so the new "balls of glory" pack came out on steam today. loaded them onto my cab today. the family guy and american dad pins are pure awesomeness.

question: does anybody know how to get the back glass (static) image to show up while the table is running? it's just the new ones i'm having trouble with...all my other PBFX2 tables work correctly.

(and i have the table image and backglass and wheel image working ok through pinball x...just not when i load it up...backglass goes black)

There's a setting in pinballx, in the game configuration app, the options for individual tables, and there's one that says"hide back glass" - uncheck that

ah.

so every time a new table comes out, i'm gonna have to go do that? i guess that's not a big deal.

'preciate the info.

got it working. thanks.

i noticed when i was searching for backglass images for the pinball fx2 tables that there are some backglass videos out there...have any of you guys tried to run them? i guess it puts them on a loop or something?

It does put them on a loop, some are really cool, others are just weird

Where can you get these awesome tables from? do you install them just like Visual Pyyinball? Anyone here use the PinDmd? i have
the PinDmd2 .but when running Addams Family I get no display from my PinDmd. Anyone have
the same issue? Thanks

you can get the pinball fx2 tables here. there are some really good ones.

looks cool. thanks . i need to get that table along with the other DE table Lethal Weapon 3
anyone play the DE Star Trek table?

yeah..i have DE star trek.

i like it...but then again, i have a soft spot in my pin-heart for data east games. they may not be the best playing pins out there, but i dig 'em.

you should snag DE star wars while you're at it...if you don't have it already.

i have the real table. love it. the virtual version is pretty good (i think i have the night mod running on my cab now).

Thats Awesome you have the DE Star Trek.
i own a Bally Star Trek. but nothing special compared to the DE. Data East made alot
of great pins. in my opionion. i have a G N R. like that pin alot. would be hard to part with. hope to own a Back To The Future or Star trek someday..

no, i have the DE star wars.

i only own the virtual version of DE star trek.

---

as for BTTF, it's a love/hate game for a lot of people it seems. i love the theme. and the gameplay isn't the greatest, but i do enjoy it. not sure how long it would stay fresh in a small collection of real pins though. but...having a virtual version of it to play any time i want? yeah. awesome.

Nice! Star Wars is cool DE machine. i like it better than the Star Wars Episode 1. original star wars was better. Yeah i agree with you
about back to the future. its kinda the same
way with lethal weapon 3. use to own one. but after awhile it got kinda blah. its great having a virtual dont have lug machines around to play a game

Wow! Pinball Arcade cabinet mode! Looks like we missed this one.. Amazing stuff!

has anyone tried this? last time i looked it up on the forums, TPA wasn't supported for cabs...at least not fully.

is this single screen setup? it'd be great to have some more "professional" tables to run.

Here is a video showing the setup -

looks great.

is there any new info on a timetable for TPA "official" cabinet support?

TPA could not care less about releasing cabinet support. They are in bed now with Stern so I am sure that function will not be developed until Stern blesses it. TPA are a bunch of shills, if you pay them they will do it. As you can see I am pissed about this official cabinet support as they have been promising it for years in their forums and couldn't care less about the hundreds of requests that have been posted for this functionality.

which you would think makes zero sense for them financially...i don't own any TPA tables on my cab...if they were to make cabinet support official, i would buy every one of them (even though i own every one of them already on multiple devices).

but...........maybe selling tables isn't their thing? :/

anybody know what causes this? it looks like the DMD is running properly, it's just all out of whack...like maybe it's zoomed in waaaaaaaayyyyy too far?

is this another script issue? i've looked on some other tables at trying to find where the dmd size is controlled, but haven't been able to find it quite yet.

thanks in advance for any help.

F TPA

Those bitches promised portrait mode years ago

No worries, PinballFX is KILLING it lately & they offer cabinet support.

Incomplete Stern games running on incomplete TPA?

No thanks

thanks a ton...that fixed it immediately.

