@Because_Reasons yeah I'm going to work and update video in the next month.

@turok4977 i primarily use a wired connection due to the complexity and requirements for a wireless setup.

@gamerfridge if you dont have the operator menu by pressing the "o key" the software didn't install correctly. Try reinstalling it. Also popper vr isn't being updated per the guide on nailbuster's site anymore. Make sure you are using the version located here. www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=poppervr_config.

@chipgt81 Thanks, I got another version working. But doesn't have the cool 3d tables. Just a list. But I'll try the reinstall see if that works.

@@zombies8cody what version of vpx are you using? I'm still rocking v10.8 beta 5.

@wanab1082 Some tables like iron maiden required you to buy the sound tracks from Amazon and put the files in a folder. When downloading a table, look at the read me file, If one is provided, there may be some steps or pup packs you need to download. Next, check the script for audio settings and vr settings. You may need to select a setting. If the settings are there, it will look like 0 = off, 1 = 8bit sound, 2 = pup pack. You may see something like that. Most tables should have callouts working unless the tables are on the newer side. Some creators will release an incomplete table, hoping someone with an audio background will help them complete it. The fact that you have working tables tells me it's not a software issue and that, more than likely, it's a table setting or the table is incomplete. You can verify this in the media library for sound. if it is empty, then there are no callouts. On vp universe, you can generally tell if a table is good by the number of people who have downloaded it, the team that worked it, and the comments from people who have played it. There are a lot of tables that are in work or incomplete. The last thing it could be is a mixup of software versions. I am still rocking vpx 10.8 beta 5 with the latest popper and freezy dmd release. Not the bata palooza build. Or the release canadates they each have their own issues for vr use.

@mikewhost5447 you do not have to be online. In the video, I am using a keyboard, but that's because I'm using my test pc rather than my cabinet. You can use cabinet buttons and your cabinet. However, depending on your gpu and system, it may be a good idea to turn off a monitor on your cab.

@wanab1082 By default, the number pad 5 is recenter it will recenter to where you are looking so make sure you are looking forward when you press it. Num pad 8 should move the table up, and num pad 2 goes down. The num pad is a different key from normal number keys. If your keyboard has a num pad, make sure the num lock is on. Then hit num pad 5. If that doesn't work or you dont have a num pad, make sure your key binding is set to the key you want for vr recenter, bump up, and down. The key binding for the vr movements are located in a different option menu under vr options, not the normal keys binding page.

Ty so much..yes my number lock wasn't on.😂

@ronreed3235 it's always a good idea to separate instances of software if you are unsure what will happen. For example, I have my hard drive partitioned on my cabinet. One is the main that I normally run, and the other is experimental. Where I change settings and try new things. If you don't have the room on the hard drive to try this the make a backup of your vr folder on an external drive. I also primarily use vr pinball at my desk now rather than my cabinet, two separate machines. If I remember correctly, popper vr has a toggle to switch from normal popper to vr. I recommend setting up a partition and only using one version of popper experiment with it till you have the setting you like and know work. Just make sure you have a backup just in case, or a way to test new ideas that you can go back to default if needed.

@JCatNY is using external backglass is checked in vr options? My cabinet uses three monitors and displays pups. I can hook up my quest 3 to the cabinet launch vpxgl and the pups display in vr and on my cabinet. If it still isn't working, it could be your gpu. I have a gtx 3050 on my test rig and amd 6500 in my cabinet. The 6500 struggles with more than 3 monitors, and I have to turn off the dmd and backglass monitors off to get it to work. Leave them connected just turn them off. If none of that works it may be a setting in the software or software version you are using. Try a reinstall of the software or an earlier. Build. I'm still rocking the 10.8 beta 5 build in my cabinet. When testing later builds, I lose features like color dmds and pup packs. Hope this helps.

@SOCIALCREDITSCOREOVER Make sure steam vr is running properly in you headset first. If not it's a compatibility issue with your headset. If it is make sure you are running the gl version of the vpx software. 10.8.xgl.exe Not 10.8.x.exe. that is more than likely your issues if not try running an earlier version of the software like beta 5.

@@chipgt81 Turns out downgrading to beta 5 was the move. Thank you!

@SOCIALCREDITSCOREOVER Beta 5 is my all-around to go to right now for pc, cabinet, VR modes. It works great with all three. Later, release you loose various features like color dmds or vr support or the require betas of pinup popper and other software. I will test out the next canadate release when it drops and do an update video if it works with all three modes I play in.

following…having the same issue…

It sounds like a setting is wrong somewhere. Try reinstalling popper.

