I do not understand the error message, because the thing it is pointing at is not a collection
and does not try to be a collection

It is literally just telling flexDMD to change the text color

 

But comment that line out, it will cause no harm other than no color change

see if table starts

 

just put a ' in front of the line and it will turn green

If I comment out line 262 and 267 (FlexDMD.Color = RGB.....) lines then it starts up ok. Maybe I have a bad version/install of flexdmd? I only just installed it for this game so I think its the latest.

I found this in dmddevice.log

I did experiment and comment out line, it made no difference, game still wouldn’t start.

That code is Greek to me. I’m not a computer guy, but I am learning.

If it made no difference, then something else is wrong
because if nothing else, it shoudl have made it blame a different line number

 

Make sure that you have NO vbs files, anyplace but in the scripts folder

might be an old vbs file wreaking havoc

[Redwings13]

That’s tomorrow’s homework. 
I’ll let you know tomorrow.

thanks

maybe I’ll send some more upside down pictures.

Should be 2 lines to comment out. They are close to each other.

What i do not get is, it is a command to FlexDMD

It is not part of a collection or an array, or anything that the error suggests it is or has become

 

So i do not know that actual cause of the error

but with vbs, sometime an error someplace else does a cascading failure effect, and last guy touched is 1st guy blamed

Looks like mine cleared up. I removed some files that looked to be left behind by an earlier UltraDMD install. I should have started my cab with a clean install but I used a PC that I had been using desktop vpx on quite some time ago and just updated it. Who knows what I had done to it then.

To put a little positive spin on this thread. Its a fun table and theme. But it made my wife peak into the game room to see what the cat and chicken sounds were. I laughed at her.

Hit those two drop downs in order from left to right, and you'll see movement number 4, dragon seeks path.

I totally removed ultraDMD quite a while ago, the entire dmdext folder, or what ever it was named, and all
It was giving me a different kind of issue, but an issue none the less, seemingly simply by existing
it would pick up on the dmddevice files there, even though i dont think it should

Also punted ultraDMD out of the registry entirely
And then my problem went away.

So could be a similar cause i guess

[Redwings13]

This morning I comment out lines 262 and 267. That seems to have fixed the problem, and I have a working flexdmd.

thanks for your expertise and time wiesshund.

FYI wiesshund I edited that picture in photos by rotating it 180 degrees and it still posted it upside down.

Yes, i do

This is a great upgrade to the original table.  I am having a issue where freezy virtual dmd has to be enabled for the flexdmd to be displayed.  The issue I am having is that the score from flexdmd and freezy are batteing each outer.

Hit F1 and turn OFF external DLL and show DMD in vpinmame
You do not need them to be on

 

Thanks kinda worked for me. The dmd pops up now but it is then hidden behind the video - do you know how to make the dmd show up in front of the backglass image/.video?

 

[wiesshund]

i dont know if the dmd will stay on top of the PUP video, i think the PUP video will keep trying to come to the front

you probably need to adjust your pup size to leave room for the DMD if you only have 2 screens

[DaaxPlays]

i am not able to get the ball to launch or even show up on the table. Anyone else have this issue? 
The table starts up /w puppack, i insert coin and press start but no balls comes out.
