Uploaded new version and these are the release notes Version 4.0.0 -HD DMD Video Creation: Added support for generating high-definition videos for real DMDs (256x64 pixels) -Enhanced Performance: Completely re-coded the application for smoother and more efficient output. Utilizes the NuGet package Magick.NET for improved image handling. -New Name: Renamed the program to DMDVideoMaker to better reflect its functionality. Still fully functional for creating topper videos, but outputs that are DMD-like. If you have a 256x64 display, it is worthwhile to check the HD box: This will up/downscale the video to 256x64 pixels which results in a smoother . for example :

@Tom Speirs, according to the log, ffmpeg is capturing ddagrab=0, but monitor 0 is his backglass, should it not be ddagrab=2 (as monitor 2 is the playfield?)

it's the PinballX log.txt.

Logs during the recording please

Can you post your dmddevice.log from your visual pinball directory (that should tell youbwhy the dmd isn't working in vpx when you launch from pinballxX), and from the pinballx directory ?

Ok, so you want support on pbx 2.27 ? When Tom released version 6.38 this week ? (That's more than 400 versions later !) I'm not sure Christian if support still is going to happen on the version you are using There must be something changed to your cabinet that PinballX (in your case, gamemanager) changes behaviour. The version you use is properly 5 years old. If you do t want to update to latest version, you can download your pinballx version again, run the setup and hope your issue dissappear

According to your log, you didn't launch a table, but the real DMD is initialized. I'm not able tocheck my cabinet with the zedmd @Tom Speirsany ideas?

How about using the zedmd through xdmd and not via dmddevice.dll? Will that work for you ? Tom added zedmd drivers to xdmd and works pretty well (except if you use zedmd wifi, which need dmddevice.dll) Can you also post your xdmd.log as well for Tom?

You should not use 10.8.1, as this is a test version for non windows device. There are no tests done for Windows with that. I also noticed that vpinmame closes after 10 seconds. With this release

PinballX releases are coming out quicker now that the table's exit does 😜 (just kidding)

Do you have dmddevice.dll (or dmddevice64.dll ) in your pinballx directory ? I think thats causing it. Also that it is still finding a 'real' dmd according your log

Think those links can't be shared. Just check the documentation. I think I explained it correctly how to download an older version. Sorry that I can't point you with a limited k

PinballX comes with a pdf. Its explained precisely how to go back to a previous version (maybe explained in Denglish 😛 ) but here's the link as well : https://forums.gameex.com/forums/files/file/527-pinballx/?do=download&version=1224&csrfKey=6ac5bd70cd6fb7cc5269dca2458c8d3f

Did you have issues with vpx 10.8 or just with 10.7 ?

Give this a try :

Yeah, i noticed the same. A 'long' delay when pressing e it (screen gets blacl) and ofter 7 seconds pinballx is showing. I think this is a seperated issue as the hang part of wrd1972. Best is to update your post and gets Tom attention

I didn't notice any difference between DX and GL. I think it's more to create a better 3d experience, used by VR, 3d anaglyphic, head tarcking, but also for non windows machines (as they won't dupport DX9). I installed RC6, as well and experience the same issue. it just hangs after the message "VPX Full screen exclusive focus hack set". Turning this off resulsts now in the same issue @wrd1972 Can you do a test for me ? Rename in the PinballX folder the file PINemHi.exe to PINemHi.exe_ and redo your test (with DX or GL, but I only checked DX). For me itresulted that I could launch, play and close tables and return to PinballX agan (even with "Full screen exclusive focus hack" enabled)

You known that you use a release between rc3 and rc4 ? Rc5 is version 2015 and latest is 2035 ? So with 1995 you are running a bit behind. Maybe we should share our pinballx settings and our visual pinball settings, to check if we find differrences. But best is when 10.8 has been official released with the latest pinmame en directb2s.

As most new tables need 10.8 and that still in RC phase. In development for more than 2 years now, but Toxie want to release a final version of 10.8 around Christmas. Btw.Since I turned off the fullscreen hack al is working fine for me And if you don't have issues with pbx 6.12 and lower, use an older version of PBX .

@tomimpakt Don't forget that Database Manager can help you as well: See 2nd part of this article https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/23840-app-pinballx-database-manager-2410110-supports-touch-play-as-well/page/7/#comment-201644

Please post your log and settings file, please

Looks like more differrent issues. For me pinballx is in a hung state after it loads the table and my vpx is set to full screen exclusive mode. Odd thing is, that DX and GL are working fine on my test pc with pinballx Maybe we should wait,as @Draco1962mentioned earlier, until vpx 10.8 will be official released and gather all the issues we find

I began reorganizing my cabinet and wanted to implement standardized system underlays. In doing so, I decided to completely redesign the honeycomb structure shown in the attached image. Starting from scratch, I meticulously rebuilt every detail, and now it's presented in stunning 4K resolution. I hope the clarity and precision of this new design inspire you here you can download them :
