My pincab is on my attic (also my work room). I have coin chutes setup on almost every vp table I have. Why ? Not for commercial use. My grandkids love to use the coins and the validators in it. I have a bag of 50 cents and euro coins and they can play with it. But it also have a coin button ( what is barrely used) So I understand that people wants to setup the games for 1 coin is 1 credit

If you click on the select button on a table, do you see the menu option "Menú Principal" ?

For FP I don't know how, but VPX is different. Older (mostly gottlieb to 1978) uses dipswitches to change the coin chute behavior. I submitted some adjustment for tables and those can pulled yp by pressing F6. The easiest ones are the newer roms. Press mostly the open coin door button and select menu and navigate through it. You can set the ammount of credits what a token will costa and set the token value. The difficult ones are the alfanumeric tables. These doesn't have dipswitches, but you need to use the manual to set it. There are some VPforum threads about it. I try to set all tables to, 1 coin = 1 game for my left coin chute (50 euro cent validator) and 1 coin = 2 games for right coin chute (1 euro validator) I've made some documentation for myself how to set some roms to this

Can you post your pinballx ini file and your log file as attachment. I only know the English and Dutch menu options ...

Huh ? You say that visual pinball is showed on your backglass, but when it loads, it shows fine on the playfield ? If so, launch vpx and move the editor to the playfield and close it. Next time, it launches there as well.

Ok. Sorry. Not sure how your code is working

same behavior

I tried 5.10 this morning (you are so quick with updates !), but same result. The media is playing when table is launched and not detected vpinmame. Quiting the table, I see the video still plays, the playfield and backglass becomes black (video still playing), but when returning to front and backglass and playfield is show, it clears the DMD and nothing is displayed anymore. log.txtXDMDlog.txt (just curious, whats the log entry "Visual Pinball Player window foreground: 60" means ?) EDIT : Same behavior with version 5.11 log.txt

Lol. Must be my Denglish. When I launch a non vpinmame table, the media is loading during game play, but exiting the table will NOT show anything anymore on the dmd in the frontend.

Think you almost there Tom ! Launching a non vpinmame table, shows indeed after 1 minute the media for that table. Exiting to to PBX, makes it blank again. launching a vpinmame table after that, shows the rom on the real DMD and when exit this table, shows the DMD media it in the front end again Enabling 'use pinmame in the front end', doesn't show any rom in the front end and for launching tables same behaviour as above Hope this make sense to you XDMDlog.txtlog.txt

Hi Derek, What is your installpath of PBX ? It should not be installed in tne program files folder of Windows. Can you post your pinballx.ini and the files in the log directory as attachments?

Can you create a video of it what is happening ? Also, you mention multiple people has this issue, can you give an url to those issues? And did this happen from v 5.05 and you didnt have it with the bersion before ?

I'm on Windows 10 pro 20H2 and using the 64 bit of PinballX as well. Workign like a charm for me (I understand that it should work as well on W7, but if you are able to do a quick install, give it a shot on W10)

Maybe a stupid question : why not upgrading to w10 ? W7 is out of support by Microsoft, but the upgrade is still free.

Not sure if it is a good idea or not, but can we have in the menu, entries where we can launch applications ? For example : I use PinemHi leaderboard. This runs in the background, but to start a challenge, a key press (or joy press) is needed. also to check highscores or start the weekly challenge. If I could add entries in the menu that would start a program, I could do a key send as well Why not assigning the keys to the joy ? I run completely out of buttons ! And think this will help me (and others ?) with the same issue Forget it. I think I need something like this

New release : 21.04.26.0 Only bugfixes (yes we make mistakes too, but we fix them !) update to latest version, to avoid any issues

We are getting all old Tom. I shall wait a bit longer for the new DMD feature. Maybe I was too impatient EDIT: I see the following in the log file But nothing on my realDMD displayed EDIT2: When exiting a table after the above message appears, I don't see anythign in the frontend anymore on my DMD XDMD tries to initialize, but didn't work. And pindmdlog spits out a lot of errors I hope the logs helps you pinDMD_log.txtXDMDlog.txtlog.txt

I had that once as well ( thats why i mentioned the pac as well) I use DOFlinx for background and didn't update it since last FX3 update, so I have black background as well Glad it is (quickly) solved

Do you have the Steam cabinet code set up in FX 3 ? Without setting this up, you will not able to launch FX3 directly to a table Pinball FX3 Cabinet Mode FAQ – Zen Studios Misread your question. I will check mine now .... Mine is still working. Maybe try to reactivate your PAC within FX3. EDIT : Should the parameter -table between double quotes ? I use Joyriders launch script, and that paramter needs double quotes :

Good morning buddy. You where busy yesterday ! I Installed latest version on the cab, Real DMD is showing. Launches a table with pinmame. Pinmame is showing. Pause table, I go to PBX screen and real DMD is showing pinmame (but in pause state) Continue with table and pinmame still showing score Exit table PBX is showing my MP4 Launches a table with pinmame again. Pinmame is showing. Pause table I go to PBX screen and real DMD is showing pinmame (but in pause state) Click exit table from PBX menu VPX is closing and PBX is showing mp4 on real DMD Enabling pinmame in frontend : No PinMame in front end (just black) Nothing in log file about it. Switching to non table in frontend shows video, but table doesn't show anything When launching a non Pinmame table, the realDMD stays black (nothing on it atatched 2 log files: one in attract mode where Pinmame is enable din front end and nothign is show (log_pinmame_enabled in frontend.txt) other is launcheing a non pinmame table where nothing is shown on the real DMD (log_tablelaunch_no_pinmame.txt) I hope it make sense to you log_tablelaunch_no_pinmame.txt log_tablelaunch_no_pinmame.txt

And there is no other button flashing as well ? I had the same strange behavior, when one of my switches (coin dip switch) was activated and stuck. In your log, you have 3 joysticks attached. Is that the pop n music controller?

I saw you uploaded new version(s) Will do some tests tomorrow morning.

I can test I have a real dmd. Its a pindmdv3.

For FX3 all the media is on the normal place and can be downloaded via gamemanger./database manager : Even Volume 6 is there Not sure if you like it, but I uploaded (in the past) all the flying tables in 4K and for (real) DMD , I created the videos (1 loop) . Not for volume 6, as Freezy doesn't work All to be downloaded from both the media managers And with Database manager, you can select which media you want to download . Just set your prefer4ence in the settings tab: and if you uncheck "Overwrite existing media", it will only download the missing media for a table or for bulk FTP

Not sure, but thought I added flying videos to the ftp as well for fx3 (dont have fx2). Check Databasemanager for the ftp download, make it so easy. If wheels are missing, I can upload them tomorrow
