I will also lookover DBM tonight too.

Load times are longer through the editor too. For example, AC/DC get skipped over when using the automatic recorder. However, if I use the recorder at the AC/DC table level, it records just fine. Of course I could do all these problematic recordings one at a time, but thats obviously not ideal. For maintenance type work like this, I run windowed mode. I will look it over closer tonight and post some logs.

Okay I have been using the automatic recorder located in the game manager, but I am finding that some table do not get recorded. It seems the simpler EM tables record fine, but the more complex DMD tables do not. Ever since I installed a 4k-120hz playfield TV, it takes 4-5x longer for tables to load. Could there be a recorder time-out issue that is causing these tables to be passed over? I dont think there is an issue with the recorder, I think it might be a setting. Has anyone experienced this? If its a time-out issue, is there a way I can raise the time-out threshold so my more complex tables will auto record? Thanks

Thanks guys. Will check it out.

So in the past, I had been creating my own speech files for the various titles when browsing and it was a painstaking process, but what I am seeing here with this new feature certainly makes it a ton more easy. Many thanks for adding this to PBX. You guys must have read my mind. Scary! So when I was doing this, I was using a sexy female voice that would call out the titles when scrolling, and it really made for a very cool effect. Please consider adding additional voices if possible to this feature. I will even pay a license for it if need be to have more variety. Keep up the great work Tom and all. You guys seriously rock.

Okay I redid things and made a copy of the ini. I really appreciate the help, but I am not gonna dig further to figure out what went screwy. Hell, it could have been the beer deleting shit for all I know. If it disappears agin I will chime in. Thanks Bill

Here it is. Looks like I need to rebuild it. But I will make a copy of the file this time. Thanks. PinballX.ini

Okay I have loaded all of my emulator settings twice now, but they keep disappearing. They test fine when configuring, but when I come back in a few hours to play, thy are all gone. I have configured PinballX many times before, but have not seen this. Any ideas? Thanks

Just wanting to know if there is a random selection feature that can randomly pick a table in PBX. Thanks

Is there a such thing? I simply want to have PBX pick a random table to play. Thanks

Its now working correctly. I did another PBX re-install, and added the LAV filters. I use PF videos and maybe the lack of the LAV filters was causing all the fuss. Now its working perfectly like with my last PC. Thanks all for the help.

Tried admin. Issue remains. Noticed that it take a bit longer for "loading" to appear, once a table is chosen. Never seeing any errors. So the big issue now is I cant return to the PBX browser menu. Still hangs. Also using the latest rev of PBX too. No prior installations. Log attached. Many thanks for the help guys. Greatly appreciated. log.txt

Okay some progress. But thing still seem to be very erratic. -Settings will now open up -PBX will run -I can browse the tables -I can select a table What is not working: -Cant exit a table and return to the browsing menu. It seems to hang with a black screen, and I have to restart the PC. Again I am using the .ini, configs etc from the prvious PC, that worked flawless. PinballX.ini

Just built a new PC for the cab, and I cant get PBX to work at all. It installs fine, and I have copied the .ini, config files from a back up, and it should be working fine. I have installed it this way in the past and it just worked. But not now. Cant get into settings, and when you run PBX, the menus for browsing are working, but tables wont load. Dont even get the "loading window", and it also appears to freeze and I am not able to close out. If I alt/tab, I see two PBX's running. I also cant get into the manager. Sheesh. Have uninstalled, reinstalled. Tried 64bit/32 bit. Just dont get it. Is there a cleaner tool to clean the registry. I can only assume something in there could be the issue. Again this is a brand new system, and everything else appears to be working.

Tom, Any word on this? Thanks

Draco, i think i caused some confusion. I was speaking to if the industry would ever develop large square monitors to replace the hack job i have with the two smaller monitors. Sorry i was not more clear. No charmin squeezing intended. I am confident Tom can creat a script that will hide the icons like i need. He has helped me quite a bit in addressing the weird issue i see that are related to my more unique setup.

Will do. Its really nice having a larger display for the backglasses. Even though its a major hack from two monitors. But until they make a 22" square monitor, I am shit out of luck. Gotta a feeling I will continue to be shit out of luck.

Yeah I understand that. Mod would be best. Many thanks.

Here is what I am talking about

Dont really want to hide the desktop icons. Also running W10 home. I am running two monitors in the backbox that are in portrait mode side by side. I simp[ly span across them to create one large backbox display. So when PBX is running in the browsing mode. I am showing "backbox" image on the left monitor and thisd shows the tables flyer. On the right side, I run "topper" and this shows the tables play card. Now for each image on each monitor, it is NOT full screen. It is a "cropped image" that allows the desktop icons to show. So I am running something out of the norm. Best thing for me would be to force black screen or an image on all displays when PBX starts up. FIles attached and thanks. PinballX.ini log.txt

Okay when I launch PBX, I can still see desktop icons on my backglass screen. I would prefer for those to be blacked-out when PBX is booting up. Or maybe even force a selected image so the desktop icons are covered. Is this possible?

That sounds awesome. Thanks again.

I would need more time to try them all. I have at least 140 vp10 tables. I can start testing tommorow if you like. But the fact that the troublesome bbbb is now working properly, gives me some comfort that the issue is much closer to a solution. I will test tomorrow and respond asap. Again many thanks for working on it.

Results for the third exe - big step forward. I tested a handful of VP10 tables and the ones that would not load their backglasses with the second test exe, no work properly withthe third exe. Plus BBBB is now loading its backglass for the first time. Your definitely on the right path.

trying now,.
