Most likely whatever method you are using to close FP is the problem. FP must be closed by Popper itself using only Popper’s Exit Emulator button, and it needs to be done cleanly with no Taskills being used.
This is all my exit script has in Popper
“[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE” WINTIT “Future Pinball” 2 1
rem Remove “rem” on the next line to close Future DMD after exiting a table.
rem taskkill /f /im “FutureDMD.exe”You need to login in order to like this post: click here
hi Terry
Finally have a cleaned up Future Pinball running pinevent without crashing, I dont know whats doing it but I have to clean up the folders and reinstall the fp + bam and upgrade (which btw he has a july 2020 update).
I then install the pinevent stuff… configure everything and FP no longer crashes… its very strange.
When I am in pinup popper front end and launch many of the pinevent tables… I see this after returning back to pinup (see attached pic)
I have looked around but cannot find which COM object may be used when calling FP and PinUP… strange behaviors for my cab. :)Attachments:

Your Pin2DMD is 128×32, is it not? I’ve never seen a 128×16 version. Everyone in VPin cabinets use 128×32 DMDs.
No its the newer Pin2DMD which is considered 128×16 RGB: https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/hardware/128×16%20CONTROLLER
this allows me to fit that unit inside the pre-cut slot in the Xtension Arcade (recroommasters) 40″ pinball backglass…
Looking back however, I really should get a mod to place a nice 16:9 LCD in its place to do a lot of your newer HUD stuff.. :(

Ques: I was running the v1.05 and went back to this version (didn’t make a difference) because even with the DMD settings set to False on the script, it shows the DMD in the backglass…. on v1.05 the script settings do not exist FYI.
the FP Intercept shows on my Pin2DMD but never displays the DMD that is showing on the backglass…
I do have FutureDMD installed (used for Tron LE) and that as well as Retroflare show on the Pin2DMD… what maybe am I missing or overlooking?
The DMD settings I added for this table were for the “HUD” DMD used for desktop….. not the backglass. There’s no reason to turn off the DMD on the Backglass.
This table uses a 128×16 DMD. FP Intercept (and FutureDMD) mirrors only 128×32 DMDs. So the solution is to change the DMD on the backglass in the Translite Editor to 128×32 to see it on FP Intercept. This also applies to any other table with a 128×16 DMD.
that is too bad… my Pin2DMD is the 128×16 too… thank you for the tips! this is great news. ok I will see if I can figure out how to edit the DMD using Translite editor :P
Thanks again.

i have do that ,it is not working, fploader.exe don´t start
So I am new to this.. BUT I have seen it all..
Make sure:
You have added all the proper Libraries Terry brought up when configuring the system for Future Pinball and BAM
Also as a spot check, go into the Virus Threat protection > Manage Virus & threat protection settings > scroll down to add or remove exclusions
Add that drive where you have all this on (D: C: etc) just for testing…
Re-export the BAM/Future Pinball files back into the folder and overwrite what you got… (minus the ini files) :)
see if that gets it going… if it does, then change the exclusions to the folders only at this point.
hope this helps.

Ok so that is my issue then… I have tried Pinevent Retroflair and Jaws, but no DMD outside of what is being displayed on the backglass…
You need to choose the correct PinEvent settigns for real DMD, and also a PuP-Pack option for Real DMD as well.
Terry – ok I have it showing on my Real DMD!!!! Thank you!
I now have strangeness with the backglass screens… when it loads it shows Quin and the guys with title chopped off at the bottom.. then when the game loads, it duplicates itself up the screen… so it like replicates itself crawling up the screen… everything else about both games appears to be working now :)
Retroflair also is doing this on the backglass….
Ideas?

I will see what my pinevent settings.vbs file is set to… stay tuned.

Terry this was very easy to follow and update – thank you!
Is there anything special since I just installed a Pin2DMD to start using that with Future Pinball? I have been shown a few options but there is no clear solution to use that will work future proof with BAM/PinUP etc…

Yes – UltraDMD is used for Tron LE PupPack… so its working (its needed (tron requires it) and sends to my Real DMD Pin2DMD).

I keep hearing this.. but on Freezys site etc… no mention of how to use Future Pinball with this.
They refer to Visual Pinball… and other systems.
Is there a guide on installing Freezy with UltraDMD for Future Pinball?
