You could try to change the VPX exit key to not be Q and keep Q as Popper exit emu….

best to have Popper close vpx, so not have both with same exit key.

dbl check that Q is only assigned to EMU exit in popper and no other function in Popper as well…

I’m guessing your problem is not with auto-record at all….  its that your setup is not working ‘right’ and exiting/closing vpx completly.  (auto-record is mainly a ‘simulated’ keypress application)…

try this first:  forget about recording for the test.

with your setup.  go into and out of 5-7 vpx tables… and then see your task man…[Read more]

couple of things…

first try and increase the delays to see if that helps…

if that doesn’t work then it maybe something with your DOF… if vpx doens’t fully close b2s server then DOF can remain open.

you could set useDOF=false and try recording all 200 tables and see if that works.

haven’t heard of any issues with auto-record in Popper…

your problem is either a particular table is ‘crashing’ vpx (probably your 3rd table)…

there are 3 log files in the recording subfolder of pinupsystem that are created for each recording.

while it seems that its recording the ‘wrong’ stuff… that’s not whats happening.  if there’s an…[Read more]

good to hear you’re trying to create a puppack!

first question:  do you have pinup player working ok with other PuP tables like tron/avatar?

reason i ask is that you should already have the afm_xxx rom folder in your pupvideos folder created automatically when you ran afm….

if it wasn’t there then that should be the first step to troubleshoot.

useDOF=true is really all thats needed.  (and updated dofconfig files)

did you use the new r3++ dof installer?

try changing the admin=rights on/off of pinupmenu.exe to see if dof works…

with propinball try changing the vpxstarter to this as well

START “” “LaunchVPXSTARTER.exe” 5 1 5 “nothingpro”

and see if Pro will handle the focus itself….

no spreadsheet yet… but you can find examples the forums here and more here:  http://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=playlists_sql_examples

are you asking about DOF lighting within Popper?  did you setup dof in Popper?

Hey there,

I am running into the same thing now, once i enable use dof. It seems to be even fresh after an install, and checking that everything is unblocked in pinup player…any advice?

check/read the DOF section here:  http://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=hardware

for 2>  are  you sure you need to use /wait  with pindmd?  you could also replace wait with /min so that its minimized on startup.

when timeshock is running alt-tab and make sure the timeshock window is called “Pro Pinball”  because if its different then the focus seconds won’t matter as it won’t find the correct windows title.

some ideas to try…

1>  change your launch script in fx2:

START "" "LaunchVPXSTARTER.exe" 5 1 5 "nothingfx2"

2> move the line START “” “LaunchVPXSTARTER.exe” 5 5 60 “Pro Pinball” to after the pin2dmd launch line.  also change the values to 5 10 60 to see if that helps focus.

3> on vpx launch script add the parameter -minimized :

if ""=="1" (< …[Read more]

that setting is in the video preferences inside vpx editor…

i use an rx 480 and it all runs smooth.  you need to check/enable the box for “alternate depth processing…”  something like that.

not much speed diff between a 970 vs 580   http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-970-vs-AMD-RX-580/2577vs3923

now a 1070ti…. that’s fast!

couple of things:

for 4K recording you need to setup like this:  http://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=recording_table_media

also,  there’s 3 log files in your recording folder that will tell you the problem with recording.  I’m 99% sure your playfield problem is that your pupdisplay setup has your screen dimension larger than your phy…[Read more]

that error happens if you have exe/dll blocked.  and/or your antivirus is blocking exe (or even removing the exes)

check all files in pinupsystem or reinstall with no antivirus.

if coming back from daphne your windows/screens are out-of-whack…press the game-select (to bring up game menu)…. that will recheck all positions.

windows and changing resoultions is not a perfect science.

also try this in close script to see if it does anything

“LAUNCHPUPCLOSER.EXE” PROC “” 10 1 3

let me know

i added vpxstarter.exe to the startup script as that’s always needed.

there are a few ideas to get this done… i would do this.

create a folder maybe a subfolder in pinupsystem…doesn’t matter where….call it CustomGames

you can make a new emulator called ‘Custom Games’ and make the file extension for these BAT

create a bat file in customgames folder called ‘DalphneLair.bat’  that has your example in…[Read more]

also, to add to Terry’s post:

you actually aren’t ‘forced’ to use custompos.  you can clear that field out and it will use the pupdisplay configured location for gameselect screen in PinUP.

that so people in portrait or desktop or fancy wheelbar layouts can use this theme too.

you can see video if you don’t want to use…[Read more]
