Based upon the error I found, you did and it looks like it isn’t appearing in the log any longer since you installed the codec. At least that is now ruled-out.

Looking for this file - dots - 75169.mp4 Also, the LAV codecs are essential - download them, install, and let us know if it resolves the error. If not, please attach a new log.txt file so we can see what is showing.

Can you attach a copy of the .mp4 file referenced in this exerpt below? 15:42:14.21 6/11/2024: Open: Failed Opening Video: c:\gameex arcade edition\themes\default - default\media\random video backgrounds\dots - 75169.mp4 Also can you confirm that you have installed the recommended LAV codecs? Thanks

You already provided this - need the log.txt file right after the error. Thanks!

LTNS! I do not run the Linux version but would guess that file structures would be similar to the setup within Windows.

Please respond to the items in bold. Please verify from your GPU manufacturer/vendor that there are no recent updates. If there are, install them. I am not able to replicate this issue but it is imperative that we have the log.txt file from right after the error to see if there is anything noted.

So this has been going on since at least late May or maybe earlier? Please attach copies of your gameex.ini and log.txt files right after the error occurs for review. Also, have there been any GPU driver updates since? I know that I've had several.

Asking as I saw this on the I-Pac 4 site: Relevent to current issue for a.) confirming Xinput works and b.) as a workaround until/if Dinput can be fixed.

Hiya Mike - do you think it might be a good idea to create a database thread for the various systems like Arcooda Pinball Arcade, PinballFX 1/2/3, etc. within the Apps subforum with download links to the latest version in the PinballX Repository?

According to the Ipac4 page it does support Xinput. Have you looked into this? https://www.ultimarc.com/control-interfaces/i-pacs/i-pac4-board/

@Tom Speirs will need to dig into this if there is an issue with DirectInput.

When reporting any issues, it is recommended that you attach (no copy & paste) copies of your pinballx.ini and log,txt files. Some issues are easier to deduce the cause with these upfront, saving those providing support extra time spent requesting these files and waiting for them. Second, be prepared for requests to split unrelated issues into separate threads. Single threads with multiple issues are difficult to triage and support as well as reference by other users as a possible solution to something they encountered. Reference these guides:

Is the joystick controller standard, DirectInput, or Xinput? If you have an Xbox controller that you can plug in to test Xinput, it should work without a problem - no left/right detected. There may still be issues with DirectInput or "keyboard" type controllers (i.e., inputs represent keypresses).

Have you tried disabling the autohotkeys/script to see if that makes a difference? Have there been any Windows updates in the interim?

When you say "still doesn't show in the gameex setup" are you suggesting you are expecting it to show in the Setup Wizard? If so, that's not how it works. The Setup Wizard is just a shell to update the gameex.ini. Everything you may want to edit can be done within a plain text editor, bypassing the the need for the Setup Wizard if you know what each entry represents. Enabling it within the gameex.ini only serves to enable the functionality desired . Does it work - no left or right movement - after changing the entry from False to True?

Please upgrade to the latest version and attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for additional support. As @Mike_da_Spike suggested it may be that your kit is insufficient to run the full version and will require the lite one, but not having these support files from the latest version of PinballX puts us at a disadvantage to triage further.

Refer to these threads:

It is going to take more than downloading bezels.You can find some in various places but I find having a lifetime membership with Emumovies worth the price to pay to get some good 16:9 bezel packs. If you are talking MAME, you have to go into the settings for each game and select the bezel you want displayed from those you've downloaded. Not all games have bezels nor will they work with emulators. You may want to refer to this thread regarding using Retroarch for emulation and bezel overlays.

I do not have them enabled in regular GameEx, however. I almost exclusively use the GameEx Arcade Edition now with video backgrounds and game logos for the "wheel" display.

Thanks! I think that yours may be a duplicate to a request that I and others submitted long ago when the MAME icons display functionality were first made available.

Can you provide an example of what you are seeing?

Nothing stands out to me in the 2nd log file. The first does show creating the list. Has anything changed on your setup, such as permissions for GameEx Arcade Edition and you MAME install paths? The behavior you describe is as if GameEx is attempting to update a protected file. Will need @Tom Speirs eyes on this one most likely.

I am unable to tell from the log.txt file attached. Can you try exiting GameEx without updating the list and attaching in response to this thread for comparison? Thanks!

Per the log: 13:09:37.51 24/05/2024: Initialising DirectInput for Gamepad support 13:09:37.69 24/05/2024: Using Device 1: Generic USB Joystick 13:09:37.69 24/05/2024: Using Device 2: Generic USB Joystick 13:09:37.69 24/05/2024: Using Device 3: Bluetooth XINPUT-compatible input device Towards the end - not sure if this is in reference to the Bluetooth gamepad, @Tom Speirs will need to review: 13:24:55.57 24/05/2024: Device Change 13:24:55.71 24/05/2024: Gamepad removed.

Should be interesting to see how they handle the obvious absences of some of the main cast from the original.
