Support Scope
What 3DPTronics supports, what we don't, and where to get the right help.
3DPTronics supports the VirtuaTilt controller hardware only. All guides are a compendium to help you connect your VirtuaTilt to third-party pinball software (VPX, Future Pinball + BAM, DOF/DOFLinx, PinEvent, PinUP Popper, etc.). We do not provide official support for any third-party software referenced here — for software-specific issues, please refer to each project's own documentation and community channels.

💡 Why this matters
Our team is small and our expertise is the VirtuaTilt hardware. We cannot debug VPX scripts, troubleshoot flaky BAM installs, or fix broken DOF chains — those communities have their own experts who will help you far better than we can.
The AI chatbot on the wiki can help connect VirtuaTilt with most of the software above (we've fed it all the docs). For deeper or vendor-specific issues, please reach out to the appropriate community first.
