  4. just like to mention that you can create 1 system linking to an exe and in your table database you can use alternateexe to add other programs if you like to keep them in one list. But that trick will only work if the exe's don't require any extra parameters and you just need to launch them edit: i also know of an other trick that might work where you use cmd.exe as your main exectuable and the exe files (including extention) as database entries and you give the tablename as parameter to cmd /c (did not look it up but think it was /c to run something) and it will launch the table (exe file) listed but you need to have all your exe's in same folder with both systems
  5. created some wheels also but i'm not too happy about them but it'll do
  6. i just tested it myselve, found and downloaded the 3 exe's and it worked fine exactly how i said it would. do you have an on old pinballx version installed perhaps ? This my setup: and this is the database i used : <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> <menu> <game name="Ice Cold Beer_mod3"> <description>Ice Cold Beer</description> <manufacturer>Taito</manufacturer> <year>1983</year> <type>Maze</type> </game> <game name="Ice Cold Rootbeer f3"> <description>Ice Cold Rootbeer</description> <manufacturer>Taito</manufacturer> <alternateexe>Ice Cold Rootbeer f3.exe<alternateexe/> <year>1983</year> <type>Maze</type> </game> <game name="Zeke's Peak"> <description>Zeke's Peak</description> <manufacturer>Taito</manufacturer> <alternateexe>Zeke's Peak.exe<alternateexe/> <year>1983</year> <type>Maze</type> </game> </menu> in case anyone wants to add this system themselves here is the link https://www.dropbox.com/sh/l2f4sa78f83lr9v/AACoC86f_CwnudzD0IrcigG9a?dl=0 have not checked if keys are reconfigurable if not autohotkey script can easily remap the keys. I will add it to my cabinet as well Recorded table video's (chrome lets you download them): Zeke's Peak.mp4 Ice Cold Rootbeer f3.mp4 Ice Cold Beer_mod3.mp4 Ice Cold Rootbeer f3.mp4 Zeke's Peak.mp4
  7. Yes like that. If you add that to visual pinball list you need to make sure the binaries are in same folder as vpx if you added new system for the 3 versions point it to one exe in the system settings and make sure the other version exe are in same location and use a database containing the 3 versions with 3 alternateexe set. There is a posibility alternateexe also only work for vpx systems not sure it works with custumn systems, i have never tried it but you can easily test it
  8. I'm saying the tag is alternateexe not exe in the xml and you need to specify file extension in your tagvalue like .exe at the end
  9. Isn't it alternateexe tag you need to use? Along with full filename of the exe si including extention? But it would only work if all the exe's are i same location as specified by the main system.
  10. there is a trick with vanilla freecammod to get the play button to focus. Just press left flliper once then right flipper. It will move your ball selection to the left and then to right but also make it possible to select the launch button. It is possible i use left & right button for flippers. Not sure which button i press (could be enter) to make it actually launch the game. Thats what i do. The only problem i had is with those info screens about the table that sometimes popup. I only use freecammod to launch the games and perhaps the camera stuff can't remember but i had disabled the cabinet mode because the dmd part does not work but that's off topic. I have not started my pinball cabinet in a long time so can't check
  11. your missing the -Verb runAs part. it will run with elevated rights if needed in pcteknic version hence powershell you can not do that with normal batch commands as far as i'm aware. if you got UAC prompting disabled it will not display it and execute the command under admin priveledges (like right clicking run as admin)
  12. how i interpret is he starts a table, presses exit key and he is back in pinballx fx2 table list but he does not know how to go to the system selection list (home menu). That functionality exists by selecting system from the menu that pops up when you select a table but if quicklaunch is enabled you do not see that menu but not sure what he is actually refering to it's not very well explained.
