You're welcome! It may or may not make a difference but always best IMO to be on the latest.

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini, log.txt file and answer these questions: Have you tested other USB devices on the same ports to confirm no issues with the same ports? Have you checked Windows Device Manager when inserting the cable directly via PS/2 and with USB adapter? Any device errors showing? Likely it will appear under HID (Human Interface Devices). When you plug in the PS/2-USB combo or just the straight PS/2, have you checked for changes or errors in Windows Device Manager? Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the I-PAC2 software/drivers? They will sometimes corrupt over time. Have you reached out to Ultimarc for assistance? [email protected]

Exactly what I said. Your version 19.80 is what came out a few days ago. 2 new versions - 19.81 and 19.82 - have released since.

Can you try downloading 19.82 to install over the top of your current install and report back with a fresh log file?

New Rufus version to allow installation of Windows 11 with local account and debloat it of telemetry, Teams, and Copilot.

Maybe an issue with the 19.80 install that would be remedied by 19.82 install? Although, 2GB RAM seems pretty lean.

P.S. As you move along through the process, please keep us up-to-date with attached pinballx.ini and log.txt files and a thorough description of any issues. You know the drill... 😎 Since you will be in the process of creating a custom list, you may need to also attach a copy of your xml file to be reviewed.

Sorry to hear of your losses! I suggest starting with the PinballX Documentation that is included with your PinballX download. From there, my guess is that there is some PinballX Database Manager goodness involved (with its own documentation). I would offer to help but it has been some time since I dabbled in PinballX to that degree.

Thank you for providing some examples. That is the correct place to download the latest version. @Tom Speirswill need to address these references. I have not touched the definitions within these features in some time so was not aware.

P.S. if you are seeing references to registered version, please provide screenshots or links. Thanks!

Free. All free. Nothing behind a paywall. Donations welcome as they help towards defraying the costs of "keeping the lights on." If you are seeing any references to registered version or the like, then you are likely using a very old version and not on the latest.

Based upon the previous post, which RAID would you recommend - 5, 6, or 10? For now, I think RAID 5 will be robust enough and should work well with these smaller drives in the event of a failure/restore scenario.

Is it possible that installing VPX via Ballerinstaller is creating the issue where it may not with straight a vanilla install of VPX?

I am thinking about adding a LSI MegaRAID 9260‑8i with ADCAUDX 2Pack Mini SAS to SATA Cable: 1M SFF-8087 to SATA Forward Breakout Cable SFF-8087 Mini-SAS Controller to Hard Drive (3.3FT) in addition to two more 4TB WD Enterprise drives running hardware RAID 5. This will give me 12TB of storage available, not counting the other drives for OS, scratch, etc. As previously noted, I currently have MS Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC installed, but, being my first real server build, not sure what would be best and easiest to build & manage.

@Tom SpeirsWould adding LAV Filter codecs in addition to Media Foundation he already has installed be of benefit? Any forseen conflict?

I added another 307 to the FTP under /-GameEx-/- Emulator Artwork & Videos -/Microsoft Windows/Logo.

My understanding is All MAME Games shows Zaxxon in the list, All Games it does not show. Is it possible that it is ignoring the Do Not Filter ROMS option?

Has this always been this way or just now happening with v17.98? I see that you have zaxxon listed in Do Not Filter - is this the only zaxxon ROM?

The new and improved "Spook!" (Original link here for comparison of hardware) I added some diffused red LED strips to the interior. While solid on the sides, there will be some ambient glow emanating via the mesh front & top as well as back. This is one of my most recent builds, using a mix of older kit & new. It games really well! I am a USAF "brat" and my dad worked on the F4-E Phantom IIs most of his career, so the build is a tribute to him and my favorite fighter jet (and largest distributor of MiG parts).

The only thing I don't like about this particulare YouTuber is that he doesn't provide source links (or a reason why if there is a copyright or other issue) so looking for them myself is daunting. As for ads, they are like AI in that you can't get away from them.

I have been looking for a standalone app that would allow for generating DMD-like output to .mp4 and .apng format. Would it be possible to convert part of the code for this plugin into such a beast? And, if so, can you also add a blinking red death button?

If not Android TV, how about Google TV? Same, but different!

I do not believe it is emulated. I believe that Android TV x86 has been compiled into a Linux Distro.

As for the GPU, I could not update it from the Nvidia site due to the age, so SDI - Snappy Driver Installer - to the rescue! Nvidia Control Panel is available via the Microsoft Store.
