Got you, thanks mike, let me start fiixing thos games without artwork. Thanks for the great work.

Thanks for trying to help, i did try file matching on and off and had the same result on both, i believe pbx uses that but not game manager. Also tried to use the database manager, but without an ftp acces is pretty much useless as i dont have the option to download the artwork. Unless i misiing something so i will double check.

Wll, i just tried twice, with a fresh install, and can confirm that the game manager downloads the wrong media for pfx3 with the regular xml that come with the install, i also tried diferent xml files and the problem persist. I dont have money to donate right now so i could have acces to the ftp, but i think i can come up with something later on today., and hopefully that would make things easyer.

So i uninstalled pinballx and saved all of my previewpbx folder as bkp, to be honest i dont mind doing all from scratch again and again, so i installed pbx again, so i can use the databases that come from the installer, im using the game manager to see what it does on both, pfx and pfx3, to see if is really a bug. Ill report back later.

Perhaps is a bug that need to get fixed?

Ok i found a way to make this work , since pfx2 and pfx3 share alot of game names, (mine does) i just used the fx2 xml and renamed to fx3 , i copied all of the media from fx2 to fx3 and now all the wrong media games are good, and when choosing a game pbx takes me to the game as it should. I still cant download any media for the universal fx3 games, (bttf,et,jurasic park). So is just a workaruond, hope ill find hot to get the rest of the games art correctly downloaded, ill atach the new fx3 xml. Pinball FX3.xml

this is an example of the artwork im getting

Sorry if i get all confused when trying to explain as well. Let me start over, I do have a problem with the artwork,When downloading the artwork withing pinballx game manager, i get lots of wrong artwork, marvel and startwars, they all get the same artwork. If in game manager, i rename for example, MARVEL_Guardians to just Guardians, i download the correct artwork for each game, but, when i open pinballx and i choose a game, pinballfx3 takes me to the main menu instead of the game (yes i have cabinet mode unlocked) . So (going back to the wrong artwork) if i choose a game when i have the wrong artwork, the game just loads fine, directly, i got my set up as toms mentions.. Hope it makes sense. Pinball FX3.xml PinballX.ini

let me redo fx3 from scratch again an d ill report back. thanks guys for the ideas.

So ive search alot, and theres alot of information out there, new and old. So far if i just use PBX game manager with the names of the games as is, i get a bunch of repeated images on the starwar , marvel and footboll games. If i edit the names in the game manager, for example, removing the marvel, starwars and fotball part, i do get the correct artwork but, when i try to luanch the game, it takes me to the main menu instead, sometimes i even get redirected to pbx menu again, so at this point im here asking for some help. Thanks in advance. Edit: The problem with the games loading and quiting back to the main menu, was, not running pbx in admin mode. I still get some games that don load directly and WMS games i cant get the correct media nor can play them in full screen, but i guess thats just how the games are as every other system games loads full screen just fine.

i dont see any entry for the last game, im capable of adding ahk scripts to achieve, that, ill try and see if it works., thanks.

Hey thanks for the help, i was just busy, so i sorted out the less butons options for me, and end it up to just have 3 plus plunger on front and 2 on each side . the 3 are , 4 coin, 5 coin, (as some games only seem to work with 5 and some with 4) ,quit and plunger, the sides are to navigate tru gamelist or flippers in game mode, and to start the game or nudge in game mode. i m using the pc power button to start or shutdown the game. but tomorrow i will post the log to see ahy its not using the shutdown function.. I was just wondering, its there a way to make pinballx start on a certain game everytime the pc is turned on? One famous soccer player decided he wanted mi pinball, and i moded a game for him, i would like inballx to start on that game everytime the cab its turned on, thanks for any help.

Actually i want les buttons not more,. one thing i notice, "launch" and "select/start" in pbx pretty much do the same. Also iam having problems with the shutdown function not working, if i want to quit pbx (since im on a cabinet i dont have an use to just exit pbx) i choose "shutdown option" but that just exits pbx and never turns the pc off.

So i wanted to show you guys my first cab, a 32inch playfield with 19 inch backglass. i5 potato computer with 7gb ram and integrated intel grafics, so i guess i have not tested the real deal, but i does works nice and looks cool. I whoever having problem (and to be honest not real problems) with the buttons layout. You see, in the arcade world of mame and its many front ends, buttons layouts are easy to chose a game and to exit the emulator as wee as to exit the front end. you have 1 button to chose the game, and you can use the same button to start the game, then one button to exit the game emulator, and the same button can be used to exit the front end. Here at pinballx it seems we have 4 buttons, one to launch the game, then once in the pinmame/visualpinball enviroment of the game you can map the same button to start the game, so you use "Q" to exit the game, but once in pinballx ,i have to use "esc" to exit pinballx, i have mapped it to use q as well but if i do that, the shutdown option does not seem to work. so i wonder if it has to do with the buttons layout. Also some games start fine with "enter" but i have to use "1" in some games to start the game. So not a big deal, and i hope im not overcomplicating things, so i was just wondering if you guys can share your buttons layout. , thanks and have a great day.

I apologise upfront if this has been answered before, i was just trying to download hyperpin to build a virtual pinbal, and came across pinbalx,. What a great program, thanks. I just cant figure out as there is su much missinformation about it. How can i exit the game or table once im done playing it? if i press exit, i get the pinballfx2 menu insead of getting out, also there are no options in the settings for that. Thanks for any help.

i was wondering if someone knows how to remove instant sheller to make windows boot, i know i can do the alt, tab, Del, thing, but the problem is , that the PC wont boot at all, i get stuck a the boot screen and if a press a button the PC restarts, pretty much like if in the background i had a message that says press any key to reboot. Anyone had this problem ? thanks for any help.
