It cannot find a matching rom. So the name ism't matching to anything. Think you need to update your INI with the 3.5 and 3.6 names

[wiesshund]

nope not it

correct path

restarted pinhi

 

nothing submits

 

Curse you Mike!

Odd. Your INI looks good to me (on first sight).
The game 'TRON: Legacy Limited Edition (V1.74)' has a rom name.
So not sure whats going on with your pinemhimonitor

[wiesshund]

Don't know, reinstalled it too from the 3.3.1 download
even tried running it as admin

Is it possibly not compatible with this?

 

add support for Hankin · vpinball/pinmame@aaa6676 (github.com)

[Mike DA Spike]

You said you use pinmame 3.7 ?? I use 3.6 from march this year and working fine.
According to your log, you got a nane from vpinmame and that should do some kind of lookup in the ini file to match the nvram name.
Is your INI corrupted or has some non printable characters or something.
I will check tomorrow (if I dont forget it) to install latest pinmame and check if that still works

[wiesshund]

you have my ini

i got it from DNA

It has something to do with the vpinmame version i would think

normally output looks like this

detected game with rom description :  Star Trek (Free Play rev. 3)

Your vpinmame version adds Vpinmame: to the windowname when starting it

 

P.S. I gave Mike your code

 

UPDATE : Yes definitely the vpinmame version you run
I've looked in the code
#ifdef VPINMAME
    snprintf(title, sizeof(title), "VPinMAME: %s", Machine->gamedrv->description);

 

it adds the VPinMAME: to the windowname

If you want to keep that one , there is the option of adding VPinMAME: with a space at the end before every entry in pinemhi.ini

Hmmm because of this request

B2SWindowPunch is a small tool which uses regular expressions to recognise window forms by its titles of DMDext, B2S Server and Pinup Player.
It works very well for all of them because they can all be identified by the name of the form using a regular expression like this:

These are the windows cutting from
^B2S Backglass$|^B2S Backglass Server$|^B2S DMD$"
These are the forms cutting:
^Virtual DMD$|^Virtual Alphanumeric Display$|^PUPSCREEN[0-9]+$

to get the same working for VPinMAME isn't working because it shows the internal gamedriver description in the title.

Would it be possible to put a text in the beginning of the string called "VPinMAME:" like this in (src/windows/window.c) :

// line 507 - 511
// make the window title
#ifdef VPINMAME
sprintf(title, "VPinMAME: %s", Machine->gamedrv->description);
#else
sprintf(title, APPNAME ": %s [%s]", Machine->gamedrv->description, Machine->gamedrv->name);
#endif

 

 

 

Let's break other people's stuff to let my tool work ...grrrrrr

This may also affect some pinballx stuff perhaps ?

3 weeks ago implemented

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Tell me it isn't true

If you could check if the new pinemhi.ini works before hiding that would be awesome

Haha you are a funny man wiesshund.
Now go for one that IS supported

But it looks like roms get recognized from pinemhi.ini this way

Retested thinking maybe you dont support tom and jerry?

Seems ok?
Check site?

Yep it works, site shows submission

@DnaDisturber

 

In the interest of making life a bit easier for you

 

could you split the INI into

pinhi.ini

 

and

 

game.cfg

 

and store the rom defs in game.cfg

 

then when i go breaking your stuff, you only have to update and publish a new game.cfg ?

[Mike DA Spike]

Nice catch DNA !
So double entries now for game matching ? With and without vpinmame in the name ?
I will check with latest vpinmame if all still works in pinballX as well
Again good catch

I dont think pinballX cares one way or the other?

table files dont change

[Mike DA Spike]

No, but during game launch it is detecting rom as well, and if thats on window namexas well, it is failing
