@pezima wanted to keep you busy

 

Great ! 

[ebor]

That's what I do. I have the impression that the 'm' key is not intercepted by pinemhi_rom_monitor ...

Pinemhi_rom_monitor is launched as administrator

[makmak]

I use "m", too, no problem here. "m" not "M" ;-)

[ebor]

I tried both. I must be missing something

@pezima wanted to keep you busy

 

I have all the time ! 

[makmak]

I knew you couldnt stand being 2nd. Is it really fun "winning" every competition? Will lead to being lonesome...

btw, got my highscore by accident, there was a ball stuck during multiball. Given this i still suspect you are cheating ;-)

If you want .... 

 

if i would really cheat i would score higher again....

 

and sorry but I lose the first challenge mode 5 min. DnaDisturber won.

 

but why do I justify myself....

Seen the " ;-) " ?

[DnaDisturber]

Hi,
I can't start the 5 minute scratch mode 
I have shifted a button on the cab to simulate an 'm', if I use it on Notepad it displays an 'm'.
I have the pinemhi_rom_editor running in the background.
In the .ini, it is indeed the 'm' that is declared.
I open the GoldenEye table without launching it (rom gldneye), and my 'm' (with the button or the key of the keyboard) never triggers the little voice (before or after the Start).
If someone has an idea, I'm interested because this mode interests me a lot 
Thx

Have you tried another key to see if it works then?
If the pinemhi_rom_ monitor.exe is running you can already use the key....so yo don't have to start vpinball or your frontend.
Maybe you have the m as another key defined as well in the ini file?
Or maybe you changed it in the pinemhi.in and didn't stop the pinemhi rom monitor.exe and start it again.
The change only takes place after a new start from the pinemhi rom monitor.exe

Otherwise you can post your pinemhi.ini to see if something is wrong
Leaving your user and code out of course...

I see...

 

it's a wink ?

 

but that doesn't take away what you're saying....I don't like being implied that I'm cheating when I had a hard time getting his scores

 

maybe the translation google are not good and I didn't quite understand what you said....maybe

I don't think ced is cheating..i can see in the logfile that it took m quite some attempts (30 tries, sorry ced to make that public )
He's just so damn competitive
You gave him a good run for his money and it's not over yet !

Let's not use the cheat word anymore.
A little bit of taunting and teasing without that word is of course always entertaining to see...so don't stop the rivalry guys

This ";-)" stands for "one eye blink" as I understand it. Meaning is, dont take serious. Itll never be necessary to use unfair methods to beat me in pinball anyways. But one day my luck will beat you *blink* ;-)

[ced]

Thks DnaDisturber , and no problem for the logfile , I have nothing to hide.

 

the challenge mode 5 minutes are very hard , we can't do much against time

 

ok makmak 

 

[ebor]

Thank you for your help
I tried with another letter, the 'K' and I restarted the pinemhi_rom_monitor well. The process is well started as administrator.
I put my .ini just in case ...
Thanks

Keys are CASE sensitive i believe

 

so if you put K i think it wants upper case K

 

because my keys are j k and l

 

and if i send L nothing happens but if i send l i get a lady's voice

i can see in the logfile that it took m quite some attempts (30 tries, sorry ced to make that public )

 

 

 

30?

Only 30?

Hell i quit out of more tables than that, just to get a score that winds up being NOT worth submitting LOL

pssst Ced, when you kill vpx before the game ends, cause you know the score isnt what you want, it doesnt submit it, useful for maintaining the illusion of being a pinball god LOL

Hey gotta have our illusions

I tried to use ctrl+alt+del and kill pinemhi before uploading to hide my rubbish scores ,lol. Thats how I found out pinemhi does not show up in taskmanager sometimes.
Gonna play some rounds G'n'R (use your illusion ;-) now.

Bad player + idiot + bad luck: lost ball somehow somewhere on the playfield during multiball. Ball search wouldnt stop after drain :-( cry. But, i started two player accidentally as well...my oh my, better go surfing now ;-)

You should check your .exe files to see if they are new
Maybe didn't overwrite them or at least not the pinemhi rom monitor.exe
Maybe because it was still active when you did the new install

Ini file looks good

just hold Q or Escape before last ball hits the drain
VPX exits fully, and since the game did not finish and so wrote no score the NVRAM
No embarrassing score submitted.

 

The only downside is you may submit no score period
(cause they were all embarrassing, so i hold Q a lot LOL)
