    PinballX Help with TPA

    Nice thread about starting up DX11 from this forum here: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/10236-Is-there-any-way-to-get-a-Steam-shortcut-to-launch-the-DX11-version-directly tl;dr, you rename pinballarcade11.exe to pinballarcade.exe. Not without its own problems, but, for me it works...

    PinballX Help with TPA

    Okay, the old-school restart-your-computer-fix made everything suddenly work. It has been on for two or three straight weeks with a lot of stuff going in and out and a lot of constant changes, especially to PinballX and other Pinball stuff. So, my next order of the business is to figure out...

    PinballX Help with TPA

    Oh wow, thanks! I will have to try the NukeLauncher... it sounds super effective! Also, your ini file makes mine look really sad. :) haha. I will come back and post results after I work on this some more over the weekend.

    PinballX Help with TPA

    Okay, after some more tinkering I think you were right on track with the window settings. I have tried different combinations of TPA/PinballX window settings and can get TPA to 'sort of' load. I can get the game to start, but PinballX doesn't understand that it is running and either stays on top...

    PinballX Help with TPA

    Thanks for the advice! I tried it but it didn't help. I'm going to keep tinkering... I may just delete all my TPA setups and start over. I feel like I'm missing something. I think when mpad said a front end would eat three days of my life he was pretty spot-on! haha. So far I'm only 2 days in...

    PinballX Help with TPA

    Hi gang, I could use some help getting TPA to work with PinballX if anybody could spare the time and the expertise! I'm not looking for anything especially fancy, like scripts or whatnot... I would simply be satisfied to just get TPA to launch through PinballX and maybe from there I could...

    Details on PC Cabinet support for TPA

    Hey Robbie, that's cool. Does that mean you would have to set up some kind of wallpaper in the background to like, totally immerse your game? I'm just curious, it looks like something I might try as well. Is it that you are stretching the playfield onto the second monitor, but then, above that...

    Sound mods

    Somewhat sound and sound mod related... is there a way to increase the volume of the mechanical sound effects without also increasing the sound effects of the other electro gizmowhatsits on the tables? As far as I can see, I can only tweak the overall sound effects and the table music. I would...

    My pinball setup and 'solution' to PA backglass

    Okay, never mind about the removing borders in AWM, I finally found out how. tl;dr version: Go to 1. Window Settings 2. Click your mirror profile 3. Click the startup icon, or get to the startup-menu 4. Under options: You have the opportunity to remove 'standard window parts', or something...

    My pinball setup and 'solution' to PA backglass

    Is HyperSpin the program of choice? That is what I see online. Also, if you ever see this q Priested, or anyone else with AWM/AMM, how did you manage to remove the borders? I'm looking into this on their forums and just experimenting but have yet to find the way to get it to work. Any help...

    My pinball setup and 'solution' to PA backglass

    Thanks for mentioning Actual Windows Manager priested. My 30 day trial to AMM expired a few days ago, and I really did miss the DMD on the 2nd monitor so I looked into AWM. They offer a 60 day free trial! Haha. So yah, another 60 days of free product! w00t w00t. I'll have to look into how you...

    My pinball setup and 'solution' to PA backglass

    Yes, pics! I started to ask myself, actually. I would love to see your setup. Thanks Carny for the info on ffmpeg and autohotkey. I will look into those when my AMM runs out. Oh, and I did finally drag out my old flight stick to try for a makeshift plunger. It works pretty good, actually! I...

    My pinball setup and 'solution' to PA backglass

    Cool, I'm glad I posted my setup then! And, sorry for not catching these posts sooner. Good luck getting everything set up this weekend. From the sounds of it you have already figured out as much and more about AMM than I have. I pretty much have only gotten the mirror working and have just...

    Buying a new PC to run DirectX 11 TPA - What specs do I need?

    When I start getting the itch to build a new system I usually start looking here: http://www.hardware-revolution.com/computer-systems/gaming-pc/ I like their tier breakdown design with variable parts and whatnot. They have builds for all sorts of things at different price points. Anyway, just...

    Hi gang!

    Edit: Oops, I meant this as a reply to invitro... I need to brush up on my forum skillz. I'm rather new to the NC area. I grew up in Mississippi, then lived in Indiana for 10 years, then South Carolina, then Canada, and now here in the Triad area. I just played my first real pinball machine in...

    My pinball setup and 'solution' to PA backglass

    Ah thanks! And thanks for the links. I came across the camera-mod thread and I haven't put aside the time or energy to experiment with it yet, but I certainly haven't seen the pinball cabinet L33 is working on. McGuyver... I can live with that! I'm a librarian by trade so I'm used to getting by...

    My pinball setup and 'solution' to PA backglass

    I would like for you all to get a good laugh at my current pinball setup, but also to show my solution to the lack of backglass support in PA. After playing Future Pinball with backglass and working dmd, I got really sad looking at my bare second monitor, so I’ve been trying to find some...

    Hi gang!

    Hey there gang. I've very recently been bitten by the pinball bug and have the portrait mode flipped up monitor on its back to prove it, haha. I've only been playing pinball for one month, having gotten hooked on sorcerer's lair on my phone of all things. I was born in '78 and saw the tail end...
