Using PuP-Packs with VPX, FP, and FX3 on a Single Screen Desktop View or Cabinet

If you're a pinball enthusiast looking to enhance your gaming experience, you've probably come across PuP-Packs, a set of video and overlay layers that can be used with various pinball emulators. However, setting up PuP-Packs can be a bit tricky, especially for those who are new to the world of pinball simulation. In this article, we'll provide some solutions to common issues you may encounter when using PuP-Packs with Visual Pinball X (VPX), Future Pinball (FP), and Pinball FX3 (FX3) on a single screen desktop view or cabinet.

System Requirements

Before we dive into the setup process, make sure your system meets the following requirements:

* Your PuP screen's 'default' positions must be set up in the corners of your screen and sized appropriately to allow for a complete view of your tables in each emulator/game.

* The table and PuP-Pack should already be working together (starting and running with no errors/crashes).

* PupWinPos.exe needs to be located where PinupPlayer.exe is installed.

Setting Up PuP-Packs

PuP-Packs can be used with various pinball emulators, including VPX, FP, and FX3. Here are some specific setup requirements for each emulator:

* For FX3 PuP-Packs: FX3 cabinet settings for DMD repositioning setup for dmdext.exe or PuPDMDControl.exe.

* For FP PuP-Packs: Future Pinball, latest BAM, DOFLinx (for my Tron Legacy table mod and pup-pack), PinEvent (for PinEvent tables, only when NOT using PUP Stream) and a program to force FP into Borderless Windowed mode.

* For VPX PuP-Packs: VPX (latest 10.6 beta or higher), newest SAM VPinMAME, dmddevice.dll (dmdext aka freezy) 1.71 (32 bit x86 version only!) setup for PuP (dmddevice.ini).

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Here are some common issues you may encounter when using PuP-Packs and how to troubleshoot them:

* Get VPX, FP, and FX3 to automatically be put back into focus after a PuP-Pack starts.