Yes, the matrix and left and right playfield strips are on one port. You just have to power inject. I have under cab on port 3 and backbox speakers and back glow on port 2. Check out my video here. th-cam.com/users/liveA00lQOmQXKQ?si=Cswgh2BrqZC7nT36 Every table is a little different. Batman 66 really shows it off

@@chipgt81 Thx... I use a WEMOS D1 Mini with 8 Ports. Now i want to upgrade my led matrix to a HD Matrix (3x parts, every uses 1 port). Actually my Matrix, Playfield right and left uses 3 ports. Your video showed me that i can reduce all 3 items to 1 port. 👍🏻 I thought all the time the signal cant control 3 item with one port...

@Affenkopp-uq6kp you can do it however you want. I was thinking logistically what makes sense. I like the idea of having different lines that go to different places. Playfield, backbox, and lower cab. I have 5 more ports available. And ran one wire for a topper if I choose to do one...

@@chipgt81 Thx... I think ive got a New mission for now. 😉 Do you know, whats the maximum of LEDs per port for the WEMOS D1?

@Affenkopp-uq6kp I don't think there is a maximum number for adressable rgb leds a single channel. The dumb rgb leds are all on one color at a time, which is what eats channels and why most controllers support 8 ports at a minimum. They are an older tech. For adressable rbg leds, it is more what your power supply can provide power to. This is where the calculator i talk about comes in handy. The max I have run is 556 on a single channel. That's my matrix, lefT, and right playfield. I have seen no issues or delays. However, you may be limited on the number of effects that can be processed and sent out on a channel. I run 4 effects on my matrix, 4 on the right playfield, and 3 on the left. Ranging from animated plunger to flashers and strobes. It's better to mix effects using the dof tool. If you add too many effects for different features like speakers, underglow, back glow, matrix, and playfield, you may see lag or choppy lights. I never pushed the limits to find out. The d0 and d1 mini have 8 channels. To me, it just makes sense to split up features based on location. Plus, if you add a switch on the power line positive, you can turn off sections of lights if you don't want them on. I mean, you have 8 channels. Why not use them... if you want them all on one channel, that's fine too. It is the same amount of work to install, configure, and set them up in the software.

Depending on your hardware and how many displays your gpu can support at one time. It really doesn't matter how baller is set up. I use mine with my 3 monitor cabinet and on a seperate test pc with one monitor. If you are going to use a cabinet, you may want to power off the dmd and backbox monitors when using vr for better performance. You will just need to play with settings to see what works best for you.

Are you talking about a non configured vr room table, the black nothingness? If so, yes. You can create a basic two wall, floor and ceiling vr room and under textures make them whatever color you want. Check out my video in building a vr room here. th-cam.com/video/2bBw_-Tm7rI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZqOaEZne4LFPwWNy All you would need is the walls, really. Instead of using the pictures, you can create a material that is whatever color you want and apply it to the walls. Even for a table that has vr, you can create a new vr option called a green room or something to make that work. Unfortunately, you would need to do this for every table you want. If you're still unsure, email me at casualgameralg@gmail.com and I can help you through making a green room. The only thing I'm not sure how to set up is the pass through. Maybe a 30 min job per table once you know what you're doing.

@@chipgt81 Thank you for the candid response. If you want to try this, Virtual Desktop has a passthrough option you can turn on by selecting a color to mask which allows the mixed reality gameplay.

@FoxoticTV I'm down for giving it a try. So you do virtual desktop select the color, and launch visual pinball vr?

that's what I WILL do once I figure out the basic room thing it's pretty in depth , would have to dedicate an afternoon to figure it out unless you'd be interested in making a room. I'd say getting a sphere mesh with a material color variable would make the most sense

@chipgt81 But there is an app someone else made that lets you see your hands in mixed reality on pc by having hot pink orbs track on your hands and that can then be masked out to allow the pass-through

What headset are you using? What connection type are you using? (Heaset to pc). What version of vpx vr are you using? The key is that your headset must work with Steam Vr.

@@chipgt81 quest 3 using link cable, steam vr works I use it all the time. Latest version of vpx 4hrs I tried yesterday to get it running 🙁

At this point, there is no official support to use them. The connect through Bluetooth to the headset, then from headset to pc. There are way that they could potentially work, but I have not tested them as they cost money, and it's not well supported. You can use an Xbox controller, though.

