[QUOTE="Iguana, post: 176360, member: 3254"] VP help request: I'll start with the bottom line: Can anyone out there recommend the hardware and system requirements needed for me to play Visual Pinball (on a laptop)? My goal is to buy a used laptop and use it more or less exclusively to play (no interest in creating) VP tables. I've always used Apple hardware, but around 12 years ago I was gifted an HP laptop (which was soon ungifted due to a divorce). Since then, my only experience with Windows computers has been simple data entry at my job. When I had the laptop all those years ago, I enjoyed the hell out of playing VP and would love to have access to it again. I currently play all of the TPA and A.S.K. (Zaccaria) tables on my iPad... Love it, yet it sure would be a pleasure to go down memory lane and play some EM's. I'm acquainted with a guy who has a fairly large PC shop (used hardware and repairs), and my plan is to let him know precisely what I need to get back on the VP bandwagon. I've done a little research, and the following is what I found (from the VP site, as I recall): Operating System: Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows 2000 Processor: Pentium 166 or above Graphics: 16-bit color or above RAM: 16 megabytes (32 or more recommended) Anything else? ------------------------------------------- Again, I need the specs for a laptop. An advice would be greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
