Okay, thank you! I'll test it out.

I'm assuming I'll still need to add the db2s lines to the script, right?

Where do I download dof and the configure file?

icpj:  I still think something else is causing your frame rate issues, that really is a good enough.  Is this test done right from VP, or from a front end like HyperPin?  Also, with the vp 990, what are your settings in video options for FPS limiter and Max Prerendered frames?

[ICPjuggla]

I did the test right from VP.

I have it set at
FPS limiter 180
Max pre-rendered frames 2

Then on the table options part what seemed to run the best was v sync at -3 if I remember correctly.

I tried many different configurations and #'s and what's posted above seemed to give the best results.

This test was all done with Hurricane with db2s, without the db2s at the same setting the table ran smooth as butter.

Maybe I need to look into assigning programs to a specific core using a core program. But I'm not really sure how all that works. I'm not a computer programmer just a pinball enthusiast who likes to help and build tables. :-)

I don't want to muddy up this thread, can I offer suggestions via pm ?

I got dof installed today, when I cycle through tables the plugin button on the backglass doesn't save.

Any ideas as to why?

[arngrim]

make sure you have latest version of b2s installed the 1.301

 

and in the B2STableSettings.xml you need these two lines in bold, which should be the same than the options of the gui, but i always trust more the config files instead of the gui

 

 

 

<B2STableSettings>

  <ArePluginsOn>1</ArePluginsOn>

  <ShowStartupError>0</ShowStartupError>

  <LogPath>

  </LogPath>

Got it loaded, adding the 2 lines in the XML worked. thank you...

Now scrolling though hyperpin I've lost my lights, dof is shutting off my .bat files.

How do I fix that now?

Huh? Why would DOF affect the batch files? That's a good question, you got me. In saying that, if you ever switch over to win 7, that may be reason enough to test pinballx as it's more win 7 friendly.

[ICPjuggla]

Yes exiting out of a table set up with the db2s commands in the script dof shuts down the batch files for my lights scrolling though hyperpin.

If I use a table without dof or db2s appon exit everything works fine.

[arngrim]

can't help, i switched to pinballx months ago and i am very pleased with it

[tttttwii]

ICPJuggla, I had similar issues and switched as arngrim to pinballX. Everything works better now ... I can really recommend.

[ICPjuggla]

Thx, I'm going to stay with hyperpin for now. I've got a lot of time invested in it and like the interface.

I've figured out my lit buttons in hyperpin scrolling.

i deleted hyperpin  yesterday , it was hard to press the del key but pbx is sooo much better in lots of ways .
