  1. Pleas attach your pinballx.ini and log.txt files
  2. What happens if you swap the alternateexe to launch vp9 instead?, i guess the issue would move to vp9 and vpx tables would then save ok. If so easiest fix might be t split into two systems in pbx one for each version. How easy that would be would depend how many tables you have of each type though.
  3. Yep, I can confirm both issues now resolved! Thanks Tom
  4. Guys, if you don't want to walk over to the pincab to navigate through the media you're playing then you can add a flirc usb (https://flirc.tv/more/flirc-usb) Added one to my cab and it works like a charm, you can use an old remote control you have laying around and map the remote buttons to pinballx keys For £20 it's a pretty easy way to add remote control functionality to the media player plugin / pinballx / pc. just make sure the remote you use doesn't also affect any other devices you're using (playfield / backglass tv's etc)
  5. I know you have LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=False, but what's in LaunchBeforeExecutable=fx3.savedel.bat ? Same result if you disable the LaunchBefore for FX3?
  6. I don't think you can for most of them. You can remove the Ratings blank entry by removing ratings on all tables.

    64bit too. Install the latest version, but don't select 64 bit during the install to avoid potential for unexpected issues. Let us know if that resolves the problem, if not post back and attach new copies of ini and log files (don't paste the contents into the thread!).
  8. I spent a bit of time searching for 128*32 company logos and didn't have too much luck, most larger images don't downscale very well. So here's a bunch i either found, converted or made. Probably best used for real dmd images, but i used as a base image for converting / upscaling to 1280*320 with a dot overlay for virtual DMD use without getting blurred colours. Hope they're of use to someone else.. If anyone has any more then please post them here, thanks. Edit - added a few more, bit of artistic license here and there, the newer stern logo might be more authentic without the grey loop (easy enough to edit out) and Taito is the style as used on aprons rather than company logo

    Posted in wrong forum, but i'm sure a kindly moderator will move it to the general forum for you. Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files (after running and trying to exit FP). Thanks. "and kill 2 pinball x and 1 backglass apps" is interesting... can you also give any more info on those (process names or screenshot).
  10. Hi Scott, As logs and ini files weren't supplied from anyone having the issue as far as i can tell, then probably not. I'm not sure if you had exactly the same issue or not as you had to rebuild the system from scratch (which i assume means a total re-install) rather than reconfigure key settings in visual pinball. Can you confirm the symptoms of your issue from memory? Like Mike_da_spike i've not had the issue so it's hard to guess stuff. Do you have the auto-configure option selected in settings for VP, i don't but could try setting that to test it if you do
  11. Yes - that's the one!
  12. A couple of minor issues on 3.55; The Enable Default Filters option in Settings.exe doesn't seem to update pinballx.ini anymore I haven't recreated this, but a message box appeared when starting pinballx, i think it was a date time stamp but occurred only once. I think it was after i added a new table in game manager, so maybe related to the new Recent Tables lists? Thanks for the updates Tom, appreciate the new functionality
  13. Tried it with a - system -.wav file but same result as you, didn't play.
  14. Sounds like a feature request, try posting on that thread;
  15. As well as log and ini files also post your database xml file. Might just be something to do with the extra dots in file name like Spider-Man_VPX_1.1.vpx
  16. Small update to the Windows Media Player Backglass Skin to fix scands/umlauts (whatever you want to call them) now updated in first post attachment. The font used doesn't handle those characters well so the skin now swaps out offending characters. Was; Now; If you already have the previous version of the skin installed you'll need to extract the wmz file from the zip but before double clicking it open WMP, right click on it and 'switch to library' view to allow the skin to install. To install from scratch follow instructions in first post.
  17. Nothing like that exists as far as i know. You might be able to to do some kind of launch before script that updates the pinballx.ini file [internal] section to set the filter values (that hold information on your last selected system/ table) based on a selection - but i've not tried doing anything like that. Other option is to request it as a feature enhancement;
  18. You mean like under the Lists menu option that comes up when you select a table, but open that menu on pinballx startup?
  19. So VP button setup is how you set it up?, but the buttons don't function correctly in VP?.. Sorry, i'm a little confused! Can you post a screenshot of your 'correct' VP joystick setup as well as the pinballx log file and confirm if the VP joysick settings are changing after launch from pinballx. Thanks.
  20. Hmm... ok, set the buttons up in correctly in VP again. Recheck in pinballx settings.exe you don't have autoconfigure set for VP (it wasn't in the last ini file), then try again. Re-post the log and ini files again after, and confirm if VP buttons are all set to button 1 again or not.
  21. Can you post the visual pinball key/joy setup page screen shot? under preferences menu. Sounds like they just don't match pinballx setup Thanks.
  22. Not too sure what you mean... the joypad works only in VP or in PBX?, but not in both together? Screenshot of of your VP settings might help. In the last posted pinballx.ini file there wasn't an Exit Emulator button set, that'd be why you can't exit back to pinballx. Is that the only problem?, will need more info..
  23. A couple of things to try; Try changing the backgalss display number in Settings.exe Display Settings first, try the other options in the dropdown one at a time. The monitor numbers don't always match windows. If that doesn't work, still in display settings.exe you could try adjusting the the x & y relative positions to move the backglass that way, the values you use will depend on where the backglass is currently located, and your display positions as setup in windows. Set the monitor for the backghlass to match the backglass then adjust x & y. You might also want to turn off the auto position b2s option in display settings.
  24. Hi @Trantor Can you post new copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review? Thanks.
  25. Your pinballx.ini file looks corrupt to me, the [display] section is incomplete. Copy it off somewhere and then replace it with an old one (use one from earlier post in this thread if you don't have a backup). You'll then need to check everything looks ok in Settings.exe (pay special attention to [JoyCodes] as that section is different between last and current ini files as well as Other Systems, might be other difference too. Also re-check outhere's tips in 4th post https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/22166-backglass-images-not-showing-up/?do=findComment&comment=186321 after. Hope that helps..
