  1. Just see this http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php/topic,168163.0.html?PHPSESSID=0s4so2k6pdb2ja810vdtikeeog I am guessing there is a little latency but looks interesting,
  2. Here is how to get the windows 10 theme back in windows 11 1. Install Theme Patcher: https://mhoefs.eu/software_uxtheme.php?ref=syssel&lang=en 2. Reboot 3. Get the windows 10 Aero theme from a Windows 10 Install. Located in C:\Windows\Resources. if you upgraded to 11 you can find this in C:\Windows.old\Resources
  3. Update 2024-01-14 Open Shell now seems to work perfectly on windows 11 and can replace the start button. I am therefore no longer recommending Start 11. I can see no mention of this for Open Shell (previously Classic Shell) anywhere but can confirm it now works perfectly with Windows 11. PS: Other than that my only other tweak was to restore the full context menu: https://pureinfotech.com/bring-back-classic-context-menu-windows-11/
  4. Early adoption at play. Hoping to get 5gb per sec from laptop to nas. Also ordered reading glasses for laptop install!! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZFK3BF8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CNCCSB5T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08ZD81HDR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085FZZ82Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I was hoping to get the Asus BE98 and it was briefly available Amazon directly and I ordered it. It was Amazon direct but not for delivery until March. i cancelled and went with the be96. Spec looks very similar other than second 5ghz band which with Intel wifi 7 cards for laptop and PC now available I didn't need. With the intel wifi 7 cards now easily available I hit the trigger. All due to arrive today (Sunday). No Merlin firmware yet but its just going to be an access point. Unfortunately means I also have to upgrade to Windows 11 from 10. No 6ghz support from Intel on 10.
  5. When the machine is booting up keep pressing the u key on the keyboard. Assuming you left most of the default options in instant sheller that will allow you to undo and reboot.
  6. Its fixed in 6.04. it was an error in the installer. You will have to manually remove flash.ocx from the PinballX install folder. That takes a little work,
  7. Not getting the error here. Fresh install of PinballX but not Windows. I'm betting its a missing VC runtime that I already have installed on this machine. I've done various tidy ups of the installer in recent times. Pretty sure that is the culprit. 09:18:19.70 19/12/2023: PinballX Core - Version 6.03 x64 09:18:19.71 19/12/2023: Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise 64-bit (32GB) 09:18:19.71 19/12/2023: Loading Settings 09:18:19.71 19/12/2023: Initialize Component 09:18:19.74 19/12/2023: Initialize Display 09:18:19.76 19/12/2023: Testing Flash engine. 09:18:19.83 19/12/2023: Loading PlugIns 09:18:19.86 19/12/2023: Looking for startup images
  8. Ill take a look soon. Last time I looked it was good on 64 bit but not 32 bit because of the Microsoft changes. Unless I messed something up and i can't recall making any changes but if its a new setup it could be an older missing MS visual C++ runtime. Cheers. Tom.
  9. Did you try a reboot? Device change indicates something being plugged in.
  10. Looking to remove any possible video or input lag GameEx will now lower its process prioirty to idle after launching an emulator. Fixes to the sync refresh MAME display feature. I revisited all this and looked at GroovyMAME usage on an LCD. It will work with GroovyMAME but on a 5 year old mini PC I reverted to vanilla MAME in my new Chewlix build, I incestigated all this again and other than going with a Mister, your best bet in 2024 is to go for a G Sync monitor for MAME for no tearing and input lag on an flat panel. In MAME attract mode the bezel will try to show the logo first if available rather than marquee. Looks mich nicer. View the full article

  13. Oh wait, so it is working your just not seeing the DMD. Yeah, this is probably to be expected in some cases. Sometimes windows wont capture DirectX.
  14. Hi itchigo. I do need to look at the screen grab code. There have been a few reports of it not working with backglass and DMD. Ill get back to you all as soon as I can. Cheers.
  15. That's fine and forgetting about the theft occurring against my product from wherever you purchased your "piece of shit" I understand. Its just if you want 1 on 1 personal support I think you should be prepared to pay for it and enough to cover the niche specialty expertise. Maybe you are? If so I apologize and please go ahead.
  16. So if anyone does want to help him/her I would try to remember its tough times and ask them to pay and get it up front. Of course if they want to try and help themselves a little they can get it for free as always.
  17. Honestly, adding tables is a grey area but i am sure people would help if you were willing to pay a good price for it but do you?. It can be fun for us but we don't all get a real kick of doing that stuff. We are not all suckers either.
  18. Id be happy to pay for it without the adware and spyware. I think they make too much money from it though.
  19. I'm still avoiding it. I got nothing running it right now.
