Thank you this does seem to be the exact problem I have and why I don't see it on my other vPin that doesn't use a real DMD.

Ok thanks minimal knowledge here on how it all works, my thought was if there were muliple entries somehow with the same name or close, maybe it would cause an issue. Like I said it was odd as in the past I have had pinballY read pinballX and all just worked (I just prefered to stay with pinballX) but this time trying that pinballY was a hot mess of garbage muliple table entries bad links etc and didn't just work. This made me think maybe something was off or corrupt in my database files somewhere.

I'll double check my settings later tonight but they should be as you posted. Also is there a DB clean function anywhere in pinballX, while everything works and looks right in both game manager and the other manager and plays displays correct other than the glitch I mention above, I wanted to do a quick test with pinballY. I had pinballY read and use pinballX as I was curious how the table would play, it did not get valid information. It listed multiple extra older deleted tables files etc. I am wondering if something maybe hanging around in my DB that somehow confuses these couple tables.

Thanks I'll do some more troubleshooting and report back later. I have this same setup less the pin2dmd running on another minipin I built and it runs fine there (atleast harry potter I don;t have the others loaded on that vpin) . It is running a bit older version, maybe I will upgrade and see if the problem occurs. I have an image of it to go back to if it does break it.

On Harry Potter, Batman TAS, superman TAS. I have an issue where when launched from PinballX the back glass flashes between being correct and solid black. If run from VPX directly there is no issues, the backglass stays there the whole time with no black screens. Hopefully I explained that well enough. I have use B2s turned off and checked or unchecked for show backglass makes no difference. Thanks for any help with what I have done wrong. Give a brief description of you sytem setup (2/3 screen setup, feedback, addressable leds) ~ 2 monitors + a pin2dmd display Are you using any 3rd party add-ons (dmdext, doflinx, PUplayer) Yes all three are installed Define which emulator you are having issues with (VPX, Future Pinball, FX3) VPX Is the issue table specific or an issue for all tables? If so please state the table name. Pup tables Harry Potter, Batman TAS, Superman TAS (others flintstones, TNA, JP etc run fine) Does this issue occur only when launching the game via PBX? Yes it runs completely fine from launching direct via VPX, the error only shows using the frontend What Version of PBX are you on? 4.62 Attach your Pinball X xml, ini, and log files, DO NOT COPY THE CONTENTS INTO YOUR QUESTION, attach the actual files. Not sure where the pinball X XML is. log.txt PinballX.ini

Thank you, I ended up just renaming the file to corvette.vpx and it started to work just fine, renamed it back to above and it failed the same way. Real odd but resolved thanks. I'll checkout database manager as well.

Hi eveyone, does anyone have the table Corvette (midway 1994) 1.2 running pin pinball X, it returns to the load screen without launching same with in Game manager trying to launch or take videos. Have many other tables running correct but not this one. It loads and play perfectly when directly done in VPX. I did just try updating to 4.61 but I have the same results. Every other table I added today worked perfect. Thanks for any ideas

I am currently on ver 3.45 will anything get messed up upgrading to the newest? I just remember the pain of getting all setup in the beginning (being new and getting VPX tables correct mostly)so I wanted to ask. The main reason is I was trying to setup FP w/BAM using FPloader.exe as the executable, it only partially works PinballX crashes back to the wheel screen why FP continues to load and plays the table. Any idea if the upgrade will fix this? Thanks

Thanks I will later once I boot it up. I did find a work around i went to cmd and shell:startup and put in a shortcut

Wondering what I am missing, I have the config setting set to Yes to start with windows. But it just sits at the desktop. I have toggled it, ran it as admin can;t get anything to make it work. Thanks for any ideas.

Thanks!

Any reason why all my tables that were setup with proper DMD placement in VPX (centered in DMD area of backglass db2s) , using 2 sceens when loaded via pinballX the DMD is on the main playfield, bit the Backglass loads correct. If I redo all the placement in pinballX will it maintain it? I am new to this front end so forgive me if this is a common issue I did try a search. Thanks
