Pairing Your VirtuaTilt with a Windows PC

After loading one of the three PC-targeted profiles (STEAM-XInput, VPX-FuturePinball, or STEAM-Zaccaria), pair as follows:

Step 1 — Forget any previous pairing¶

• Open Windows Settings → Bluetooth & devices.
• Find any prior "VirtuaTilt", "X-Arcade", "Xbox Wireless Controller" or similar entry from previous sessions and click "Remove device".

Step 2 — Pair fresh¶

• Click "Add device" → "Bluetooth".
• Wait for the device "VirtuaTilt-Steam" or "VirtuaTilt-PC" to appear.

• Click the matching entry and confirm the pairing.

 

 

 

 

Step 3 — Verify¶

• Open Run (Win+R), type joy.cpl, press Enter. You should see your VirtuaTilt listed as a game controller.

• Click "Properties" and try the buttons / sticks. Cabinet buttons should fire and analog axes (plunger, nudge) should respond.

 

 

NOTE: For STEAM-XInput profile users: a one-time Xbox driver registration is required for full XInput compatibility. See the chapter "Xbox Drivers Installation" further down in this guide.
