I've been looking into the virtual pinball programs as I'm considering building a virtual pinball table.

I started by downloading Visual pinball and VPinMAME but not had any luck in actually playing a game of pinball. It really seems more trouble than it's worth what with having to download ROMs then tables then the sound, nothing seems to be in the same place and requires lots of searching and even then I can't get it to work.

Does anyone use Visual Pinball and have detailed instructions on how to use it or know of a one stop shop to get the tables?

Or is there a different easier program to use?
