====== Update Baller Installer Jan, 2023 ======

These instructions are geared towards people who have already installed/using **Baller installer v2022.04 (april 2022, or updated from Feb 2022 update)**. If you are on an older v2021.04 (april 2021) version of Baller Installer then you should first check and/or update [[:update_baller_2022|older versions here]]:

**Always make a complete backup before updating system. (most importantly the vPinball folder and all subfolders) **
 <font inherit/inherit;;#27ae60;;inherit>**REMEMBER. UNBLOCK ZIPS AND TURN ANTI-VIRUS SOFTWARE OFF DURING UPGRADE….**</font>

This update does not change/update any PinUP software. If you've already updated VPX, VPINMAME, FP components of your baller installer then this update is not needed.

This download/update file is used to update your vpin software to the following parts:
<code>

Virtual Pinbal X 10.7.3 released version.
VPINMAME v3.5
Future Pinball: BAM updated to v1.5-357
Future Pinball: FuturePinball.exe and FPLoader.exe patched to access 4 GB
Future Pinball: 1K Physics Ball model setup for all tables (default.zip in BAM folder)

</code>

===== Update ALL-IN-ONE zip =====

If you just installed Baller or haven't updated any of the vpin-land parts(vpx,freezy,vpinmame,flex) yet then you can download this one zip.

Download zip file here: [[https://www.nailbuster.com/pinupdates/PinUP_Baller_update_Jan_2023.zip|https://www.nailbuster.com/pinupdates/PinUP_Baller_update_Jan_2023.zip]]

UnBLock and unzip into your vpinball root folder and overwrite all.

Note: there is a VPinballX106.exe file in zip that is VPX 10.6 that you can use as an alternateEXE in Popper (similar to how you did 10.7 beta before). Its there as a possible workaround if a old table wont work in 10.7. (note you cannot save a vpxfile in 10.7 and use it in 10.6).

This update should just 'work' after unzipping the folders/files. The update doesn't overwrite any setting or alias files.

Note: if you have some issues with VPINMAME 3.5 and some roms like (super mario bros). [[https://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/3928-new-vp10-alert-super-mario-bros-gottlieb-1992/?do=findComment&comment=42960|See this post]]:

===== Optional: FFMPEG 4K recording in Popper =====

You can use a newer FFMPEG now for GPU recording that no longer deals with this issue (no need for OBS or GFE).\\
FFMPEG new version/recording now supports GPU (lower level) recording!!! That should mean that with win10 you can now record FP and 4K playfields without needing to setup shadowplay or obs.\\
Should make life easier for everyone to have one simple recording solution for 4K/gpu with fullscreen exclusive.\\
There's not much to it except copy/paste the 2 files from the zip below into the recordings subfolder.

**REMEMBER TO UNBLOCK ZIP**
