Thanks for the reply! I actually saw that one before posting, even looked at the utility, but didn't think about creating AHK files to launch/kill it. I will look into that since I'm thinking you would know if PinballX natively supported what I'm looking for.

Hi all, I'm continuing to tinker with the PinballX frontend on my work in progress pinball cabinet. I'm loving it so far! Thanks to Tom and all the community members that have made this possible. I would like to play an ambient audio file in addition to the currently selected table's audio while browsing the installed tables. I see there's an "Ambient" folder in the "Media" folder, so I placed a WAV file in there, but it is only played for a brief second or so when I switch from one table selection to another one. I think I read somewhere in the forums here that it will only play when no audio file is available for the selected table. I thought about running an external media player when PinballX is launched, but I don't know if there's an option in PinballX to shut down the player when a pinball table is launched, then to relaunch it again when you exit the table and return to PinballX. Can anyone suggest a way to do this? Thanks! Tommy

Is it possible to show an image or video during the PC and Windows 10 startup process? I'd like to see nothing but the image/video until PinballX takes over. Thanks for any help!

Hi all, I just finished building my pinball cabinet a couple of months ago. I started out setting up PinballX with the 69 Pinball FX2 tables I had previously purchased. Thanks to a lot of great community members, I found outstanding backglass and playfield videos and wheel images. However, I had difficulty finding color DMD videos that would work with my Pin2DMD display. I don't know if this is a common problem for Pin2DMD owners, but I created videos for the FX2 tables I own and wanted to share them in case they are useful to others. I've also attached one of the videos as an example. I know a lot of folks have moved on to Pinball FX3, but I've held off until they work out the issues I've read about with cabinet support. I've uploaded the videos to the PinballX FTP site in the "/-PinballX-/Other Uploads/TommyBee/Media/Pinball FX2/Real DMD Color Videos" folder. There is a "Readme.txt" file there that explains the contents. To use the videos with PinballX, copy the contents of the "NO_TITLES" or "TITLES" subfolder on the FTP site to your PinballX's "Media/Pinball FX2/Real DMD Color Videos" folder. Enjoy!
