@outhere Table starts, in both EX Fullscreen and regular Fullscreen.
Pup pack loads up and also the Ultra dmd… but i cant credit the game.

no matter what i press ,( the only thing that happens is that the animation for “add credit ” on dmd reloads every time i hit the credit button

 

This in script ‘ wait for the animation to end
While UltraDMD.IsRendering = True
WEnd

 

I cant find in neither Copa version, 17 or 18 ;/

@Krodak Thanks for reply! I also have dmddevice.dll in XDMD otherwise UltraDMD dont´ work.  But i have tried to remove that aswell just to check what causing the issue. But it still remaining the same.

The black lines seems to appear ONLY when the DMD turns on bright colours, like white .. then it flickers like hell ;/

@randr, Good idéa! I changed to a brand new one, but it wasn´t that ;/ still flickers with the black lines. Yes, i have contacted the manufacturer but no reply yet. Thanks for helping out!

Hi and thanks for the reply, i have checked this into the bone. But didn´t manage to stop the stuttering, and the B2s blinking.
So i removed everything with future pinball, and bam, erased everything in the registry and yeah, total remove.

Did a fresh install of Future Pinball + BAM , and ….  it is the same. As soon i start a table the Backglass starts to flicker, and the table is unplayable, cause it is freezing. I have tried this of and on for like… 6-7 months now and i seem to never get Future pinball to work, unfortunately.

Is this something you can use for this ? http://pinball.weilenmann.net/docu/DirectOutputWIP/pbx.html anyone?
I have seen multiple videos on youtube where the DOF if running “light shows” upon attract mode. But i can´t find any info about it in how to do ;)

Edit: I have now reinstalled, Vpinmame, B2s, VPX , everything except for Pinup Player. And isolated the issue to that it has to be somewhere in pinup player.
i am to new to this to re-install pinup player, in case everything i have added there just disappears, i know that my media and such don´t dissapear, but like all the info, alt name tags and so on…  it is weeeeeeeks of work ;) . I cant risk that. Any idéas here? Or should i go for a re-install.

Hi! Yes, i have did that. Thing is that…

This is very strange, and i have tried like everything for soon a week now ;/
Can it be something that i missed in the “launch script”. i use the one you gave me last time.

START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 30 10 60 “Visual Pinball Player” 5
cd /d "[DIREMU]"
if "[RECMODE]"=="1" (
START /min "" vpinballx.exe "[DIREMU]" -DisableTrueFullscreen -minimized -play "[GAMEFULLNAME]"
) else (
START /min "" vpinballx.exe "[DIREMU]" -minimized -play "[GAMEFULLNAME]"
)

If i start a Ultra DMD Table from VPX the DMD is shown on PINDMD V3

If i start a Ultra DMD Table from POPPER the DMD is shown on TOPPER
But if i start a regular table from POPPER the DMD is shown on PINDMD V3

When it comes to the DMD attract files ( i did exactly as in your tutorial). All the .mp4 attract for dmd is shown in Topper when i am in attract mode for the Pinup Popper. So i can´t get the attract movies from dmd to show on the Pindmd v3 as it was before ;/

I post everything here, and maybe you can see something that i can´t.

Thanks! I have now did this, i remember i did this for some months ago aswell, and it worked until the Pinup Popper re-install.
I have made a fresh install of the XDMD and i followed the instructions on the site you linked.

The thing that happend now, was that the “intro logo with the squrrel” is frozen on the Ultra DMD and it plays as usual on the topper.  S

I cant just get the topper “ultra dmd” to (stop showing on topper) and the dmd to play on the Pindmd v3 where it should be ;/

Oh i would love to try this table! When it starts up though, it is dark and the pink dices flashes, but then it don´t happen anything more ;/ the table don´t start for me. Maybe i am missing a ROM or something?

Thanks! Now it works again!
I dont have the option to choose pinsound now, but i can live with that.

But, now Pinup Popper don´t show “dmd attract” .mp4 no more. ;/
just the Pindmd logo is showing

i have right settings, Real dmd TRUE, and DOF TRUE and all that ;)

randr, Yes i did the same from Terrys´ tutorial this install as well. But still no transparency. Last time i did the excact same thing, loading animation where transparent. I guess this is a Nvidia issue. I tried to re-install to default + added the stuff that Terry showed in the tutorial. But nope didn´t work either.

David, haha ok, proud to be the worst! ;)  But i have added stuff for alt run Pinsound + the Disable fullscreen thingy that you gave me on Discord ;)  So i guess something is messed up here…

i guess i can remove something but i dont know why,.
this is the Launch Setup script:

SET FSMODE=
IF “[RECMODE]”==”1” (SET FSMODE=-DisableTrueFullscreen )
IF “[CUSTOM3]”==”NOFS” (SET FSMODE=-DisableTrueFullscreen )
START /min “” vpinballx.exe “[DIREMU]” %FSMODE% -minimized -play “[GAMEFULLNAME]”
START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” 10 10 60

rem Launch script:

if “[ALTMODE]”==”origsound” (
REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\[?ROM?]” /v sound_mode /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\[?ROM?]” /v resampling_quality /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
)

rem Close script:
rem Reset sound mode
IF “[ALTMODE]”==”origsound” (REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\[?ROM?]” /v resampling_quality /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
IF “[CUSTOM1]”==”pinsound” (REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\[?ROM?]” /v sound_mode /t REG_DWORD /d 2 /f
)
IF “[CUSTOM1]”==”altsound”
REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\[?ROM?]” /v sound_mode /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
)

START “” “[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe” 30 10 60 “Visual Pinball Player” 5

cd /d “[DIREMU]”
if “[RECMODE]”==”1” (
START /min “” vpinballx.exe “[DIREMU]” -DisableTrueFullscreen -minimized -play “[GAMEFULLNAME]”
) else (
START /min “” vpinballx.exe “[DIREMU]” -minimized -play “[GAMEFULLNAME]”
)

And also btw. The “loading animations” is not transparent no more, so i don´t know what happened here with my reinstall.
i have “32 bit” in color depth (Resolution) + Dynamic Range Full 0-255 (Video Color Settings) from Nvidia Control Panel.

+

In global settings (Pinup Popper) i have Hue 140, Sat 120, Lum 2, and Red 1, Green 2 and Blue 3.

And i checked the bracket for “Transparent” for Wheel ARC and Loading, and they are on the excact CustomPos. The WHEEL ARC is transparent, but no “loading movies” no more….

i have messed something up here….. ;/ sorry to bother you with this.

Randr, i use the default launch script as i always had and it has worked for me until now so i don´t know ;/ I have tried to find this thread you talking about but can´t find it, if you know where it is i would appreciate a link ;) if you know where it is.

David, i understand, but when i load tables in Visual Pinball X they load as usual. So they load. I have rebooted, and same error on first try when i load a table from Pinup Popper, VP9 and FX3 load tables without the error though, so something is wrong with VPX i guess. I think i will have to re-install some things here ;) thanks for trying to help me as always you guys are very kind to me ;)
