Anyone explain Visual Pinball?
Demon-Seed:
the link is good but I feel games should be free.......
JoeB:
WOW!
Thanks folks for this thread..
I've had a chance to try visual pinball for the first time yesterday, and it rocks! I'm surprised how well the developers managed to keep all the support and downloads to a single web site on the net. The 5 minute wait between downloads is a pain (Especially when you need to download 5 files just to get this thing setup!). But once you got it running, it's great!
I've tried running VisualPinball on my arcade monitor (640x480 resolution interlaced) and it's not bad at all! Games like the simpsons look good, but others (like star wars) don't since the pinMAME window shows over the top half of the board.
Visual Pinball is definitly designed to be played on a PC monitor with 1024x768 resolution. ;D
I find it amazing how you have all these tools working together to create a seamless game.. hopefully in the future developers will incorporate the ability to launch the game directly, rather than go through the GUI.

The Wrapper that Howard has over at the Lazarus site does just that, and it works great with mamewah :)

If you dont have that subdirectory, create it.
