Definitely move to the latest EXE available before we look too much further.  There was a FP memory fix in there that I believe addressed the sort of error you are seeing. 

[Baronir2d2]

Ok, I just downloaded version 5.1, unzipped, unlocked the dll and put the .exe file as administrator, the error persists.

 

So I open the FPloader.exe error occurs ...

 

See the end of this message for details on invoking 

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

application or computer (machine.config) must have the

jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.

The application must also be compiled with debugging

enabled.

 

For example:

 

<configuration>

    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />

</configuration>

 

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception

will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer

rather than be handled by this dialog box.

OK, the full message jogged my memory .... I'm still asleep on this Sunday morning.

 

You need to update your .Net framework to the latest.  You are missing an essential .Net method for the memory scanning.

[Baronir2d2]

OK!

 

I updated .net and is now running FP perfectly with DOFinx ..

 

Thank you so much...

 

 

Last thing, can I run my old ledwiz tables with doflinx active?

I've never tried.  Only one potential problem comes to mind, DOFLinx will determine that there is no FP link code and start into keyboard intercept mode.  You may have two things trying to fire your flipper toys.  This will not cause damage, but may be a bit weird.

 

You could of course assign L_FLIPPER_KEY and R_FLIPPER_KEY to unused keyboard keys thus effectively disabling keyboard intercept mode.  If this worked you could get fancy and have your front end do a Run Before and Run After message via DOFLinxMsg or similar to disable / enabale the keys.

Yup.

 

When running both, FP Led-Wiz and DOFlinx will "take turns" and it can get goofy.

 

DDH69 is on the money. either set your default "key to output" Flippers to not work at the same time (this doesn't effect your DOFLinx enabled FP or PFX2 tables), or setup another "system" in PBX called something like "FP Led-Wiz only" and have it send a MSG or use a SUP file with DOFLinx that disables the flippers for only these tables,etc...

 

A few ways it can be done.

If I don't have any toys in my pinball cabinet, am I able to install DOFLinx in order to play the DOFLinx tables or will I mess up my system?

[Outhere]

I don't believe you need DOFLinx to use the modded games...

if you have nothing in your setup (hardware) for DOFLinx to detect it will not work anyway

As per the other thread where you asked this, just install the DOFLinx.vbs file into FP and all will be well.

[Chaffee1921]

So I posted on this topic earlier about installing DofLinx and I went ahead and installed DofLinx and made sure I had a copy of the VBS Script placed into a Scripts Folder in the Future Pinball Folder. This enabled me to have some of the previous FP tables open through Pinball X that were getting an error message before, but everything was running really slow and the ball was huge on the playfield. Basically the physics were off. I realized that I was not running FP 2.7 physics so I downloaded and replaced my FP.exe and now the tables are failing to load again. They just get stuck, no error message. When I tried to open one directly in Future Pinball, the positioning was way off and I had to turn off Arcade Mode in the Rendering settings to even get the table to load properly. The physics are correct but I'm basically viewing a desktop version of the table and it's just not the same. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong? I followed Terry's original post to the letter. The only thing I haven't been able to do is configure my DofLinx.ini, but it may be set up correctly already (there was a note about having it always run in the background with Pinball X). 

 

There were also two tables (Adam's Family Gold & Pirates of the Carribean/both SLAMt1lt's creations) that still didn't load after getting the DofLinx.vbs into a scripts folder. Any ideas why these two were different than the rest? 

 

Sorry for the long reply. I'm a noob at all this but trying really hard to get some nice tables working on my cabinet. 

[latin625]

Thanks,

 I had to rebuild my machine and I can not remember how I got Future pinball to close with PBX.  does any one have a solution?  I tried AHK to send mapped key , but it does not work.  Only pressing on the keyboard escape key works.

[scampa123]

@TerryRed how do you start DOFLinx at startup?

 

are you doing something in the PinupPopper emulator script?

 

are you starting/stopping DOFLinx each time Future Pinball is launched and exited?

 

Thank you!

[scampa123]

Wait...I got it.... I was having issues because DOFLinx actually differently for me if I run Future Pinball tables outside of the PinupPopper front end...

 

outside of a front end it seemed as though I had to exit DOFLinx and reload Bam and Future pinball and DOFLinx to get everything to work

 

if I launch DOFLinx before launching my Popper front end, all works well.  My leds light for the front end, VisPinX, Future Pinball tables....it just works!
