We have a helpful guide. It explains everything in detail. However, some may find the length overwhelming. https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/21921-pinball-wicked-working-in-my-cabinet/ @Draco1962, should this be moved to the faq section and add [guide] or something ?

Version 25.03.17 is just released The previous version was a major release that included a media recorder capable of recording every emulator we tested. This version does not feature significant changes, but we have added some minor new features and fixed several bugs. Firstly, we made a small change to the new version dialog: When a new version is released, we have endeavored to maintain the formatting as it appears on the website: If you use DBM in your own language, it will be translated accordingly. Secondly, we created our own 'tri-state' checkbox and replaced the 'New/Obsolete' and 'Disabled/Enabled' options with this tri-state checkbox. Why? We needed room to add a favorites checkbox as well. Thanks to @robertms for his request. @Wahreez McDermott reported an error See trouble trying to acknowledge new version of a table this has been fixed as well Another addition is the version of VPX in which the table is created with: This will be added automatically when adding a VPX, or when pressing the 'table info', which populates all the tables and imports the data. Some minor issues were fixed, and we implemented a few other minor changes as well. Please refer to the release information on the download page. A big thanks to @scutters for getting this release out, adding new features, and fixing some bugs. Additionally, thanks to @robertms for requesting a feature and @Wahreez McDermott for reporting an error.

This is fixed in release 25.03.17

You must be right. I just use the original startup sounds, and that's still working for me. I hope @slydog43can give more info

I tested, and I have launch sounds with the latest Version 6.58. The only thing I noticed @Tom Speirs is that when playing a table and exiting, it will not play the table sound at that moment. If I switch to another table, it works. To be honest, I never noticed this before, so maybe it has been this way for a longer time.

Yeah, with Steam sales, I mostly add the DLCs from those games to my collection. But I never actually play them; they're just there to have ! 🤣

Why bothering about steam games if you can install VPX and FP for free with a lot of free tables ?. I have fx3, fx, m bought from ZEN studio. I alsohave zaccaria, malzbies. pinball arcade, and pinball Wickedbought. But I hardly play those games. Mostly I play Visual Pinball. I don't think a lot of steam games are cabinet with backglass

We appreciate you reporting this issue. Please provide your complete DatabaseManager log file and the config file as attachments. Additionally, please provide your Windows language and locale settings to facilitate accurate reproduction and resolution of the reported issue.

Yes, that's the expected behaviour. I believe we included it in the documentation as well. Thank you for your kind words; I, and possibly Scutters, truly appreciate them. It was quite challenging to obtain a properly functioning recording across all our systems. Edit : I reviewed the documentation and confirmed that we have included it. Please see below.

@Tom Speirsis this something you can check/ fix for this account?

Version 25.0219 is just released Minor update of the program including a bug fix and a small internal adjustment: Fixed a bug where loading videos showed as 'not found' (red hour glass) in the interface even if a video was present. Set timeout to close 'emulator' after recording video to 15 sec This timeout will wait for 15 seconds to gracefully close the emulator process. After this timeout, the process will be forcibly terminated. Thanks to @robertms for reporting a bug in the latest release. Thanks to @scutters or making these adjustments quickly.

The log file does not indicate multiple PinballX instances. You report that multiple instances launch on boot; is this an automated PinballX launch process? Try : Open Run dialog box Press `Windows key + R` to open the Run dialog box. Type `shell:startup`: In the Run dialog box and press Enter. The Startup folder will open in File Explorer. Here you can see the shortcuts to programs that will start with Windows. Check if you see multiple PinballX shortcuts

Did this occur only after updating to the latest version, or did you recently reinstall your computer and restore PinballX from a backup?

Version 25.02.12.0 has just been released, and it’s packed with an incredible new feature that will knock your socks off! But before we dive into the details, we have a special announcement: This release marks our 5th anniversary! The first program was released around 5 years ago , and what a journey it has been. Now, back to the exciting news! It's probably the first program for all of you pinball lovers of its kind that can record everything! After 5 months of extensive developing and coding (and a few late-night caffeine-fueled coding sessions), we’re excited to introduce the DBM Media Recorder. This little gem can capture both images and videos for every game we threw at it, and it worked like a charm. But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. The first two attempts were not working correctly, and we had to go back to the drawing board. Thankfully, @scutterscame to the rescue! With his magic touch and the mediarecorderlib nuget package, he managed to record everything we tested. Let me break it down for you: Main options: Record images in PNG format and videos in MP4. Record videos across multiple screens via parallel recording. Yes, you heard it right! One record for Playfield, Backglass, DMD, and Topper. Cool Features: Need a moment before the magic starts? Pause the countdown with the Pause/Break key and resume whenever you're ready. You could make some minor adjustments before recording your media Can’t wait for the countdown to end? Smash the 'R' key, and the recording will kick off instantly, skipping the countdown (even if it's in Pause/Break mode). Automatic rotation isn't correct ? Set it manually so your rotation is always correct displayed withing PinballX Can record audio with playfield videos (using default system audio device) Quality: Choose your smoothness: Videos can be recorded at either 30 or 60 FPS. You can also change the video quality settings, the So, there you have it, folks! Go ahead and update to the latest version, and let the Media Recorder bring a new level of awesomeness to your pinball adventures. Feel free to share your recordings and let us know what you think! And how to enable this new feature ? Got to settings : Click on the tab Media recording : And click the checkbox to use DBM recording instead of PinballX recording : Discover all the features that can be set (also check our updated manual for the settings) As always, this release wouldn't be what it is without @scutters. Thanks for all of your help and patience with me! It was a bumpy road, but you made my square wheels round again! All the credits goes to you for this release Thanks to @wrd1972 and @robertms for doing testing and give us some extra ideas to implement in this release

Updated to version 4.1.0 Add faststart to output file (thanks to @scutters for his input)
