Iron Maiden Virtual Time Crashing When Selected

[bushav]

Will you guys please try loading https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/iron-maiden-virtual-time-v1-0-1-2020/ and see if it works OK in your PinballX front end.  When I select it I get a crash. It shows loading and all the front end media is working (PinballX recorder table.B2S.DMD and topper).  After about thirty seconds I just get three black screens.  If I hit ALT TAB I can see three black PinballX labeled screens with no VPX table or VPX editor showing as active.  Task Manager does not show VPX as open.  The PinballX log shows it is trying to load Iron Maiden and then nothing after that.  I tried renaming the table, deleting and reloading in PinballX, deleting the registry file, removing Laser War (the other table that uses same ROM) and other techniques to no avail.  I timed the loading of Iron Maiden Virtual Time outside of PinballX and it takes 26 seconds.  As a comparison ACDC takes 21 seconds.  I was thinking maybe PinballX is timing out and running into a dead end while trying to load.  PinballX Recorder worked fine when recording media videos of table so I know PinballX recognizes the required file.  It's a little "different" table in that it used Laser War Rom and highly modifies the callouts and scoring of the ROM.  Great table by the way! 

I appreciate if you guys could see if your version of PinballX loads the table.  I have 4.13.  As an aside PinballX is working great since I disabled Windows Update and got rid of that pesky update that was tormenting me a couple of weeks ago.

Pinballx.ini too please.

There you go.   Looking at this file it says last selected "Laser War" even though it was Iron Maiden.  I ran another ini with Laser War launched and it launched successfully and ini said "last launched Laser War".  So it looks like PinballX thinks both Iron maiden and Laser War are being launched whenever either is selected on the wheel.  Game Manager shows Iron Maiden as pointing to "iron maiden.vpx".  There must be something under the hood at PinballX that really tags the ROM and pairs it with the wheel selection.  Both of these games use the same ROM.

 

One file is from first launch with Laser War and next is from second launch with Iron Maiden.  Iron Maiden resulted in a PinballX crash.

No, my cab is down for now.

Having the pinballx.ini may be helpful and is generally recommended to provide both files when reporting an issue.

Iron maiden uses the laser war rom. 

I played v1 0 last weekend without issues. Didnt updated to 1.0.1 yet.

Shall test today.

Can you check eventlig if you see crash information ?

I just removed Iron Maiden and reinstalled in Tables folder with new name, b2s new name and all PinballX Iron Maiden assets reloaded with new name after initially removing all traces of it from Game Manager .  It seems to be loading correctly now in PinballX.  Maybe it will keep behaving.  Sure is a great table.

Awesome ! And you use still gamemanager ? Try to use this. 

I heard there will be a new release soon for downloading media.

Thanks for the database manager program you guys created.  I'll give it a go.
