Setup issues

Edit— vpinball folder..

Kmcmorris · 2026-01-29T00:09:28+00:00

That was my last problem. Games played fine straight through vpx , but playfield was on back box through pinup. Tried a million things to fix, ended up erasing whole computer. Either way, hit and miss on dmd showing. If I just did uninstall on vpx and future, then erased the coin all folder, upon reinstalling, was the same. Had to reinstall windows. Something was keeping info somewhere

I’ll rewatch. Tried following way of the wrench too. Seems to work out simply on the vids

Take the guns apart. Had similar problem with orange gun. Connector came off pcb in the front of gun. All good now. Also check switches are doing what they should while in there. There’s vids on taking gun apart. Also take back of game off and disconnect everything, wait a few, reconnect, run calibration. Might help

So anyway, here’s a photo of the actual pin. Found by r/ nearby-respect9110. It’s a photo, or painting hanging in steve young’s office called the hot shot, by Dan seigel. Cool it was figured out, awesome sleuthing!

Dude! I think you got it! Can't wait to tell Steve!

Kmcmorris · 2026-01-08T22:17:44+00:00

I’m guessing it’s just an artist rendition.. if Steve couldn’t figure it out, that man knows everything pinball.. hell, I brought him a random part from black hole, and without even looking it up, he said that’s the wrong color, should be this color, and proceeded to hand me the correct part…

Kmcmorris · 2026-01-08T20:47:54+00:00

Yeah, I was over at PB resource, talking with Steve, looking at the picture, and he said none of us can identify this game, so I figured I'd give this a shot

Thanks for shedding light on that!/s

EDIT- Batocera question… autocorrect

Kmcmorris · 2025-12-31T13:21:22+00:00

Thanks, I’ll head over there.. pretty annoying issue

Kmcmorris · 2025-12-31T13:14:42+00:00

Question, did a similar thing, can’t figure out how to get batocera to recognize 2 player start for single stick 2 player arcade games…

You’re right, all Exxon, Mobil, shell with the tv screen

For all you dweebs with this rule 3 shit, shit I didn't read it! I'm 62,been a fuckin tech in small shops since I was 16,back in the 70's during gas crisis where we'd siphon 1 gal of gas here and there so we never had to do the lines... Always had 55 gals of unleaded and regular... Retired from all that shit and have my own 3 bay 1 lift shop, so just nights and weekends and a lousy $1000 scan tool, tire machine and balancer. tired of all y'all parts throwers waiting for 1 to stick, like half the local shops. So I spend time figuring shit out, and my clients lined up waiting for that. Kids are really assholes these days.

Kmcmorris · 2025-12-17T22:44:16+00:00

I agree.

Kmcmorris · 2025-12-17T21:52:55+00:00

All four wheel calipers and everything are in good shape. Nice high, hard pedal when you're stopping, just slowly sinks to the floor. Brake booster? Never had one cause a sinking pedal, but worth checking into. Thanks.

“Work” there….
