FX3 PupPack not showing up. Help?

[gezeebeezee]

For some reason my PUP Packs are not working on FX3 anymore. I had the ALIENS PUP Pack working, but now it doesn't seem to pull the videos up at all. I have FX3 set to "Borderless Windowed" mode and have an in-game script to push the FX3 window to the back. However, I don't see any of the PUP Pack videos anywhere. I have also tried the DOOM PUP Pack, which was also previously working. PUP Packs are working on other emulator systems (i.e. Future Pinball and VPX).

 

Any ideas?

Did you ever fix this? I'm having the exact same problem. Thanks.

I had this issue a little while back but maybe this is a new issue, I’ll try and check my setup and see. But I had a brain fart, there is an .ini file, I think dmd.ini or something, you maybe updated it recently, and in there, near the bottom I think, is a section that says PUP or something, make sure it is set to TRUE.

 

I think the .ini file is in mame folder, but don’t quote me.

 

that was the fix then, but maybe this is a new issue, I’ll have to load up my cab tonight and check. 
 

 

also, sorry I’m not more specific on file and location to check, I’m on my cell phone and not in front of my cab.

I posted a similar thread on Visual Pinball support - admin please delete - I have copied it below:

 

Hi 

 

first time poster and stuck on the above.  Has anyone got these to work using the PinballX front end - I have seen a topic at gamesex.com but it was not resolved.

 

I used their launch script suggestions

 

Launch Before Executable - dmdext.exe

Launch Before path - C:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME (or whatever)

Launch Before Parameters - mirror --source=pinballfx3 -q -d virtual --fx3-legacy --fps 60 --use-ini="c:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME\DmdDevice.ini" --pinup PinUp\[TABLEFILEWOEXT]  (i'm not sure in FX3 if the parameter would be TABLEFILEWOEXT, TABLEFILE or even DESCRIPTION)

 

However I get an error in my dmd.ext.exe saying Error opening pinup output. ROM name must not be null

 

Any ideas how to fix this.  I have tried various puppacks, Archer, Aliens, etc but none work.  I know it is setup ok as puppacks work with Future Pinball and VPX tables.

 

I have attempted using different combinations after PinUp\ including the puppack names, nothing works.

 

Also attempted changing the executable to pupdmdcontrol

 

Unsure if the pups on FX3 ONLY work with Popper installed
