startup sound, browsing, and table launch are not playing for me.

Thanks for the response, will attach shortly. log.txt I have the same issue on 4 machines, they might have originated from 1 though (maybe something is messed up with it, years ago). I just miss the sounds

I will buy a few beers to anyone who can figure this out!!!

as the title states, I have not startup sounds with this version. I have tried it on multiple machines, no sounds play. This is when installing onto of an older version if that helps. Thanks

The media searching matching thing is now fixed (not sure what version, but the latest 6.29 works great for me) Thanks for all your help guys.

I'm all good now, thanks guys. I do wish I didn't have to have DMDDevice64.dll in my PinballX dir, but at least everything seems to be working now. I also had to change the exact match in settings too (strange as all my filenames do match as I wrote a little database program to make my xml files for me from my system (I used to be a programmer). So the issue was I have to place a copy of my DMDDevice64.dll from VPinMAME dir to Pinballx dir and the loading would work fine then. Does everyone have to do this? It seems like PinballX thinks I have a real DMD without putting this file there. I would prefer not to have to update that dll everytime I update DMDDevice. Thanks for all your help.

OMG, thanks scutters I am back up and running with turning on file matching, THANK YOU SIR, you are awesome. Update: I do still have 1 issue, I have a DMD screen on my playfield, anyway to hide that? Its not the same as the DMD monitor in my cab that is working fine by showing artwork for the specific table, the on on the playfield is just showing x-men or something always. Thanks Update2: I was able to hide the dmd window by copying over dmddevice.ini to pinballx and turning the virtual display off. Is there anyway to disable the DMDDevice stuff (I don't need it withing PinballX but want it for VPX? I can't seem to launch any table without issue now. (wow journey to update PinballX has been tough

Not sure what is better, having blank artwork but loading PinballX or what I had before. So my problem now is I have no artwork loading for 6.23, but it does start up. Any ideas on this one? Thanks, have to be so close but strange as I didn't change anything in ini from 6.07 to 6.23 log-623.txt PinballX.ini XDMDlog.txt

I finally got past that freezing screen. I copied over my DMDDevice64.dll from VPinMame to Pinballx dir and it now runs. I installed latest 6.23 and it runs, yeah!!!!!! (I don't have my table images or backglasses or dmd images working, but that should be an easy fix, thanks guys. I hope this can help others. I see a super small bug in the log 07:47:06.2 12/10/2024: Unitialize Real DMD Device should be Initialize Real DMD Device.

Thanks for the reply, still trying to figure this out. I renamed my pinballx dir to pinballx_bak and tried to install PinballX 6.22, but got the same result. So I know its not my database stuff or media. I also see XDMDlog.txt has this: 07:31:00.9 12/10/2024: Initialize XDMD. Developed by Spesoft. 07:31:00.9 12/10/2024: Attempting to Initialize Real DMD Device 07:31:07.6 12/10/2024: Attempting to Initialize Real DMD Device I don't have a real DMD, could this be the issue (even though on 6.07 has the same log file. Update: Scutters, your awesome. I read through that other thread and decided to check that Real PinDMD box (I used to have one in the cab years ago). and I get a error on launch, but it then continues to the default screen, yeah. Just have to figure how to get rid of that error message. Getting close.

I also upgraded my nvidia driver to 12-05024 version. Not sure if its related as 607 works fine and 610 doesn't with same driver. Its just that the line says running main display running full screen windowed. When I installed the latest Nvidia driver my display order changed in windows and I had to change VPX to use a different monitor number for playfield. I thought it was related to the DMDDevice.dll, but everything seems fine. Very frustrating as I have many years of experience with VP and all its addons. I can't wait to figure this one out. Is there anyway to add more logging to PinballX, I want to see more between these log lines: Loading Game Statistics and Scores and Main display running full screen windowed. that 2nd line fails to get logged, but I do have restart the computer so maybe the log fails to close and write those lines. Thanks again.

I have been away from the VP scene for about 1 year, last version of PinballX I had installed (main pincab) was 6.05. I upgraded B2S, VPinMame, DMDext, VP itself, and everything seemed great until I tried to upgrade to PinballX 6.22. I then went back and found that 6.07 will work on my system but nothing past that. PinballX just shows main loading screen and blanks out all my screens and stays there. Here are my 2 logs from working and non working. They differ from the line Main display running full screen windowed (if that helps). Any ideas, Thanks log-610.txt log-607.txt PinballX.ini
