make sure you do NOT mix VPX 10.8.1 in your older VPX installation

What's New in Version 2.1.6 (See full changelog)

  • B2S Server v2.1.6 compatible with VPX 10.8.1
  • - B2SWindowPunch punched to big, now fixed.
  • - B2SWindowPunch can punch rounded edges. Third parameter control radius (cutterradius).
  • - B2SInit timeout can be controlled through res file (cuttertimeout)
  • - B2SScreenResIdentifier crash when changing checkboxes #132
  • - B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp unblock files while registering #64
  • - B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp clean up unused registry keys #169
  • - B2SServer should not produce unused registry keys #169

  • - Add back right click context menu on VPX #127
  • - ScreenRes files should searched first for the backglass and then VPX file name #163

Just updated to 2.1.2 and find that some 90's tables will either show the DMD and no Backglass or show the Backglass and no DMD when running under PinballX.  Is there anything that can "fix" this predicament?  Seems to work fine when running tables directly from VPX.

 

Hi,

I am not a Pinball X user myself and have no clue why this should suddenly be different from earlier releases... but I have seen Hauntfreaks mentioning the following for use with PinballX:

 

ATTENTION: AndyMcDandy has found if your using PinballX, you must say "NO" to the setting under "Display Settings" to auto position the B2S.... again set to NO....

Thank you Jarr but that setting had no effect.  First i started replacing backglasses to see if it might be latest Hauntfreaks version causing issues. Nope!  Then I updated to 2.0 version of LAH that VPW have released recently. Nope!  I then went back to LAH Balutito mod which is a VPX 10.7 version and runs the earlier lah_12 rom - Presto!  All working again.  It must be a combination of rom, VP version, PinballX and table.... Bizarre!
