Thanks for the video and guide Jon! I'm using a gaming laptop, so one variation I did on your setup was to use a powered usb-C dock with 2 HDMI ports (I think it is the one you suggested for using the SteamDeck with ALP). I connect the dock to the 4KP with 2 very short HDMI cables (about 6 inches) and short OTG USB Cable (around 12"...shortest they had). I then use a 6-foot HDMI cable for the third HDMI connection and a USB-C extension cable (6 feet) to connect the dock to my laptop. This allows me to have just two cables to connect to my laptop...the cable to the USB-C doc and the 3rd HDMI cable, which plugs into the laptop's HDMI port. Easy to connect when I want to play, and easy to put the cables out of the way when not playing OTG. Got everything setup over the weekend and I was surprised at how responsive the FX tables were...much better than when I tried FX on my ALP HD. Ironically, I think Addams Family plays better through FX than it does natively on the 4KP.

Just asking because I've heard some people say they had to deactivate their virus guard to download, then reactivate, did you run into this issue?...

Great video Wagner! I have the original ALP HD with the Buy stuff Backbox upgrade. I’m using a gaming laptop for Pinball FX. On my monitor display settings, I duplicate screens 1 & 2, so whatever is on my playfield is also on my laptop. Would you recommend not duplicating and making each monitor its own display? I’ve bee. Having some display issues and figured I would ask you, or anyone else what they recommend for laptop display settings.

If I had the BSA backbox upgrade, yes I would definitely utilize the DMD (not duplicated). I never wound up picking one up. Not sure what kind of issues you were having, you will need to arrange the displays in Windows and configure the display sizes. But, should be worth the time and effort to do.

Great video Jon! Some comments from my setup and a couple of questions: One of the weird things I ran into with getting Pinball FX setup was it would not display my DMD correctly. Everything was set the way it was supposed to be. No idea why it was not displaying. I ended up disabling Cabinet mode in Pinball FX, deleting the settings.ini file and then going through the steps again and that fixed it. Do you know why the backglass images don’t fill the whole screen in FX like they do in M! I’m guessing they need to be resized or something? Do you need the arcade control panel installed on the 4KP for VPX? When I was running VPX on my old gutted A1U it worked fine with the stock buttons plus 2 additional buttons I added. So just curious how you’re going to use the panel. I haven’t ordered it yet but I’m not opposed to getting it. Any idea off the top of your head if XPadder works with VPX? Previously I ran Joy2Key with my VPX setup. Thanks again for all you do for the community.
@WagnersTechTalk 4 ай бұрын
Thank you! I've not seen the issue you mention about the DMD positioning not working the first time, that's interesting. I may need to add that to the troubleshooting section. For the backglass images, it has to do with the artwork pack. Some show full-screen backglass images others seemed to be cropped a bit. I've not found a more up-to-date pack, it takes a lot of time to create all those images. If you find a better source of images, please let me know. The Arcade Control Panel with the additional buttons will be a big help. Not only for the additional buttons but for the trackball also. The trackball will allow you to use it as a mouse for hovering over an icon and the physical buttons for left + right-click. The Xpadder profile will work with VPX, I've tested it on my old machine but not yet on the new machine. Hope I answered all your questions, thank you for your kind feedback and great questions!

@@cwafflestx Im finally setting up the otg usb cable and I do notice flipper lag that wasnt there when I used my wireless keyboard. Regarding FX3 vs FX and Pinball M, FX4 does fill the DMD and on FX it doesn't on most tables, as it mimics the size aspect ratio of the real machines, FX3 stretched them and Pinball M is showing video, ect on their DMD's so it looks full compared to FX. Back to the lag on flippers, I am going to check all the USB and other settings for power savings options and turn those off before buying a usb hub.

I read your guide but I didn't see a mention of one. Thank you! Also, last night I played without configuring VPX for buttons via OTG! Strangely, my left flipper decided to jump to left nudge after switching back and forth a few times. Audio also was cut off, so I had to switch back to pinball video > HDMI and it would kick back on. Strange problems, but still I was having a blast, from Creature to the Black Lagoon, Monster Bash, Avengers, Canada Dry, Guns 'n Roses.

