Hi There,

On a Windows 10 system I have followed all tutorials by TerryRed and also the first one by NailBuster.  All great videos - thank you.

 

Everything was going fine until I wanted to play a table with videos.  In the shortcut for the PinUPPlayerB2SDriver I have both B2SServerPluginInterface.dll and PinUpPlayerB2SDriver.dll.

 

The problem is I only see one single B2S Server Plugin for DirectOutput V 3.1.7011 ).

 

The shortcut for PinUPPlayer goes to V:\PinUPSystem\PinUPPlayerB2SDriver.

 

DMDDevice.Ini has the following...

 

[pinup]
; if enabled, send frames to PinUP.
enabled = true

 

I've chekced my log and the PUPLOG when I run a game with no files says...

 

20190826 16:33:51 Open called
20190826 16:33:51 Set Game Name thread twenty4_150
20190826 16:33:51 Start Thread Matching
20190826 16:33:51 create PuPCap
20190826 16:33:51 Init Game name:twenty4_150
20190826 16:33:51 No PuPCapture found:  nothing to do
 

...so I run walking dead...

 

20190826 16:37:36 Open called
20190826 16:37:36 Set Game Name thread twd_156h
20190826 16:37:36 Start Thread Matching
20190826 16:37:36 create PuPCap
20190826 16:37:36 Init Game name:twd_156h
20190826 16:37:36 Create Object Display
20190826 16:37:36 imagedir:V:\PinUPSystem\PuPVideos\twd_156h\PuPCapture
20190826 16:37:36 num images 66
20190826 16:37:48 Free Object Display
 

...this tells me that this is actually working !

 

I think the single fault is I cannot get the Plugin Showing for B2SBackglassServer instance as only the Direct Output plugin shows from TerryRed's tutorial.

 

And advice would be really apprichated.

 

Thank you.

Hello All,
 
I wish I had made the effort to thank everybody in this wonderful community before I require help with an issue I am having with PinUp Player.  I'm more or less a noob as I have been playing around with PinballX and PinUp, I have 3 old screens arranged in the relevant orientations and I'm having a lot of fun!  So, thank you to all the developers/contributors, there is some talent out there making a man going through a midlife crisis very happy by enabling me to relive the fun I had in arcades as a youngster!
 
On to the issue:  I had the previous version of PinUp running as I wanted on all three screens. It’s fantastic BTW.  I upgraded to the new version but now I can’t get it to output to screens 2 or 3.  If I drag and drop the ‘template’ to another screen when I click save it moves it back to screen 1.  I have uninstalled and installed again but it hasn’t made any difference.  Apologies if this has previously been answered but I have looked honest.  Any ideas?  I’m talking specifically about PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays.bat.
 
I really want to continue with PinUp as it looks like it has more bells and whistles than anything else and I have been really happy with it this far.
 
Thanks again!

With PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays.bat

When setting up your screens did you try refresh video or quick position then save

Hi, thank you so much for getting back to me.

 

Yes, I tried both.  Quick position 1,2 and 3 all appear on screen 1.

Try this

What you might want to do is rename PinUPsystem folder to something like PinUPsystem-old

Then install the new stand alone 1.40

http://www.nailbuste...d=install_guide

then update to 1.41 -- Then 1.42

http://www.nailbuste...Atx6JJXIdP9jpCw

 

After you have it Set up then just copy over all your information for the games

I have looked high and low and cannot find anything about how to pause a game during play. I could in Pinball X, but I see nothing for PinUp system. Nothing to map to in controller set up. It always quits the game.

 

Thanks

When running pinup popper launching future in all on exit it flips my screens. My popper and dmd are now on my back glass
This only happens with future pinball not visual pinball . This was after I changed my future pinball setting now it flips my screen when I come out of future pinball back to pinup popper my dmd and topper are on my back glass and back glass is on my DMD screen. If I evict pinup system and relaunch its ok until I play future pinball

BUT.. no Backglass video at all.... i even checked in the Pup folder, no backglass video found, so.. how the hell this one works to ppls i dunno XD :)
Tron:Legacy folder... all versions are the same...    ... only the trn_174h folder version have the proper backglass video, but no table around able to make calls to this folder/files...
