Too bad, not possible at this time to have groups in the 'system' list and assign a wheel and over-/underlay to it. I would love to see amore flexible menu structure where we can create more sub menu's as well, or make own queries, which could contain wheels and other media as well. For now, you can group them

As @scutters mentioned, option 1 can be achieved by a group that contains multiple emulators. That will appear in the "Lists." For option 2, do you want to have a system called 'Zen Studios,' which contains Fx3, FX, and M as emulators? So it just launches the emulator, and you can choose the table from there? That's possible as well, but you can also add them to a group and combine the three systems. Then, you will have all the direct launches to the tables. So not sure what you exactly want to achieve in option 2

If you are employed in a data center and primarily use a keyboard, you will likely develop a high level of proficiency with it. Although I have not worked in a data center for fifteen years, these skills tend to persist.😅

Version 24.08.02.0 has been released. Minor updates for end users, but significant updates for ourselves. We updated some NuGet packages to be compatible with the latest version. This caused many of the MEGA URLs we used to stop working. Our investigation revealed that we needed to treat the URLs differently and parse them again. It is possible that an old format URL may not work in the future due to changes in the MEGAAPI. If DBM detects an old format URL, it will display the following text in the action log: By following these steps, the warning will no longer be displayed, and you can be assured it will work in the future. We have also introduced a significant new feature: the right-click option in the 'Tables' list on the main form. While it's not a feature used daily, it will be a lifesaver during the restructuring of your PinballX systems. Consider my PinballX system as an example. I have over 1000 tables, and searching feels like a crime! I've set up filters within PinballX, but the list has become too long to display because of the numerous filters. My idea is to set up new systems (since we can configure about 60 systems within PBX). Essentially, I want to transform the filters into systems. The first step is to create a new system in settings.exe, which is a duplicate of your normal PinballX settings, with the same paths, parameters, etc. This is my normal PinballX system : to create a system for tables that JPSalas created I make the following system : and another for VPW team Here's a brief video I made on my development PC. I don't have all the media added to the tables, but you can see how it simplifies the process of transferring tables to another system. In addition to copying or moving a table, you can easily toggle the "Hide DMD/Backglass/Topper during game" checkboxes with a single click. This is similar to the 'Tables enabled in front end' checkbox. Lastly, we have the delete option, which will explain itself. Note: When moving tables to a different system, the statistics entry for the table will be updated to the new system, preserving your favorite settings, times played, etc. However, when copying the table, this data will remain unchanged and will be linked to the current system. Deleting the tables from the old system will sever the link to the statistics. A big thank you to @scutters for bringing this release to completion as always.

I made the following yesterday : maybe it helps when pinballx is crashing again to restore your mouse back, with just keyboard presses

Purely for customer satisfaction. This is an aspect that I find lacking in most companies that I reach out to for service-related matters.

If PinballX crashes and you lose your mouse pointer, the best approach is to attempt relaunching PinballX and then close it properly. To accomplish this using only your keyboard, proceed with the following three steps. Step 1: Open search bar Press the Windows Key Step 2: Launch PinballX Type 'PinballX' (without the quotes) and press enter Step 3: Close PinballX Press ALT-F4 to close PinballX sucessfully If PinballX is still crashing, or your mouse pointer does not appear after PinballX has closed successfully, the next steps will guide you on how to restore your mouse pointer using only the keyboard. Step 1: Open Settings Press Windows Key + I to open the Settings menu. Step 2: Navigate to Devices Use the Tab key to move through the options until “Devices” is highlighted (bluetooth and devices in Windows 11). Press Enter to select it. Step 3: Go to Mouse Settings Use the Tab key again to navigate through the options on the left side until “Mouse” is highlighted. Press Enter to open the Mouse settings. Step 4: Change the Mouse Pointer Use the Tab key to navigate to “Additional mouse options” and press Enter. In the Mouse Properties window, use the Tab key to navigate to the “Pointers” tab. Press Enter to select it. Use the Tab key to navigate to the “Scheme” dropdown menu, and use the Arrow keys to select a different pointer scheme. Press Enter to apply the changes. Step 5: Apply and Save Use the Tab key to navigate to the “Apply” button and press Enter. Then, navigate to the “OK” button and press Enter to close the window.

how about his previous issue As I have a real DMD, I don't have a clue, but do@scuttersor @Draco1962 has an idea ?

