I'm mostly into pinball, but because I saw Tom's News bulletin '[NEWS] X Arcade GameEx Arcade build'. I wanted to give my arcade cabinet a try again. Just wanted to download GameEx Arcade, but the download section contains 2 files. 1 with an exe of 9 sept and the other from the 5th of July Should 1 be deleted ?

You need enough buttons in your cab to seperate both buttons. Thats sometimes an issue

Yes, you can set that. Not sure what the question is, but launch settings.exe from your pinballx installation folder Go to the joysticks mappings Set the 'select/start' for menu entries and 'launch ' for direct table launch

This is an emergency release for fixing FTP upload. As mentioned in the following news bulletin, the access to the GameEx FTP must be done with your email address instead of your GameEx username (everybody knows, because we all read it ... ) As Databasemanager used the login name to upload files to FTP with your username, the upload wasn't available. Thanks to @Tom Speirs who created quickly an API for us, we now have the FTP upload back. Just fill in your emailaddress and password in the settings and click on 'Check FTP' When your username is returned correctly (and check the 'Enable FTP Upload' setting), you are able to upload your media to FTP and share it with the rest of the community With this release, we added 2 extra small features that I really like. Thanks @scuttersfor taking care of this ! Action Log expendable Just double click in the action log area will show an extra window with all the log entries File name with correct naming extension will extract manufacturer and year if no IPDB entry is found Most of the Pinball table creators, uses a naming convention with '<Table name> (<Manufacturer> <yyyy>)' where yyyy is year released. If Databasemanager cannot find an (fuzzy) hit on the file name against the IPDB/Dux Retro spreadsheet, we normally leave the fields 'Manufacturer' and 'Year' blank. In this release we automaticly add this. See this example (I used Scutters Pinemhi plugin for the weekly challenges and need a table setup): In my folder where my VPX table exists, I created a 'Table' "Weekly Challenge(DNA Disturber 2021).VPX" (this is just a dummy file) Within DatabaseManager, I click on 'Add Table' button, that will show by default all my tables that are not added yet : I select the table I want to add and click the 'Select' button The manufacturer and year field are now added automatically Just 2 small things, but makes it so easy. Again, thanks @scuttersfor helping on this release Check also this thread for the PinemHi table launcher plugin:

Not sure if it is because of the theme or an update in the browser. When an update is received, the message box is there, but the links to click on it, are almost off screen. On mobile devices (my phone and tablet), it is showed still correctly

No problem. We are trying to make everybody happy. Hope you enjoy it

Not sure what you did in your folder, but PinballX is not launching at all . Also you have a old version (00:42:16.01 9/7/2021: PinballX - Version 4.13). Download latest version of PinballX, install it in the same folder, rerun pinballx.exe and post your log again

Are you saying that pinballx.exe is removed from your pinballx installation folder ? If so, try to install the latest version of pinballx. If it is still gone, check your antivirus software.

Just confirmed (without typos), that I can logon with my email address ! thanks Tom ! (now I need to find another way for uploading file from Database manager to FTP with the username in it )

Sorry, didnt see the post Tom -shame- I tested with my email as well before creating this post, and didnt work. But must be a typo. Will re check it. And sorry again Tom. You should know that techs doesnt read much

Thanks @scuttersfor checking ! I thought it was just me

I see the FTP server is up and running, but logging in to it (with user ID or email address give me a 530 (userID and PW incorrect) I'm 100% sure that this userID and PW are correct (as I use the same credentials for logging into this site) Is this caused by the theme changed this week , or something else going on with my account ?

Just wanted to say thanks to the GameEX team that upgraded the forum with the 'rain for IPB' theme I already like it. Maybe because orange is the national color of the Netherlands Good job guys !

Maybe it is not a correct answer you looking for, but if you become a paid member, you will not only support the costs of the hardware, software, dns entry etc, but also can download unlimited from ftp and website.

I'm glad we don't have those in the NL

Maybe I should not say this, but try Databasemanager (see download section). It has the option you want, and some extra features as well

Just a small update for my goDMD clock. I ordered from goDMD the original plexi case and the electronics. From Ali I bought the display panels. Its a bit larger than my older clock Updated the firmware with an SMT32link (as the firmware doesn't support colored animations correctly) I now ca show the temperature and humanity as well and colored animations. I'm creating my own colored scenes from colorized roms. It is very time consuming, but I like the result. Here's an example (just the first one that shown on my clock) These are the pinball tables I already captured Austin Powers Creatures from the black lagoon Circus Voltaire Bram Stokers Dracula Fish Tales Gilligan's Island Guns and Roses ACDC Attack From Mars Apollo13 Checkpoint Congo Demolition Man Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends Tales of the Arabian Nights The Simpsons Pinball Party The Adams Family Jurassic Park South park Theatre of Magic Monster Bash It's 1000+ scenes right now I created, but still on going to create them If someone wants to have the scene's as well, just drop a PM to me My first clock is for sale as well. It is not cheap, but send me a PM if you want it. This clock will be shipped with 2 different boards (both with a valid goDMD license) The boards have a different firmware, as the old firmware doesn't support the colored roms and the new one doesn't show the old animations correctly

Small bugfix update for MEGA downloads (what was really annoying). Issue : When using MEGA links for getting media (see below thread for some useful MEGA links), it happen to me that when I used MEGA links, and after a couple of minutes I used it again, the program gives a crash message. When switching from media type that was not used yet, and trying to use the MEGA it could give the following message in the action log (and you need to retry it) With this version of Database manager, we tried to avoid the issues. The code is updated with the latest MEGA API version (1.9.0 see NuGet Gallery | MegaApiClient 1.9.0 ) But this didn't fixed our issue. So with a lot of effort from @scutters and myself, we finally made it work. So if you are using MEGA links within Databasemanager , you definitely wants to update to this version Of course a big thanks to @scutters for all his effort, ideas and mental support for this program If you want to know more about MEGA links check the below thread and also check our manual section "MEGA Folders tab" (is there a manual, yes there is ! There is a shortcut in your Windows start menu in the folder 'PinballX Database Manager' and the PDF is in your install directory )

I think he mouse hiden is not added in the latest version, but was there fo a while. But why you need a mouse in the front end ? The frontend is for your pinball experience and you dont want mouse pointers etc as well Close pinballx if you want to do maintenance on your cabinet. Or use rdp or other program to remote into your cabinet. Another suggestion will be to add a feature request. But I nevere use a mouse when the frontend is loaded

Thanks !

that did "The" trick I tried a lot to get it to work, but not the capital T Thanks mate ! Not sure if you saw my question before :

I can't beat you with pinball, so most do it with replies

I have 3 tables that I'm not able to launch from command line, but able to launch via menu : Shooting the Rapids Shooting the Rapids 2016 Shooting the Rapids Retro Should I use another table name ? Anyone else with same issue?

Scutters and I know how Databasemanager is working and it will not fuck up your setup. But not sure what you mean that it 'fucked it all up'. If you only have vpx and fx3, it is possible to randomize a table from all systems If you want to randomize only 2 only out of more systems, it will be hard and needs code adjustment

LOl, I updated everything with your new XML and launcher settings, but it didn't work. But noticed I didn't update Steam yet Working like a charm @joyrider3774 Can I do a request for you PinballXlauncher program ? If a key is pressed for navigation (So not launching), can the timer be reset ? Maybe it's because of me, but the menu is too big to navigate trough it (I also have it with FX3 ...) Maybe because I'm getting too old and not too quick anymore
