Hello I am new to hyperpin so I am sorry if these questions have been answered but I cant seem to find any thing on this

I am trying to set up hyperpin so I can build a cab, I want to configure it with visual pinball, I dumped all my directb2s and jpg back glass files in the media folder, all my play field jpgs in the table images folder in media and all the wheel images in the folder and I configured the settings ini file with those folders and with my install of visual pinball and and the tables, I made sure that the table name matched that in the database xml and with all the images and back glass files, but when I try running hyperpin the images do not show up on either screen, When I try opening a table it gives me an error noise and error message but it disappears so quickly its impossible to read.

this is what it put in the log file

Have you tried just running your VP tables directly in Visual Pinball and does your D2BS backglasses open OK?

Hi, I'm just wondering why you went with Hyperpin vs Pinballx.  I'm curious.

I dont know that front end *but* why is it FPLaunch - is that Future Pinball launch routine or VP launch or is it just bad naming convention.

PinballX is the way to go.  If you want Hyperpin, make sure you have the latest FPLaunch release: http://www.vpforums....showtopic=23367
