Folder Options

PinballY uses a number of external files to read and store information on the pinball tables you have installed on your system, and the video and graphic files displayed in the UI. This dialog lets you tell PinballY where to look for these files.

Media folder

This is the base folder where all of the graphics and video files for your games are installed. This folder contains subfolders for different media types and for different systems (Visual Pinball, Future Pinball, etc). The actual media files are stored in subfolders according to the type of image/video they contain.

This is the "global" base folder that contains all of the other media folders, so this folder affects all game systems. Each system's media folder is always a subfolder of this main folder.

Table database folder

This is the base folder where your "table database" files are stored. These are XML files that contain information the installed games, such as the title of each game, the manufacturer, and the pinball program that it's written for.

As with the Media folder, this is the global base folder for all of the individual table database folders for the different game player systems (Visual Pinball, etc). Each system has its own subfolder within this main folder.
