Thalamus Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 That error is something we often see when "force fullscreen" is active under video preferences, and ddraw in the registry is NOT set to 0 for the rom. The .net error. I have a feeling I saw it myself running your tester not long time ago, but, I just jumped over to the one that blacksad made.

outhere Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 After reinstalling the original backglass 1301.... It worked fine with VPX whether force full screen or not with ddraw off or on Didn't they fix that ddraw problem with the newer VP-10.6 software? I am running VP10 version 3592 https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/vp-10-6-beta/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Thank you outhere. This was all new to me and needs to be tested ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Wildman Posted February 12, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted February 12, 2019 ok the force full screen did the trick for the rom error.. THANKS but i went back to 1301 backglass server and it did work fine in vpt but not in vpx.. and i am running 10.6 beta so something is broke somewhere in vpx im thinking.. will try different versions later when i get home from work...Thanks for the help so far guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Wildman Posted February 13, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted February 13, 2019 ok after some testing it seems to be the table that is the issue.. other vpx tables are fine it has something to do with the solenoids , it lights all of them up..so say if i made a bg with flashers they will flash all the time then crash.. I can make it with the vpt version but i dont think it will work with the vpx version,,to bad ? its a nice HI REZ SCAN I will build it anyways and maybe somebody can figure out whats wrong ..

Thalamus Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 That sounds like a scary table to run with DOF ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Wildman Posted February 13, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted February 13, 2019 yea defiantly the table I just tried it with my existing BG and it flakes out.... puzzles me why nobody else has had this issue... maybe its just me ???

outhere Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Are you referring to this VP-10 If so the DOF worked fine... I have over 20 solenoids and a lot of lighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hmm. I've played that table quite a lot too and haven't noticed any problems. I saw that it was that rom in the picture and though. Ah. He is just showing us another example of the problem and want to keep the table secret until release. Guess I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never seen that on any other table with Dof .. those lights are only showing the rom calls I shouldnt see any Dof related stuff.. you should only see up to 28 solenoids for that table.. when you run the bg you will notice all the flashers not working right ?

Thalamus Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Maybe update your dof config ? I might be wrong on this but I had a experience a while back where Avatar didn't work as it used to. I could not get the undercab leds to work. I knew that I had downloaded the dof config several times since then. I changed it into complex mode ( maybe another term is the correct one ) and it started working again. Then I went over. Grabbed me a new one and I could then switch between the modes. Both worked. So, who says the dof config tools is bug free ? It is after all written by people and we all know that we are not perfect - any of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outhere Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I did more testing I believe this game requires 1303 backglass to work correctly Your tester will not work right with the 1303 version of the back glass I always get this error If I use blacksad backglass tester with 1301 all the solenoids light up With the 1303 backglass and blacksad tester the solenoids do not light up unless I play the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
