I’ve fixed the color scheme issue.

Turns out there was a setting for that inside Visual Pinball.

As soon as I disabled it, no more color scheme changing.

Pretty stupid

One more large issue to solve now,

Focus issue on startup of Pinup Popper and also when loading a table.

Pinup popper starts and has windows logo in lower left…[Read more]

I’ve managed to get it working !!

Pretty weird, but I’ve created a shortcut of the TPAFreeCamMod.exe and edited the script like this :

START “” “LaunchVPXSTARTER.exe” 5 5 60 “PINBALL ARCADE DX11″
CD
START “” “TPAFreeCamMod.exe – Shortcut.lnk” -table

And strangely enough that worked.

Pure luck !!

I still can’t get it working, I thought maybe it was because of an error in your launch script :

Launch Setup Script:

START “” “LaunchVPXSTARTER.exe” 5 5 60 “PINBALL ARCADE DX11″
CD
START “” “TPAFreeCamMod.exe” -table

it says TPAFreeCamMod.exe, I think it must be TPAFreeCamMod.exe

Because in the curlaunch.bat file it said START “” “…[Read more]

Exclusive fullscreen gives a black screen and after a while the table starts,

and when you exit the table the colors of the playfield video are all screwed up.

So enabeling “exclusive fullscreen” is definitely not the solution.

Update: I’ve replaced the playfield video, with a screenshot, but the blink remains.

i’m pretty certain that you get that tv blink just by running the vpx editor/table without using any frontend.

run vpx without full screen exclusive and see if blink goes away…then you know that its a vpx/tv/gpu setting you need to focus on (not any frontend).

I’ve started a table outside Pinup Popper and it doesn’t blink on…[Read more]

Thanks for the suggestion.

Here is a video of how it looks when installed in the pinup popper frontend :

Back To The Future VPX – Loading Video

You’ll see that the screen flashes black for a split second after about 20 seconds,

that’s the pc switching the color mode to the Windows 7 Basic theme.

Ok, guys, I have figured it out myself, pretty stupid, I had to go to the media manager, LOL.

I thought it was something more difficult for the loading videos, guess I was wrong

If anyone’s interested in these loading videos, let me know.

Also if you guys have any suggestions about the video, that would be helpful.

Anyway, I’m…[Read more]

YES

Good to know it’s possible, now the question is, how ?

I’m guessing something like, loading video for each table in the “loading” folder and named as the table ?

Or wait it’s probably with the media manager, right ?

Is it easy to have a different loading video for each table ?

Thanks in advance.

I’ve managed to get it working.

Know I need to know how to setup different videos per table.

The previous video file was just an example,

attached is my new video file.

That’s my video for the moment, but could be that I change it some more.

By the way it’s for the Back To The Future Visual Pinball X table.

I hope you guys can give me…[Read more]

I can’t get this working.

I followed your instructions and when I start a game, iget the following popup

Error while reading the settings file!

There was a problem reading the Settings.ini file!
Please re-extract it to the mod folder if the problem persists.

Can you help me ?

   I’m sure I’ve set everything like in the installation documents you provided. My guess it’s all related to the color scheme issue.
   Turning “disable desktop composition” on (this turns the aero theme off) screws up pinup popper for some reason.

It becomes very slow and video doesn’t play, pffff. The video is…[Read more]

Hello Terry,

The loading bar looks great, at least in the video,

but on my Windows 7 system, I can’t get it to work.

And that is all because of that damn popup that changes the color scheme to windows 7 basic.

Also I get 2 black bars above and below the loading bar. All because of that color scheme issue I imagine.

Also you see the windows…[Read more]

I’ve made 2 video’s:

1st video : https://flic.kr/p/2hEGhrQ

Here you can see the windows start menu symbol in the lower left corner of the screen,

once you click with your mouse anywhere on the screen, it vanishes.

Pinup Popper seems to have a focus problem.

Probably part of the problem.

I’ve just checked and nothing is running in compatibility mode.

Maybe it’s just a matter of choosing a different theme or something ?

I don’t think anything is running in compatibility mode, but I’ll check it to be sure.
