I will always tell people that are not inclined to learn how a vpin works and be patient and like to figure out stuff NOT to buy a virtual pinball machine.
#Launch pinball wicked with pinballx windows
Even the Windows was pirated and there was an fx3 on it which only worked in desktop mode (also pirated of course). To be honest, I once was called to help a guy with his machine that be bought "fully configured, ready to go" and it really was a mess.Īfter taking a good look we decided just to reinstall the system. This is exactly why I always try to encourage people to build their own machine. If there is something I need to add please let me know.“ If there is something I need to change on the site please let me know. In the mean time, I'd like to encourage all content creators and table authors to please use VPU. I'll do what I can to combat and frustrate pack sharers, drive sellers and complete cabinet sellers. With all this said, and my frustrations with the hobby, VPUniverse is not going anywhere. I have not had a response to re-hosting, but I'm sure he's getting hammered with messages just like I am. I immediately offered to help in any fashion that I am capable. I talked to him yesterday when I saw the message on the site.
I have offered Randr to re-host VPinball on my server in a read only state until we can determine what to do with the content. I still have a lot of tweaking to do, but so far the site and server is more than capable of handling the traffic. I've put in a lot of time and effort into updating VPU, changing servers, and adding more security measures. It becomes obvious as to who the people who purchased vs those that took time to learn.Ī couple weeks ago I offered VPinball to join forces with VPU and create a good resource.
These people don't care to learn about the hobby they are trying to get into. Or the people "I don't have time to learn how any of this works, but I want it now". They cater to the people that have the mentality of "I want it all! I want it now! I don't want to have to do any work to get it!". These types of people have existed since the early early early days of emulation or any hobby that is a digital format.
Unfortunately there is no easy solution to the problem. As one of the Admins for HyperSpin, this is something we have dealt with over the past 20 years. I too am frustrated with the pack shares, drive sellers and cabinet sellers that are including our content. Just like everyone here I truly hate seeing the site go like this. As a site owner/operator I am very saddened to see just close up shop like it has. I too frequented very often and valued everything on the site.
