scutters Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Just now, Itchigo said: Ok I was finally able to download an older version. That's a weird way of doing it, I thought it was taking me to the newest version constantly. I was trying to figure out what step I was missing. After all this BS I finally nailed down the problem..... I tried changing the key- nothing. I tried getting the newest version, previous version- nothing. It turns out it was VP doing it! I tried another VP version and it finally gave me both screenshots. That'll teach me to upgrade lol! Thanks to Mike da Spike and Scutters!! Both of you guys are great and I know these things can be frustrating from the other end of things. 😎 Nice.. i was just about to reply to say how totally confused i was by your issue!! Out of interest, was it the GL version of VPX you'd updated to (i know there's issues with capturing videos for that, but i thought images would be ok)?

Itchigo Posted February 12 Author Share Posted February 12 I don't think it was the GL. I think it was the normal 64 bit, but I don't know which revision because I have to name it PinballX.exe for my setup. If I rightclick/Properties it says 10.8.1. I'm still having DMD issues, but I now think that's the .exe also. I read somewhere about the new versions breaking flexdmd somewhere, but I don't know if it was ever fixed. The problem is authors seem to insist on using the latest- even if it's not ready. I don't want to have to upgrade everything just to run a new table.

Mike_da_Spike Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 10.8.1 is not a correct version to use. It's the test channeversiinl for standalone devices, but not recommended for windows devices . Click the info tab within vp if you want to know the revision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Yep, steer clear of 10.8.1 For now you want 10.8.0 RC1 - Release Visual Pinball X 10.8.0 Release Candidate 1 · vpinball/vpinball · GitHub (if you want to run the newer releases, but still have a chance of hitting some problems [not many now hopefully!]) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchigo Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 I just used the one you linked to and it seems the version you linked kills FlexDMD. In other words I don't have a working DMD. It's not a form to back issue, or behind anything, the DMD just doesn't come on. I'm going to post at vpf because it's a vp issue. I went all the way back to 10.8 Beta 4 without it working. Open a table (Bleach) in 10.72 and I have a dmd as normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scutters Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 yeah, vpf is probably best for that issue. Just make sure you have freezy 64 bit (dmddevice64.dll) installed for flex to use if you're now using vpx x64. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itchigo Posted February 18 Author Share Posted February 18 LOL, I'm finally back where I started. I got my DMD working. Somehow I was missing the dmddevice64.dll. Not sure where that went since it was working before. So the only thing wrong now is the dmd not showing on screengrabs like in the first post. I'll live with it lol. Thanks guys, for all of your help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
