Nais ! Well. Think if you want to use the new version, you need to change all the backglass entries ..... Lol, No problem. Glad it is working

Sorry to hear ... Backglass server has some 'improvements' to move the screen to front or to back. PLay with that, or otherwise use the previous version. I have a real DMD , So not able to play with it, but my Alphanumeric is working fine if I put the back glass to back Good news is, that PinbalLX is working and you can play Iron man

I'm only able to use the classic one Yeah, I use X360CE. Last time I tried it (couple of months ago ) I had it working (with a lot of pain) I use the same config for Fx3 , Wicked, zaccaria and Pinball Arcade (only those uses the 32bit, and this needs the 64 bit) Not sure why it doesn't work at all, but I will figure it out. And I can finally check the performance of the table with my RTX3080

Did you also upgrade your directb2s server ? looks like the focus to the VPX table is gone from PBX Just to be sure we are still on the same page : Did you removed "Run as admin" from PinballX.exe and VPinballX.Exe ? Is your "Full screen exclusive hack"within PinballX to Yes ? And is your Visual PinballX checkbox "Force exclusive Full Screen Mode" checked ? Whats the setting for your Backglass media in your database file ? <hidebackglass> xxxx </hidebackglass>

Hmmm... i didnt see the full exclusive hack in your log file, so try that as well. And for me, no need to run anything anymore as admin. Maybe thats causing issues as well.

I gave it a try today/ My Epic game needed to be updated (i though 19GB. Not incremental, but full download) For people that doesn't want to buy the game, but wants to check the free daily games, I added the following to tour AHK file : GrpDailyFree := 1 tblDaily1 := [GrpDailyFree,0,1] tblDaily2 := [GrpDailyFree,1,1] Now from PinballX I can load tblDaily1 or tblDaily2 and it will launch the free table I had this in the past as well, But can't get my buttons to work in the game

Are you running vpx in exclusive mode ? Or run vpx as admin ? My escape button on keyboard is working like a charm, but have the full exclusive hack set in pbx and enabled in vp

Looks like my wife is using your account.... Creepy

You are still not using the latest version of pinballx Tom made some fixes in the latest version of pinballx for vpinmame

Update pinballx. You are running a version from at least 3 yearx ago. Lot of improvements where added After update, retry and if needed, repist log.txt and pinballx.ini

Can you post your pinballx.ini and log.txt ? Not a solution, but a workaround: try to install PinballX Databasemanager and check if this works

Nice one @joyrider3774 I have fx on my cabinet, but refuse to buy the tables, as the fx3 was almost 200 euros as well. But will use this, just for the free daily tables ! Good work

You also have autopositionb2s=true within your pinballx.ini. that means that pinballx will create your screenres.txt on table launch. If your screens are not setup correctly in pinballx, it will show on the wrong screen. Set x and y correct in settings.exe (or directly in ini file) to correct this, or set option to false and it will use your screenres.txt that you define yourself [BackGlass] monitor=0 x=0 y=0 width=1280 height=1024 AutoPositionB2S=True UseB2S=True

Not sure what you exactly mean with "visual pinball.exe remains in the foreground." Not sure, but thought that vpx 10.7.2 will do the minimized when the play option is used. It will also close vpinballx.exe when closing/ending a table. EDIT :just checked. Only the registry is changed to -Extminimized, so best to to do what @scutters mentioned. Add -minimized (or extminimized) to the parameters. I used Extminimized as -minimized didn't minimize all for me (1) : Check also the FullScreen Exclusive Hack (2). This option is related to the settings within VPX : Sorry, I didn't see the sub directory for the table in the screenshot yesterday (my screen on my telephone is not that big , or is it just that I need to wear my glasses ... ?) There is no need to have all the backglass files in each sub folder. The b2sBackglassserver can be in any directory somewhere, but make sure that Screenres.txt is in the folder where you have your .Directb2s File For me, I've set this up, and the P-toc, VPX and VP( folders contains the screenres.txt files. The Plugins folder contains links to PUP and DOF (but if you don't use them, you can skip them) But the b2s server files can also be in another folder (but this was VP's default path, so I left it like this) This should only work correctly, if the filename matches the folder name as well. I see you got for table 24 2 versions, so that means 2 different folders that should match the filename of the table. To my opinion that will be a lot of extra work And DBM doesn't handle sub folders for this . So no automatic detection if files are new or obsolete, no drag and drop new files and existing files, no inventory of the VP info etc. I hope this all make sense ...

So your table path should be set in settings.exe to C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\vpx. If you use DBM, the tables are properly markeed as obsolete as it expects a different folder.

In your log files, I don't see an attempt to launch a table. If you launch a table and ot isn't in the log, thats normally because the table file cannot be found or the exe file is not in the location Can you lauch a table via command prompt ? For example : C:\Visual Pinball\vpinballx.exe /play -"C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\24 (Stern 2009)" You can also download PinballX Databasemanager from the download section. Run this and thewill check if the tables files are actually having the correct names for your visual pinball system.

I've added the new version. And working like a charm. no issues found thus far. The form to back is working for me, and even shows correctly launching from PinballX Good job ! (well for Pole Position you introduced the bug , so good it is working again )

Nais. Intrested in that too, as a lot of vpinmame alphanumeric wont display correct on a real dmd.

I cannot promise anything. I'm running a bit behind with al the JPSalas updates, and @scuttershad a good idea for DBM as wel, which cost us a lot of time. i will put it on the cab and check if all working. What does this means ? Can a plugin be created that can read the LED digits ? I'm intrested how that will work. Will other lamps also be forwarded, so that the plugin can interpret this as well ?

I wasn't aware that anydesk had a free license as well.maybe that will work better than TV. I will give it a try

I switched over last year from a virtuapin controller (+ analog to digital tube) to a pinscape. The pinscape has a potentiometer as plunger and its much, much better.

Nice it is working for you Tim. A stuck button was my first option (coin switch). It causes headaches to me the forst I had it. Open windows joystick settings where you see the buttons, and properly one button is lighted constantly.

Release 2022.10.20.0 available. A feature request was to add a refresh button for the media : The benefit of this button is that you can delete a media file outside the program. With the refresh button, it will be showed as deleted (missing) as well. Same for importing. If you import manually a media file (that was showing red in the interface) by putting the file just in the corresponding folder, you can hit the refresh button to show in the interface as well. Hope this make sense We also repaired some bugs that were found after releasing the latest version Thanks to @pepeleches for having an issue that he didn't installed WMP on his system (and it was stated in the 'Prerequisite' in the download section ) and caused taht DBM was directly closed after launching. You will receive a message that WMP isn't found on the system As always, a big thanks to @scutters for helping on this release

I had this behaviour twice with 2 differrent root cause : 1) I have a coin dipswitch and that was after I dropped a coin hanging. Result that the swit h was giving a button press all the time and the wheel went crazy. Check in windows joystick configuration if you see a constant key press from another button. 2) I attached a Streamdeck device, that I use for extra buttons. It is some kind of keyboard that can be configured. But because my old pc had not enough usb ports, I connect the Streamdeck behind an USB hub. This caused the same issue. It could be your configuration, software or whatsoever. Logging and settings file looks good. Can you describe your settup ? Hardware and software ? Do you use tools like joytokey or something to map joystick to key mappings ? Or joy gremlin ?

You run around 110 versions behind of pinballx. Try to update to latest version
