My MAME arcade shooter cabinet now has a Pixelcade DMD running FlexDMD and DMDExt. (The Pixelcade displays are great, check them out here www.pixelcade.org/) The fun part is that the cabinet also has a new utility called DOF2DMD by @ojacques . This allows DOFLinx to display marquees and MAME scores (well actually anything we want) on a any DMD that runs DMDExt, so people with pinball cabinets w...
Front End Menu Navigation Actions in DOFLinx
มุมมอง 2066 หลายเดือนก่อน
This shows how messages from the front end, in this case Popper, can drive any of he DOFLinx actions (addressable LEDs, flashers, solenoids, undercab lighting, etc), plus display the MAME high scores. High scores in this case are being shown on the built in score screen but can also go on a Pixelcade device.

Would love to know where I could source some chimes like this, to run via the KL25z pinscape board in my vpin cab.
The ones in the video are home made. You can find the correct lengths and mounting points on the web to get the notes you want. Alternatively you can search pinball spare parts for a genuine or replica set.
@ddh6988 thanks for the reply, it's greatly appreciated. I'll do some googling.
how do you set this up in fx please
doflinx.github.io/docs/getting-started/06_PinballFX.html
We really need an updated video for DOF and DOFLinx, the last really one was 6 six years ago.
Hey all, I have noticed that Pinball FX can now have DOFLinx enabled. I have tried downloading the latest version but can not get it to work. Anyone out there have any luck?
As per the guide, help is available over here www.vpforums.org/index.php?showforum=106 just start a thread with your issue(s) and some of the helpful folk will work to resolve them with you.
do you have a video on how to intergrade this?
No video, but the guides are in the download here www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=12318 and help is available on the forum if you have questions.
Currently, i am trying to make it to work but i am new to doflinx and maybe i do something wrong somewhere in the configuration. I hope it will be compatible with arcade64 not just mame64 in the future. By the way it is a great addition.
Launchbox/ BigBox?
Any front end can send navigation messages to DOFLinx. I know of work being done on Launchbox and CoinOps.
@@ddh6988 looking forward to it
Have a look here th-cam.com/video/r6bZTkQ5J4o/w-d-xo.html
@@ddh6988 ok this is great. In theory, the if we have addressable leds in the arcade can we should be able to have led animations as we scroll through the game list? Much like in popper? Is it a matter of a plugin or the .ini file?
@@tekkamanblade2244 Yes. Depending on the front end its enabled differently. For Popper the instructions to enable the messages while scrolling are already in a guide in the installation ZIP. For Launchbox, a beta plugin has been built, just needs some finishing. CoinOps being worked on. Getting the messages to DOFLinx is the first part, the second part is what to do with them. In DOFLinx you can setup to have marquees display, plus via a menu.ini file , you can associate pretty much any DOFLinx action (including any MX LED effect - the doflinx ROM has hundreds of them).
I have to say, I’m struggling hard on getting this working. Major Frenchy’s site is down and the old guides for FX3 (which I’m trying to leverage for FX) seem to be outdated. Is there a way I could pay you to do a full setup walkthrough video? Likewise, do you have the source code for DOFLinx anywhere I could use to debug? I can’t even get a debug log to pop up. I greatly appreciate the work that you put into this for the community. Thank you so much for your time.
i can't figure out how to get this live score working for the life of me, is there a guide on how to set this up?
You can see live scores on the built in DOFLinx score screen or a Pixelcade device. For Pixelcade head over to www.pixelcade.org/ for DOFLinx there is a guide in the installation ZIP file
@@ddh6988 I am trying to use the built in DOFLinx score screen and I have SCORE_SCREEN=1 in my InI but it wont open when I launch a mame game, what triggers that screen to open? All my LEDs are working fine with DOFlinx and Mame, just can't get the live score screen to work. Do I need to add the DOFLinx Marquee code to Pinup or does the built in score screen work independent of pinup? I appreciate all the work you have put into this, it's crazy how far it's come over the years.
Great work
Very cool!! I have a mame cab. Is there a list of software needed and installation instructions for that software? I have mame running now...all I need is doflinx?
DOFLinx and the DOFLinx version of MAME. In the DOFLinx download there are guides, also stickies and lots of help over at VPForums.org
@ddh6988 do I need dof as well??
@@ddh6988 what are you using as a controller board for you leds?? How are you connecting them to the pc??
