Do you have a v-pin? DId you build it or buy?
Yes, I built mine about 2 years ago. Bought the wood pre-cut because I'm lazy, other than that everything was done and assembled by myself. 3 screen setup with (I think) a 42 inch playfield. After I got it done my brother was so impressed he wanted his own, so we built another for him.
VPX (to me) was much, much easier to fool with than FP. I had my software setup done a while before Baller Installer was released. I reckon it basically just does everything I already installed but in one package rather than a dozen separate downloads.
I use Pinup Popper as a frontend, which is extremely easy to fool with. I run VPX, FX3, and FP tables through the frontend. There's only maybe 3 tables I ever use in FP. To me, VPX looks and plays closer to a real pin than anything in FP.
Setting up the software from scratch can be intimidating, but once it's done you never have to bother with it again. I slummed it on a lot of my cab by going with many of the cheapest options available (even then it still ran over $2000) but I am extremely satisfied with the outcome.
