What is the VPin Studio?

The VPin Studio is a toolbox for Visual Pinball tables. It provides various features such as:

  • table (asset) management
  • table archiving
  • Discord integration
  • highscore card generation
  • competitions

Download & Installation

Download the latest installer from the releases section.

In general, the VPin Studio has a client/server architecture, supporting the administration of multiple VPins with one VPin Studio client. That's why every release comes with two different installers:

  • Full Installer: This installer must always be installed on the actual VPin and contains the server and the client UI.
  • Client Installer: This installer only contains the UI client which lets you connect from any other Windows PC to your VPin.
  • VPin-Studio-Client-Linux-x64.zip: This archive contains a VPin Studio client runnable on Linux systems.
  • VPin-Studio-Client-MacOS-arm64.dmg: This archive contains a VPin Studio client runnable on MacOS (ARM based) systems.
  • VPin-Studio-Client-MacOS-x64.dmg: This archive contains a VPin Studio client runnable on MacOS (Intel) systems.

The other artifacts are only required for updates.
