## Specific system information

### Tables

Visual Pinball is a complex system, each table can require different type of files listed here:

* .vpx table file
* .directb2s (backglass)
* .UltraDMD folder (dot matrix display)
* rom files (original pinball machine ROM)
* music files
* PUPVideos

Some tables require only the .vpx file, but most require at least the directb2s and rom file in addition.

#### VPX files

VPX file needs to be placed in the `\roms\vpinball\` folder.

#### directb2s files

directb2s file needs to be placed in the `\roms\vpinball\` folder, with the exact same name as the vpx file:

#### UltraDMD folders

UltraDMD folders need to be placed in the `\roms\vpinball\` folder, do not change the name of the folder from the one you got with your table:

#### ROM files

Tables that are run with the VPinMAME version of the program require an additional .zip file called ROM.

These files need to be placed in the `\roms\vpinball\roms` folder :&#x20;

To know what the rom name should be, run the **PinMAME32.exe** file located in the `\emulators\vpinball\VPinMAME` folder and check the rom file associated with your table:
