Enabling Pinball FX¶
1. Copy DOFLinxTrigger.dll from where you unzipped the DOFLinx download to the same folder as PinBallFX-Win64-Shipping.exe
2. Make sure that you’ve got the FX files from the \FX folder in the DOFLinx download zip in a folder where you want them, ie C:\DOFLinx\PinballFX\
3. Edit your DOFLinx.INI to
a. Make Pinball FX activate DOFLinx by adding in the PROCESSES= line PinballFX-Win64-Shipping , So if you wanted MAME and PinballFX to activate DOFLinx you would have PROCESSES=Mame64,PinballFX-Win64-Shipping
Note; PinballFX-Win64-Shipping is the process to monitor for, but you still run PinballFX.exe to start PinballFX.
b. have the PATH_FX= parameter point to the place you put the FX files in step #2 above
c. have the PATH_FX_B2S= parameter point to the place you have / will place your set of Pinball FX active back glasses
4. Get the complete set of active back glasses from https://github.com/DOFLinx/B2S-Back-Glasses/releases and place them in the folder you just setup in 3c above.
5. Start Pinball FX
6. Go to Settings | Cabinet
7. Activate cabinet mode if it is not already
8. Go to the DOFLinx tab, enable it
9. Start it all up and have fun.
Note
A couple of people have reported that PinballFX will not “talk” to DOFLinx if DOFLinx is set to
“run as administrator”. Check this if you have a problem.
Running as administrator is an older concept with a lot of pinball software that is not needed any longer.
