[RESOLVED] ROMS no longer playing in attract mode after upgrade to v3.42

[pgheyd]

After installing the latest PinballX 3.42, it no longer plays the ROMs in attract mode.  I've spent hours trying to get it to work again, to no avail.  I was thinking it was related to xdmd, dmddevice.dll, or vpinmame.dll.  Different versions did not affect it.  ROMs no longer play in attract mode.  I use a pindmdv3.  It had worked fine up until today when I installed 3.42.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[Draco1962]

Please attach copies (no copy and paste) of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. More info as to the ROMS and Vpin version may also be of help.

[Tom Speirs]

Probably installed 64 bit version and running 32 bit pinmame. There also was a bug in a release last week but 3.42 should be good. Log would sure if you are running it.

[pgheyd]

Tom,  I only install the 32 bit version.   Thanks in advance for any help.

Also, it's any of the ROMs.  Doesn't matter which I choose.

The VPINMAME version is the latest:  version 3.2, latest rev as of 5/17/19.

[Mike_da_Spike]

Please attach your pinballx.log file. The logfile you attached it from dmddevice.

And post it as attachment as Draco1962 mentioned, not as plain text.

Btw. I dont use the pinmame in frontend, but are the next lines correct ?

HidePinMAME=True
UsePinMAME=True

Looks like it enabled itself and hide it...

[scutters]

@pgheyd

Do you know which version you updated from?

[Tom Speirs]

Its fixed in 3.44. Now available.

It seems the latest version of the obfuscation software caused an issue.

[pgheyd]

I installed the new version 3.45 tonight, and it fixed it.  Thank you!
