After less than 2 years of switching from tv to a qhd curved mo itor, I have finally purchased a non-curved monitor that should fit within my cabinet. The Asus Rog Swift PQ38UQ was on sale, and I was able to secure the last remaining unit. This is the only 4k non-curved monitor with a 144hz refresh rate that will fit within my cabinet. I intend to swap out my current monitor next week and will provide an update on the results. Attached is an image of the box already. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to @scutters for his prompt notification regarding the availability of the monitor last year. I am grateful for this assistance in facilitating the acquisition of this valuable asset, despite the subsequent impact on my financial resources. (Nah, just kidding. Scutterers has been helping me with my search for a monitor for at least 5 years now. So I'm really thankful for his help. Thanks mate!)

Found the issue, PinVol does not work if you launch PinballX as administrator.

In the mean time, I have purchased a replacement wiring harness so will be replacing (hopefully) just the J4 wiring (I really, REALLY DO NOT WANT TO REWIRE EVERY FRICKEN THING!). Stay tuned...

I think the PCB is good. I have isolated the issue to J4 and not either PCB. I may spring for the new Tank Stick as I have a birthday coming up in June if I can't get it fixed.

So I quickly tested the following. All install and work without issue. I downloaded with Edge and used the embedded Windows extraction. GameEx, GameEx Arcade Edition, PinballX, Lav Filters, Open Shell and Instant Sheller. So it seems there is maybe a naughty list for certain apps or this guy was talking shit! 7zip also also installed without issue. Windows 11, version 24H2 (26100.2) amd64 That is how it went for me. I tested with VPN inactive and using the normal pihole blocklist

It may not be exact but probably close enough. The pictures will still be in English but I think with the verbal descriptions it should suffice.

How to translate a PDF in Google Translate. If you have a PDF file such as an eBook or a document from a foreign client that you would like to translate to your native language, the best way to do that is using a human translator. However, if you need to use something online, you can follow these instructions to translate a PDF file in Google Translate. Access the Translate Document tool. Choose the language you would like to translate from and to. If you’re not sure what language your PDF file is in, you can set the input language to “Detect language.” Click Choose File and then the blue Translate button. Google will then translate the text. You will get a pop-up with the PDF file translated.

Initial triage via email from X-Arcade is pointing to a possible wire break or broken solder joint at the 4 point switch. It was not recognized by the firmware flashing tool. Also some issues with the Player 2 joystick and some of the buttons on that side. I examined the joints and they are solid. I then put back the original PCB and same issues noted on Player 2 side. Due to the very short wiring lengths to the PCB it is likely that I have screwed up a wire or two. But where? Nothing appears loose or detached. So I may have to pay for replacement wiring for the entire thing. Not happy.
