Thank you

1. The ability to reposition the DMD

2. Additional screen space on the iPad

3. Skipping startup checks option for the roms so I can play some theater of magic

These are the only noticeable issues that could make this app perfect

I’ve been having a lot of fun discovering these old pinball machines archiving the history of pinball on the iPhone with the incredible work of the community and thanks to the developers of this app.

The VR tables that include the back glass have working scoreboards most of the time, some great tables that haven’t been converted have the scoreboard off screen, changing its coordinates would be great if possible, but an iPad version of this app would be perfect

Hello! Thanks for feedback. iPad and moveable DMD will be coming soon! For TOM, just add cheat=1 to the ini file in the pinmame folder, and you should be all set!

Tables don’t load

Spent 6 hours trying to load tables. Does not work. Have up but tried hard. At this point someone would have to send me a zip file to load into the app. I bet it still would not work.

Response from developer

Hello. I’m sorry you are having trouble. Visual Pinball is challenging in general, but I’m positive we could have you running in under 5 minutes. There is a link to contact me directly in settings. We also have lots of documentation, and a discord server where we can walk you through everything.

Super ambitious

This is a very cool app that takes a lot of work to figure out but has been lots of fun to toy around with. I’ve only been able to find two tables so far the feel “complete” with sounds/scoring. Most tables you download will open but not start. Haven’t figured out what the trick is yet.

Fun and exciting

This app awesome I love pinball but I am new to this and I really don’t know how to download them and playing them does anyone know how I can download them and start playing them?

Thank you

the old 1950-70 electromagnetic tables, with the highest graphics settings running at 60fps, after you find the perfect camera angle, is easily the best pinball experience for the iPhone. an iPad version with more screen space would be great I have to leave the plunger and outlines halfway off screen sometimes on the iPhone so it’s not too small to see. an an option to disable or resize the back glass scoreboard to make the tables full screen, with out it clipping through the table would be nice. the newer tables that require roms, I had to repackage the file with the rom included and once they work it is insanely good, it feels like pinball history in the palm of your hands thanks the the community putting in so much work, the fact that every table has unique physics is wild.. flintstones, lethal weapon, terminator, black lagoon, etc. slot more to discover since it’s before my time there’s some great original tables too, love the passion out behind the details and realism of each one thanks again

Need table depository

Works well but there should a direct link to tables in the proper format. Otherwise this will remain a very niche app.

Fun and exciting

Amazing app for IOS, just need this as iPad app to fill screen.

I am really loving this app on iOS. I just wish there was a native iPad app as well so that it would run in full screen. Thanks for the work porting this over to iOS!