Check this post as well: my assumption is that it has to tne exclusive full svreen mode with gl and the full screen hack of PBX

When PinballX crashes and the mouse button dissapears, can't you just launchbpinballx again and closecit directly to get the mouse back ? Thats a workaround I use for years (w10 and w11) I just hit the windows button on my keyboard, type pinballx and launch it. No mouse needed at that time. Maybe not the best soluttion, but works for me

Which unresolved issues still require attention?

08:26:36.76 7/31/2024: Unhiding Mouse Cursor According to your log, pinballx is starting and closing and your cursor was set to back 'unhide'. Did your taskbar appear after closing pinballx ? I can't see a reason why your mouse would not appear

As tom said : pinballx will make your mpuse hidden during run of the program as a game frontend doesn't show nice with a mouse. Pointer (the mouse image is chsnged). Removing pinballx will not help as your windows os is set to this now Use a remote session from another pc to see the mouse and restore the mouse. You can do it as I already mention it, or by changing the mouse pointer within Windows itself

If I read it correctly, the mouse pointer disappeared when running PBX. As Tom said, this could be caused by a crash of PBX. If you changed the setting for hidding mouse after PBX was crashed to not hidecit anymore, the mouse pointer will not come back. Change this setting again to hide mouse pointer, start and close PBX directly to let PBX restore your mouse pointer on exit. When PBX is crashing again, please attach the files that are needed for investigation

I've just added this to your original post. It's not a button that can be assigned, but there are three ways to add videos for instructions. I had a lot of instruction videos on my hard drive that I wanted to upload to FTP (one of the many things on my to-do list), but I just realized that my PC is fixed by the vendor and the put a new image on it, I backed up the wrong drive my self, so my Downloads folder is gone along with all the videos I downloaded. I will re-download them and, as Scutters mentioned, I'll put them on FTP in the near future.

Assigning a button is indeed a feature request. Instruction cards are only for files with the extension : .PNG .JPG, .SWF The preferred method, as detailed in the PinballX documentation under paragraph 5.2.2 'Media Directory', is to place your rules video in the 'Gameplay Videos', 'Promo Videos', or 'Tutorial Videos' folder. It will be displayed when you press the game's start button, so instead of launching the game, you watch the video. During gameplay, you can press the "Pause/In Game" key or button to pause the game, which will display the menu and allow you to play the video.

As you are a new member and properly are a new PinbalX user, please read the included pinballX documentation that is shipped with pinballx.,

Congratulations to @Tom Speirs on the 100,000th download of PinballX! We appreciate your continued dedication to updating and improving this remarkable front end over the years. thanks !

Did you setup and put the files for X360CE correctly ? you need for FX3 de 32 bit and version 3.2 (not 4.x !!) the xinput1_3.dll from X360Ce needs in the same folder as Pinball FX3.exe with a good configured x360ce.in You can use the 2 files from your Pinball Wicked/Zacaria Pinball/ Pinball Arcade or any other Steam pinball app. This must really work 100% So my suggestion : remove the 'standalone' version of FX3. Download from steam, dont change any steam settings. Put the 2 files I mentioned from x360ce in the fx3 folder, launch fx3. Enter your personal cabinet key to fx3, and play. Still not working ? Contact your reseller that your controller is not functioning correctly and you need support

It seems like there's a problem with the controller. It's not working properly, neither directly nor through Steam. I suggest you reach out to the retailer or reseller for help. Why did it work for a while with Steam as a non-Steam app? I don't know. I know how to use Steam as a user and how to launch games.

Looks like you missed the parameters stay in ram.So the following line as parameter: Can you try , and if it is not working can you add the new log file ?

Not sure if this is a real PinbalLX issue as I cannot reproduce it myself, but I put it on the buglist

According to your log, your FX3 is not a legitimate FX3 install, but a piracy one. This approach is completely incorrect. Zen FX3 is a game available on Steam, and the only way to obtain the correct version of FX3 is to download it from Steam and utilize all its components. Adding a pirated version as non-Steam makes no sense—why would you launch it through Steam if you don't want to use Steam? Here's a video how to install the legend FX3. Including all After downloading it from Steam, you can use Joyrider's Fx3 launcher to select multiple game types as well. See the setup. https://github.com/joyrider3774/PinballX_Launcher_app If you continue to experience issues with your controller, please contact the retailer where you purchased it.
