I cannot make anything of this. Whats the pinballx version you use ?

Is it happen suddenly or after upgrading pinballx ? Or adter security update?

Maybe as an alternative try Databasemanager.  

 

[scutters]

Please also advise if PinballX is running normally for all enabled systems (to rule out corrupt database xml)

other than that i don't have many ideas except as Mike says, what happened before the issue started (any windows, hardware, pinballx changes etc)?

[aupton]

Sorry, forgot the most important info. I'm testing with the latest version, PinballX 5.32 and its been almost a year since I last updated and don't recall what my previous version was, but it did previously work.

Having been a while since last powering up there were numerous Windows 10 OS and Nvidia driver updates as well so difficult to nail down any correlation to any specific update.

Pinball X appears to be working correctly

I have been using Database Manager to get things configured in the absence of Game Manager, but prefer Game Manager.

Can you attach these files?. Might be a clue in there..

[scutters]

Sorry, not tried using Game Manager in a while. Turns out i get the same issue if i try to open it with the 32bit version installed. I can open it ok using a 64bit install though.

I'm guessing you're probably using a 32bit PinballX install? If so, try checking the 64 bit option during the install options to see if that fixes it.

[Tom Speirs]

I get no issue with game manager on 32 bit install. Hard to know much more without a PinballX log. Dont know what version you are running.

[scutters]

Narrowed it down a bit more as it works ok on a test install to a clean directory. Turns out it's the usepinmame flag in the pinballx.ini file (?).

Using this ini file with V5.33 32bit Game Manager crashes after a couple of seconds. Change the to UsePinMAME=False and Game Manager will work.

PinballX.ini

log.txt

PinballX will launch ok whichever way the flag is set

Disable use pinmame in frondent in pinballx settings
