Yeah I'll try and investigate the issue elsewhere, thanks so much all for the help. Must say I learned a lot in a short time about virtual pinball, and love playing the tables.

Yes when played via PinballX and Yes when played in the Visual Pinball editor.

Although it looks really good and plays very well, it doesn't solve the issue.

Thanks for pointing that out, hopefully it does.

I saw the mention of Freezy before and wanted to respond that I use UltraDMD instead, but just realised I downloaded dmdext 1.8.2 from GitHub and the creator is called freeze, so that's what I'm running now. The config file I just posted in another response is the original (from the old version) and I copied the unique setting to the newer configuration file. The error is indeed showing up in the DmdDevice.log which I also posted.

Thanks again guys, really appreciate you taking the time to respond to my noob issues. Running the table directly in Visual Pinball gave the same result and ended in a crash, so I went back to PinballX. I've attached some log and configuration files, the DmdDevice log shows the actual issue, also revert to in the post mentioned, unfortunately the workaround didn't work for me. Both log.txt (PinballX) and DmdDevice.log show an error/restart at 19.18hr, there is also mention of a Real DMD which I haven't configured, could that be an issue? DmdDevice.ini DmdDevice.log log.txt XDMDlog.txt

Not sure what you mean, I've only seen POTC crash multiple times, always when playing a particular animation on the DMD, so not even sure if related to PinballX at all.

Enabling 'Colorize' in VPinMame as suggested in the linked forum post unfortunately didn't solve the issue for me. Not sure what to try next, have attached the PinballX.ini and log.txt, the last one wasn't taken right after a crash, will try to generate that too. PinballX.ini log.txt

Yeah that makes sense, maybe you can consider opening a Patreon or something, or other means for people to donate since there seems to be plenty of usage and interest in what you do.

Testing the suggested workaround currently, but if it happens again I'll catch the log.txt right away, as I keep forgetting that.

To be fair, I think they primarily charge for the hardware and building of the cabinet, it's their hobby and they produce real low amounts. Thanks for the effort that you put in though, it is a little confusing at the beginning with lots of moving parts, but the playing experience is really good, my two sons love it too.

The cabinet came with 'Pirates of the Caribbean (Stern 2006) EB Mod' file installed and I replaced that with the 'YO HO HO EDITION · V1.3' by Hanibal2001, no difference. The ROM's I've tested with are potc_600af and potc_600as.

I did not find nor check the post you mention and it seems to be exactly what I'm experiencing. Testing the suggested workaround now and might upgrade the dmdext software later to see if that helps. I'm pretty sure the cabinet supplier configured it with relatively old software (know working set) on purpose, but I would rather run more update software and get to know the setup a little. Thanks everybody for their responses!

I recently bought a prebuild cabinet and it came with a lot of virtual cabinets, my favourite is Pirates of the Caribbean and this is the only one that crashes. After some trial and error I figured, it only happens when the game shows an particular animation on the DMD, with a ship firing canons towards the user, and when the fifth ball in the center shows and grows bigger than the actual screen. Has anybody seen this before, not sure what to do, I'm running the latest versions of PinballX, Visual Pinball and UltraDMD.
