Huge thanks to all who involved for this christmas present!

[malachi666]

do we need the new version of PinMAME?  Or is it included in this install?  Also, does this install have all the current .vbs files?

No, it's included. Yes, it installs all the vbs files. And much more.

[malachi666]

thank you!  I got it sorted out... working well!

[Slydog43]

wow this should be so great for new vp people, thanks

[toxie]

if you guys know more stuff that should be included (especially all DOF thingies, as i do not have a clue at all for this), just post it here, so we could add this for a next version.

Wow it installs UltraDMD? Does it fully register it? 

Amazing!

[toxie]

yup, it does.. it drove me insane for an hour, but yes, it does work..

[allknowing2012]

Before I dig too deep .. any ideas why my DOF would be broken after running this? The right click show plugins look to be fine.

[freneticamnesic]

Does it work when you run something like LED Blinky?

It doesnt work with dof test table - using a USB sainsmart and 8 relays. Have to start a square one and ensure windows is seeing the relays then work my way back..

the installer does not change any DOF settings at all. it just installs what is mentioned above.

or could the new installation of B2S have done this (i do not use DOF personally)?

 

arngrim to the rescue..

Feature request: could you include the b2s server or a similar logic into vpx?

This was requested so many times and can't be solved that easily. As long as VPM needs DirectX 7 there is no way to support two screens from one app. DirectX 9 has only rudimentary multi screen support built in.

[toxie]

but VPM is not needed anymore really, as we now can grab the DMD data directly. 

so it would just do the emulation/sound then..

[fuzzel]

I'm not a VPM expert so does VPM initialize DirectX even if it's not used?

[toxie]

i think so. but if this is a problem i can try to change it. at some point there should be a 64bit port anyway, and then all this dx7 stuff must become optional, and i don't think i wanna rewrite all that with dx9.

(the 64bit part will be scary :/)

[TimTheEngineer]

Just a little feed back.  On a clean win7 box the B2S installer requires the .NET4.0 framework, might want to add the .NET4.0 web installer for completeness prior to the B2S registration.  Thanks for all the hard work.

[arngrim]

if b2s was already installed before this installation, it may be that it is installed twice, and the plugin of b2s like DOF don't work anymore, b2s needs only one instance, just a thought
