structures, but worth it.

Which do you prefer? I tried VPMan years ago and it didn't seem to work
right (Probably due to the wimpy cpu). Which is more kid friendly?

Hey,

I've actually used them both at this point at time... I think I found
them equally easy to use... both were fairly straight forward to
install... and both looked nice... although I think I had the art
working a bit quicker on VPlauncher...

Installing pinball actually seems more complex then it really is...
just need to understand the folder structure... Visual pinball is one
program that requires its set of subfolders (tables being one of the
key folders), then pinmame is another seperate thing that requires its
set of sub folders (roms being a key one here)... I think my pinmame
folder is actually a sub folder of my overall pinball folder. Pretty
simple... I think there is a good guide at the EasyEmu link at
Mameworld.net that walks you through it pretty clearly. Good luck

Defjam.

I'm partial to VPLauncher, myself. Fairly easy to setup, and a nice
MAME32-like structure.

Heh, heh. That's how this thread started, by me asking if that
walk-through was up to date.
