Installed newest version, now I can't even coin up or start a game

[xman2win]

I am not sure why the versions expire.  Everything worked well but since I installed the latest version, I can choose the game but it will not coin up or start the game.  Since I only download and install this when necessary, I am not very familiar with it.  I have tried downloading and reinstalling the latest version several times without any success.  Is there any way to go back to the previous version?  Or has anyone had a similar problem and can pass along the fixes?  Thanks in advance.

If you install the 64 bit go back and install the 32 bit...

If that does not solve your problem come back and post your pinballX log and Ini file

Check the auto configure Visual Pinball option in the setup wizard. This is probably on and your controls have been remapped.

PS: Versions don't expire any more.

The auto configure in VP is not on.  I am not sure how to pull up the ini file or the pinballx log.  There was one interesting note.  It says the working path and tables path of future pinball do not exist.  I have tried to push the buttons I want to use but nothing happens when I push the buttons.  Just lost and frustrated.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

You will need to post the files to get further help. Sorry.

I had to update my PinMAME to 3.1 to fix this.  I believe after installing PBX 3.13 or something I too had coins and start busted.  Didn't realize my 3.0 PinMAME was old.

 

Here's a link in case lazy or broken google.

Hello again,

I updated PBX 3.13 and nothing has changed.  The only times I get in to the computer end of this is when I have to update it.  I hope I have attached the correct files for review.  I have not changed any of the settings since installing the newest version but since I put PBX 3.13, it will now not even let me choose a game.  Before it would let me choose a game and then not allow me to start it.  Is there a way to go back to previous versions?  Everything worked so well previously.  Anyway, if anyone can let me know what I need to do to get this to work, I would appreciate it.  Thanks in advance.

Older versions are available just go to the download and click changelog.

Not sure why its not working for you. Is your cab controlled via keyboard or gamepad buttons? Did you check the controls in the setup wizard? Maybe your keyboard or controller is on the fritz?

Did you try the 32 bit Version

Down load PinballX 3.19 - And it will install the 32 bit Version

I installed this version.  It is better but I cannot play games on it yet.  I really don't know how to change the settings on this.  The start button does not do anything like before.  I can start the game with the keyboard but it doesn't do anything.  There is an odd sound the game makes (it does the same sound on all games) and then nothing.  It is almost like it is frozen.  The only thing I can do is escape out to the "wheel".  I am not sure if I need to change the settings to make it recognize the start button or if something more detailed needs to happen.  Any and all help is appreciated.  The files are attached again if they can help figure this out.  Thanks.

I don't know what you changed the EXE file for VP 10 but mine is Executable=VPinballx.exe

I am just lost on this.  I have downloaded and installed the latest version more times than I can count.  The keyboard buttons work fine but I have a start button on the machine that does nothing now.  The button that used to add coins now pulls up a screen with instructions.  That also is new.  I have no idea what to change to make the game start with the start button.  I have tried to change the settings to recognize the button in the settings but it won't.  The game worked fine until I installed the latest version and now most things don't work.  Is there a setting to go from keyboard to other buttons?  Just lost....

Perhaps get help from the person who setup your cab?

Not sure you caught what fixed mine in this exact way.  PinMAME controls what happens to the ROM in your VPx games. (coin op/start)  Update that.  I had to go from 3.0->3.1.  This is not a PinballX issue.
