Why?

I got tired of spending countless hours maintaining my Visual Pinball collection of files (front end media, tables, backglasses, etc) every other week.

What I really wanted was a ClrMamePro equivalent for Visual Pinball. Something to automate the tedius and monotonous tasks of maintaining a VP collection.

Which gave rise to.. ClrVpin.

How?

  • A fast lightweight desktop application using WPF, written in c# targetting the latest .net framework (v5).
  • Tested against..
    • Win10. In theory though it will work against other flavours of Windows and even Linux if that's your thing.
    • PinballY using the PinballX database file(s). In theory, will work against PinballY's native database file(s) too.
  • Effectively mapped out the manual workflows involved in maintaining the VP collectiona and then automating them.
