[RESOLVED] Pinballx and Visual Pinball problem

[monnezzas]

Hi Guys,

I'm building a minicabinet with a 1080p 23" monitor and a 17lcd as backglass.

I've installed the latest Pinballx 1.72 and with Future Pinball it works correctly (excepr for temporal desktop view during loading process..but this is OT for now) Visual Pinball doesn't load at all, and every time you choose a vp table Pinballx start to loading and exit with a not specified error.

This is part of the settings in Pinballx:

[FuturePinball]

Enabled=True

WorkingPath=C:\Games\Future Pinball\BAM

TablePath=C:\Games\Future Pinball\Tables

Executable=FPLoader.exe

Parameters=/STAYINRAM/open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit

LaunchBeforeEnabled=false

LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=

LaunchBeforeExecutable=

LaunchBeforeHideWindow=False

LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=True

LaunchAfterHideWindow=False

LaunchAfterWaitForExit=False

MouseClickFocus=True

FPRAMPath=C:\Games\Future Pinball\fpRAM

[VisualPinball]

Enabled=True

WorkingPath=C:\Games\vp2

TablePath=C:\Games\vp2\Tables

Executable=VPinball920.exe

Parameters=/play -"[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]"

LaunchBeforeEnabled=false

LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=

LaunchBeforeExecutable=

LaunchBeforeHideWindow=False

LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=True

LaunchAfterEnabled=False

LaunchAfterWorkingPath=

LaunchAfterExecutable=

LaunchAfterHideWindow=False

LaunchAfterWaitForExit=False

NVRAMPath=C:\Games\VP\nvram

[ExitScreen]

Enabled=True

EnableExit=True

EnableShutdown=True

Where's the mistake?

[zeenon]

Does starting Vpinball920.exe outside of PBX, and loading/starting a table work? Is your pinballx.exe and vpinball920.exe set to "Run as Administrator"?

I always had the nvram under my VP dir like this: NVRAMPath=D:\VPinball\VPinMAME\nvram

so I'm not sure if that is the issue.

Here is the sample from the PBX documentation:

[VisualPinball]

Enabled=True

WorkingPath=D:\VPinball

TablePath=D:\VPinball\Tables

Executable=VPinball.exe

Parameters=/play -"[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]"

LaunchBeforeEnabled=False

LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=

LaunchBeforeExecutable=

LaunchBeforeHideWindow=False

LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=True

LaunchAfterEnabled=True

LaunchAfterWorkingPath=D:\PinballX\Scripts

LaunchAfterExecutable=ledset.bat

LaunchAfterHideWindow=True

LaunchAfterWaitForExit=False

NVRAMPath=D:\VPinball\VPinMAME\nvram

LaunchAfterParameters=

Also, does the table name under c:\Games\vp2\Tables match the name in your visual pinball .xml file?

Z

[monnezzas]

Vpinball920.exe works perfectly and run as administrator but when loaded in pinballx crashes.. but what do you mean with match the name in my visual pinball XML?

I think that XML is created by the game manager integrated in pinballx.. am I wrong?

[Censored]

The name of the Tables in the Game Manager have match the Filename of the Table (without the vpt extension).

This as nothing to do with the crash, but: Is it correct, that your nvram folder is in another VP folder?

[monnezzas]

No, I've corrected the Nvram path and the problem remain

[Censored]

And what about the Filenames?

Just like zeenon and I said: The Game Name in the Game Manager must be exactly the same as the Filename without extension!

[monnezzas]

The filename in the XML is ok, same name w/o the .vpt

I've tried to reinstall PinballX and configured only VP...it runs perfectly

But when I've added Future Pinball is born another problem, Now FP load tables (loading screen is not visible and there's only a white screen) and when I exit the table by pressing ESC PinballX minimize itself in the Taskbar....only with mouse I can re-enter on pinballx interface.

It's possible that Pinballx doesn't support FP+VP?

You may want to refer to the wonderful setup guide Zeenon has put together. It should set you on a good path with your setup.

solved:

it was the STAYINRAM parameter in FP settings.

Strangely when Pinballx was configured only for FP were ok even without this
