DOFLinx working LEDS only intermittently even though process are found, updated to V909, updated Popper using the guide and wizard. I have a Pinscape only using the plunger and Generic USB Joystick with Joytokey.

 

DOFLinx device: 1 Initializing as Pinscape #1 with name=Pinscape Controller

DOFLinx device:1 Pinscape setup with 22 outputs

DOFLinx device: 2 Initializing as LEDWiz #1 with ID=0

DOFLinx device:2 LEDWiz setup with 32 outputs

Found valid process name of 'PinUpMenu'

Found valid process name of 'PinUpPlayer'

Found valid process name of 'PinUpMenu'

Found valid process name of 'PinUpPlayer'

Named process detected and startup commenced

Using full colour palette

122 colours added to the palette

Activating process disappeared so stopping things

Stopping ROM

This example worked but after closing and testing with other TerryRed Doflinx table nothing. Even closed restarted and tested again.

Any Advice would be great - Directoutput tester both x86 and x64 work. Thinking of uninstall DOFLinx and Directoutput and starting again. Or install Win11 and test but last time Win 11 slowed my machine down.

Can you post the DOFLinx.LOG from a session that does not work please.

The very first section of your post looks a bit like an extract from an edited DOFLinx.LOG.  If it is and I'm seeing this ...

 

Found valid process name of 'PinUpMenu'

Found valid process name of 'PinUpPlayer'

Found valid process name of 'PinUpMenu'

Found valid process name of 'PinUpPlayer'

 

Then you may have those processes in your PROCESSES= line in your DOFLinx.ini file.  If so, remove them, you do not want DOFLinx activating to monitor an emulator for the PinUp menu.
