I think the error is actually being raised from pinup for dmdext to spit out, but why it needs a rom name for FX3 i don't know, maybe something has changed in later versions of pup/dmdext since the Aliens pack was posted?. The only other thing i can suggest is to try adding -g ALIENS to the launch parameters to see if that helps (it shouldn't as it should be used to tell dmdext the gamename for FP not FX3), and make sure you're on the latest versions of dmdext & pinup. If you still have issues then i guess it's time to raise a bug on github https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/issues and hope freezy has a clue.

It'll fit on one line (copy and paste is easier though!).. it looks like the -q to quit on exit from Mikes tip is included already in the line so no need to worry about that.

Dmdext can have an extra parameter to close itself when host process is stopped No after launch script is needed

Looking at the links i think you're correct. I still think the pup stuff can work from PinballX for FX3 without the pupdmdcontrol thingy. From [New PuP-Pack Alert]ALIENS (FX3 PuP-Pack) - Pinup-Popper & PuP-Pack Releases - Virtual Pinball Universe (vpuniverse.com) There's this launch info; c: cd /d "C:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME" start /min "" "dmdext.exe" mirror --source=pinballfx3 -q -d virtual --fx3-legacy --fps 60 --use-ini="c:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME\DmdDevice.ini" --pinup PinUp\[GAMENAME] Which would translate in PinballX as a 'Launch before' action (under settings for the system) Launch Before Executable - dmdext.exe Launch Before path - C:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME (or whatever) Launch Before Parameters - mirror --source=pinballfx3 -q -d virtual --fx3-legacy --fps 60 --use-ini="c:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME\DmdDevice.ini" --pinup PinUp\[TABLEFILEWOEXT] (i'm not sure in FX3 if the parameter would be TABLEFILEWOEXT, TABLEFILE or even DESCRIPTION) You might need a launch after as well to kill dmdext when you exit a table? (not sure about that either!) Hope that helps a bit...

You could download and install the latest version of PinballX and follow the well documented setup instructions included with the download, then open new threads for any issues you encounter. This is the best way to learn how to use and maintain the program for yourself. You can also download the latest update from here. Based upon the quoted response, I get the impression that you are really not interested in doing so, but I will encourage you to do so regardless.

So if anyone does want to help him/her I would try to remember its tough times and ask them to pay and get it up front. Of course if they want to try and help themselves a little they can get it for free as always.

Honestly, adding tables is a grey area but i am sure people would help if you were willing to pay a good price for it but do you?. It can be fun for us but we don't all get a real kick of doing that stuff. We are not all suckers either.