@@XtiansLiE I mainly use Pinscapes, but I also have a LEDWiz in one cabinet. Of course I kind of have one of everything that DOFLinx supports on the test shelf.
For mame what version are you running that doflinx acknowledges outputs from?
Its a DOFLinx specif version of MAME, standard MAME with some extra stuff for messaging.
@ddh6988 maybe you would know.....when I go to install DOF it's asking for some vpin specific stuff like backglass install...without it, DOF just shuts down. Is there are way around this?
Do you have any tutorials or instructions on how to set this up and run for mame only??
www.vpforums.org/index.php?showforum=104 Also as a guide in the download
@@ddh6988 thank u
So with this work directly with mame? I dont use pinup popper in my cab...im using GameEx as a front end and i want to be able to control toys during mame game play. Knockers, shakers and strobes and whatnot.
Correct. Its a DOFLinx specific version of MAME. No need for Pinup Popper.
That's cool. Thanks for all your hard work over the years
Great! I second Launchbox / Big Box support. Thank you for your contributions
For a mame cab lunchbox doesn't look good. Too computerish. Arcades had a look about them and lunchbox isn't it.
Awesome!! any chance for launchbox support....or could you potentially do that with key commands for menu support...? I need to dive back into this, thank you!
I don't use that and haven't looked yet. Ultimately any system that can send messages on navigation events can be made to work.
The option to enable doflinx is not working ? Hep 😂

very perfect thanks for your work, when you think its finished ?
DOFLinx is a continual piece of work now 8 years old. The PinballFX integration has been released in V8.0
awesome... you did a great job (again and again) DDH69
This is very cool. Does this mean Pinball FX puppacks could be possible?
Yes. Although native 7.1 SSF is being tried out now
@ddh6988 That's awesome. Thx for all you do for the pinball community. Side question. The new chucky table on Pinball M is one of my current favorites. Could this update also apply to Pinball M?
Good work on this. This is a major breakthrough as fx is becoming the main Zen VP platform
@@ddh6988 a separate effort with actual native SSF or using doflinx with terryreds common files?
very excited for this! Thank you SO much for your hard work!
awesome! I can't wait!!
it's too bad there's no way to get the ball rolling sound with SSF
Oh boy. This is VERY exciting.
This is amazing, can't wait for this.
What version are you using with the pixlecadeLCD? You can also have your (mame only), high scores quickly shown up on the actual marquee when you first launch the game. When you run the pixlecadeLCD installer, did it to install LED Blinky as well? Depending on your version, after you setup led blinky it should ask you to point to your mame highscore folder. I also have a bunch of mp4 videos for most of my mame games. I saw you have some already showing some gameplay on the marquee when you started up. For Asteroids and asteroids deluxe , I cut out a video from the movie "Armageddon' or "deep impact" where the comet is going to hit earth. So when you launch those two games, it's the scene from the movie where a smaller piece hits and so the marquee shows a nice peaceful town and then a meteor slam into the city, you see what looks like a atomic bomb went off and then the Shockwave comes at you and the screen turns into the real marquee lol. That seemed like alot but its only a 7 second clip. Great work ,by the way.
Nice way of pimping MAME with beautiful marquees and the DMD scoring is a great addition, keeping the 80's feeling, love it !
Hi. What relay board are you using? I just recently added some chimes via an 8 channel sainsmart board but the additional board has wreck havoc with my two pre existing boards. I'm thinking that 3 sainsmarts is a little much & that I may need to swtich to a different board. Even though that all have been configured & have their own DOF .ini file. The board connected to the chime, mirrors what's happening to my solenoid board. I'm stumped.
Is there now a propper implementation of xinput rumble for pinmame or vpx ?
Not that I'm aware of
So I finally got this 'working' but I am not able to get any response from my left or right playfield mx leds, only the RGB matrix in MAME. Could you expand on your cabinet.xml or directoutputconfig.ini my side playfield mx lights work fine for regular DOF and VPX. Are you not able to use combos in directoutputconfig perhaps? When DOFLINX starts up I do get the red and blue chasers on the R/L side LED strips...Thanks
Ok I think I may have figured it out for those that maybe got as far as I did...I only have an ipac4 so I dont have any 'controller' or 'output' devices other than the mx LEDs so none of the dinput triggers were working because it doesnt know I am pressing them...I ether need to figure out how to use my ipac4 plus dual pacled64s or maybe get a ultimateIO?
