Welcome to the Unofficial Visual Pinball Wiki

Visual Pinball (VPX) is an open-source pinball simulator that brings the joy of real and original pinball machines to your PC or virtual pinball cabinet. Originally created by Randy Davis and open-sourced in 2010, Visual Pinball is actively maintained by the Visual Pinball development team and supported by a passionate community. VPX is supported only on Windows, while VPX Standalone runs on other operating systems such as MacOS, Linux and Android.

This wiki is a work in progress, but will include:

• Setup support for both VPX and VPX Standalone, including on Batocera
• Cabinet-specific workflows (DMD, backglass, 3-screen)
• Recommended folder structures, tools, and community scripts
• Ongoing community tips as features evolve

Get started by exploring the links on the right hand side of the page.

[!TIP] Github doesn't offer a convenient way to search for text within a given wiki. Fix this by installing the Github Wiki Search plugin for your browser of choice. It will add a small "Search Wiki" box to the top of the right sidebar. It's available for Firefox, Chrome, & Safari and works great.
