+ | How to Update | ||
+ | |||
+ | // | ||
+ | |||
+ | Download the file from here: [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unblock and unzip the folders (keep the structure of folders and bat file) into your vpinball root folder. Overwrite when asked. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then right-click and run-as administrator the **BallerUpdateMay2023_v1.bat** file from the vpinball root. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will first see a Microsoft C++ installer appear, you must install this unless you already have it installed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | You will see the VPINMAME dialog appear. Press INSTALL (confirm) and then press QUIT to continue. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then the FlexDMDUI will appear | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Press Register button if there are any red-crosses (most likely the UltraDMD needs to be registered). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Then press the top-right X to close the FlexDMDUI program. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Review the log window and you shouldn' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: This update will make vpinball.exe default to 64bit for all your Games. Some VPX tables require 32bit only mode (like spooky ones) so you need to use alternate launch exe. Go to Popper Setup/Games manager and on those games set the Alternate Launcher to **VPinballX32b.exe** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **{{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | //note: if you have manually changed your config in the past to use pac coloring files (instead of the default dmdext/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | If using DOF you can now go to section below to update your DOF to 64bit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Update System to use DOF 64bit ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | Before updating DOF. After you've update above, run VpinballX32b.exe (which is 32bit) and run a game and ensure your DOF is working ok before proceeding. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Exit all apps. If you have DOFLinx open in the background close (kill with taskmanager if needed). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Backup your c: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Unblock and unzip this (keep folder name) to a new location where you want to keep DirectOutput 64bit folder. | ||
+ | |||
+ | [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now we need to get B2S working with this new folder (64bit DOF). You want to right-click on your DirectOutputx64 folder and select COPY. Then you go to your **c: | ||
+ | |||
+ | your plugins64 folder should look something like that. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Copy over your 32bit dof config files to new 64bit dof folder. You will have to copy all the files from **\DirectOutput\Config** to your new **\DirectOutputx64\Config** folder. Once all files are copied over you can reboot pc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Run virtual pinball (64 bit version) and load a table that has a backglass. Right click on backglass and ensure that ' | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now Check that DOF works within 64bit and 32bit (fx3 or Popper will use 32bit DOF for lights while browsing). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Note: In future, when you use DOFConfigTools to grab latest DOF profiles from web you will need to recopy the config files to \DirectOutputx64\config like above. You could create your own batch file to copy those config files over and simply run the bat file each time you update DOF profiles. | ||

+ | |||
+ | ===== Other Notes: ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | if you have some issues with VPINMAME 3.6 and some roms like (super mario bros). [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | The NEW B2S Server has a lot of nice features to help you out. [[https:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | ===== Optional: FFMPEG 4K recording in Popper ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can use a newer FFMPEG now for GPU recording that no longer deals with this issue (no need for OBS or GFE).\\ | ||
+ | FFMPEG new version/ | ||
+ | Should make life easier for everyone to have one simple recording solution for 4K/gpu with fullscreen exclusive.\\ | ||
