How to get the table
Virtual Pinball Select a table with the VR tag on the Spreadsheet page (https://virtualpinballspreadsheet.github.io/).
Normal tables do not take VR into consideration, so backglass and DMD will not be displayed.
Some tables require a ROM (VPinMame).
In that case, download the ROM as well and put it in the VPinMame Rom folder as a zip file.
If you need a directb2s file or UltraDMD, place it in the same folder as the table.
If you have a sound file, create a Music folder in the same folder as the table and place it inside.
If you have a PuPPack, place the PuPPack folder in PinUPPlayer/PUPVideos.
If you have an altcolor, create a folder with the Rom name in the altcolor folder in the VPinMame folder and place it inside.
If you have an altsound, create a folder with the Rom name in the altsound folder in the VPinMame folder and place it inside.