The HDMI Adapter I purchased a few years ago was USB-A to x2 HDMI Outputs and has worked well. However, it's no longer available so I can't recommend it. I went looking, here's one around the same price and has good reviews: amzn.to/4bo63qd However, I've not personally tried it. One feature that is nice about this is that it supports USB-C and USB-A. Only use something like this for the backglass and DMD. The HDMI output from your laptop will be the playfield display. For the audio issue, see #6 here: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp4k-pcsetup/#Troubleshooting . It may not be exactly the same thing you're experiencing, but may be something to try. Hopefully some of the above will be helpful to you, sounds like you're just about there!

Hi John, I'm trying to use my steam deck with the 4kP but I'm having issues connecting to the OTG. How to you get this working with the steam docking station?
@WagnersTechTalk 3 ай бұрын
I've not setup the Steam Deck on the 4KP at this point, primarily because I've added a dedicated PC to it. However, you should be able to use this guide to get it working: wagnerstechtalk.com/sd-alp . The main issue I see though is that the official Steam Deck dock only has two video output ports (HDMI and DisplayPort) - if I recall correctly. See the requirements section of the guide linked above for the hub I used (it has x2 HDMI and x1 Display Port) which should give you 3 displays. How well it will perform with 3 displays is unknown, however (I only tested with 2).

Hi Jason, great news! The issue you're having is that FX/M doesn't include the backglass artwork so you'll see the name of the image that "should" be displayed until the artwork is copied over. The only thing missing is this step: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp4k-pcsetup/#Backglass_Image_Setup . Those are the best artwork packs I've found (so far). Some will utilize the entire backglass display, others won't (just a heads up). Most look very good though.

I was hoping we'd see something like powered hub being the solution, doesn't appear so. Some things you may have already tried: Make sure you have the latest Windows updates, if you refresh rate in NVIDIA Control Panel is set for 59Hz, try going back to 60Hz and see if that changes anything. Had a discussion with someone earlier today where that solved a similar issue. If any of this (or something else) fixes it, please let me know what it was.

I do have an NVIDIA (3080) GPU, but I don't have an NVIDIA control panel in the tooltray. Instead, I have something called "GEFORCE EXPERIENCE," with several modes, but no detailed configuration settings. Are those settings available another way? Or just use the gaming mode?

It's likely installed. Click the Windows button and type NVIDIA and see if you see NVIDIA Control Panel. If not, check if any updates are available for it. I'm guessing it was likely removed from the startup.

Hey Wagner, I'm having an issue with xpadder. When I shut down or reboot at the start of my boot cycle it will ask if I want install xpadder again. I have installed it a few times now and every time I reboot it asks to install. I click on the exe for xpadder on program files and it wants to install again.....ugh any help would be greatly appreciated
@WagnersTechTalk 4 ай бұрын
Try this, make sure the two files are loaded (.xpaddercontroller & .xpadderprofile). With the wrench in the upper-right (nearest the close button), make sure that 'Start with Windows (auto-minimized)' is checked and 'AutoOpen last used profile'. Click Ok. On the task bar, right-click the Xpadder icon and select close. Now reboot and it should start up automatically. It's starting up automatically here, if it's still not for you please let me know.

I cant seem to get anything to show on the correct cabinet screen. I have 4 screens, monitor, main playfield etc. I go into cabinet mode on pinball FX and I see on my pc screen it says ../../pinballfx/mods/cabinet/pfx.png with a black background. If I mouse over the application I can see the 3 windows but I cant open them on any screen to be able to drag them to the appropriate monitor. I have each monitor identified and in the correct order with all of them at the same height. What am I missing here?
@WagnersTechTalk 4 ай бұрын
I assume you're likely using a laptop. Make sure that everything is setup as shown here, BUT the laptop display (or 4th display) should be all the way to the right. Keep the Playfield display the main/primary display (far left). If you set it up this way, all the numbers shown in this video and on the written guide should match up. The missing artwork is an easy fix and documented here for reference: wagnerstechtalk.com/alp4k-pcsetup/#Backglass_Image_Setup . Hope this helps!

@@maxwellotto4958 OTG is greyed out because there is currently no other option. As long as it says OTG (which it does), just move down and select Start. In XPadder, you'll see in this video how to check and see if Xpadder is detecting the buttons. If it doesn't show any activity for the selected tab, try the other one (you'll see two).
