Won't launch cmd for dmdext after upgrade of PinballX

[Mike_da_Spike]

Ok, i will try that Tom. 

But just awake and need to wake up a bit. Give me a couple of hours (think you didn't getvsome rest with all the updates you did on all your great programs)

[Tom Speirs]

Thank you for all your help. Don't worry, I slept all day. shh!

[Mike_da_Spike]

Ha ! Me too

[Tom Speirs]

PS: It should also say Initialized PinDMD3. If that's not happening it may also explain it.

[Tom Speirs]

It shouldnt be initialling twice too. Thats bad too. Looking.

Edit: I already fixed that I think.

[Mike_da_Spike]

Ok. I have pinDMD firmware 1014 (according to my display)

And this is the log when I start PinballX :

XDMDlog.txt

[Mike_da_Spike]

Waiting for screensaver and launch table, results in the same. Taking 8 seconds with a black screen before loading video even starts.
And DMD not working in Visual Pinball.
returning to PBX, results that my DMD isn't working either

Edit. Launching table after that, is faster (no 8 seconds delay), but still no DMD within Visual Pinball and returning again to PBX , no DMD as well

XDMDlog.txt

[Tom Speirs]

More fixes.

XDMD.zip

[Tom Speirs]

Yeah, something definitly up. It should say initialized pindmd3.

[Mike_da_Spike]

Latest version won't even launch PinballX.
When starting PinballX, The backglass becomes black, but returns to desktop.
My Plugins are loaded, but don't see anything on screen (even after reboot)

Let me disable all my plugins as well

[Mike_da_Spike]

oh, its definitely a crash

I can see exactly where the issue is. Its actually not my fault. Its pindmd.dll I think. hold on a sec.

[Tom Speirs]

yeah, i see the crash. hold on a sec.

[Tom Speirs]

Okay so pindmd.dll is supposed to return integer >0 but its returning 0

[Tom Speirs]

Okay, this should fix it but its a hack as pindmd.dll is returning 0.

XDMD.zip

[Mike_da_Spike]

Thats launching again.
Should I test Visual Pinball as well (and screensaver mode)?
 

[Tom Speirs]

Log again please so i can confirm.

[Mike_da_Spike]

Hre's the log.

Still 8 seconds before loading screen is showed and no DMD within VP
Returning to PBX doesn't show the DMD (with the log XDMDlog  after I returned to PBX)

log.txt XDMDlog.txt

[Tom Speirs]

Okay, its working exactly as it should now. Now I got no idea at all!

[Tom Speirs]

Are you using dmddevie64.dll with Pinballx?

Is it in the folder?

[Mike_da_Spike]

No I don't. Just the PinballX files

Okay, Ive got no idea whatsoever now. We will have to wait for others.

 

[Tom Speirs]

I dont even know why it was even working for you before. Did you disable your plugin?

[Mike_da_Spike]

sure. No problem
Thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it !

Yes, For the latest tests, I disabled all
and yes, it was working, but at a sudden moment it breaks (and only after screensaver mode. really don't know what changed. 
Maybe I had it before, but closes the table and relaunch the table fixed it.
But when I noticed that it was not working, I got my attention to it  

I upgraded my PC from W10 to W11 and still happen, I reinstalled W11 and still happen, I even bought new hardware last year and reinstalled everything from scratch (only copied tables, datatabase files and media) and still happens

For now I use my plugin, that is doing almost the same as XDMD.
I only doesn't have the highscores scrolling into it.
