Hello! I really hope someone can steer me in the right direction-- been tearing my hair out trying to figure this one out...

All my tables load my leds and solenoids/toys except a few select non-ROM games: Die Hard, Stranger Things, MF DOOM, Harry Potter--- I could have sworn these worked in the past. 
Can't for the life of me figure out why now these aren't loading any dof functions.  The tables load fine otherwise-- puppacks and everything else-- just no DOF.

If there something I might be forgetting to do to get these particular tables to work? Any suggestions or ideas?

This has been solved. A user named classicradios suggested going into the registry and and making sure that ForceDisableB2s was set to 0 and not 1... so I went right ahead and did that-- and EUREKA-- all the tables that didn't have dof before, loaded up perfectly! Hope this might help someone that's facing that same issue.

This is why I love this community. I was having the same problem and was really thinking it was my dof config settings that causing my issues but I couldn't figure out what would cause it. After a little searching on this topic I find this post and yes it also solved my issue. Thanks to all those who support and provide their experiences to this hobby to help us enjoy it

Hi, I'm having trouble to use DOF on non-rom based tables aswell.

 

DOF works greats on 32b and 64b tables.

I've searched for "ForceDisableB2s" in registry, it's already at 0. I've set it to 1, same behavior.

 

As en example, here is my log for Futurama table from VPW:

It seems it doesn't find "futurama" config, but my configs files are up to date and I find futurama in it:

 

futurama,ON,ON,E120 BLINK 700 F200,E118|E121 BLINK 700 F200,E122|E131 500 I5
