[RESOLVED] Yet another Visual Pinball thread...

[celly]

Firstly, Visual Pinball works in and outside of GameEx. It's not the emulator that is giving me hell, its VPinMAME. Yeah I really don't know what I did or didn't do to not get my VPinMame DMD to display on my screen when a table is launched in GameEx but it doesn't seem to want to show. I've got it to show a few times but less than I can count on one hand. Also, I've tried numerous different cmd lines and the one that is in the config is the only one that launches anything.

Here is my emulator config.

When VP runs did you try hitting F3 to reset VPMame and see if that fixes it.

That did it. Thanks K-man! Resolved.

There is also an old bug in VP that causes this, the fix is to set the VP exe to run in compatbilty mode for windows NT 4.0 (service pack 5).
