Hey! Going down a bit of a rabbit hole here, but I have run into a number issues that Google is having a hard time solving. The background is I am running PBX as a frontend for VPX and only VPX, mainly to save highscores, as I already had Launchbox set up as a front end and outside of not saving high scores, works fine.
However, with PBX I have run into a number of minor problems that combined - become a bit of a dealbreaker. I am hoping some of these can be easily rectified. As a note, even though I have PBX set to load through Launchbox, I have tested PBX without Launchbox, and all of the problems persist in the exact same way.
1. Most tables run at about 1.5x speed. It seems to be the VPinMAME tables, only, though. They run perfectly fine when run independent of PBX.
2. 5/6 tables tested so far do not save high scores. The fact that 1/6 has makes it weirder - may just bad luck with the small sample size? Not sure.
3. The Game Manager only detects .vpx files in the root directory. i HOPE it's just a checkbox I missed, because it would be an absolute nightmare to reconfigure at 434 tables to be run out of the root directory (and an eyesore). Surely it can't look for vpx files in the folders?
I looked at previous posts and a log is typically requested, so here is one running Dungeons and Dragons, a table that has both issues of not saving a high score and running at about 1.5x speed:
