The latest release of DOFLinx can be found here https://github.com/D...ases/tag/V10.03

 

The key for the V10.xx releases are:

- Commencement of the continuous improvmeent for FX back glasses, thanks BMajor

- A LOT of new MAME files, the vast majority of games now covered.  Still only the most popular with real time scores, but do ask if there is one you really want looked at

- Updated DotNet version

- Much faster DOFLinxTrigger for Pinball FX / Midnight / Infected Mushroom Pinball

- Vestaboard and Side kick for Pixelcade

- Introduction of DOFLinxCommon.dll for more shared code with Linux version

 

For those using Pinball FX back glasses, there are a new set here https://github.com/D...releases/tag/V9 with more updated back glasses coming soon.

 

As always, if you like it, and can afford it, a donation to help with ongoing development costs is always appreciated. https://www.paypal.c...d=YEPCTUYFX5KDE

10.0 13/7/26

- Move to DOFLinxMsg to .Net10 and a common code base for Win and Linux

- I have retired the 32 bit version from the release zip, yell if you really need it, but I will ask the "why" question.

- Make more use of code shared between platforms by creating a DOFLinx specific library, DOFLinxCommon.dll

- Drop loops to 1 when setting PIXELCADE_REPLACE_LED_MARQUEE_AFTER_ANIMATION=1

- Update DOFLinxTrigger to V3 and about 500x faster.  Replace DOFLinxTrigger.dll in your Pinball FX, Pinball FX Midnight (Pinball M) and Infected Mushroom Pinball folders

  If you can't remember where it is then either do a search from Windows Explorer, or

  from a command prompt type, without the quotes "dir /S c:\DOFLinxTrigger.dll"

  and replace all instances with the new V3

- Add DOFLinxTrigger version checking for Infected Mushroom Pinball
