Hi Completly new to all this and I'm just testing out software before making my cabinet build (both cab and pc). I've got PinballX working "nicely" with VP, FP and FX2, got table booting up fine with single screen so far (my eventual aim is 2 screen + pinDMD3) But I can't for the life of me get PBA to work. The machine i'm testing on *can't* do DX11, the machine I'm going to make *will* be able too, so if thats a prerequisite I'll just have to stop the testing for now. This means I can't test with the FreeCamMod that I see lots of you use. When I try to launch a table, pinballX "closes" to black screen and then it just hangs for maybe 10 seconds, then the desktop is diplayed....PBA doesn't appear to launch at all? This is the case both via Steam and if I install offline outside of Steam. The XML file i have is just the one that automatically generates but i've attached here... This is my PinballArcade config setup... [PinballArcade] WorkingPath=C:\Pinball\PinballArcade Executable=PinballArcade.exe Parameters=-applaunch 238260 Process=PinballArcade.exe WaitForSelect=50 Enabled=True InterfaceVersion=3 I've tried with all InterfaceVersions but I don't think they are having any effect because the app just doesn't seem to execute? Here's the log from the last time I tried to just boot Mars Attacks I think... 18:28:23.7 13/03/2017: PinballX - Version 2.31 18:28:24.9 13/03/2017: Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 64-bit (3.9GB) 18:28:24.9 13/03/2017: Loading Settings 18:28:24.9 13/03/2017: Initialize Component 18:28:24.9 13/03/2017: Initialize Display 18:28:26.1 13/03/2017: Loading PlugIns 18:28:27.0 13/03/2017: Hiding Cursor 18:28:27.1 13/03/2017: Hiding Taskbar 18:28:27.3 13/03/2017: CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) II X2 545 Processor 18:28:27.3 13/03/2017: GPU 1: ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series 18:28:27.3 13/03/2017: Displays: 1 18:28:27.3 13/03/2017: Load Game List 18:28:27.4 13/03/2017: Loading Database: Pinball FX2 18:28:27.4 13/03/2017: Loading Database: Pinball Arcade 18:28:27.4 13/03/2017: Loading Database: Future Pinball 18:28:27.4 13/03/2017: Loading Database: Visual Pinball 18:28:27.4 13/03/2017: Finding and matching artwork and videos 18:28:29.0 13/03/2017: Loading Game Statistics and Scores 18:28:29.3 13/03/2017: Loading Surfaces 18:28:29.6 13/03/2017: Finished Loading Surfaces 18:28:29.6 13/03/2017: Initialize Audio 18:28:29.7 13/03/2017: Set Keyboard Controls 18:28:29.7 13/03/2017: Initialize Joystick 18:28:29.7 13/03/2017: Auto configure Visual Pinball 18:28:29.7 13/03/2017: No Joysticks Attached 18:28:29.7 13/03/2017: Started 18:28:35.0 13/03/2017: Launch System 18:28:35.0 13/03/2017: Waiting for threads 18:28:35.0 13/03/2017: Disposing display 18:28:38.2 13/03/2017: C:\Pinball\PinballArcade\PinballArcade.exe -applaunch 238260 18:28:42.0 13/03/2017: C:\PinballX\PBFX2_DMD_Borderless.exe 18:29:32.8 13/03/2017: Exit System Control Pressed 18:29:40.2 13/03/2017: Exiting 18:29:40.2 13/03/2017: Showing Taskbar 18:29:40.2 13/03/2017: Unhiding Mouse Cursor 18:29:40.2 13/03/2017: Disposing Plugins 18:29:40.2 13/03/2017: Saving Settings 18:29:40.2 13/03/2017: Bye Just not sure whats happening?
