    Altirra's does have a compatibility database function but at least from what I could tell was only for 5200 carts (been awhile so may be wrong). But here are some tools to figure out the header type: There is also this html file for drag and drop of rom to add header but it isn't always 100% (i.e., may show two types and have to figure which one). https://github.com/robinhedwards/UltimateCart/blob/master/RomToCar.html With some google-fu there are also some "car" extension rom packs with headers already applied floating about.

    Yes

    You cannot force LB to only use ROM named media. As you have seen if there is any other named media via title in addition to rom-named media it will add to game as well. If you have media/image pack with ROM names then easiest is to nuke the media folder specific to MAME and then add your media with ROM name. However, there is still a gotcha as if you ever edit a game in LB, then LB will merrily rename the media back to LB naming convention of game title (via Database) and a -0# sequence. There is a useful plugin in download section to rename media back to ROM name but the reality is you have to battle LB's tendency to name things the way it wants. It would be great if there was some way to lock media overall to avoid this but currently no such feature.

    Did you double check to make sure installer installed to same directory (i.e. not one deeper)? Also might try using the Tools, File Management, Restore Backup vs drag/drop to make sure things go where needed.

    You can launch FX tables without batch files directly from LB. See here:

    There is nothing to turn on. My guess is you have the free version of LB.

    Go to LB menu under Tools, Cloud and toggle off Enable Games Statistics Syncing if don't want it to sync prior install. The pop up shows exactly what is synced one of which is favorites.

    Simple answer, not anytime soon. Longer answer:

    Backup your LB data xmls (File Management, Create Backup) and then try removing all plugins, remove all Dreamcast games and associated platform (not all of RA just flycast). Then try adding back platform and few games to see if runs. Only thing I can think of is XML is corrupted somewhere (also make sure no Data\Platforms directory has not dupes, zips or other files beyond your platform XMLs). Beyond that a LB person would need to weigh in as out of ideas on this one.

    Not really sure what would be to impact one game for version change. I have 13.19, RA flycast and Marvel vs Capcom 2 in CHD format and launches with no issue. These are my settings for RA. I did see some folks with issues if hide console box checked (for other emulators not RA). But I have on and launches. Did you try removing the game and readding it?

    Rename the extension either within Notepad or exit Notepad and rename file in Windows Explorer.

    Ugh, I am dingbat. I had nuked my computer two months back and hadn't re-registered the audio DLL when reinstalled LB. All those little things forget about. Playfield and audio works along with BG as you noted (I just have to follow instructions!). DMD as you indicated is not working. Looking at AHK Spy looks like did change window title to "Virtual DMD". Think it was "formDMD" before. Freezy DMD Version 2.3. Window Title: Virtual DMD ahk_class HwndWrapper[DefaultDomain;;cf57d32f-9895-438a-a1b6-5639e300a9b1] ahk_exe VPinballX.exe B2S Server: Version 2.1.3.327 (has two windows): Window Title (BG only): B2S Backglass Window Title (records background, if turned off then backglass): B2S Backglass Server ahk_class WindowsForms10.Window.8.app.0.13965fa_r6_ad1 ahk_exe B2SBackglassServerEXE.exe PinMame DMD Version 3.6 Window Title (table specific): VPinMAME: Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends, The (3.20) ahk_class MAME ahk_exe VPinballX.exe Not sure when they changed on DMD as don't typically record those but suspect that was with v2.3 as was major changes (and color DMD creator drama).

    Thanks, I just jumped to the "it's 13.19 " conclusion and didn't do too much testing. Will fiddle with options a bit. I had stepped away from emulation for a bit so hadn't messed with VPX or LB for some months.
  15. sundogak
    You global_core_options turned on so will take that as priority. I believe if you leave that on you will need to use the appendconfig option:

    Suspect due to the change in 13.19 that impacts various plugins but get this error now and file doesn't convert (MKV temp file is blank): Likely not high on priority list as not too many Pinball folks out in LB land but wanted to make aware.

    Page 9 there are some google drive links but best to look through thread depending on what looking for.

    V5.0 Update: Updated with separate zip file with media for released tables on December 12, 2024: Banzai Run - 188 Earthshaker - 189 Black Knight 2000 - 190 Also there were some a few table pointer files I fixed as they were "txt" extension vs "fxt". It makes no matter from LB view but wanted to make sure they corresponded with what is in the post on how to install FX tables for LB. Lastly, reminder that the media will work as named and if use the provided XML, Data pointer files, and follow the instructions linked to first post. A reviewer noted the pack doesn't work because as they "must have an underscore" in the naming. This is incorrect for LB. LB doesn't care what files are named as long the table name and/or ROM name matches the media (or matched manually). The underscore naming is only required for the backglass image in two screen setup (as is also indicated in the instructions). Those specially named images are needed for FX to pickup as a backglass when running a table and are in a folder called "cabinet" in the default Steam path of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pinball FX\PinballFX\Mods\Cabinet".

    For some reason 13.19 betas breaks @superrob3000 plug-in whereas works find in 13.18:

    You can upload them to as "Fanart-Box-Back". This is where inside covers tend to be loaded (and where I place them) although not ideal as having a separate category. You run into this for Arcade flyers as well as no "inside" page category. The database data most part is user maintained other than the LB team determines the categories. LB team is working on addressing some of the limitations of current DB and appears they are looking at tagging to help but nothing in place at moment (separate thread on Forum).
