VPinball and VPinMame on TV instead of computer monitor

<< < (2/2)

I guess I don't really consider that a trade off.  That would be like being disappointed that you can't edit high resolution photos on your arcade cabinet.  The best display for pinball simulation is a large 16:9 flat panel rotated 90 degrees anyway IMO.

Flake:
I am running Virtual Pinball on a 27" Toshiba with component inputs and it is a bit "hazy" as compared to the screen shots you find on the website.  I find that it still very playable but I would prefer a more crisp display.  I was wondering, is there another pinball simulator that WOULD look more crisp on a TV display other than future pinball?

cmoses:
Do you mean VISUAL Pinball?  Because that is the one that I am running on my current cab with VPinMAME.  The higher the resolution the better.  I have run it at 800 x 600 on my LCD screen and it is fine to play.  Just not sure what it will look like at that resolution on a TV, assuming I can do that resolution.

Flake:
I'm sorry I meant to say Future Pinball.  My mistake.

Ummon:
Visual Pinball is what runs everything. Pinmame runs under it's direction. You need both to play tables in that format, but VP is mother. (I think FP is the same.) Also, yes, on smaller monitors, lower resolutions look okay. My 17" (15 and some viewable, mind) is great at 1024x768 or lower.

Except, far as I know, that's not a native or even simply selectable orientation and all in VP.
