There were some fixes to real dmds in more recent versions. That could be your problem. Otherwsie as the developer its hard for me to troubleshoot unless I have the product. First I've heard of ZeDMD. Does it have Freezy support? I dont think 32 bit PinballX is your answer but if you want to try, you need to run the installer with compatibly settings for xp then not install the 64 bit version.

Yeah, The Microsoft .net framework does not work like that. A newer version is not necessarily that but a different version altogether. So trust the guy that wrote it and not question it and do what it is asking! If .net 3.5 won't install I am guessing you have a hacked or lite windows iso. Not a question for here, sorry. Is that what you are saying, or are you upset about installing it?

I'm pretty unbiased on Windows normally but other than real Wi-Fi 7 from what ive read its just more bloat, spyware and adware for people like us.

I see a youtube that 24h2 windows 11 is RTM now. However it is not available to me in my vs subscription.

GameEx works (along with everything I have here)

No worries. Take care.

Okay, ill look. Thanks.

So 18.56 works, or does not work?

hmm, im on win 11 too and dont have any issues. im really not sure right now.

No data to clear i am aware of. Not really sure right now. Anything else change on the machine? Does it work with previous version? What type of video file is it? if the path is in the movie field it will search for info on a new install.

What happens, just black screen when you select a video? Was it working before, anything changed? I wonder if its stopping at the part it gets movie data from my server perhaps. ill try with your ini shortly Edit; you said new install had issue too. It could be video card maybe but you should get something in the log.

Did you try and play a video with that log?

I wasnt aware of that bug. i was planning to look at the screenshots though as some said they were not showing up.

Working fine for me. I didnt test an external player. Is that what you are trying to do? i just used the default theme. Does that work?

its not broken that i am aware of. its possible i guess but your the first to report it. ill test in a minute but you know the drill about log files etc.

Yes, remove the controls.ini path.

I might just be behind the times but what is -Extminimized?

Im not using the insider program other than tests in a vm as i want something stable day to day and its only the dev and canary channel that are of interest to me. I know you need the dev or canary channel though for 24h2 so you may not be on it. (I wouldnt recommend the dev or canary channel if you get work done on the machine). When 24h2 becomes beta Ill probably join you.

Since Open shell works now I've moved to 11. I noticed the 7 zip support but I still use 7 zip GUI. I guess it means though they scan inside your files when a government asks them to as the world moves toward compulsory csam! Not sure if I'm just set in my ways but I have no need for AI search, or a start menu that sucks donkey dick. I have used AI but AI in an OS is just unnecessary bullshit for advanced users in my opinion. Probably a groundbreakingly step forward for people with serious disabilities though. Which is the upside and noble prize stuff. Which insider channel do you use?

So I quickly tested the following. All install and work without issue. I downloaded with Edge and used the embedded Windows extraction. GameEx, GameEx Arcade Edition, PinballX, Lav Filters, Open Shell and Instant Sheller. So it seems there is maybe a naughty list for certain apps or this guy was talking shit! 7zip also also installed without issue. Windows 11, version 24H2 (26100.2) amd64 That is how it went for me. I tested with VPN inactive and using the normal pihole blocklist

If you want to try Windows 11 24h2 without joining the insider program this seems to work well. https://uupdump.net/ i am testing today.

So, its still in testing and not even a beta but I came across this yesterday. Its on my list to test my apps and pay Microsoft if needed. I'm not 100% sure if its just unsigned exes or certain ones and Microsoft manages a naughty list (or good boy list) but from the below it looks like any exe. You already have to pay Amazon, Google and Apple for the privilege of giving away free software so my take is I am seeing this going the same. On a positive note it has been reported that Apple is allowing emulators in their store.

It could be a windows update or an emu update that broke things. Windows broke background direct input in GameEx some time ago. Its possible. Its kind of why GameEx will never be finished.

Again, I think its an issue with GameEx and my burden to bare! You have the option of rolling back to an older version though until I get to it. There all here.
