+ | Hey, just made a little ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Custom DOF effects by Table/Game ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | By default, PinUP Popper will use effects E900-E921 from your "PinUP Menu" dof online config tool. You can force it to be a certain effect by game by setting the DOF command on a certain Table/Game if you want. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||

+ | See full details here: [[https:// | ||

+ | |||
+ | ==== Modify PuP-Packs to play on Topper Display Only ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Happy Friday! I made this video to show people how easy it is to change a particular PuP-Pack that is designed for your backglass and have it work with your Topper screen instead. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Make your Home Playlist display only your Global Favs ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Easy, just set your homeplay list to active sql and put this as the sql statement. | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | SELECT * FROM Games gm join playlistdetails pd on pd.gameid=gm.gameid where pd.isFav=2 ORDER BY GameDisplay | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now anytime you add/remove global favs on a game it will automagically be updated in your Home Playlist. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== A little ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | here's a little ' | ||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | 1> playlist manager. under a sub playlist or anywhere you create 3 playlists and set them as visible=false with no tables or other config\\ | ||
+ | 2> the trick is that you must name them exactly " | ||
+ | 3> they will not appear in frontend as they are not visible. but you will find them in media manager now and media should work. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **OR** you could just handle the media manually(no playlists) as they should be " | ||
+ | |||
+ | ---- | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== Run utilites and other ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Maybe you have a batch file/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | Option #1: | ||
+ | |||
+ | the easier method now would be via the Operator menu. Create a bat file in the launch subfolder, and they will appear in custom scripts operator menu IF the batch filename starts with ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Option #2: | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can make an emulator called " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now in your emulator launch you want to call that gamefilename and afterwards you want to run this exe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | put that in your launch sub-folder. and in your launch script after you do your thing, run this forcereturn.exe. It will emulate the game starting, and exiting 1-2 seconds later so Popper returns cleanly. you don't need anything in your closescript as it will auto-return to popper menu. | ||
