Jan 2nd 2026 Version 1.5.2 (32bit) Beta3 Release Download

Feb 21, 2026

An all new PinUP Player Display driver ready to be rolled out and beta tested in community! So many low-level changes that it deserved the v2.0 build number jump!

Here's some of the updates:

• Full 64-Bit (x64) build to allow PuPDMDS to take advantage of more speed and space for all the UI and graphic goodness!
• NO MORE VLC video player. V2.0 uses native ffmpeg drivers to get low-level and performance directly without the need of the extra layers and issues VLC interface had.
• Full OPENGL rendering/hardware accelerated to have full control and features like transitions and shaders to make PuPDMDs and Popper shine!
• new Sound-engine-interface, new HUD drawing features and plenty of stuff you'll get to see in the future!

As usual, this is a beta release and need community testing with all the different hardware and setups/gpus. The update doesn't stop you from easily rolling back the exes to v1.5.2 to get back to older-stable 32bit version.

Note: This is the PinUP Player Display Driver, it is used in Popper and v1.5 PuP-Packs and v1.5 PuP-DMDS. it will have no affect on older v1.4 puppacks/pupdmds as those still use the older v1.4 exes when used.

Huge shout-out and thanks for all the beta-testers who helped with all the v2.0 testing, Happy Gaming!

March 1, 2026 Beta 18: https://nailbuster.com/updatesv15/PinUPPlayer_v20_x64_beta18.zip

Fixed orbital pups having black windows
Finished PUPSSF for Future Pinball, Popper
Added PinUpDisplayX15.exe to update to easily allow you to manually force some v1.5 pup/pupdmds to use it.
Please overwrite ALL files as some DLLS have been changed/added.

notes:

Beta18 includes all files needed, no need to apply beta16 first if this is your first update.

If you have a v1.5 PuPDMD or PuPPack that isn't working in v2.0 then you can do the following: With pup/pupdmds made with v1.5 theres an INI in root of puppack called: usePuPDriver.ini, modify that file so that filename says Driver=PinUPDisplayX15.exe

If you have some weird startup errors: Theres a new PUPEventViewer.exe troubleshooting helper app. Run that app first and then run v2.0 Popper or v2.0 PupPack and may help you see whats going on with PuP or your OS messages.

Best to use VPC Discord Beta Channel Chat for support or just to let me know that all is good with testing. cheers.

Feb 21, 2026 Beta-16 https://www.nailbuster.com/updatesv15/PinUPPlayer_v20_x64_beta16.zip

How-To: backup PinUPPlayer.exe and PinUPDisplayX.exe and overwrite contents (unblock zip) into PinUPSystem folder.

If you have issues you can simply copy older versions of the exe (the update will not touch other files, so easy to downgrade with older exes).
