These two ultra dmd tables gave a Could not create object: UltraDMD error I tried everything including thalmus XDMD files I then reloaded from a base win 10 image Re installed VPX 10.5 with the all in one installer installed to C:\Visual Pinball Installed the 10.6 beta and VpinMame 3.2 beta files Installed the freezy 1.7.2 dll's Again all of the rom tables worked fine displayed on the PinDMD3 Tried loading up Jaws Same error Loaded the pindmdcfg, clear, exe's they didn't work either saying pindmd not found Re labled the XDMD folder to old Installed XDMD using the latest installer Now Ultradmd.exe /c worked and displayed both a virtual dmd and identical display on the Pindmd 3 However when I would run Jaws now, the dmd display was blank but when I would exit the table I would see the virtual dmd for a second or two then it would close. At this point I tried Thalmus Xdmd files.could not create object Ultra DMD error Ugggghhhh this is driving me nuts., I am not trying DOF, Pinup player or popper, no front end at all just basic VPX and the dmd......

Oldschool4 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Have you tried freezy 1.7.1 dll's ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have gotten the virtual ultra dmd to show briefly when I exit the table (it's there but behind the playfield) but that's the best I have been able to get so far.

Krodak Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 Where I currently sit with UltraDMD. I have reloaded windows, ran the all in one VPX10.5 installer, copied the 10.6 beta files over. Copied the beta 3.2 vpinmame over. Ran setup and set the defaults to use the external.dll. Renamed all of the existing dmddevice.dll in all folders to .off copied freezys files 1.7.1 over into the vpinmame directory. I still get the ultradmd object not found error. I tried opening a admin cmd prompt and running ultradmd.exe /i nothing happens. Ultradmd.exe /c nothing happens. Checking the task manager there isn't any instances of Ultradmd running.

Krodak Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share Posted July 21, 2019 I have made some progress. I now have gotten rid of the error by renaming the XDMD folder to old and installing ultradmd into the c:\visual pinball folder. I also made sure I have renamed all of the dmddevice.dll to dmddevice.dll_off in all of the folders except for vpinmame. Now I have the virtual dmd displaying on the playfield. But still nothing on the DMD when running ultradmd tables. If I run ultradmd.exe /c from a command prompt it does display both the virtual dmd and in the pindmd. So ultradmd is working with the pindmd3 but not within VPX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krodak Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share Posted July 22, 2019 Thanks to thalmus this is now working for me finally. The last bits of the puzzle were that I needed to copy dmddevice.dll and dmddevice.ini from the vpinmame folder to XDMD (these are the freezy 1.7.1 dll) Then from Thalmus's archive here https://www.dropbox.com/s/ec2dl5qt4dr2t9w/dmddevice_for_pindmd3.zip?dl=0 xdmdnative.dll and xdmd.dll copy these over to the XDMD folder. Run ultradmd.exe /c to hide the virtual dmd and YAY success Thanks again to thalmus who provided all of the keys to making this last thing work for me.

FieryPhoenix Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Rather than start a new thread - thought best to follow on from here My Ultra DMD ran fine on my old PC - however I cannot get it to start at all following a new installation on my new PC I have downloaded the VP5 set-up, all folders installed and got the colour DMD's all working fine (which I thought would be the difficult bit!) I downloaded the UltraDMDSetup.msi - installed successfully in my C/ Program files (x86) however the UltraDMD.exe will not launch. I have tried launching it from my Visual Pinball / XDMD folder - will not launch there either. Double click and nothing appears (also tried running as an admin) So exhausted I actually set-up my old PC and and saved the UltraDMD and XDMD set-up files from there (testing they still ran when the . exe selected - it did!) and sent them over to my new PC to be copied and pasted there - again no joy Looked up some articles - tried to register it via running file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/RegASM UltraDMD.exe But states file not found?? The CMD (as admin) states "ultradmd.exe is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file At a loss what to do - obviously I feel I am missing a simple trick here I have also tried running the UltraDMD repair and a re-installation - no joy EDIT - Would add that I also re-installed into my Visual Pinball folder rather than the Program File (x86) folder - still did not work. Also deleted any registry entry associated with UltraDMD Any help more than appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FieryPhoenix Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Although the problems do continue Example - America's Most Haunted Load table - error VB Script - No UltraDMD found - I attempt to run anyway and then a Script Error - Line 743, Object Required UltraDMD Tried ensuring my UltraDMD is loaded first - no joy The table is in the same folder as the.GIF pack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
