slickric Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I set up visual pinball 9 in the "visual pinball" setting , then vpx in "other systems" setup. When I load a vpx table it will crash and in the help settings the system shows its trying to load thru vpin9. Opposite happens with some of the vpin9 tables - it will try to load through vpx. All tables are in one folder, works outside of Pinball x but does not seem to work inside. Any help would be greatly appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slickric Posted January 28, 2019 Author Share Posted January 28, 2019 so here is what I think is up, I loadedtales of the arab knights, and twilight zone both vp x tables but it seems they are trying to load w/ vpin 9 through the front end pinball x, my thought or question is how does the front load pinball x know when to start a game in vpx exe or vpin 9 exe, I think that's whats up since all tables for 9 and x are in the same folder but all work perfectly until I use the frontloader, thanks john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_da_Spike Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 How did you setup the tables in gamemanager ? Did you put the correct tables to the correct vp version? Best is to create sub dirs and put the correct table files in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joyrider3774 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I actually use a seperate list xml for visual pinball system and don't create a seperate system for vpx. That list xml only contains vpx tables and i use the alternateexe tag for all those tables to tell it to launch vpx instead of vp9. Seems to work fine and i can make a seperate group for vp9 and vpx tables. Its just an alternate way, my guess is also that vpx tables got added to the wrong game list in his configuration.

Each system has a seperate directory under media and if you created 2 systems one for visual pinball x and one for visual pinball (9) you need to place them in correct directory ...

slickric Posted January 29, 2019 Author Share Posted January 29, 2019 ok, so I made a separate visual pinballx media folder and copied all the files I had previously downloaded and they are working correctly, but now when I try to download additional visual pinball x media it is not downloading to either folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 You may have to familiarize yourself with the folder layouts and manually download the files to the desired media folders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joyrider3774 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 have a look in this thread i posted some info about how the search actually searches (using description field). make sure your password is correctly entered in settings of pinballx, and it's enabled, check checkbox to go online in game manager etc and make sure windows firewall is not blocking game manager etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
