F1 in VPX 10.8

[daggeg]

Hi,

I haven't figured out how to get to the settings in 10.8 that I got to in VPX 10.7.4 (and prior versions) by pressing F1. I need to turn off the external DMD for a couple of games but don't know how to do that in 10.8.

Cheers

And why you don't do this directly with Vpinmame setup exe?

Start it, click test and search your Rom and then click game options. This is exactly what vpx opens with F1

And by the way, F1 in vpx.8 is working. Maybe you have "exclusive Fullscreen" active?

Ok, thanks. That may be the case, that the installation of 10.8 changed it to “exclusive fullscreen”. Anyhow, it’s easier to test what I prefer when playing certain classics whether I want to use external DMD or not.

That made the trick. Thanks.

I also use F1 as it is very convenient  to do while in the table. Why have to go and open vpin mame separately?

The latest builds of Vpin Mame have a bug that will not let you access  any setting in game F1, F3, F6. 

This really sucks but hopeful they will fix soon.

Where is the "Vpinmame setup exe" file located?

FINALLY FOUND A SOLUTION.

 

1. Download notepad ++ to edit .VBS

https://notepad-plus-plus.org/downloads/v8.7/

 

(or if you have a .VBS editor already, use that)

 

2. Open your VPMKeys.vbs 

Location:

\vPinball\VisualPinball\Scripts\VPMKeys.vbs

 

3. Go to

Const keyShowOpts    = 59 '(F1)        Show options

 

4. Change to another button like the example below or your choice. (the keys map is in that document)

 

Const keyShowOpts    = 50  '(M)        Show options

 

Save, load up and that should work.
