This fork builds Visual Pinball X as a standalone VR app for Meta Quest (tested on Quest 3) and PICO headsets (OpenXR, Vulkan). One APK for both: it uses the Khronos OpenXR loader, so the headset's own runtime takes over. No PC, no streaming: tables and ROMs live on the headset.

- Table downloader: pick tables from the Visual Pinball Collection on archive.org, ROM and backglass are installed with them
- Main menu on a curved screen in VR, left stick click switches between mixed reality and a black VR space
- Mixed reality (passthrough) switchable from the in-game menu
- Backglass rebuilt from the desktop backdrop for tables not designed for VR, including EM score reels
- VR room switching, adjustable table position, angle, size and distance
- Standard DMD and segment score displays for tables without their own 3D display
Table script overrides that switch on the VR room of tables shipping with it disabled are in quest-overrides.
Everything below is the upstream Visual Pinball documentation.
An open source pinball table editor and simulator.
This project was started by Randy Davis, open sourced in 2010 and continued by the Visual Pinball development team. This is the official repository.
- Simulates pinball table physics and renders the table with DirectX, OpenGL or bgfx
- Simple editor to (re-)create any kind of pinball table
- Live editing of most content within the rendered viewport
- Table logic (and game rules) can be controlled via Visual Basic Script
- Over 1050 real/unique pinball machines from ~100 manufacturers, plus over 550 original creations were rebuilt/designed using the Visual Pinball X editor (over 3000 if one counts all released tables, incl. MODs and different variants), and even more when including its predecessor versions (Visual Pinball 9.X)
- Emulation of real pinball machines via PinMAME is possible via Visual Basic Script (Visual PinMAME), or via the libPinMAME-API/plugin
- Supports configurable camera views (e.g. to allow for correct display in virtual pinball cabinets)
- Support for Tablet/Touch input, Joypads, or specialized pinball controllers
- Support for Stereo3D output
- Support for Head tracking via BAM
- Support for VR/XR HMD rendering (including PUP, B2S backglass and DMD output support)
- Support for WCG/HDR rendering (for now only via the BGFX (D3D11/12) build)
- Support for Windows (x86), Linux (x86/Arm, incl. RaspberryPi and RK3588), macOS, iOS/tvOS, Android (the latter builds are also available via the respective app stores for free)
- Plugin system to drive/fuel all kinds of displays (DMD, backglass, etc), add custom/dynamically-changed content (PUP, Serum, etc), direct output framework (DOF), sensors, and much more (WIP)
