right click the flexDMD dll, pick properties

make sure it is not blocked maybe?

[mazzaneo]

Checked all the files, none are blocked.

Weird one, I know.

[wiesshund]

what if you run flexUI as admin and try to register the DLL's?

[vbousquet]

Hi, this is strange since when you click on the register/unregister button, the application should ask you for administrator privilege (this application is a normal application that should not be run as administrator; it will request these rights only for install/uninstall after user interaction). So it seems, that this step is not being performed. I don't know what is going wrong here. Sorry

[mazzaneo]

I'll keep you posted on anything I find.

 

BTW: I have also tried previous versions of the program and none of them work.

 

Is there anything that needs to be installed prior to this working. Windows is fully updated with .net.

[wiesshund]

Freezys DMDextensions ver 1.8

 

possible VC++ runtimes 2017? and netframework ?

[mazzaneo]

SOLVED!
I updated my chipset drivers and BIOS and all is good.
Note: you may want to remember this in case anyone else has this problem in the future.

So guys, at my wits end and hoping someone has had experience and can help. So have FlexDmd up and running beautifully with the exception of a few of my tables, AMH specifically, I get about 1 min into the game and my pindmdv3 crashes and reboots. I’ve tried reinstalling the table, taking out the color DMD update, reinstalling Flexdmd, etc. wondering if perhaps it is just the brighter activations that is causing this or if I missing something. Really would appreciate any help as this is my fave table..l,thanks!

If you unregister flexdmd - taking over for UltraDMD - does it still crash ?

 Are using the latest version of AMH?
Which you will nave to get out of thalamus's repository
and paste over the top of the table's existing script.

 

Are you running the monochrome table or the color DMD table?
I am using the color table with thalamus's updated table script

 

i do not have a pindmd v3 though (or v anything for that matter)
does the device log why it crashes?

 

you could try unregistering flexDMD as ultraDMD

and re-registering ultraDMD to see if it makes any difference, though it probably should not, as a lot of people with pindmd's are running flexdmd

Pinball Wizard, that did the trick! Thalamus’ updated table worked!! Thank u soooo very much!

I agree with you, FlexDMD is really nice, and I'll be using it for my next update of my original tables. For the desktop I'll be using my dmd made with flashers, but for the FS version FlexDMD will be the default. I'll upload my original tables that I'm preparing when VPX 10.7 is officially released.

JP you do not have to do anything different for your desktop version
just use flexDMD for DT as well

You can display flexDMD inside the table, as well as outside.

You can even display 2 entirely separate flexDMD render threads inside the table (only 1 externally though, freezy only supports 1)

I know, but my DMD using flashers has better resolution And for the desktop I prefer to use that

not really sure i follow there?
You should get really good resolution normally, as long as the media is not "pre formatted" for a Dot Matrix
no masks or overlays etc.

 

Granted, i did not do the worlds best job putting it in there, and its also on my laptop, which aint great to start with but

external at bottom
2 internals, top left and one playing drive in theater on the backwall

Hello, I installed flexdmd and it seems to be running fine. However, whenever a game loads, the flexdmd window is hidden behind vpx. Is there a way to fix this?

[TheCandylandTater]

Nope, it is not in exclusive fs mode. Still hidden.

VPX folder\VPinMAME\DMDDevice.ini

 

; virtual dmd stays on top of all other windows
stayontop = true

make sure it says that in the top section of the file
