Not sure if this is a Hyperpin, VP, or Virtuapin encoder issue. In Hyperpin when I try to exit a VP table I get the VP (exit) menu instead of the Hyperpin exit menu. How do I fix this?

 

Running FPlaunch also.

 

Mounting location

 

From the front:

 

[zebulon]

Change the exit button value in hyperpin to "e" instead of "esc"

[Hyper]

Change the exit button value in Vpinball.exe into "Q" instead of "E"

[zeenon]

So let me back up a little....before I rcvd the plunger kit I was using a keyboard and everything works (and still does with the keyboard). Short press on the keyboard brings up the menu, long press exits the table. Now on the virtuapin encoder I think it may be mapped to ESC??? I didn't see a way to change it in joy.cpl but I'll look again.

 

VP has the default 'Q' for exit.

[koadic]

You need to adjust the hyperpin settings.ini to use joy8 for the exit button instead of 'E'

[zeenon]

Koadic, Can you expand on that a little? I put Joy8 in a few places in the settings.ini but it pulls the hyperpin exit and the VP exit at the same time. Z

[zeenon]

Oh so close now.......

 

I changed the up/down/enter keys to the below highlighted and now I can navigate in the exit menu.

 

[FPLaunch]
exitEmulatorKey=Joy8
exitScriptKey=q & s
exitKey=Joy8
exitKey1=p
enterKey=1
enterKey1=Joy9
upKey=LShift
upKey1=Joy10
downKey=RShift
downKey1=Joy2

 

I put Joy8 for exitkey and exitemulatorkey and that pulls up the exit menu, but the only issue now is it also pulls the VP exit menu. So at this point I have the ability to exit but not pause. The VP exit key is set to the default 'Q'.

[lowepg]

I was having a similar issue- resolved that- now visual pinball crashes exiting to hyperpin on nearly every table :-(

[Noah Fentz]

That would be a software issue, not the fault of the plunger kit. We intentionally used the same profile as the Nanotech kit to make it an easy swap out.

I have a setup that closes everything clean, except the occasional dB2S that crashes, even with the exit sub. Driving me nuts.

You can override the default keymappings used by VP by checking the box at the bottom, you will just have to manually assign the buttons as you would a generic controller... for example: Plunger - Button 1, Start - Button 9, etc.

OR

Just use attach it to a different input, like joy6/7, or joy14/15, and use that instead (VP won't care as it doesn't use those anyway)

Default Buttons:
Button 1 - Plunger
Button 2 - Right Flipper
Button 3 - Right MagnaSave
Button 4 - Volume Down
Button 5 - Volume Up
Button 8 - Exit
Button 9 - Start
Button 10 - Left Flipper
Button 11 - Left MagnaSave
Button 12 - Add Credit
Button 13 - Add Credit 2

To disable any default keys, you have to disable all of them, then manually assign them via the dropdown boxes, but the unassigned keys can be assigned regardless (6/7/14/15). As an afterthought, I might lump in Button 8 with the ESC key where you can disable it via the checkbox so you don't need to go through the work of reassigning the other keys... so 'checking' that box will disable the default ESC key and Button 8 keeping it from opening the exit dialog, you will have to use the other assigned keys (Button 8 will then become unassigned and you can map it to whichever key you want without overriding the default layout).

Edit: revision 597 and forward will feature this change (available in sig below)

Care to share that setup.

Of course! I just want to try to figure out the dB2S issue first.

With the below VP no longer brings up the exit menu, when exiting HP.

You're probably using a different version of FPLaunch.

Yea maybe. I believe I'm using the version just before the new beta.

Hmm, me too - I'm using the EXACT same hyperpin, fplaunch and visual pinball as you!

I'm wondering what the differences between our set-ups are that are causing all the crashes...

If our software setup is identical, hardware differences?

I've got their new plunger kit and a DMD...

Edited by lowepg, 18 June 2013 - 04:24 AM.

[Aaron James]

Maybe it's that NEW plunger kit...i have the older version I believe...and I don't have the real DMD, just the 3rd monitor for the DMD.

[lowepg]

Well, if the only differences are the display and the plunger kit.... Could be. It seems less likely the different display would be the issue, right?

It's not the only problem I've had with the plunger kit either.....

Oh, one other thing, are you running XP?

Edited by lowepg, 18 June 2013 - 04:34 AM.

[Noah Fentz]

It can't be the plunger kit, guys, they both use identical profiles in VP.

I got caught late at the shop, Paul. I have a setup for you to try. Will send it in the morning from the shop.
