Visual Pinball is a 3D pinball engine based on Windows. There's lots of free tables and tons or recreations of real pinball tables available. I think it'd be great if this was worked on.

I know there's not many Xbox developers these days so there's not much of a chance of this happening but I'd though I'd put it out there.

I hope we do see an xbox port.

This has been number one on my wish list for years..

me three

Could you imagine hooking up an Xbox with VP to an HDTV?

That probably almost costs the same as getting a real pinball machine lol

I would rather have a real one just because I would know its real, and also for the analog feel of pushing the buttons for flappers, being able to bump the table, exc. Bumping a giant LCD might end in disaster lol

Yes but you'd be able to play 100's of pinball machines.

I'm for this 100%. There is alot of 90's pinball machines I'm itching to play.

Yeah, but it wouldn't be the same I don't think, as playing the real ones.... I would rather just have a normal TV set up so I can sit down and play, if its going to be virtual.

im sure someone on here is interested, they just aint talkin yet, lmao

What do you know? haha

Wow, I am very interested too! Any Xbox developer is still alive? Even if he cannot do this port, it would be very usefull if he can give us some clue in order that we (developers without experience in Xbox) can go into this project

There are a handful of Xbox developers out there still, but most of which don't actively write for Xbox, and those that do are working on their own projects and probably wont port this, but we can always dream

At least it can be said that the xbox scene is still alive and kickin'. At least through the mod community.

As long as there is folks who still play xbox, there will always be another port of something. Just don't expect to play visual pinball right away.

Yeah, if it does happen, Visual Pinball is a complex program that would take a year or more probably to port... if you figure emulators can take 6 months to a year for a good programmer to port over. Plus im not even sure when programming language VP is written in... if its anything other than straight C++ it becomes a hassle in itself just to rewrite everything to make it work with the XDK

From Wikipedia:



If we get a porter I'd say maybe 6 to 8 months provided there are no snags.

It's been awhile, just wondering if anyone's working on this?

i doubt it, the first thing is, is anyone interested in even porting this? would love to see this on the box.

It would be awesome to have this on Xbox, but I think there is probably more
chance of finding hens teeth...lol.
That and another update to Alien vs Predator on Xbox...can't see any of them happening.

You are wrong on AvP. I talk to SirLemonHead all the time and he has done a lot of work on it. He will be releasing an update as he has said.

As for Visual Pinball, this is a big project to take on. Either a new dev will need to come around and get interested or a current/old dev will need to be interested enough to focus exclusively on this for some time. I like Pinball a lot and this slightly gets my interest but not enough to divert from the other things I am working on. I hope someone does take it on.

Thats good to know then. People have been asking for some time about progress updates,
with no reply, so I thought this was an indication that it was pretty much "dead in the water".
Thanks for keeping us updated.

looking forward to updates on pinball (if any) and definately avp.

Xport said that it would be tough to port....
I think it would be amazing!

Power to it's production!

I would absolutely love to have this, but I think are chances of seeing it are slim to none. This is really the only thing left to port besides the fabled 3do or Jaguar emu's that we'll never see...

I dont know much but im willing to take the time to try and make this happen, anyone have some helpful links for someone willing to attempt to make this happen message me. I want this bad enough to waiste my time trying

I think everyone who has a modded xbox would like to see this, but it seems that it has been talked about for years and never got anywhere

Its only been open source recently though... maybe once there is nothing left to port, some up and coming programmer will take on the task!

I know people will probably be annoyed that this think got bumped almost a year later... but any news on this at all being attempted? Would be an awesome thing to see on the Xbox.