Yeap the cab support with PinballFX2 is awesome. Anyone here have success getting Ledwiz to work with PBFX2, at minimum the flippers? That would add some realism to this cab support. More info on the official support here:

http://forum.zenstudios.com/showthread.php?11279-Patch-notes-for-today-s-update-for-cabinet-support

that's awesome that they have embraced the community like that...and <shocker> i bet it sold them a lot more copies (i doubled up on every single table they offer; i have them all on my X1 and now every one of them on my cab).

when you talk about LEDwiz are you talking about the force feedback stuff? i'd love it if that could be added...they're fun to play even without it, but if it were included it would take it to the next level.

I posted the same question over on vpinball.com and we got a response but the info is all in French. Looks doable!

http://vpinball.com/forums/topic/can-we-get-some-ledwiz-toys-working-with-pinballfx2-dof-compatibility/

The problem with adding solenoids to knock with the flippers is the out of sync sound. The solenoids kick then the game sounds for the flippers fire. It's super lame and distracting. In VP, the game sounds can be disabled and rerouted to dof. But here you'd get both.

Just crank up your subwoofer in the game. Mine makes it so I feel everything even the balls bump on rubbers. You do not need dof to enjoy the game.

Force feedback kicks ass. I find that I enjoy the distracting led flashers even more fulfilling than the pop bumbers' contactors.

you have animated backglasses with PBFX2? how does that work? i've been going with the static images as best i can...some of them look pretty cool, but animated would be sweet.

yeah. love the flashers. any "extra" feedback be it shaker, solenoids, or flashers adds to the experience IMO.

I got the animated backglasses here and moved the DMD inside the grill. Looks great when playing:

Keep in mind this was done in PinballX as PBFX2 only supports static backglasses at this time. If you need help setting it up let me know as I have a PDF for PinballX setup.

I agree however the Frenchman has hooked up the contractor to the shaker code coming out of the 360 controller which responds in game. This solution should work!

ha...i see you downloaded the balls of glory pack.

american dad and family guy were worth the price of admission alone.

Bob's burgers has me flowing ramps like a mad man

i think i need that pinballX PDF.

can i keep the dmd where it is? i want to try it both in its current position and moved up to the backglass...see which one i like.

Here you go, just follow the steps on setting up PBFX2 in pinballX. You don't need the borderless script, DMD cfg and other stuff since the cabinet version already does this.

http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=31994

IMO the DMD is way better in the backglass until they start supporting the real DMD via PinDMD2

Looks Awesome! is PinballFx easy to
setup?

If you are using PinballX and its the latest or recent version, steam installed etc. Just setup as per the screenshot in the PDF and it just works. Dump the animated backglasses into the correct media directory to get it looking great, perhaps add the table and wheel screenshots to make things look real nice. Overall, very easy setup.

Thanks Appreciate the help. you mentioned
Pinball X are you referring to the frontend pinball X or VP10?

he's talking about the front end, pinballX

use that link i sent you a while back...and the tutorial video...i think you'll like it once you get it up and running, greg.

Thanks could you re send me the link please. i was unable to find it in my emails. appreciate it

thanks man. after i started reading the pdf, i realized that i knew what i was doing from having set up backglass/table images/videos. but i appreciate you linking it for me.

i haven't tried moving the dmd yet. may do that at some point...the animated backglasses are a welcome improvement over static images though. i guess he'll update the list when he gets the ones done for the balls of glory pack? hope so.

question: what do you mean by "....until they start supporting the real DMD via PinDMD2?" is pinDMD where you use an actual dmd instead of a third monitor?

Thanks Pudluther for the video. I have
PinX but i need to learn up how to
run the tables with.. this should
help. thanks. are the tables from
pinballFx free or is there a fee for them?

pinball fx2 is on steam, free to try, pay to keep/win

Thanks Chosen_S is Steam a website or
a emulator?? sorry new this pinballFx stuff

Gregh, Steam is a application which allows you to purchase games electronically, and once you make the purchase, the game is downloaded to you. A lot of games went this direction for purchasing, I believe Pinball Arcade uses Steam as its online purchasing. You would download Steam to your computer, then do a search for Pinball FX, then purchase it through the online account you create when first logging in.

Thanks Wiggy07 for that info. so basically when you purchase the game you can play it right on your computer without emulator etc..
and the game runs through Pinball X frontend? thanks.
