Attach your Pinball.ini, and log files, DO NOT COPY THE CONTENTS , attach the actual files.

There will be a release soon and a brand new documentation as well. Spoiler ??? Sorry

I have a 4k samsung tv if you want You need to pick it up in the Netherlands

Sorry. Its 4 am here There is an option to set window/fullscreen. You have it to full screen. Try setting it to window and resize the window. Clise pbx and set fullscreen again Also make sure that full screen windowed is set to yes. Btw. Tom mentioned about dpi. I recommend to set all screens to 100 dpi. If pf is 150 dpi, some backglasses and puppacks will not show correctly

If you set within settings.exe windows to yes? Are you able to resize the window? My cabinet is in maintso not able to check anything (And thanks to call me Mr )

No problem. About the save button, there is a save table button, that will do a save. Or ... what kind of save ro you miss? Save of xml is controlled in the settings. You can choose set autosave to yes, that will save all the changes. If you have autosave turned on, it will popup to save the table, if you have unsaved entries You can use 'table versions' to check all downloadable versions of a table

Hi and thanks for reaching out to us. So, if I understand, you setup a vpx system and added a vp9 table with am alternate exe to the vp9 executable ? DBM wiill see indeed a vp9 table as obsolete in a vpx system. Normally you would setup an extra system for vp9 tables, but if you have just 1 table, it doesnt make sense. Is your system on low specs that the vpx version doesnt run smoothly ? If i remember correctly, there are 2 versions of strike n spares for vpx. And 1 was indeed bas

Can't you set that to full screen by double click on the tittle bar of that window?

@scutters, you say everything is fine from media audit, but maybe I'm wrong, but isnt the missing media saying a lot of playfields and backglasses are missing ? Or am I mislooking ? I know I mixup a lot lately ....

Can you also post a screenshot of gamelist manager with at least 1 table that doesn't have playfield videos ? (I still prefer you check with databasemanager, as this program does some check, like @scutterssaid, on desktop or cabinet view)

Lol. Totally agree

What codecs did you install?

So no issues with sound card or other sound software Are you sure you have playfield and audio files that are corresponding to your table name or table description ?

Btw, thats not a problem, but a feature

Totally agree. But, thought it was to avoid issues with systems with a few tables/games

I hate to say it, but your right I think we had that discussion years ago and Tom convinced me that this count is correct

I dont think it is possible to show only the underlay when you have the system selected and to hide it in the system menu.

To my knowledge, the list is sorted on description and not on file name. And up to you, how you call it. Game list manager (and Databasemanager)will use the ipdb name as description name, but can be changed if you want (as you mention yourself) Thats why Databasemanager manager uses a "fuzzy' search for media matching. It will use filename and descrip(displayname) to do the ftp search. And if you cannot find it automatically, you can easily search on ftp and download it And TAF is called "the addams family ". So it needs "The" in frond and not at the end (even rom name is TAF and not AFT) see https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=20

What video codecs did you install ? (Where any codecs installed?) Otherwise it looks like a corrupted file (1 or more)

This looks like a naming issue, or caching (but you cleared temp out) What you can do for trying : move all the files in the media\《system》\wheel directory to another location. With Databasemanager, download or add some wheels. Launch pinballx. Check if the wheels that you added are now available

Can you add the files as attachment as well? Try to clear your %temp% folder as well (you got enough space left ?) If you launch database manager, do you see your media ?

Not following it completly (but must be my Denglish) If i read correctly, the cab is sold without the pc. So i asume(as Scutters said) that it is a new pc in the cab

As I said : did you follow the manual to setup pinballX ?
