PinUP Virtual Pinball System

This page is read only. You can view the source, but not change it. Ask your administrator if you think this is wrong.
====== Other Settings Emulators ======

Here's where you can info/examples on how other people got their hardware/software up and running.

===== Cactus Canyon Continued with Hardware DMD =====

First get CCC up and running outside of Popper, making sure you get dmdext sample batch file ready and working. Then add table to Popper and on game manager go to CCC and find the field 'Custom Var #2' and set it to "CCC" without quotes.

then in your vpx launch script you want to add this to it at the top: (this is a sample, you need to change the parameters for dmdext for your hardware!)

Launch Script:

<code>
if "[CUSTOM2]"=="CCC" (
cd "c:\visual pinball\vpinmame"
start /min "" dmdext.exe mirror --source screen --position 4550 900 512 128 --no-virtual -d pindmdv3 -p COM3
)

</code>

Note For LCD/DMD you would do similar but the dmdext.exe line needs to be different like this:

<file>
start /min "" c:/dmdext/dmdext.exe mirror --source screen --position 5700 0 1400 400 --destination=virtual --virtual-stay-on-top --virtual-hide-grip --virtual-position 5700 0 1154 555

</file>

note: your #'s will be different depending on your screen layout/setup.

Add This to the end of close script:

<file>
 if "[CUSTOM2]"=="CCC" (start /min "" taskkill /f /im dmdext.exe)

</file>

----

===== Arcooda Pinball / Pinball Arcade =====

Delete any old emulator setup and games you may have had previously. NOTHING Pinball Arcade related should be set to run as admin.

{{:4e5057d58992b4a845ccaea2ddd23583.png}}

Download or use any display rotation program. [[http://noeld.com/dl.asp?filename=display.zip|http://noeld.com/dl.asp?filename=display.zip]] - that's used in the example.

In Games Manager select the new emulator and right-click on grid "import games" use the included .pupgames file. Delete games you don't own. Also newly included is altrun mode for multiple players - setup and use like FX3!

Pay close attention to line 2 and set dmdext for your system for dmd mirroring.

Change the 3rd line device number from 1 to match you system if needed.

LAUNCH SCRIPT:
