Tom. I am on 2.67 and getting nothing but crashing. I have yet to have a problem up to this point. Am running 4k at 60hz. 7700k GTX 1080 and 16gb Ram. Computer is built to spec. It will run for 4 or 5 tables then crash. Then when scrolling through tables it will scroll smooth but won't change video til i stop on a wheel. Then black for 1/2 second. then video. SO 2.67 was unusable for me. I have been playing with it for 30 minutes and my backglasses crash 10 seconds into pbx loading. The scrolling is snappy just not the videos. I went back to 2.65 and although a bit slow is far smoother and enjoyable. and does not crash.

Does the FTP server Block the PBXrecorder? I can't get basic input commands to grab the wheels.

Have thought about it but won't that limit my ability to run explorer for update

I don't want the Desktop to be seen at all. My computer boots in less than 5 seconds. I can hide bios screen. windows logo loading screen. I want the desktop hidden too. I want the button to click. and boom instant pinball. like it was all one piece. After PBX fails I can run it manually from run command like nothing happened. Some ideas on why would be great. I know this is an oddball thing but I want fluididy.

So I have been trying to clean up my build and hide everything. When I set up a Group Policy to start PinballX I get the PinballX Load screen then crash.

Dead thread I know. I am running a Pindmd1 and have the same issue

Thats the plan is to replace. Just looking for a Temp solution. The menu skips 2 when i barely tap the button

I use a GPwiz 40 for my buttons. My chip on my card is fried currently and the 1 button is permanently jammed. I changed the buttons up. But now in my menu the scroll and select is TOO fast. how can i slow it down.

Clockwise? I use a real DMD but my guess again is rotate the DMD monitor so it's sideways. Other than. That it's a case by case basis in the table scripts. Look for. Controller and the setting. .rol =0 or 1. Rol is the rotate setting.

I may be wrong but try changing this: [backGlass]monitor=2 (Was 1)x=0y=0width=1680height=1050[DMD]Enabled=Truemonitor=1 (Was 2)x=0y=0width=384height=96

Ok that's a good option. Didn't see it in the xml. . So check that but I want that option in Game Manager so I can do it on the fly instead of opening the xml. . 1 new request.... I want a clock option in the text scroll. Free Play Yada yada. I want a clock in it that shows run time as well as actual time. .

I always Uninstalled first because if I didn't the little thing in the. Bottom would say I'm 3 build behind when I'm really not. Annoyed me terribly. It didn't erase ever before. This was a firat

Settings: Support for multiple VP installs from one setup. When you setup VP in the wizard just have options for multiple setups. Run multiple xml's from the same directory but be able to use the same media folders if desired. I hate have multiplefolders of the same media for 2 installs for VP and VP pm5. It would be easier. Pretty sure thiswould be quite a bit of coding so idk if tis possible for you. thanks

Requests for Game Manager: 1: Auto Rename: I have a lot of tables that don't have accurate names ie: My Description: IronMan, Game Manager Default: Iron Man (Stern 20xx). Add a button in list view (Mass Rename) to take everything matching My Description to either the game managers or a User Specified. I hate renaming png's across alot of folders and this would allow me to standardize it to the game managers quickly. This should be a fairly easy thing to implement as well. Heck I could do it for you. 2: Save Button on top next to xml selection. 3. Preassigned roms to game manager defaults. I just posted the error I found a few minutes ago. Have a button next to the ratings button for roms that will autoselect to match the game manager. If the first feature was implimented it would be easy to program this button as well.

Ok, So I spent the better part of the day redoing my entire Visual Pinball and Future Pinball XML. This day kicked off with me installing the current pinball x to support DB2S. I was excited. Far as I know I was the original requester for this project. I uninstalled PinballX reinstall the new one. Same procedure as always. When I did this it erased all my XML's. I think this was my fault but unsure. then i dug up a backup thankfully. I redid all of it to get it all right and be pretty. After setting ALL the roms for every set I saved my xml. Then did a ratings import since I changed some names added stuff just to get it all pretty. When I imported the ratings it cleared EVERY rom that was listed. They are all blank now. This isn't suppose to be a rant. It was just an unhappy happening. THanks

Jester what problem are you having with PM5? I run 4 forms of Vpinball with no issues. And Xml's are actually pretty easy to do.

In the recent iterations you can have PinballX run VpinMame from the frontend. So when you are scrolling table to table the dmd does actual start the rom.

Reopening with another Idea: Instead of Backglass Videos why not support for DirectB2S from the frontend to get random/accurate light shows everytime with no extra video needed. The rom is already running for the dmd so I am guessing it would work together

With VP10 on the way it could always be implimented.

I was honestly hoping for that in GameEx Online. Good to know it is coming. The list editor that is. I have been trying with WineSkin to get the Game Manager to run just having trouble for some reason. Ill keep playing with it another day. Also in regards to #3: What I meant is an automated script to launch EVERY table one by one and pull the screenshots of both play and backglass. that way i could walk away and let it run for probably an hour depending on table count to update all. Request #5: In game Manager add say a drag and drop box: When you drop in a new table it does a fuzzy gives you a dialog and pre populates all the fields. User just has to double check all values and could mark it as a separate version if necessary. With this you could have a Launch button that would launch the table and get the screenshots instantly. Just trying to make it easier and quicker for the user. Granted I know this means more work for the programmer. Depending on what language the tools are written in I can lend my help. I Have experience in .Net languages which is what the tools look to be written in.

Request 1: A little harder but my dream. For me I would love for the game manager to be standalone. I do the bulk of my updating and changes from my Mac and if I could run the game manager from it.. Doesn't have to be a mac app I can WINE it. So that way you could say drap and drop the new table in. It gets uploaded to directories. Find all the art and viola. From couch after a major round of updates to playing in no time. Request 2: Not overly complicated It may exist and maybe Im do dumb to find it: A way to enter out of the tables back to VP or FP itself for code changes and such. (B2S, DMD) That kind of thing. Request 3: Just a bit on ridiculous side: Prewritten script to run EVERY table in the XML to screen shot the table and b2s backglass. With an added option to pull open the script of the table for the user to make adjustments for what may have you. Like I said. Ridiculous. Request 4: Game Manager to pull all Media in one quick move for everything with Fuzzy Match instead of Selecting one by one. I know a fuzzy match is already in place in your script somehow in game manager but if it could do a fuzzy on the rom button that would make life alot easier then going through the list to M N and O looking for one rom when You have a massive collection. I know some of these are a bit much but these are just my requests and you can shoot me down a blank no. No harmed feelings.
