[QUOTE="Jay, post: 293661, member: 504"] After all these years, I finally began exploring VPX tables. I'm not sure what took me so long. I'm really impressed with the sheer volume of tables, and the rare tables people have meticulously recreated. I've been inspired to being recreating some tables myself. I'm not keen on the vintage Windows95 interface, but it works. One question I have for those of you who have been using VPX for a while: is it always so wonky? It seems like a crap shoot as to which tables will function and which won't. What I run into a lot is a problem where a table asks me if I have permission to run it, and then it crashes. I don't seem to have any way to check the "Yes" button before things crash. Another frequent issue is that a table will load (usually one of the more recent ones) but there will be no way to start a game. I can insert coins, but there doesn't appear to be any way to press "Start". The usual mapped keys do nothing. That said, the tables that do work are wonderful! I mean, heck, I can play OXO, one of my favorite obscure tables! And they do have my all-time favorite, Comet, but unfortunately that's one of the tables that won't start. At any rate, I think I'm going to have a lot to keep me occupied for a while.... [/QUOTE]
