Another great video Rudy. You explain everything very well, so most of the time just following your videos step by step does the trick. Thanks you are a gem for this community 🙏thanks, Arno Koopman
Hi Rudy: Just wanted to say THANKS for all of your videos but especially for this one!!! Made updating easy. I did run into one problem, I run in VR and the openvr_api64.dll provided in this update stopped my VR from working correctly. I had made a backup of my files, I simply replaced the file with my backup and it was back to working.
11:10 You first copy the 32bit dmdext.exe to vpinmame folder and after that you copy the 64bit dmdext.exe (which has the same name as the 32bit) to the same folder?. Then the 32bit dmdext.exe should be overwritten by the 64bit version i think?
Weirdly VPinMAME wouldn't update like this for me, I had to uninstall it first then reinstall it... copying the files (and even trying install after) just didn't work.
Rudy - thank you for all the work you do. I'm sorry to bother you (no rush to reply) I have a single screen set up and I use the normal internal DMD and I use the colourize function because I can rotate these for portrait full screen mode along with my monitor (unlike the freezy dmd). After following your instructions I upgraded the Vpinmame to 3.6 and colourize no longer works - it's just a single colour. The upgrade to VPX 8.0 did not affect things and works great. I've tried sorting it myself but I'm stuck and I just can't get it to work - can you help. If you haven't got time no worries but I would really appreciate it, Many Thanks.
@@rudysarcade Cheers Rudy For getting back to me. Yeah I just tried that and the colorize box is checked for that table. It wasn't checked for the default options box (setup.exe) so I checked that also and tried again.....no fix.
Meant to say Rudy that before I updated to 3.6 I made a back-up copy of my vpinmame folder, so just to make sure it's definitely the update I temporarily switched back to my previous version and the colorize is working - don't know if that's useful. Thanks.
anyone know how i can add a direct output plugin to the b2s as for some reason when i install dof its never there or send me in the right diection cheers im guessing this is why i have no dof lighting
@dandgerousdave4308 you need to install the base 32bit install and setup the config. Then add 64bit.. Join my discord and people can help you out better. Also think way of the wrench has a video on how to install it. I don't do dof on my setup
This will be the third time I'm trying to get the pinball machine to work. With the last update, I got a lot of errors and stopped dealing with this hobby. I haven't played VP for about 6 months. There are a lot of problems. With every new update, something always doesn't work, so all of this is very frustrating. Now I'll try updating again and see if it works.
Everything is working fine now except for one table of Guns N' Roses. The only thing is I can't see how the second monitor works since I haven't connected it. I'm playing on a PC and I don't have a cabinet. Specifically, I have a 2K LG monitor at 144Hz and a smaller auxiliary Samsung monitor at 1680x1050, but since I bought a new graphics card, I don't have a cable to connect the monitor to the card because the old monitor has a DVI cable and I need HDMI or DisplayPort...
@@angellotomic whats wrong with GNR? did you download the updated table VPU fixed it last week the old one does not work anymore. you can always get the latest links and pov files on my discord
@@rudysarcade No, I haven't. I'll download it tonight when I get back from work and check if it works. For now, I don't have a second monitor where everything is already set up, but I'll try to turn on the GNR at least to make it work if nothing else.Thanks anyway. You have an excellent channel. All the best
@@rudysarcade Here I am, I downloaded the latest version of GNR and now it works, but I lost my colored DMD and its position somehow for both GNR and all other tables. B2S works fine, since I set up the second monitor, but now I can't see the scores. I lost them somewhere in this update. I didn't do something right.
Thanks Rudy, this is such a good reference video. Great content and great presentation...much appreciated!
Many thanks Rudy, been neglecting my VR Pin for quite a while, great tutorial.

Really useful stuff. I setup my pc thanks to an older video of yours.
thank you for your work! You make our hobby easier!
excellent video, very well explained!

@Eric196910 yes the exe is not used only the plugins.. so doesn't matter you can remove it all together. But other programs like Future pinball use it
Thank you for this. it helped me solved a problem.

@@karma_moths did you make sure color is enabled? Hit F1 and make sure the box at the bottom is checked

When I click on the Github link, I don't see the UPDATE like you're showing. Any thoughts?

It is really simple. Start with ballerinstaller then update the files

Will the automatic updater do this for me ?
whenerver he updates the server but he only does it like once a month or so so it will not update to the latest daily
I believe there is no need to register b2s as administrator
Yes should work as long as you run the registration app.
