Are you leveraging the internal DAPHNE support or staged as a separate emulator (emulator 1 Laser Disc Games using .au3) when the error occurs? Or does it happen with both? My guess is with just the ones you are launching with Autoit scripts.

Let's narrow this down a little with a two-part question: Is it only the batch files with parentheses in the file names that are not launching via GameEx or is it ALL with parentheses whether launched via emulator or integrated emulator support (e.g., MAME)?

Yikes! Another few questions then - Has this ever worked for you with GameEx? If so, do you recall when it stopped? What is the purpose of launching game or ROM files via batch files? Would you mind attaching copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files from right after launching one of the affected batch files? Thanks.

While @Tom Speirs will need to address if changing is possible, it may be hard-coded. What is the purpose of using the ( ) vs. [ ] ? If [ ] is a working solution then that is what I would opt for and call it a day.

Maybe the DOF fourms at VPUniverse? Looks like a rewrite of the tool is underway per this announcement: https://vpuniverse.com/news/articles/beta-help-test-the-new-dof-config-tool-r30/ DOF forums here: https://vpuniverse.com/forums/forum/118-direct-output-framework/

I look forward to what you come up with. You could possibly keep your existing GPU initially as prices still tend to be a bit excessive and still play quite well.

Why would GameExtender Viewer launch if disabled on the gameex.ini?

Nice looking setup! What kind of displays do you have? AM I correct that you are not looking at a full gut and just replacing the PC components (CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage)? My most recent build was by CyberPowerPC but I added to it with additional drives and accessories. See here: The motherboard, CPU, and GPU are all solid. I suggest at least an 1TB M.2 or SSD for OS and apps (PinballX, Steam, VPX) Leverage a 2TB SSD or greater or use your SATA drive. This would be for FX and FX3, VPX, and PinballX tables and media.

GAME: Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration - Digital Expanded Edition (Steam, GoG) SYSTEM: ROG Ally Extreme w/ 4TB M.2 2280 mod (Windows 11 Pro) My current game of focus is Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration - Digital Expanded Edition ($49.99 purchase includes base game + 2 DLC Bundles ). Overall a great buy, considering that you are getting a great history of the brand that started it all in addition to many influential games, and even some prototypes that did not make it to production. So long as you remember to select Gamepad mode via Armoury Crate it plays out of the box with Xbox controller compatibility. Atari 50: The Anniversary Edition - publisher's site with complete lists of the original games and DLC The Wider World of Atari and The First Console War additions.

Per the gameex.ini file, DisplayOnSecondary=True. Should this read False? [gameextenderviewer] Server=127.0.0.1 PORT=8383 DisplayOnSecondary=True

Are rhe videos being used all the same pixel size and/or aspect ratio as the field they are expected to fill?

Hey there - @Tom Speirs may need to see a copy of your theme in order to adequately attempt to replicate this issue. Will have to wait to see what he says as he may know what is going on. I haven't a clue.

Has this issue been resolved? If not, please uprgrade to v6.20 and attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. Thanks!

Saw this on Facebook today:

Sorry about that - I totally scrolled past your response hence mine to wait to hear whether or not it was needed! 🤦‍♂️ Instructions - Start with GameExtender disablement. Report back with updated gameex.ini and log.txt files if issue appears resolved or not. Disable GameExtender via Setup Wizard - Select No Next, disable Plugins via Setup Wizard - Untick the selection box next to the plugin(s) to be disabled: Report back with updated gameex.ini and log.txt files if issue resolves. You can also reenable one plugin at a time to see if the issue returns to a specific plugin or combination of plugins.

There shouldn't be a need to disable Gameextender and plugins at this time. I have flagged this thread to @Tom Speirsattention as this may be related to some recent changes made with the latest releases.

Hey there! Did you find a solution for TeknoParrot? If so, would you mind sharing your emulator config for PinballX? Thanks! BTW, your kid is a lucky one! @Everyone - Take a gander at this wonderful gift he made for his son on his birthday!

Great job and good dad getting him hooked early! I would love to see some videos of the interface in action! Regarding your spinner settings, I created a table of MAME Spinner Dial Sensitivity settings that may be of help.

Thank you for the files. Do you recall what version last worked well for you before you updated to 18.84 (latest)? Also, what is your GPU and has it been updated to the latest driver?

Yes please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files when reporting an issue. Thanks!

Probably a Feature Request but would a user-enabled feature via Setup Wizard to add a menu item linked to dynamically created XML file of the 10 Most Played tables. Or is this something that could be done via plugin?

How is it for gamepad controls?

Please attach your log.txt file. Thanks.

Not sure the changes will help but you should upgrade to the latest version 6.16. Please do so and attach updated copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. Thanks

Were you able to figure this out and answer your question?
