+ | **Most common issue: Most people cannot use FX3 in Exclusive Screen Mode. Many people found that VLC media will be crashed when returning from FX3/2. The easy solution is to setup FX3 in its video settings to use " | ||
+ | |||
+ | Also, you must run the your steam-client on windows startup (the default behaviour). You do not want to run steam for the first time from launch script. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //NOTE: this is NO SUPPORT or help with any of this if you are using a PIRATED version of Zen FX3. Don't be silly and support Zen with their pinball software (well worth it, during steam sales you can get all the tables at great prices). Also, doflinx and dmdext will NOT work correctly with pirated copies. // | ||

+ | |||
+ | \\ | ||
+ | In FX3 cabinet settings you must set your DMD size to **520 width and 136 height**. THIS MUST BE DONE IN FX3 SETTINGS (not pinup), and setting must be **520×136** no other resolutions.\\ | ||

+ | ===== Media Packs ALL-IN-ONE from community ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can use the normal media manager in Popper to grab media or because all fx3 share common filenames and cabinet views you can grab a full media pack and drop manually into the fx3 folders to get started. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here is a list of authors who have made available their packs: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Hawkeyez88 [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== For Information on Adding Multiplayer to FX3 ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | This is already done for you in default Baller and newer installs. For older Popper installs see here. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PinUP Popper Alt-Mode Option** [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== SSF with FX3 ,PuP-SSF and DOFLinx ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Do you have any SSF, Toys, or mxleds working on your cab via DOF. FX3 doesn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: DofLinx allows a scaled-down b2s backglass support for FX3. IMO, easier and more stable to just keep media in Popper on the backglass (keep displays on). I would suggest to not try setting up b2s files for FX3 until a much later date after everything is working. | ||

+ | emulator setup FX3 in your launch script at the very bottom add these lines | ||
+ | < | ||

+ | timeout 15 | ||
+ | START /min "" | ||
+ | |||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | you may need to change the 15 (thats seconds) if your system is slower to launch. | ||
+ | |||
+ | this will send keystrokes to 'start new game' always. | ||
+ | |||
+ | //Note: this should work fine for default keyboard setup in fx3, if yours is different then don't use this workaround…// | ||
+ | ===== Aliens FX3 PuP-Pack Not triggering videos ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If you have problems with the videos triggering When using PuPDMD\\ | ||
+ | Try copying these modified pupcapture images to the pupcapture folder in the pup-pack. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Volume 6 and ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | With Volume 6 pack tables their DMDs are italic and cause issues for pupdmd and others. Ive made a workaround attempt using the following update: [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Use the readme.txt file inside zip to get those working. NOTE: this is for LCD PUPDMD users only!!! | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== New Freezy/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | To use puppacks with the new scaling version of dmddevice.dll you will need to open up dmddevice.ini in your vpinmame folder and add the following to it to ensure scaletohd=false on any fx3 puppacks you use. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Example: | ||
+ | < | ||
+ | |||
+ | [PINUP\Aliens] | ||
+ | scaletohd = false | ||
+ | |||
+ | [PINUP\Alien_vs_Predator] | ||
+ | scaletohd = false | ||
+ | |||
+ | [PINUP\BETHESDA_Doom] | ||
+ | scaletohd = false | ||
+ | |||
+ | [PINUP\UNIVERSAL_Jurassic_World] | ||
+ | scaletohd = false | ||
+ | |||
+ | [PINUP\WMS_No_Good_Gofers] | ||
+ | scaletohd = false | ||
+ | |||
+ | [PINUP\MARVEL_Deadpool] | ||
+ | scaletohd = false | ||
