Lizard Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Hi Is the use pinmame in frontend setting supposed to run the rom in attract mode instead of using a video of the dmd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 No, its for displaying on a DMD monitor/device, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 The question mark on the use pinmame in front end in display settings says (actually use the pinmame rom and display it on your dmd monitor or dmd unit when in pinballx). I am a bit confused then if i select yes to use pinmame in front end should it run the rom in pinball x attract mode? If i select yes to use directb2s in front end the directb2s runs in attract mode fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Speirs Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Yes, it runs the rom on the DMD instead of a video or image. you need to tell PinballX the name of the roms to run in Game Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I have DMD videos in my media folder, would pinballx use pinmame (if enabled and configured in game manager) or the dmd video as priority? I assume it would be pinmame, and would that also be the case for table Audio files? (ie use rom sounds) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lizard Posted September 18, 2018 Author Share Posted September 18, 2018 I have this working now but there is something fishy going on. Using the junkyard rom jy_12 as an example when i run it through the vpmame test mode it plays fine but when it runs through pinballx in the front end it keeps flashing the (coin door open interlock disables playfield high power) screen in between the other screens. Maybe something to do with the way pinballx runs vpinmame perhaps. Has anyone come across this before using pinmame in the front end setting ?
