      I did a brain transplant for my machine and set up a new computer in the process.  DOF works great for VPX and VP9 but will not run with PinballX despite reinstalling PinballX and following all of the steps in the online guide (http://pinball.weilenmann.net/docu/DirectOutputWIP/pbx.html) including registering the Com object and the DOF plugin manager confirms that DOF is found.

      The log for DOf shows the following:

      Init failed: Could not create a instance of the DirectOutput framework. Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {A23BFDBC-9A8A-46C0-8672-60F23D54FFB6} failed due to the following error: 80040154.

       

      DOF worked great in PinballX in the old machine and I’ve transferred over all of the old files to the new one, any ideas from the Windows gurus out there?

        What version of pbx you running? i think anything newer then 2.89 or so is buggy from what i see. if you need older version let me know

            I downloaded the most resent version so if you can PM me an old version that would be great!  I noticed that the new version will not let me use “2” as my exit even though the config has “2” set up as this.  In fact the “2” will start games instead of its assigned “end” function!  Had to reconfigure to “E” as exit.

                I pm’ed you a very old 2.05 version. I’m running 2.36 and for some reason the setup.exe is not on my cab! Anyone else have 2.36 version of pbx install?

                  No. But you can download older version by using the drop-down

                    Thanks guys, the new (old version) works perfectly with DOF and also lets me use D2 as I used to!

                      The reason isn’t that you just pressed next without reading the dialog box where 64bit version of PinballX is the default install ? For most users that is a real problem and a bad choice done my Tom IMO.

                        I can’t say if this is the case or not, my machine is 64 bit.  Does the DOF PinballX Plugin.dll not like the 64 bit version of PinballX?

                          In short – yes. You have to remember pbx in some cases starts other software. And mixing 64bit and 32bit is not a good idea. I hope and believe that some day we’re starting to actually use setup64.exe in vpinmame, 64bit of freezy etc. But for now – it is not ready and that is why I say that Tom makes a mistake enabling it as default. Windows users are very used to pressing next expecting that to be the best choice.