First check to make sure it works on another confirmed vr room puppack like the one I show. It's the same install that you would do with non vr. However, not every table is configured for vr. Check the script for rv room settings. If there aren't any, then it won't work without you building it yourself the vr room yourself. It's about a 4 hour process. I have a video on how to build a vr room in my vpx vr series. That or search for a version of the table in vr. They can be hard to find. I recommend the table spreadsheet tool on vp universe. If there are settings, make sure the two checkboxes for external backglass and dmd are set. Check this video at the 24:30 marker.

How are you connecting the headset to the pc?

Airlink

@adrianoparrotta I used airlink over my my wifi for a week and experienced similar issues. If you are using your wifi router, make sure the connection is 5Ghz. Also, make sure it is set to dynamic. And the slider is to the right. Keep in mind the flow of traffic that is happening and the amount of information between all the software and hardware. It won't be perfect. For a more stable connection, you can try the wifi bridge. I have not tried this due to cost. I have had the most success with a wired connection. Sometimes, there is blackout along the edges as I move my head, but it is rock solid. Also the cables are not as expensive as the bridge. See the video links for the cables I use. If you want to try it.

Actually, yes, you may be able to. I is pretty recent, but there is now a tool that allows you to use your VR controllers to emulate gamepads or virtual steering wheels to control non VR games. I haven't tried it myself yet, and it costs $30 on Steam. I'm looking for an alternative, but if you want to give it a try, you can get it here. You may need a controller to keyboard emulator too. here : percnops.com/

It's a common problem I covered in my first video. 1. Make sure you are using Vpx version 10.8 beta 5 2. Not all tables are configured for vr. Check the script and see if there is a vr room setting. If not, the table you are trying to play has not been set up for vr play. I just released two videos this weekend that cover how to setup a vr room. You can also Search for a table that says the vr room in the name or on the database page of the vpuniverse here: virtual-pinball-spreadsheet.web.app/ There may be a vr room version available. 3. Remove your table specific b2s file if you are using one from your tables folder. 4. Watch min marker 24:34 of my first video. Here: th-cam.com/video/zAl1LlCCk3s/w-d-xo.htmlsi=N5Qs1YthPBWhh1Z7 There are two boxes you need to check. Open vr settings Check capture external dmd and capture external backbox. 5. This should cover all the issues that may apply to you and hopefully fix your problem. If not, send me the link to the table you are trying to play. If this fixes your issue, enjoy.

@@chipgt81great video thanks, any ideas why the popper vr does not work ? cheers ed

In my test pc, I have a Gforce 3060ti. In my pincab I'm using an AMD Radeon 6650. They are about the same performance wise. The amd may have a slight leg up on the nvidea.

Not every table is configured to work in VR. I've had the best luck with tables that have the vr room in the name. I'm currently working on a video that shows how to get a non-configured table set up as this is the biggest question I get. Hopefully, it will be good to go for next friday.

It could be a few things, but i suspect it is a combination of different software versions. What version of vpx and Popper and dmd are you running? I haven't been using the batapaloza baller installer. I recommend vpx version 10.8 beta 5 no higher till issues are resolved. This may trip an error stating the game was built on a later version. Just save the table for version 10.8 beta 5, and that will go away. You can install the latest popper and dmd software. This is probably the issue. Also try disableing the color dmd check box and only check puppacks to troubleshoot what may be causing the issue. Then switch the check boxes. This will let you know what software is giving you a hard time could be both. Let me k ow if this helps.

@@chipgt81 i downgraded to beta 5 from candidate release 1 same error most of the dmd don't work out of 10 table only 2 show the dmd party zone and avatar :(

@clementrousseau9431 Not all tables are configured for V/R. I have had the best results with ones that say vr room in the title. You can use the spreadsheet tool on vp universes to find the table you want and filter all tables to see the ones that work in vr. Some tables will have script options for vr, and you will need to check. Just to make sure it's not a software issue, let's troubleshoot with the avitar table i know works for me. Click here. vpuniverse.com/files/file/6408-avatar-stern-2012oqqsanmod/ Don't forget the rom, dmd, and pup. Save the files as you would for non vr tables Vpx table file to tables folder Alt Dmd to alt color folder Pup to video file Connect your headset, open steam, launch steam vr, Open vpxgl make sure you have both check boxes enabled for external dmd and backglass. Launch the table. Press num pad 5 to center. 5 key to coin in, 1 to start, enter to launch ball, left/ right shift for flipper. Or whatever you may have set your keys to. You should be able to see the pup pack running. Alt color dmd you may need to press F1 and enable color dmd. If not let me know what it says, and we will continue troubleshooting.
