Visual Pinball X and VPinMAME Install

I couldn't find easy to follow instructions for setting up Visual Pinball X with VPinMAME, so I created one. I've tested these instructions using Windows 11.

Replace "D:" with whatever drive you prefer in the instructions that follow.

Installation

Follow these steps in order.

Foobar2000 DSD and SACD support

I've successfully followed these steps to get DSD (.dsf filetype) and SACD (.iso filetype) playing at high bit rate using foobar2000 on my S.M.S.L M500 DAC.

This has been adapted from "SECTION II" of this page, thanks to "sirblew" for the tip!

Introduction

DSD stands for Direct Stream Digital and it is a high-definition lossless audio format with a twist. PCM signal solutions (like FLAC, TTA or APE) measure a set of bits multiple times per second to capture the audio data, hence the 16/24-bit parameter. On the other hand, DSD uses only one bit but samples it 2.8 million times a second to capture the audio signal.

Garlic OS Tips (Windows-based)

GarlicOS Cookbook

Follow these instructions for an easy way to get up and going quickly! These are complete instructions, and will be the easiest way to get started on a new RG35XX.

Set up SD Card

Get a high quality SD (e.g. SanDisk Extreme) card, 128GB or larger, 256GB is recommended. Don't skimp here, they're cheap, and don't use the card that comes with the RG35XX as it's crap.