  13. he's talking about how to go back to system selection menu at least that how i interpret it. you have to disable quick launch and then press the select button which would normally start a table and choose systems from that list not play table
  14. there is a new table out pool champion deluxe. But i can not create the video's as the game has a bug in attract mode displaying this.. I will report it and wait for them to fix it before recording videos
  15. check other topic about zaccaria docklets. I did not create any videos yet but did create the wheel already and uploaded table audio
  16. New table release Pool champion Deluxe (2020) gamename is pchampiondeluxe. I also uploaded table audio to ftp but have not created the videos for backglass and table yet
  17. New Table released Pool champion deluxe. Game name is pchampiondeluxe <game name="pchampiondeluxe"> <description>Pool Champion Deluxe (Magic Pixel 2020)</description> <rom></rom> <manufacturer>Magic Pixel</manufacturer> <year>2020</year> <type>DX</type> <hidedmd>True</hidedmd> <hidetopper>True</hidetopper> <hidebackglass>True</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game>
  18. edit: forgot to mention was on older PBX when i noticed it, updated to latest version and problem persisted Add a space and then < or > character at the end of the description of a table entry save the list and try to reopen the list. It will produce below jit error without being able to load the list again unless you manually modify and remove &lt; or &gt; text in the database file. The error that shows is "illegal characters in path" I think using &gt; and &lt; is correct (to keep xml correct) but not sure why the illegal characters stuff pops up as i can easily create a file with &lt; or &gt; in the filename so not sure why i get that error. I only found this out by accident and thought i should mention but i don't actually have a problem with it only mentioning in case other people might run into the problem and don't know to fix it to get their list back See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.ArgumentException: Illegal characters in path. at System.IO.Path.CheckInvalidPathChars(String path, Boolean checkAdditional) at System.IO.Path.InternalGetDirectoryName(String path) at d.e(String A_0) at d.a(String A_0, String A_1, String A_2, String A_3) at d.a(String A_0, String A_1, UserControl1 A_2) at Game_Manager.Form1.LoadSystem(String Sys, String File, String IniSysName, Boolean JustList) at Game_Manager.Form1.j(Object A_0, EventArgs A_1) at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.OnSelectedIndexChanged(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.WmReflectCommand(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) see video to see what i mean gamemanager bug.mp4
  19. Hey guys, I was searching for steam games playable on arcade cabinets but i did not find many lists about it. So i started with testing of games i have in my steam account and adding them to a curated list on steam for the ones that do work grouped by genre. I have 2 zero delay usb joystick encoder sticks so the encoders emulate a generic joystick and not a keyboard. if you also got encoders that acts like a joystick you can setup steam to emulate a XBox 360 controller based on your controller. Basically games ran through steam will think you arcade joysticks are xbox 360 controllers. Unfortunatly i don't think this works for encoders that act as a keyboard. I also started creating little video reviews for the games playable like this on an arcade cabinet, my aim is to create a video for each game i added to the curated list already showing gameplay but also showing potential config screens etc so you have an idea how many buttons might be needed to play the games. to start steam games you basically just need the game ID which you can find on steamdb site and then you start steam games like this: i eventually did not use gameex for my arcade cabinet but i'm sure it's possible to create a list of games with the gameid and game name to display and run from gameex itselve also If you want to setup your (dinput) controllers a xbox 360 controllers using steam check out this video: I only encountered a handfull games, all from same developper that had issues with this (notably dot emu games for example double dragon trilogy) but the same issues exists on a real xb360 controller also for those games so it's more a problem of the games then it has todo with this xbox 360 controller emulation This is the curated list of games i have tested so far (currently 62 games but i have more to test and on wishlist): https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38318244/ This is the youtube channel where i create the videos of tested games: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB9VoM9U8EihiPEX4Fdn7XA/ If you guys know of any more games that could potentially work and i have not tested yet please let me know so i can add them to my wishlist and buy them when they are on sale
  20. are you using the scrollwheel of the mouse, to scroll the list in gamemanager ? if so if you hover with mouse over combobox and you scroll with mousewheel it will change it. Should try not to use the scrollwheel if thats the cause. I sometimes have the problem that scrolling acts weird (like jumps back to start) but other than that and the scrollwheel stuff not had any problems yet. Its also possible your database xml contains errors and things get wonky when modifying it. But that could only happen if you made a mistake while manually editing the xml files in notepad or similar
  21. not possible. Image monitor view always uses complete dimensions of screen so always fullscreen
  22. white screens mean you specify wrong / non existing filename for image monitor view. Resolution change has nothing todo with it, whitescreen is always wrong filename in order for %1 to work you need to pass the [TABLEFILEWOEXT] or [TABLEFILE] or something to the launch scripts %1 is parameter provided to bat file. For example like this %1 = [TABLEFILE] then
  23. give more info, i'm personally using image monitor view in pinball arcade with FCM to display backglasses without problem. what does not work ? check folder location and if filenames contain spaces make sure to use appropiate handling like 'file name' and not file name without quotes etc. I can not see whats happening on your system. Image monitor view should be run after rotating the screen. If you get a white screen your path to the filename is wrong
  24. ah ok, maybe i should try to play the game some more so i can finally unlock the treasure table and create video and backglass media but not easy to unlock have to finish campaign mode
  25. update 16/07/2020 added topper video for treasure table thanks to logo created by @PcTeknic /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/Joyrider3774/Zaccaria Pinball/Topper Videos/a_treasure.mp4 no video and no backlgass as i don't have this table unlocked. I also extracted game music, but they only exist for remake and deluxe tables /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/Joyrider3774/Zaccaria Pinball/Table Audio also @PcTeknic recorded game audio of playing the tables he has complete collection if you want that, check the zaccarria wheels topic here https://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/17937-mega-docklets-style-zaccaria-pinball-wheel-images/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-196495
