I'm trying to run the Spawn table, Spongebob, Timelord, Pirates Life Table. These tables use Flexdmd/Ultradmd.

I have the Ultradmd folders in the Tables folders. The DMD's work just fine.

The problem is when I open the table in Pinup popper I actually have to ALT-TAB to the playfield to be able to put coins in and hit start etc.

It seems like the b2s is taking the priority when the table is open. If I rename the b2s file to something different so it wont open the table runs just fine.

 

I also have The Goonies table which uses an UltraDMD/FlexDMD but this table runs fine I'm assuming because I'm using a Pup-Pack and not b2s

 

I have Exclusive Fullscreen on, all my files are up to date. Spongebob runs fine in just VPX. just in popper the b2s is selected in the ALT-TAB menu
Spawn was the same way but now it's doing that regardless if its open in VPX or Pinup-Popper.

 

Like I said if I rename the b2s file, the tables load just fine in popper. Except now my backglass is gone.

 

Any Ideas?

i have the same problems from ages ago, its the exclusive fullscreen mode that dosent get along with the flexdmd program, i cant play without exclusive fullscreen mode cause it lags hard, most pepole have top of the line builds so they just use it as it is, not my case, the only solution i found was to put a still image of the backglass and tell pinballY to show it instead of the real one, that way you can play these original flex dmd tables without having to do a alt-tab

I can play fine without exclusive fullscreen. but if i remember correctly i had to use it because a different problem was occuring so i had to edit the launch script of pinup popper.

I'll play around with that launch script maybe delete what i put in there because i honestly cant even remember what the other issue was.

 

Its not a huge deal. its 5 tables out of over 100. and they arent even my favorite tables so they wont get much play.

I have exactly the same problem and another one: When exiting FlexDMD tables, the B2S-Server keeps running.

Sometimes the tables just need to add a table exit routine to stop the b2s, vpinmame or the flexdmd. Something like this:

 

Sub table1_Exit

    Controller.Stop

End Sub

 

table1 is the name of the table, so on some tables the name may be different. Check if there is any _exit subs first

One of the tables with that behaviour is your Space Cadet.
