Bonjour,

 

Mon fils viens de récupérer une petite configuration, un min pincab avec deux écran 1 playfield et 1 backglass

 

Il souhaite avoir des tables avec FlexDMD  (MAGO De Oz,UT99ctfGE, The Goonies Never Say Die, JP´s Deadpool ...) bref des super tables.

 

Elle se lancent toutes sans problème et elle fonctionne j'ai bien le B2S mais pas l'affichage des scores et animation 

 

il faut peut être faire un truc dans les scriptes ? 

 

Merci de votre retour et de votre aide

I guess you need to install FlexDMD and Freezy dmdext. The full VPX install contains all the files needed. Or you can download them separately and install them.

 

FlexDMD

 

dmdext

Hello JP
thanks for your return
But I still have the same problem

I have uninstalled "UltraDMD"

To copy
both programs
"dmdext-v1.10.2-x86"
and "FlexDMD"

but it still doesn't work

And I don't even have the ULTRA on the 'DIABLO' table anymore

Maybe I don't understand anything
Below is a copy of FLEXDMD

 

https://mega.nz/file/ME8g3BpK#AZByk817xr-09ZhSiobINy7s4LfNw2fwu_cR_9sGjcM

 

and all is green

I don't understand why it's not working

 

thank you for helping me

[wiesshund]

What does the flexDMD log, which is probably in the vpinmame folder, show?

 

 

Also, i am going to give you a copy of My working diablo table script

in case your flexDMD log does not show any errors

 

What you will do it open diablo in vpx editor

click file then save as, and save it as diablo-test or some other name

 

then take my table script, open it with note pad
select all (control + A) and copy it

In VPX click the script editor button
Select the entire script (control + A again) hit backspace
then Paste in my script

Then try to run the table, see if there is any difference?

Now if you have some kind of errors in your flexDMD log, this may not work at all.

[larouillas]

Thanks,

I just saw the newspaper

I have an error

I miss him
dmdscreen.dll

please give me a link for the .dll

[wiesshund]

dmdscreen.dll error you can ignore

that is an alias for dmddevice.dll when using lucky1's modified dmd extensions or some such

[larouillas]

Hello,

 

I have more errors but it still doesn't work

 

I don't understand anything FLEXDMD doesn't work and even UTRADMD doesn't work anymore

Below flexdmd log

Thanks for your help

[wiesshund]

Something is janky with your set up, and you also appear to have luckt1's dmd extensions installed?

 

you have in your DMD Device log

You got 2 DLL's loading, i think there can only be one?
You are either using luck1 or you are using freezy?

and your flexDMD never finishes according to you log

Ignore the messages about abnormal time between frames, my laptop is old
you never load any visuals, no font loaded, no background image, nothing is rendered ever.

 

 

 

 

Right now, i would say that your installation of freezys and flexDMD is all jacked up

 

Are you using Lucky1's DMD extensions?
You do not mention it any place?

If you are not and have no intention to, the 1st thing you need to do is clean out ALL of the instances of DMD extensions you find on the PC

and flexDMD as well

 

the XDMD folder in its entirety probably needs to visit the recycle bin, last time i had an XDMD folder, it was full of old deprecated and conflicting stuff

you should be able to search the PC and find no instances of dmddevice.*
no instances of flexdmd.*
and no instance of dmdscreen.* unless you are for some reason using lucky1's dmdextensions, which i cant help you with really

 

When that is squeaky clean

You need to unzip https://github.com/f...v1.10.2-x86.zip

to simply unzip that into D:\VP\VpinMAME
No place else....

Then you need to unzip https://github.com/v...8.0/FlexDMD.zip

into D:\VP\VpinMAME
then run flexDMDUI and click the 2 register buttons

 

Then you should be able to click on both the ultraDMD  designer tab and flexDMD designer tab and have the demo DMD's appear on the screen.
when that happens, you should be home free.

If you have a real PinDMD or Pin 2 DMD, you may need to enable the appropriate line in the dmddevice.ini
but dont worry about that until you can successfully run the demo DMD's from flexDMD which hopefully clearing everything out and starting that aspect clean will resolve.

 

And make sure that the PC does not still list ultraDMD as installed in add/remove programs

[larouillas]

good morning,

I have the demo DMDs from flexDMD

Great but still no DMD on the table

 

 

I have more than two screens in the pincab a playfield and a backglass

Edited by larouillas, 15 April 2022 - 08:56 PM.

[wiesshund]

ok, then flexDMD works.

 

 

I do not follow when you say you have more than two screens in your cab
then you say you have a playfield and a backglass, which is 2 screens only.

 

 

Did you edit the table script by any chance and perhaps mess something up in it?

 

Do you have any other ultraDMD or FlexDMD tables?

 

Some table you could test against, just off top of my head

 

Unreal Tournament
Star Wars Bounty Hunter
Heavy Metal

Haunted Hotel
JP's Deadpool

[larouillas]

I just have a playground and a rear window, so only 2 screens.

 

 

I did not modify the script of the table

 

 

I tested Unreal Tournament, JP's Deadpool and I don't have the virtual DMD

Edited by larouillas, 16 April 2022 - 07:20 AM.

[wiesshund]

do you have it disabled in dmddevice.ini by any chance?

[larouillas]

I don't know how to turn it off

 

 

 

 

Below is my file DmdDevice.ini

post solution so it can help others

[larouillas]

I turned in all directions But I finally found The problem

 

For your information it's a mini pincab with
a playfield and backglass window

And it works on 64 bit system.

 

The solution
it's with an old version
FlexDMD 1.7.0.zip and dmdext-v1.5.0.zip

I launched flexDMDUI.exe

Please note that I only installed the 1st DLL (FlexDMD.dll)
and I did not install the 2nd DLL

I then checked the two options FLEXDMD and ULTRA DMD

then I forced the positioning of my DMD on my backglass
through the DmdDevice.ini file

Here is my solution
