Virtual Pinhead
> A clever person posted an experimental build of VPX for the M1 Apple hardware — as a kind of science project. But there are a lot of external processes and frameworks that would also require porting to give you the whole VPX experience.
This isn't so much the case anymore. Thanks to some stellar work by jsm174, you can download a prebuilt binary from github actions for either Mac or Linux. Android and IOS versions are floating around as well. What started off in the "standalone" branch was recently merged into the mainline 10.8.1 version of Visual Pinball. A good number of the "external processes and frameworks" have already been ported over (DMD (Dot Matrix Display) support, anaglyph support) with more in progress (e.g. PUP (Multimedia) Packs). Linux / Mac support is OpenGL for now but work is underway to port vpinball to the BGFX cross platform rendering library (used by MAME for one) that will open the door to Vulkan and Metal.

The approach taken to make all this happen is outlined here: https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/blob/standalone/standal...

Ask HN: Why is there no modern successor to the 3D Pinball games of yesteryear?
Visual Pinball X [1] is a free modern pinball simulator. It also supports VR, and comes pretty close to feeling like the real thing (sans realistic bumping).
There are hundreds of VPX format tables available online including original works, replicas of physical tables and replicas of existing digital tables. I've played dozens of hours of Stern's Tron Legacy both on a physical table and in Visual Pinball X, and I prefer VPX over the real thing.
There's also a high quality remake of 3D Space Cadet [2] available. Playing that one in VR feels like stepping into a PC in the 90s.

Getting into Pinball
Yes, we're targeting all the desktop platforms, i.e. Windows, Linux and macOS.
But thanks to recent efforts, VPX also runs on Linux now! It's on the standalone branch[1], under actions you can download a build.

Pinball via bigbox
In my home arcade room, next to the custom 27" RGB CRT-based arcade cabinet running Bigbox, there's a virtual pinball cabinet with a large portrait mode flat screen for the playfield (and two more LCDs for the backglass and score display). I also play some vertical mode (aka Tate) arcade games on the VPin cab because I'm into Japanese shmups and they really need a portrait monitor to shine. I also have several physical pinball machines.These two forums will get you started: https://www.vpforums.org/ http://vpuniverse.com/.

Epic games pinball FX
So the biggest tip that I found going through the forum was to find all the "Rom" files for the real tables. That was the biggest issue. I saw a comment https://www.vpforums.org/ that changed everything for me. I was directed to this link: https://archive.org/details/vpinmame that features all the ROM files (mods please remove link if it's against terms). You can also find this page by googling "Archive.org pinball Roms". The file is over 12G, but with that in place in the proper folder in my system, that really changed everything because now 95% of all of those tables that did not work before, now work.
