burno_sardine Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Tried a search/faq and not finding what I would like to know. I’m doing a complete cabinet rebuild. I’ve had PBX 2.21 / Win7 for YEARS. I tried the newer 4.80 and ran into a couple of issues and decided I’ll just stick with v2. I have this older version backed up (the entire pinballx directory and subfolders). Can I just copy this v2 backup to a new Win10 environment, or are there scattered DLLs and registry settings to contend with? I’m unsure if PBX is considered a “standalone install” - meaning it operates entirely out of its own directory. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spamola Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Back up your pinballx directory, perform a clean install on the new PC, and copy the backup directories over the fresh install overwriting the existing files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_da_Spike Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 If you want to build a new w10 system, I should upgrade to the latest version of PBX and ask the people here for help on any issue. So much new featutes, but also improvements on the program itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 Copy your current PinballX installation to the new PC and install the latest version of PinballX over the top of the copied files. This will properly register your PinballX installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burno_sardine Posted January 17, 2021 Author Share Posted January 17, 2021 Thank you all - I agree with you mike, and that’s the route I’ll take. And span’s/draco’s info let’s me know I can easily get up and running on day 1 and move forward! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
