vp 932

TOM!!! i found a way it does work...thanks to the loafer. map pause to whatever exit is, brings up PX pause menu then select exit game and NVRAM then saves! why would that work?

Strange thing is no matter what I use to quit emulator it always gas that resume window at exit

I see the pause/quit/debug resume window then vp closes

Windowed I can see vp close right away

neither helped. funny thing is even the super long delay still did not allow VP to clear dmd or ledwiz outputs like VP direct run. I know that NVram saved back in the first few releases1.50 days as i changed a lot of tables to 5 ball while running through pinballx.... could it be related to having VP and vpinmame installed in program files folders? I do have admin rights on everything full rights on all security on all the folders...I could try and "move" VP and Vpinmame to root to see if it fixes problem but would need to image my hard drive first or you think thats not it? BTW everything else has been perfect! the strange crashs are gone for some time now! runs great!!!

Will try them tonight after dinner with the wife! Thanks tom!

I was super excited to try this!!! but still atleast for me does not save. Tom should i try without clear script with this version or just the nvram saving?

Interesting. We all have vpinmame in programs folder...while it works fine from vp direct I wonder if pinballx has a problem writing to program folder of windows?

I tried "e", "esc" both ways and same result nvram just will not save. I wonder if its just a win7 issue? "e" or"esc" running vp direct saved nvram either way

I am using "e" maybe I should try "esc" instead? Lol heck can't hurt to try

no change for me... i tried with and without clear script and still no nvram save. Is odd really....how does hyperpin differ from pinballx when it closes VP?

I never thought about it as I use a clear script but les is correct ledwiZ does leave ports on when exiting in pinballx so maybe VRAM not saving is related! As both nvram and ledwiz clear when running vp direct.

ini file log

did some digging around and found version 1.67 and works(50% of time)or less in that version..1.71-1.72 not working..

my juke box also was "broke" around same time I script it to backglass and jukebox is now behind black windowed backglass..again not sure what version broke that either. I should save old versions so I can go back and inform what version works and what version don't so maybe would be easier for tom to find issue.

I can confirm with 100% certainty its a pinballx issue. Tried for hours and is only a problem through frontend. It used to work just fine but couldn't tell you what version broke it...FYI I tried moving vpinmame install, everything is admin rights read write, deleted all nvram files but front end just don't allow saving of nvram.

running 1.76 but problem started a couple versions earlier... vpinmame is not saving scores, volume or adjustments only when running through pinballx. works fine directly running vp manually.

seems to did the trick..though slow. Loading screen is up backglass is up dmd is on and probably 5-7 sec later playfield will display. BUT WORKS!

same thing happens if you try to load another custom system vpinballdx9.exe

I found that if i rename test build to vpinball.exe it works just as it should...but if i set it up as "other system" with different .exe it loads with a black "loading" playfield. I wonder if we could somehow have another visual pinball system under settings as im thinking we will need two different VP builds running down the road? Tom what do you think?

Funny thing is I thought I had it fixed a few times...loads fine randomly ...must have to do with the new windowed full screen mode of dx9 vp I'm thinking

I setup another system, group ect.... loads backglass, DMD but playfield is stuck behind loading screen?..everything is working but cannot see table. any ideas? Running 1.75

Well its not showing up for me. linked worked thanks.. still looking for news section but its not where it used to be that's for sure.

what is in 1.73 versus 1.72?