OK final update, got it all working but for those that may be on the struggle bus like I was here's what I did: I had the right concept that the button presses were not being 'tracked' but I was in he wrong area, you do not specify that via DOF config tool, you need to identify your basic buttons (start/coin/p1b1/p1b2/p1b3) in the doflinx.ini even if you dont plan on using them for LED or RGB outputs. Once these are setup they trigger DOF MX addressable events properly! Use the guide ini files for example! @DDH69 thank you so much for this awesome software!!! Now I just need one more thing....could you make a modified version of MAME .238 or tell me how to compile it please?
@@mrlore1063 Sorry I only just got to your messages. I monitor VPForums more closely if you need me. Good news, if you download the latest DOFLinx.zip from VPForums it has a modified version of MAME .228 Glad you are living the dream with MAME driving toys. I'll have some more game (MAME) files soon as I keep working with my SInden light gun.
@@ddh6988 no worries at all man! Tinkering around is all part of the fun and makes the ‘win’ that much better when it works! Can’t wait for a mame 0.238 exe since that’s my current rom set! I fancy myself a sinden expert if you need any help but I am obviously not a programmer by any stretch. Thanks again!
Can you send me link for the lifting mechanism or a general idea of how you achieved this?
Aaron have a wander through the build thread for the cabinet here www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=42798 At about post #13 the lift mechanism is described.
guuuuuuuaaaau!!!😍😍
Great development DDH69. I use LEDBlinky for my lights but they aren't as "intelligent" as this and simply react to the frontend rather than MAME itself. I can see the potential of this to be a real game changer (see what I did!). Thanks for all your hard work :-)
Very cool. I'd also like to see how the finished product turned out. Wondering how i'd mount the actuators myself...

@@ddh6988 very impressive. i like the use of acryllic/plexyglass. and the wiring is very clean and orderly. thanks for sharing!
Amazing work DDH69. That's what I want for my next project.
THIS IS AWESOME!!! I was wondering if someone would ever try and use mame outputs for addressable LEDs more than LEDBlinky! What is the the setup like? does doflinx scan memory for certain emulators or is it config file based?
There are a few things being done her. They are run and coordinated via DOFLinx, they are; 1. Read the outputs such as LED0, LAMP1, etc that have been in MAME for some time 2. Custom additions to MAME to output a few other things when requested which are cheat status, game name details, and score 3. DOFLinx is monitoring buttons once the game starts to get the "fire", "bomb" (B1 - B8) and attach actions All of the actions are configurable from the various triggers in xxxx.MAME files (1 per game)
Great development and after seeing this i might just decide to install Mame on my Cab after all. I love the loading colour on the buttons. The tray with the electronics is pretty clever and it would certainly make things easier to change parts or tweaking the system. Thank you for Doflinx
I see you're building a Mame cab. I'm trying out DOFLinx on my Mame cab also which is a hybrid widescreen/portrait setup for Mame, Steam fighting games and pinball. I'm really interested to see how it works with Mame once I get my Teensy board configured, but I wanted to ask you if you're able to tap into fighting games like you do for PFX3? By fighting games I mean Mortal Kombat 11, Injustice, Street Fighter etc. I think having some explosive LED effects during various events in the games (punches, kicks or just fatalities in MK) would be pretty bad ass!
In theory everything is in DOFLinx to make this happen. I've only worked with about 4 older games. The trick is if the game has outputs setup in it originally. MAME has the ability to output these triggers but you can't create triggers where there are none. The good news is, if you setup DOFLinx with MAME it will trap all of the triggers available from any game you play. Once you have those, linking actions to them is pretty straight forward.
DDH69 Good to know. I’ve only looked at a few Mame games so far. Seems most are just flashing the coin/credit buttons. What you’ve done so far is outstanding though. Looking forward to getting everything setup properly.
@@mrloofer72 Once I have the cabinet built then there will be time to find new and interesting ways .........
DDH69 awesome! Btw, I saw in your other video you were controlling the vibration motor somehow in a Xbox controller. Does this mean DOFLinx can be used to intercept the vibration commands for Steam games and divert it to a toy such as LEDs instead? That would be a good way perhaps to get the fighting games to interact with with cab lighting.
@@mrloofer72 DOFLinx can drive the XBox controller for vibration, but is not intercepting it. DOFLinx runs directly from evnts on the FX3 table.
