  1. LOL, I'm finally back where I started. I got my DMD working. Somehow I was missing the dmddevice64.dll. Not sure where that went since it was working before. So the only thing wrong now is the dmd not showing on screengrabs like in the first post. I'll live with it lol. Thanks guys, for all of your help.
  2. I just used the one you linked to and it seems the version you linked kills FlexDMD. In other words I don't have a working DMD. It's not a form to back issue, or behind anything, the DMD just doesn't come on. I'm going to post at vpf because it's a vp issue. I went all the way back to 10.8 Beta 4 without it working. Open a table (Bleach) in 10.72 and I have a dmd as normal.
  3. I don't think it was the GL. I think it was the normal 64 bit, but I don't know which revision because I have to name it PinballX.exe for my setup. If I rightclick/Properties it says 10.8.1. I'm still having DMD issues, but I now think that's the .exe also. I read somewhere about the new versions breaking flexdmd somewhere, but I don't know if it was ever fixed. The problem is authors seem to insist on using the latest- even if it's not ready. I don't want to have to upgrade everything just to run a new table.
  4. Ok I was finally able to download an older version. That's a weird way of doing it, I thought it was taking me to the newest version constantly. I was trying to figure out what step I was missing. After all this BS I finally nailed down the problem..... I tried changing the key- nothing. I tried getting the newest version, previous version- nothing. It turns out it was VP doing it! I tried another VP version and it finally gave me both screenshots. That'll teach me to upgrade lol! Thanks to Mike da Spike and Scutters!! Both of you guys are great and I know these things can be frustrating from the other end of things. 😎
  5. I tried changing the screengrab key with no success. I didn't think it would do anything but the table I tried looked like it paused when I hit "P". I figured it couldn't hurt to try it. Next I'm going to try uninstalling/reinstalling. I'll name my old Pinball X folder PinballX old (I have a backup anyway), and I'll find the registry key and copy that as well. I saw the PDF in my Pinball X folder but it only showed how to install/upgrade. Hopefully reinstalling will fix it. I have a very simple setup, I don't need all the bells and whistles. I mainly use it for the menu and media shots (I don't use videos).
  6. Can you please link me to the old versions? I'm in the threads, but I don't have a download button.
  7. I'll try that tonight. I know from previous experience that Pinball X won't overwrite existing media. If you already have a preview picture in there it'll just go to the screengrabs folder. I'm also going to try changing the screengrab key (currently P on the keyboard). I thought I saw the table behave weirdly when I hit it. I know P is pause in Mame, but I don't have Mame on this cab anymore. Although why that would be an issue now is a mystery. When I view older news threads I don't have a download button. I can't even tell you what version I upgraded from. I don't use a lot of the latest features. If I have my lists and screenshots, I'm happy (I don't do videos). I should have known better than to upgrade lol. After all, my 30 year old car still gets me to work every day. 🤣 (Although I think by you guys it's called an Escort MK2 Ultra).
  8. That was making me wonder too. I don't see anything in the log about a screengrab, but there it is. I tried again just now. Here's the latest. Target Practice 2 is the playfield scxreengrab. I had to rename because they can't both be the same name. I'm using 6.05. I'd like to try an older version to see if there's any difference, but I can't download anything in the threads as the threads are all locked for the older versions. log.txt
  9. Both. The screenshot displays as all black, and if I go to the folder and open it with Irfanview, it also displays all black.
  10. I'm not sure if I did something wrong. I downloaded the installer and installed it, 0.78 is the latest. I mirrored the above screen, and did a reboot. I did not do anything with the audio or the other one, I only configured the above screen and that's it. After my reboot I started Pinball X, loaded a table and took a screenshot. The backglass screen grab was fine, the playfield screen grab was all black. Log attached. Should I revert to an older version? log.txt
  11. I'm not sure if this is related or not but when I take screengrabs now the playfield image is black. I upgraded to 6.05 and I still have the issue, I saw something in another post about adjusting LAV settings. I don't know where to find those. I do have an AMD setup. I'm not sure if that helps.
  12. Correct Tom, it's working during the game, just hidden when I take a screenshot.
  13. I'll check my settings and see thanks. (Although I think it wouldn't be showing at all if it was disabled.) I never had a real DMD, just the setup you see above. (DMD on 2nd screen)
  14. PinballX.ini That's my screen grab. The DMD was visible during the game, but it didn't show on the screen grab. I have more than 1 game doing this. log.txt
